Why Is Dynamis Dead

[Enkidoh]

This is why I'm done with Dynamis. Constant flow of bots zipping through walls, ceilings, and under the terrain while going through MSQs. It irritates me when bots spawn additional mobs when I'm doing the same MSQ. It's fun when a genuine player spawns more mobs, but not when bots are doing it while hacking under the terrain. And it's also irritating when bots are grinding FATEs. None of this prevents me from progression, but the game looks like a hacking fest and completely spoils the mood for me.

Bots are found on every server and in every data centre though, it's not just a Dynamis-specific issue. Unfortunately it's a zero-sum game, no matter what SE does to try and deal with bots, the companies that run the bot farms find out new and creative ways to circumvent it, and ultimately players end up suffering either way no matter what happens.

And before you pass judgement, SE were never able to fully eliminate them from FFXI either over the many years that game has been running.

I do acknowledge that bots are active on all servers, but the current intensity of bots in Dynamis is the reason I've stopped playing in that DC. It's been less than a year since I first started playing FFXIV and I've done MSQ progression on three characters prior to the launch Dynamis. I did notice some bots in the past, but it was quite infrequent and never came close to a level that I felt like posting anything about it. In contrast, it's so bad in Dynamis right now that I've already decided I'm done. Back to Crystal for me.
And I'm just stating why I decided to stop. I have no suggestions for SE nor any expectations.
