    In addition to ongoing STF efforts, we will be setting up countermeasures system wise as we head towards version 2.0. If you happen to notice any suspicious activity in your adventuring, please take a moment and help us out by making an STF report by going here: http://support.na.square-enix.com/co...hp?id=902&la=1
    I hate the 10 character limit.

    SO that's what that was all about? I tp'd to one of the camps and saw about 20 people with similar names. What exactly do they do? I've only ever seen them standing there.

    You are correct. They spam levequests and accumulate billions to be sold to lazy players with money to spare.

    I don't think they are bots tbh, some actually talked to or approached me in a really friendly manner when I tried to "interview" them.

    And I think they're nice enough to name themselves in a way that's so easy to know.

    So, they are either multiboxers or poor (Chinese?) people paid to do it :\
    RMT or not, I don't care. I'd even buy a relic weapon from my cousin if it were possible :v

    Bots in this game are much more sophisticated and harder to tell imo.

    I believe most of 'them' to be bots. Seen at least 5 different of 'these groups'. All follow one or don't move react unless 'leader' moves. They're mostly all same class/level and with same gear, using same attacks/methods.

    These fiends ruin many a games economy and need to be stomped. Why should anyone be able to run around attacking 5~8 at once. When being attacked, having damage spread-out amongst many character and having an extra x-amount of "arms" to back-up 'leader' to heal/rez/buff.. -.-
