    I'm sorry but there's no way to do this without playing 24/7 without eating, sleeping, shitting or just about anything else a normal person would do. I tend to assume anyone with more than 3 crafts at rank 50 is a bot and 99% of the time I'm right. This guy certainly isn't a 1% case.

    I don't think some people realise how rampant botting is in this game.

    its not hard to get all the crafts to 50 with the way sp works now
    you would be surprised, i know im not a bot, and i level ALOT more then most people


    just cuz someone has alot of levels DOES NOT make them a bot, just means they play too much at the very least

    now if you can prove they are a bot, thats fair game but accusations without proof = petty

    I think its probably just someone that has alot of time to play... well more like has completely dedicated their life to this game its hard to call that a accomplishment though idk.. but i'll say grats anyway =/

    if i started tyring for 50 in everything from day 1 i woulda had it already too

    you must really not realize how easy it is to level if you cant see it too, especialy after the changes to sp where we can get 500+ per synth now in crafting

    i play 60+ hours week
    i easily make 20-30k sp an hour average synthing

    so thats 1.2mil+ sp a week

    people know i dont bot(im sure how much i talk in game proves that if anything) yet i am still able to play this much and make this much progress regardless

    now yes i realize botting is rampant, ive had my share of run ins with them(and even gotten someone in my own shell banneed for it, but he was stupid obvious)
    But you just cant assume everyone bots just cuz they level alot, as i said, provide PROOF.

    My guess is it's a group of 3-4 college students who all just play on the same account. That is literally the only thing that would make sense because the amount of time it would take to get the much SP is just ridiculous. Maybe if they got it 6 months from now I would believe it was one person/not a bot.

    I assume you come to the magic number of "3" because you have about 2, and anyone play more than you must bot?

    In XI(when we first started) my bro and I did this with 1 character. I was on during the morning to afternoon and he was on afternoon - night. The character was almost always on but people knew it wasn't botting because we always made our own parties and talked. That character became very popular and even made a group of JP friends. We would even let the other know anything that changed or any new person met so people would think we was just one person(our attitudes are the same also).

    For this topic though it would be easy to say this person is botting but I don't know the person(or remember seeing) as he/she is even on my world to say it's a bot.

    Bot.. no Doubt about it..

    A few reasons why..

    1. to get a craft to 50 you need a shitload of mats
    - so either you farm, which takes time
    - or you buy, which takes LOADS of gil ( where it comes from? RMT ?! )

    2. to get every Combat Class to 50 you need loads of time
    - every 36 hours 8 leves
    - every possible Behest
    - with crappy gear you wont get far if you solo SP ( again gil/time for farming )
    - repairs ( takes time/gil )

    3. to get all gathering classes you need MORE time
    - average SP from 80 to 240 ( with 2 leves per city every 36 = 3k Sp extra )
    - getting new gear, since you wont catch/harvest shit with crappy gear ( again gil/farming )
    - LOADS of running

    So there are 3 things which are needed to get all to 50 in 7 Month:

    1. Time
    2. Gil

    To make Gil you need Time..
    Time = essential to get all to 50.

    This Charakter is either leveld by a few people to get it done or its a Bot.. which wouldnt surprise me cause of the Crafts.. even with a few people playing 24/7 its hardly doable to go through all that and get all the gil you need at the same Time..

    So prolly some rich guy who just bought gil and bought a bot.

    i know some hardcore guys who got like 6-8 50's.. and they really play like 20 hours a day, sleep 4 hours and go again.. its kind of sick and sad actually.. but even those guys are FAR away to have all 50's..

    Just a little Hint about this...

    He have to attain 4 ! Ranks a day to get to all 50's, which is IMPOSSIBLE at higher 40's.

    Ok... It does not impress me in a positive way.
    In fact if it were someone i knew in person, i would try to do something about it...
    This can not be healthy, this has nothing to do with dedication or loving to play games...
    (unless of course it is Stephen Hawkings account)

    No idea if he botted or not, we have no ways of knowing that.
