abusing 3rd party software for gathering(Encourage to report)

They more than likely use stealth to avoid agro monsters at certain nodes..

I can't make out the name in the 2nd video but I think I reported him as well. One guy was from that fc RVENT or whatever it is called. S I think even normal players are taking this stupid risk.

For what? As someone said on the 1st page, SE is too slow and someone in a different thread on general discussion was asking why SE doesn't have a GM teleporting across the map banning these players XD I reported a teleporthacking miner 1 or 2 weeks ago and he's still there. I'm ignorant here. I really...really cannot and do not understand what can take so long with banning an account. Yes, there's lots of servers, yes there's lots of ToS Violaters (to sum them up) but when it is SO obvious...

Yes SE might be(is) slow. However if we don't report at all, then the problem will just be dusted under the carpet.

This is getting ridiculous.. I turn off whisper, Turn off shout.. and now they are TELEPORTING around town using /say to spam thier damn gold selling. I DONT WANT YOUR GIL GO AWAY!! FFS! ><!!

[nijn78]

creepy bastards ruining our game reported a few as well today

Thanks for the heads-up about this. I read this thread earlier in the day, then while I was mining later tonight, I actually saw someone teleporting in the area I was in. The actually teleported right in front of me while I was mining at one of the nods. I then watched them teleport from nod to nod in the area, and they were indeed in stealth mode to avoid monster encounters. I reported them as you suggested. To be honest, if you hadn't raise this as an issue, I would probably not though much of it, or just thought that it was odd.

The thing I can't get over is how blatant this is, along with the gold-sellers and there /tells. I got one the other day as soon as I logged in, which isn't a surprise, but then when I walked of the hotel I was staying at, I saw the gold-seller bot that sent me the message standing right there in front of the inn. I have been reporting gold sellers as soon as I figured out how. I just don't have the energy to reporting them all.

However, I am enjoying Final Fantasy XIV.

Stealth just prevents them from being attacked since there is probably no one manning the computer that is running the bot anyway. It just runs 24 hours a day until the move to a new location.

Square bans in waves, not as each pops up. They are also not light with the banhammer. If i could find the link to the bans they post each month in FFXI you'd see. Some months go over 10K. Accounts banned, gil frozen. Each month. There have been thousands of bans already, and i doubt they will slow down.
