you should of replied in a robot voice.
I am not a bot.
Most botters don't respond to questions. And yeah you didn't have to respond to his accusations, but you not responding pretty much confirmed it for him. Doesn't hurt to speak up and save everyone's time and paranoia.
The way i see it if you are walking or talking you are not a bot. If i was to come across a bot farming Diremites or Karakuls i would blow up and go on a swearing tirade for sure. The last thing the Behemoth world needs is another crazy person on the loose in chat. The bots on my server usually just bot glitch farm mining and botany (lol bot-any 2 guesses how botany got its name) and sell it all on the black market undercutting other players.
If you are accused of being a bot in a Shout, quickly respond in Shout as well, because i'm pretty sure bots don't converse or respond with meaningful replies.
So I would be sure to Shout back. You know, something like "Bots can't talk to you, Mister [fill in shouter's name which would require a Copy/Paste or a pair of real eyeballs]"
I did reply in shout ^^ Still, I kind of wish people would not assume you are a bot. It's like farming isn't allowed or expected because they are used to seeing bots. :/If you are accused of being a bot in a Shout, quickly respond in Shout as well, because i'm pretty sure bots don't converse or respond with meaningful replies.

I'm fairly sure there was a rule against Hoarding in XI, to try to keep people from doing such things. Is there not one for XIV (yet)? It is rather annoying to run out and try to kill a mob for a quest, or to farm for your own crafts, and have someone with massive AoE's just obliterating everything in sight. Last I checked Hydaelyn didn't revolve solely around you, and as previously stated a simple response to the guy pointing fingers would have sufficed and avoided this thread entirely. I understand you have crafts to level, but others do as well, a wee bit of courtesy while farming goes quite a ways. Also, what's the point in mass farming when mobs are almost instant respawns, unlike XI where it took zomg *minutes* for them to come back?
DAM YOU YOU BOT!
Sorry, I know what you mean, was called a bot for circling around for half an hour mining. Which kinda made me want to take the chance of getting my account hacked and get a bot.. so dam boring..
We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.
And how are you supposed to level a craft that requires X drop when you have none of them and you have a job that can farm X? It eliminates the usefulness of having a melee/mage job to assist your DOH ones.
