Mining bot teleport hackFollow

1.0 had a more involved minigame. For example, in botany you "aimed" your axe along an axis before swinging.

Great in concept, horrible in execution. The switch to just straight up percentages is a welcome one.

I found someone doing this, marked em and recorded them, uploading it to youtube now.
Also, where should i post this also to increase getting SE's attention on this?

And another one in the same zone. Seriously, SE needs to get a handle on this.

SQEnix bans them all in one go, and collects data for a while, that way they can link the seller accounts with the actual bot accounts, as you can guess the farmers go through great lengths to hide the gil they make. I just wish they did gil reversals, no one would buy if the gil they got was confiscated after the seller was banned, they need negative gil too, ***** those buyers.

I did fishing in ffxi and rather enjoyed the interaction i had to do to get the fish/sea monster out of water. Having the ibisu fishing rod certainly made things much easier but you still had to do the minigame to get the fish/monster out of water. I fished for the map to spawn the bcnm to get ahold of the two mercurial weapons that were level 50. People bought them simply for the fast skill ups you got while bashing boyahda tree crabs with them.

Alternatively I leveled cooking and sushi handling while leveling fishing. I made a tidy profit off sushi's this way :)

I haven't tried the fishing in ffxiv yet. Would be interesting to see if they have something similar to break the tedium of fishing over longer periods.

While I could understand them working on a fix behind the scenes, not actually squishing the violators now is sheer and utter laziness on their part. You don't need any kind of fancy program to confirm this **** is going on. Just go to the mining points and watch them zip about with reckless abandon. All it would take is seriously one intern to just visit each cluster for a few moments and watch. Then ban the ************** Tracing the flow of goods/gil is inconsequential to this process, as all trading should already be logged (ESPECIALLY GIL). And naturally, if the RMT aren't getting products to sell, they can't make gil from them, anyway.

Also tempted to lump summoners with pets auto-attacking mobs into this camp of cheese. While a "legit" mechanic, I've seen some just standing in generally safe camps, presumably with macros set up to act only on their pet's target as it engages things as they spawn. AFK and come back to free loot. SE should've learned from this in XI when people were AFKing at chigoes and coming back to gobs of geodes, seals, blood, and even some EXP.

Well then, i'm glad my recording and reporting are worth something after all. They need to do a hard sweep, 2 of the bot miners i've recorded and reported are still doing it. If these are indeed hacked accounts, i hope they get them back, but until the true owner of the accounts can get control again, the accounts need to be locked down. I only say this because all they are going to do is move all the gathered mats from the hacked account to another one.
