Apparently there is a script/bot that allows your character to buy blinkers and sell blinkers for you while afk. There is a guy on my server blinkering 100's of millions of gil at a time with 8-10 characters. The guy does literally nothing but cruor spam/blinker and is creating 100's of millions of gil out of thin air. While I don't know if this is going to cause a ban or not. I did report it to the STF as I can see this being a problem.

Spoiler Alert! Click to view.

I don't see how you can make it more obvious ... lol

1) You can't make gil out of thin air, you have to have made cruor in order to convert it.
2) How can you tell that the person is using a script and not sitting there pushing buttons? It's the same thing I do when I convert mine.
I clearly miss how this should be reported, and I really hope that those of us that make some extra gil this way don't end up paying the penalty in the near future.

My characters have a themed name because they're all me. Is that really hard to comprehend? Should I like, not have my characters together because it offends your sensibilities? I'm sorry if I don't give a ***what you think, but having multiple characters does NOT mean someone is botting.

It's my money, I can do what I want. Why are you mad?

I'm creating gil, ya. So is the wall of 40 hakuryu-bots in glacier. If I farm cruor for 5 hours, I get ~2m per character or 16m total. That's about all I can stomach in a day, and converting takes up even more time. The hakuryu wall is generating over 80m a day. Every voidwatch run is dumping 500k+ in NPCables, since nobody bothers AHing their ***drops. Problem?

Your character is currently fishbotting in Nashmau. Thoughts?

Oh, and..

Just to feed that jealousy, brother.

I never said having many characters = botting.

That argument is flawed but i'm too lazy/tired to argue. I'm not jealous, I understand you need to work for cruor and you work for/ earn your gil and I don't have a problem with that. I do have a problem with the blatant blinker botting though, and that is why I reported you.

Too lazy/too tired to argue = lacks a good argument. You were personally bothered by what I'm making, so you got upset over it. Okay, understandable. I pointed out a far more unjust scenario that is ACTUALLY botting, which you ignored. I suppose that's just because you'll be joining the wall the second you get an Ebisu though, at which point I'm sure plenty of people will report you.
