I have heard lately that there are bot's on the Market Boards and that they are literally undercutting real players? Is this true?
Man I thought this crap was under control with the values Yoshida holds dearest. I think I remember him talking about RMT's a while back and how it almost destroyed FFXI and WoW. Which is why the "report RMT" is it's own category in FFXIV.
I remember ffxi RMT and it nearly made the game unplayable. To the point where RMT's owned the AH prices and not even new players could afford anything on the AH. Same goes for bot's camping NM's 24/7 to solely make money. I remember seeing 4-5 75's standing in the dunes where the Damselfly Emperor spawned. They only farmed it for the GIL, I farmed it so I could actually USE the hairpin. But no! It would be on the AH for 17-20mil gil. The RMT's kept prices high on the AH so people would flock to some RMT website purchase the GIL they "farmed" creating this quagmire of pricing run rampant.
I never did this as I didn't want to invest any money into a game I already invested money into. Seriously though making money in FFXI was abysmal compared to FFXIV where it practically rains from the sky. When I did my BNCM runs and FINALLY got a phalanx and Utsusemi: Ni scroll I made 30mil in literally 2 hours. That kept me afloat for years. But to get to that point was horrible, and this is why the 1-30 levels in FFXI will always stick in my mind for the rest of my life as they were just a true test to the community. FFXI was like Dark Souls level of gratification if you could make it through anything in that game.
I hope that FFXIV doesn't go this route of the cancer that is RMT/BOT's and honestly I pay a monthly fee to play this game. SE should see paying customers are unhappy with bots and do everything to remove them.
If Steam and Epic have robust anti-cheat software I would think a company like SE can implement this into their servers to keep RMT's at bay. At least giving people that farm and craft legitimately a chance and not sit on the retainer bell all damn day playing the undercutting game.
