careful guys. until something is added to make it handle current frontlines strategy properly - the purists are on the rampage. ive been botting without so much as a tell since ffxiv launch and have now been banned :(
the last few tells in my chat log are "whats wrong with him" and someone else "hes an afk botter"
based on my prior experience the ban is highly unliikely to have happened via any kind of detection. It was pure player reports which ive always heard they take seriously.
Since this has only even been possible a few days they apparently act quick.
Im upset but not too miffed. Worst part is the new job coming really soon. I have other accounts I havent even fired up yet, but after all the work that went into this one over the years now... certainly sucks. Fortunately due to this bot ill be able to get back to a near degree within a few months i reckon. Maybe slightly longer.
Anyways, do yourself a favor and dont use this unsupervised. I know telling you not to use it at all is pointless, and supervising does little when it runs off like rambo which is apparently really frowned upon in frontlines. It does give you one benefit which is replying to people who accuse you of botting. All i can say is you know the risk and losing a main account stings a bit more than a backup or alt account lol.
One idea....other games which shall go nameless, have a feature in place to speak every xxx amount of time and emote via xxx amount of time to combat this to some degree. Not sure if its something which can be created via lua module? You can program different phrases and emotes to go off every xxx amount of time which if you flesh out with a dozen or so choices can do a pretty good job of getting some people off your back under the assumption your a player.
Anyhow, ive carried on too much. Good luck and be careful. If it can happen to me it can happen to anyone.
P.S. Ace - please try to get in that solution for requeueing after being kicked as soon as possible. Apart from the obvious time is money sort of mentality, i noticed when you are kicked, the bot still thinks its in frontlines persay. It will continue running and I had often glanced at my screen to see it running into a wall or side of a fence perpetually for god knows how long which is an obvious give away. I know starting from scratch is going to compel me to try and bot more frequently than I did in the past which to me means every little bit is gonna help lol. If i didnt know better id say being banned has made me paranoid now :(
Anyways, If the requeuing portion takes a substantial amount of work - perhaps a way to atleast stop it from moving after the kick when it re emerges in its original zone?
Good luck folks. Off i go!
I think avoidance is for ae directional attacks. could be wrong though.
same - i have no problem with flames. restart the game and bot if its giving you trouble. it somehow becomes unsynced at random or after a length of time.

We could need:
- "don't chase"-option, or "only chase for 30yalm, then come back."
- Stay inside flag range, even when "afk-move" is on
And what does "avoidance" do?
I think avoidance is for ae directional attacks. could be wrong though.
