I think this needs to be said : FFXI General Discussions

for the people who ask about botting ideas or request programs. we arent telling you its a bad idea just to be mean. if you look, we have very valid reasons why we think you shouldnt do it.

and that reason is this:

yes you paid for premium, and its your ffxi account, you can do as you please. BUT, for every person that gets caught, it gives SE new ideas to prevent botting. the offsets get changed, and most bots break. as we have seen, sometimes it can take a while to get them back working

im not trying to tellyou what you can and cant do with your money, but only encourage you to think about the community as a whole

Well said. But you may want to add that IF they chose to bot, don't do anything stupid with it that could ruin it for other people (Example: Botting in front of 25+ different anti-botter people).

lol thats what the whole thing says.. but if it wasnt clear enough, now it is
