Re: RMT teleport bots... will they get pwned?

I vote for tele-bazaars

Actually, magic bazaars could be a very cool system. You add spells that can be cast on party/people to your bazaar and set a price, and other people can run up and purchase it from you like anything else. Your character would automatically cast it on that character or their party.

Removes the possibility of scamming people out of spell casts like teles and D2s, and allows people to purchase buffs for their parties (for example, in Dunes, you could hang out at camps as a BRD, and people could purchase Ballad for their parties)

Mages would have to manually rest whenever their MP ran out, so it wouldn't be too much of an automated system. Although BRDs would still have a huge advantage there.

Re: RMT teleport bots... will they get pwned?

Id rather have a RMT tele bot then stand in WG shouting for a while. To be honest RMT is a joke, after seeing the mass ban the other day it makes you wonder who the real crooks are. I bank on the "legit" players. (Hope SE does as well).

Translation: I'm a botter! I have telebot installed right now, but I only really use the claimbot cuz my ls told me i have to to get phat lewtz! They say everyone does it, so it's ok!"


Telebotters are mostly likely not RMT, they're your (not so) friendly next door end gamers who get telebot as part of their app package when they join a certain site.

On my server, if they are HNM LS members, they are botters, which a few "legit" ls exceptions. Otherwise, you can spot them by their knee jerk defense of things like telebots.

"They just make life easier! It would be worse if they weren't here."

No, it would be better if they weren't here. And I seriously hope SE's next wave of bans miraculous exterminates every verminous douchebag with apps installed on their PC.

Get. The fuck. Out.

Re: RMT teleport bots... will they get pwned?

I believe that since the tele haven't been created for gil making but to teleport a party, SE won't be making any changes there.

Re: RMT teleport bots... will they get pwned?

I guess my feelings on the taxibots are like the bots in the rest of the game SE isn’t going to be able to stop it so there’s not much we can do about it.

People had the same opinion about gil sellers and SE has put a HUGE dent in their business.

Re: RMT teleport bots... will they get pwned?

Ok I know this is my first post and I should probably don my flamesuit because of it but all of these solutions just sound wrong. They all read as though you want SE to make you a bot to use to teletaxi.
To be honest I’m in the camp of until I see 2k-3k for a tele I'm not stopping my normal activities but even then I’ve made 20-30k in an hour before without even actively hunting for people to taxi. I guess my feelings on the taxibots are like the bots in the rest of the game SE isn’t going to be able to stop it so there’s not much we can do about it.

Re: RMT teleport bots... will they get pwned?

I vote for tele-bazaars. You set your price for each teleport, retrace, warp 2, etc. Interested party buys from your menu, and you're automatically added to their party and start casting (if they have others in their party, they have to pay the party price). You arrive, disband, and warp back. Once you're home (or once you're done casting for retrace and D2), you start healing, and the only options available in your tele-bazaar are the ones you've got the MP for.

Re: RMT teleport bots... will they get pwned?

I wish on my off hours, I could "rent" my teleporting services to Jeuno or whatever city, similar to how SeeD was paid every so often for employment.

Say I rent out my services while I'm at work, or asleep, then when I wake up I get some amount of gil from it. The npc would be paid the full amount (say 200 gil), and anyone that's renting their character out would receive some type of profit for helping out.

nah... that's probably a dumb idea, I dunno. *shrug*
I guess mass bannings are the way to go.

Re: RMT teleport bots... will they get pwned?

Check the prices on ffxiah.com if you like ... there's still money in crafting, but a lot of it tends to be in the HQing.

Re: RMT teleport bots... will they get pwned?

Have they sorted out the AH and the inflated prices now?

That's one of the reasons I left the game

Re: RMT teleport bots... will they get pwned?

Maybe SE should put teleport/D2/Retrace/Recall NPCs in Jeuno/WG, but have them charge 5k-10k or more per teleport, and a varying scale by demand like chocobos, so as not to discourage tele-taxiing by players. It sure seems to be a good way to sink more excess gil out of the economy.

There's excess gil still in the economy? It's been 4 years since inflation was a real problem.

Re: RMT teleport bots... will they get pwned?

There used to be telebots on Kujata but they either got banned or the players just kept pressuring the bots out of telewhoring. I think it was a bit of both.

Re: RMT teleport bots... will they get pwned?

Teleporting is a great way to make cash though..

I don't know what I'm talking about I've not played in over 3 years :lol: I was gonna make an arguement but I can't because I remember nothing...

Re: RMT teleport bots... will they get pwned?

actually, is there any reason that the major cities shouldn't have NPCs to teleport people to crags? It's not like it makes sense to force players to use other PCs for this.

The only real disadvantage to having an NPC handle it would be the loss of income by legit telewhores. But I would suggest that it's not really fair to have a gil making facility that only ONE job can use, anyway, and that for semi-afk playing, there's crafting. It would be better to design a way for low level healers to easily make gil; like melee can easily and effectively farm. Maybe a "WHM reparation fund"; distribute the money NPC telewhores make to WHMs based on what teleport spells they have unlocked and how often they play WHM Or more seriously, something like a low level, one man escort quest (Say, the lowbie beastman zones)

Re: RMT teleport bots... will they get pwned?

I remember finding it difficult to get people into a group to tele taxi, it was my main source of income it was easy and convenient in Jueno when I first got there and it actually made me want to go out and get the more difficult teleport spells.

This Tele Ninjaing makes it sound like I'm going to have a very difficult time making income when I get back into the game.
