there seems to be a bunch of accounts on FF14 that have the exact same gear, gibberish names, and do the same quests at the same time… I've never seen bots that obvious
gil grinding and item farming to market, it seems
@nautilee but you can't do that on the free trial
@nautilee then again people did that in WoW when it didn't even have a free trial
I'm not sure how they make money on the free trial accounts but they make enough money off of gil selling to actually buy proper accts.
And there's been tales since forever of malicious actors finding ways into player accounts to steal them and everything they own so...
I wonder what they're actually used for, do they buy the game at some point and trade their stuff? do they sell the accounts after a name change?
