Remember WHM teleport bots?

lots of buffs now last 10+ minutes so i wondered why we never saw buff bots.

1. place a COR, BRD or maybe even SMN and WHM next to escha KI NPC.
2. charge reasonable price for buffs, maybe some extra for 1hour version.
3. ???
4. profit

lots of ppl like to solo and not everyone is running a multi box. i'm not convinced RMT would charge reasonable prices and they'd probably attempt to monopolize 1hour resets but if they wouldn't they might even be perceived as a service rather than a disturbance.

Probably because almost everyone and their grandma has mules these days. Countless people play more than one account at the same time. I remember saying that earlier and someone was like, "nobody multi-boxes its rare even though it seems common" and I still think thats false.

I could only imagine if SE didn't nerf the pausing of JA/buffs when people abused Embrava.

multibox trains stick out, thats why they are perceived so common but very few run 6 box, a couple more maybe have 1-2 alts and probably still the fast majority plays solo with trusts.
those with 1-2 mules still could benefit from outside buffs, 90% of the times 1 of the mules is GEO which wouldn't work well with buff botting anyway. even if you already have a BRD or COR mule you can still benefit from buffs you'd usually ditch for go to ones and therefore possibly open a lot more solo options.

Probably because there's better gil per hour to be made doing almost anything else.

thats hard to say befor you know how much demand there is for such a service and the actual prices charged.

the thing they should be more worried about is the extra effort to gear such a bot to provide best buffs possible and the chance to get that char banned as everyone would know you run a bot.
on the other hand SE seems to be already back in turning blind eyes mode.

Probably because any content requiring these buffs is being done by a group who already has access to these buffs, and, if not, pays for help by someone who does.

I don't remember tele bots, but i do remember people jumping on it to help. And i think botting buffs is pretty dumb idea because that would cost millions of gil and blatantly asking for a ban.

there are lots of things ppl do that blatantly ask for a ban yet years pass and pass and they never receive one.

but you're probably right, such bots would just summon fierce fury of every merc on that server and they'd find a way to shut it down.

I doubt botting bards would cause mercs to rage. If anything it would make mercing slightly more accessible.

with super buffs readily available for a much better price than paying a merc i suppose players would attempt more solo play, i could be wrong tho.

No you are wrong the do ban people who are obvious bots such as this terrible idea. You realize there is a delete account button when logging in right? just click it.

Another thing that paints a huge target directly on your face is the fact your long term bottling something right in front of everyone and advertising you are, so good luck with that.

He doesn't want to do it, he wants someone else to, because he thinks he could get himself superbuffed every 10 minutes for 10k to do whatever content it is he's struggling with.

Reality is that with only 6 uses of n/t per hour and guaranteed downtime, you'd need to charge like 300-500k and be on asura for it to even match sparks.
