Take care

12 hours dramaaaaaaa, lovely.

Yep 1200 DPS in A9S is less than 50% than what she can make with i260 as BRD, pre-echo, this should be close to 2700 DPS, so there was indeed a big issue, but I suppose calling out the GF of a dude is a very risky task.

Plus, I even told him that issue with his gf in private WhatsApp chat with him and he went into full rage mode instantly even though I started out politely by suggesting that she should practice her rotation a bit more for the next week we wanted to raid.

Tossing in to say that I got a suspension too. But I’m not sure if it’s from Miqobot yet… I didn’t get an email and I’m still waiting for Square to reply to me, could be in this position for a while. I had left the bot unattended farming MGP too. I think you’re right when you say leaving every ten minutes or so to play another game, going the same path, is really visible to players.

I will post again when I know more or if I hear back from Square.

Arc, are you holding off on using miqobot again for a while?

IDK if that matters. I was at the screen and playing when I was kicked. No whisper.

By the power of Hydaelyn. I got unbanned. I’m so relieved.

Well, I will still use it, but only in the less-cheaty way, like for crafting. My crafting gear is max melded BiS and I never fail at HQing anything while crafting on the fly (no delay between skills), so it’s not really cheating – just an alternative method of crafting and how are you gonna prove I’m crafting manually or with miqo?
I’ll just npt do anything unattended anymore:

@miqobot: Something to consider for other users would be implementing a popup window for miqobot that says ‘Don’t leave me unattended or evil GMs may kick your butt.’ plus a link to threads like this one as an example what can happen if you leave miqo unattended.

Thank you for your feedback very much!

This topic is now moved to private developer section for further investigation. If we require additional information we will contact you once again. We are very grateful to you for cooperation!

We have contacted SQUARE ENIX and consulted with them on the matter of account suspension.
While may not be directly related to this case (as obviously neither we nor SQUARE ENIX can discuss private user information), we acquired an updated summary of the circumstances that may lead to account suspension.

In general, for an account penalty to take place, two events must occur:

1. A direct report accusing someone of illicit activity is received from another player.
   A report can be filed by any player, be it a close friend or a random stranger. In times and areas of high player congestion (such as Gold Saucer during recent MGP event) the probability of drawing another player’s attention is increased.
2. A strong evidence of illicit activity is found.
   Evidence is gathered from several sources, the most common being:
   – chatlog history of account in question;
   – online observation of character in question.

SQUARE ENIX keeps full history of the chatlog since day 1, including private messages.
If there ever was a discussion of third party tools in the game chat, it is considered evident proof of illicit activity. In this case no additional observation or interaction with the character will be made.
It doesn’t matter whether the player who filed a report participated in the said discussion. For example, the discussion could take place between friends but a complete stranger filed a report. In this case said discussion will still be considered a sufficient proof to the report.

Additionally, if there ever was a discussion of a third party tool not related to botting (such as parsers or graphics modifiers), it may also be considered sufficient proof, because SQUARE ENIX can not selectively tolerate some programs and disallow others. All third party tools are equally against the game rules regardless of their impact on game process. The penalty type in each separate case is determined by SQUARE ENIX in its sole discretion.

If no evident proof of illicit activity is found in chatlog history, a character in question will be observed online for a certain amount of time. During this time a SQUARE ENIX representative may or may not choose to interact with the character and ask to comply with certain requests.

If no evident proof of illicit activity is found during observation, a counter claim may be automatically filed against the player who filed the initial report.
Filing a report out of malicious intent is considered harassment and is equally against SQUARE ENIX’s policies and terms of use. In this case the player who filed the report may receive a warning or an account suspension, depending on the previous history of player’s actions and received warnings.

Based on the information above, we can provide recommendations that will help you avoid unnecessary stress during gameplay.

1. Do not discuss usage of any third party tools in the game chat.
   Even with the closest friends.
   Even if these tools are not related to botting.

2. Do not leave Miqobot unattended for an extended amount of time.
   Especially in times and areas of high player congestion.

3. Switch between different zones and activities when possible.
   We recommend getting familiar with our Scenario Engine, as it was designed exactly for this purpose.

We kindly ask every Miqobot community member to carefully review and memorize these recommendations.
