The main thing i’m looking for is something my friend can use that will help with her disability (She has a hand issue.) We both love miqobot, and can’t wait for it to be back.. But it’s war, and the dev’s need to focus on their homeland first. We’ll be here when they get back, even if we have something else until then. Miqobot just feels safe.
This was my main issue, I also have underlying wrist injuries that will not allow me to play the game to any decent form. That’s why I decided to read up on, idle in discords and check alternatives.
For ease of use, it’s easy to favor Miqo. And that’s why we’re all here, still waiting patiently even though we’ve had to find alternatives in the meanwhile.
Stay away from MMOMinion, we were going to test it out last night.. It pretty much takes over your PC.
For crafting and such, ReMouse Micro is what I use for crafting. I set up a macro in-game, then record mouse clicks. Set it to play for 50 minutes, then redo. No where as good as miqo, but it’s an easy alternative until they are safe and back.
Be careful with other bots, if the bot does anything different from what Miqobot does (Like altering packets, something that Miqobot DOES NOT do) it will send a red flag on the server and you’re toast if they do any maintenance and scan the server to see any anomaly.
This is the problem with moving out of comfort zones, you gotta be careful about things you say but don’t understand fully:
There’s very little benefit to altering packets, not only are you potentially gonna flag your connection almost immediately at that point you’re altering behavior directly on big corpo servers, they can then actually proceed legally against you.
Fortunately for all of us, most of XIV is stored and read from memory. And as it stands, you change the memory and the server syncs it up to the client. That’s why teleporting works even without reading/writing packets or direct communication/manipulation of server calls.
Miqo themselves have decided to have an openminded mindset from now on, but we as a community need to follow suit. Most people will never have used any of the alternatives or other tools. That means you’re not even remotely close to being proficient with it or their quirks. It’s like picking up nun-chucks and expecting to not plaster them across your forehead on first try, it’s just not happening.
Now, the fact of the matter is that Miqo has the simplest, easiest, entry barrier for automation I’ve ever seen. It’s legitimately so incredibly simple and user friendly. It’s as simple as fire and forget. Other approaches aren’t as clean as Miqo, and that will always be an advantage going forward for our boys. And I think they pride themselves a lot on it.
Edit – I haven’t tried Minion at all, because their pricing is a bit absurd to me personally. But some people use it and that’s absolutely fine, I’m not defending ANY alternative, I’m saying “Gather more resources before pointing fingers” because no one likes that done to them. (Imagine someone doing the same to Miqo, we’d also defend and give proof that Miqo wasn’t at all hooking into their system like they were claiming)

Unpopular opinion: I won’t be resubbing indefinitely as a charity. Miqo was way behind on their roadmap before a war broke out, achieving zero updates for 6.0 thus far. Unless you’re actively fighting in the war or running for your life what’s the hold up? If you have internet access and nothing else to do what’s the excuse? I like this application, but I’ll be taking my money somewhere where people are more motivated to keep their program up to date until hopefully Miqo gets their act together.
Stay safe.
Good riddance, we appreciate you leaving.

If Arc’s not able to make a private section (i.e. they don’t have the proper permissions or something), what should we do then? Any ideas on how we could get in contact without posting info on a public forum? Lol
You guys can always make a Discord that’s available only by accepting specific people in. Or telegram, or any of those really.
I do not have the technical expertise to help with something like that so I wouldn’t be of much help (other than troubleshooting or testing) – But I do actually can get behind something like this.
I think if it’s in arc’s power this is a very solid idea that would not hurt the MiqoTeam in this specific, VERY exceptional, setting.
Good shout boys.
I would usually disagree with divulging stuff like that, but I assume the MiqoTeam would be open to an exception this one time I suppose.
It does make sense, takes the pressure off them for a bit and if people really want to get the new addresses they can so the bot can be used. If not the bot timer goes into freeze-mode anyway, so it’s not like your subscription is going to waste.
At least I hope that’s an automated thing and not some “switch” the team has to flip manually.
No need for updates right now.
As a customer, I can safely say that the priority isn’t “waaaaah but muh bot”, but an actual empathy moment for the people who haven’t let us down yet.
Right now, shit sucks way too much for all the people of Ukraine, it’s not a “conflict”. It’s a War where war crimes are being committed, keep that in your mind.
Show empathy, we’re all humans. The updates arrive when they arrive, all of the best to the dev team. All of the best to Ukraine, hold on to that sovereignty, the whole world is with you guys.
Ive tried contacting them. They stopped answering emails as well.
This part is worrying however, Miqo is well known for their excellent e-mail reply rate. So I’ll give you guys that.
I always use an authenticator. I did check my mogstation and ps5 came up on the list which i haven’t used in a week, which is weird. But someone else logging in shouldn’t teleport you back in time tho? I changed password anyway
I thought it was a server crash as well but nobody else in my FC was disconnected so IDK what it was? I still didn’t receive any warnings or emails so I have no idea what’s happening….
If it makes you feel better btw, Sony and Square have assbackward interactions with FFXIV accounts on their services.
An account becomes perma-locked to your PSN profile to be able to access FFXIV, you even have to send them a support ticket for them to EVALUATE the possibility of changing it, and then wait up to 48 hours for the change to be committed.
So your PS5 logging in might have just been a weird bug, because unless you share your PSN account, ain’t no way someone’s logging into your FF account on PS5 without your actual playstation account too.
Its still a setting that has to be constantly toggled.
More options = never bad.
Less options = more restrictive/bad -
