Now I don't disagree that from a practicality standpoint, it's like trying to hold back the tide. My issue was not that someone wasn't reporting every one they saw, but that they didn't even have an issue with it if it didn't directly affect them.

That said, just because the issue may be beyond the individual level to fix via reports, that hardly excuses being a willful bystander to it. I tend to be of the mindset that if you can't be bothered to take even the smallest active role against it, you don't have room to complain about it. I don't ever think reporting to the police that some guy stole a little old lady's purse would ever stop crime altogether in a neighborhood, but I'll be damned if that's not the better option to ignoring it. I'm not saying people need to spend their playtime going around, hunting down bots, but spending 2 mins copy/pasting a handful of names into a report when you see some is far more constructive than anything else you can do.

I'm not bothered by RMT Bots, I'm rather bothered by normal Player Bots that have a normal Name, a normal FC, have Sophia or even Savage Weapons and yet farm tons of Mats as a Gatherer over Night.

Yes they exist and are on every Server and affect the Marketboard with their 99 Stacks of Smithsonite Ores or Luminium Ores...

Easy to find out ...

Nah trust me, I still report players who blatantly bot. I'm just appalled by how they're still not banned yet.
While I try the best to report RMT, I rarely see any due to:

A) Mostly spending my time in the Goblet.
B) Not clicking over them fast enough.

Apologies if I made people mad.

Usually the type of comment said by the botters or people who use them. They bother everyone just by being here, if you actually understand the chain effect they have on the economy.

...I..

What? I know you're not directly saying that I utilize such products, but I don't.
Hell, it's even worse on Gilgamesh.

Usually you see the Players who Bot to Gather tons of Items :

~ At Ephermal Nodes, collecting tons of Crystals / Clusters and Aethersands
~ At Unspoiled Nodes, they usually arrive 20 Ingame Minutes before the Node appears, they stack together in Mid-Air
~ At Normal Nodes mainly for Shards, those are the type that you may encounter in East Shroud or East Thanalan

How to find Evidence for catching one? Well, a Video might be a try, yet after Reporting tons of Gathering Bots fully detailed with Timestamps, Location, Coordinations ...

I assume People who Bot during Night and play with their "Hands" during Peaktime have the so called "Free Ticket" to turn on their Bots, which is somehow sad <_<

I'm loosing Hope actually and I can understand anyone who doesn't care about them after all.
If you grinded your Blue Scrips the normal Way for the Folklore Books ... well .. that's pretty awful, as People can be asleep and their Characters are mining full Stacks of Items...

I just pretty much know how a MMORPG can face it's own Death being overwhelmed by 100.000 RMT Bots and a whole Community Insulting Legit Players....
