I found a treasure!

Same thing occurring on Excalibur as well, in the same spot.

Same on pheonix, had a huge crowd of them near horizon, was talking to a lovely GM whilst they were there,
Actually thought my eyes were playing up as all I saw was a blur of THMs, all same gear, identical looks.

Man..Se get some GMs out there. I've seen similar bots on my server as well. Same class, same dress, and the same spot. They de-poped before I had the chance to screen shot them for a report.

Mother of spiritbond bots...

Good point. Probably SB bots, not (directly) gil bots. Bot up some materia, sell it to gil-buying players, hack a bunch of your clients accounts, recycle the gil to a new batch of cheating (and soon to be hacked) players to buy yet more of your high-priced materia. Rinse and repeat.

Indeed. They're using militia gear, which is excellent for spiritbonding (because of the T3/4 materia). With the Novus quest, materia now has a very high demand. They also have full Hero accesories, which means that they're been doing this for a while. I tried to track if there was someone behind their crafted items, but it seems that they buy their gear from the marketboard. Even if there're repeated names.

There's a similar group in East Shroud near the entrance to the Mun-Tuy Cellars.

When I first learned about using player search to track them I saw many of them doing Wanderer's Palace.

Seen the exact same thing in the exact same spot on my server... bunch of 50's standing around not moving, all with weird named, same class/job and all dressed 100% the same. SE need's to get rid of them, it's obviously not real players.

Ya when I reported it to GM I got a reply that their is no evidence they are bots, they could just be similar looking players playing together.
Yes over 30 identical friends all moving the same time, all freezing up if u hit trade, managed to get a few stuck on terrain doing that
