PvP botters are ruining PvP Frontline ...

Ya someone handed out bot programs in mass today. I just had a match where I took 0 damage. I was at every big ice. I was in the middle of the map when not hitting an ice. I have yet to see an enemy PLD use HG at all today. I've seen countless players get to an ice, attack it, then stop and wait to die.

So ya, something needs to be done NOW.

Last night I had a PLD tell me that because he was a PLD that was all he was good for.

Kick those players. If they seem to do it repeatedly, remember the name and report.

I've said my peace on "base guards" over an over, and I'm just fresh out of sympathy on it now. If people aren't going to participate, they don't need to be in there.

This video was just posted on FFXIV's Reddit, So this is what Frontline has become
Full of bots sitting around spawn drinking tea

I would agree, if you could kick more than once every 4 hours and we weren't seeing 12 out of 24 people botting.
Hell, some bots overtake the majority of the alliances, so kicking is no longer an option.

I literally just played two games in a row that had bots filling most of the match. First was with Adders and second was with Flames, and I believe the Adders in that second match were also bots. This is ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS that this is happening.

I also noticed the botting is EXPONENTIALLY worse in the morning hours (PST/EST).

I will admit I am mostly doing frontlines for the exp, but I am also trying to get a bunch of achievements now - killing two birds with one stone. I'm really close to giving up on this and it is really making me disgusted with the state of the game. I was having fun in frontlines, before the botting got rampant.

I don't think any sort of merit based scaling system will do much because I've noticed these bots have some sort of auto target and do basic attack script going on when their leader gets near something they can attack.

Also kicking DOES NOTHING. Most of the time if there are one or two bots, they are on a different team in my alliance and I can't initiate anything and most people don't bother kicking. I had one in my team once and told everyone they were a bot, and it was obvious on the map and in person, they had some sort of movement script going. I initiated kick and it was rejected lmfaaaooooo. Useless feature.

FIX THIS NOW.

What circle of Hell are you people from cause I never see this. I see 1-2 afkers max a match.

Don't get aggro with me lala, I do and it's something I plain never see outside of 1-2 people.

Consider yourself fortune then. It happens a LOT more than people may think.

I play healer most of the time now, and I can't count how many times I start seeing someone taking ton of damage suddently just to notice he's actually autowalk with his mount half way to ennemy base.
