Might as well report it here because the task force don't do jack about it. Fabul is rampant with botters

I've been reported for botting a bunch of times when all I was doing were locals. I didn't get GM tells. When other players dislike you, they will call GMs on you for anything they can think of. LS mate was joking around saying she was going to do a sexy dance and was sent to GM jail because it made another player "uncomfortable". Honestly, if you looked at the log you'd understand how they would have got her on it because she described it as a sexy dance, but it was so harmless even the GM made a comment that it was borderline preposterous.
Anyway, with that being said, there needs to be a better way in detecting craft botting than there is, or is not, which is more the case. A few times doing locals or light grinding for an hour or hour and a half I have missed a bunch of interaction with me due to having my above chat log which holds outside interaction of /say, /emote, ect covered up by my craft window. There is a reason for this though and I know many others do this as well: They don't want to be bothered while crafting. I hate prolonging my grind sessions because of stopping to interact with other players or have discussions with the linkshell. /tells are not really an issue as they should show up on all logs. Also, GM tells show up even if you have /tells off. So if you're getting a /tell from a GM and you don't interact with them while you are still making crafting commands.... you're probably asking for it. As far as others interacting with crafters, sometimes no response means something other than what you think is all I'm saying.
That is the only instance in which you can get caught and that is kind of unacceptable. Also at the same time... it's hard to think of how to change crafting to prevent botting, but also allowing legitimate crafters not go through so many hoop jumps to start and finish a craft. Perhaps the meaning there may be so many bots are that there are good plans and changes to these systems that will more easily detect them. That is the optimism talking though... -

Before writing this post I'm running the second day near Sore Mium. And only after that dared to write of him: "He's a bot."
This may not be a man. Man after a maximum of three errors will draw conclusions. Sore does not want to do with the ninth error. Useless hit a mob whose I hit. As a russian I can understand him: "Stranger mob sweeter! ^_^". But not in this game. Especially if near is another Doblin.
For his tenacity to run over my engaged mob, I would put a monument to him. If he was not annoyed me. I tried to take him in cave, I tried to take him out of the territory of the respawn Doblins. But Doblin respawn in his field of vision, and he resorted again. -

Anyone who is on the Figaro server HAS to know that Dokf Skid is the bot ringleader for that server. He's got a cadre of 7 Lalafells all the time following him doing leves and farming. I first saw this guy as an actual bot killing Hoverfly Swarms (or something similar) in a cave area in Cassiopeia Hollow at early release. The respawn was really quick so he'd farm shards/mats all day long.

Honestly the damn Task Force does nothing because myself and countless others have been reporting this guy since release. And if you think I'm crazy just google Dokf Skid Bot
