Is there any better way of reporting Bots?

Like we have proof that bots arn't getting band so the only message it sends out is everyone might as well bot and we will make the game even more trivial

Actually... You be surprised, most of the people who Own bots don't care about the sub and stuff so they won't be thinking "I may no Wana do it" , allot of MMO have declare war to Bots.... No a single one has won, hell WE ended worse then the bots because it came to the point the innocent player where getting ban.
I'm no defending Bots, but logic won't work. Is just gonna Become endless war where we never gonna get stuff to play seeing as XIV money limited by SE.

We lose to the bots when players don't get features they want do to RMT exploiting them. Such as mailing items to our own characters.

How about a random quest that makes you to read the scroll with random letters and type it in to the box, to prove you are not a robot lol. With checkmark obviously xD.

Does anyone know whether it’s okay to report the ‘multiple identical people’ bots via the quick “report RMT activity” option in the chat log? Is that what they’re actually doing?

Can you report them via that if they don't talk? That was just for the rmt chat spam I believe.

True - might be able to report by directly targeting them though? I’d have to check. Certainly could have reported the pack I was standing next to when I suddenly got eight “Qwertyuiop Asdfghjkl reached level 11!” messages in my log....

The report only works out of chat. I suspect the so and so reached level whatever message would let you report them but I have never had an opportunity to try it. I have reported leveling bots before and even the FC they were part of. I don't know if any action was taken against the bots but I do know SE never did anything about the FC as I could see more bots under it several days later. I've decided to give up trying until I have a right click report player option and even then given the apparent not caring attitude towards bots might not even then.

i was waiting for an friend in mor dhona when i noticed someone fighting in the walls. Jup, in the walls. like how can they do that and why doesnt the server outokick for that?
-I made an playersearch for blm lv 50 in dhona and ofc found em... then i made the mistake to make another search...

And dont even dare to call this namecalling or anything...

Need to censor pic if you don't want a forum ban.

It's pretty silly that you're more likely to get banned trying to get a bot banned then the bot itself.

Especially because of the fact that some of them are only half-AFK and have their main account actually playing at the same time, so they could easily just check back on the bot, notice that a player was doing a bot check of some sort that could be flimsily considered as "harassment" (I've heard of people getting jailed for leaving a trade window open on a bot just once...nevermind that a real player would quickly just close it and move on with their business) then report you for it.

Blizzard has been doing a good job of dealing with bots in WoW, actually, enough that I'd say they're winning the war.

Mostly because they have the sense to target the makers of the bot programs instead of the ones using them. They somewhat recently filed a lawsuit against one of the major bot creators (Which also makes XIV bots...), and they won.

It's a pity they couldn't gotten the entire company axed instead of just the bots affecting their game.
