All of Marilith's Sprouts are bots

A new ban wave just went out, so I thought I'd share an update. It's worse than before, and this isn't even counting whatever's in an instance right now. This is more than half of our population on Marilith.

Here's what a normal class search looks like, with real people.

Here's another, this is all of our RDM on the server right now. All 6 of them.

So then the point of this post is to prove that the ban wave happen since all those level 56 BRDs have been replaced by level 6?

I don't get what you're trying to accomplish here. Bots exist. One set of bots gets banned and a new set is created to replace them. It's a never ending cycle that every MMO sees.

We've still got real players on Marilith and the rest of Dynamis. I'm in MSQ roulette on my Dynamis main right now. I do hunts and others show up as well.

No, a lot of those also still exist. They're just not in the 'New Adventurer' chat because we kicked them all. But you can see them pop in and out of Social when they're doing their turn-ins. I even have some in the screenshot I showed.

The point I'm trying to make is that there's a large majority of our players that are just straight up bots. I was on this morning and half of all players on the server were bots. It's not just a "Oh, bots exist lol" - No, it's really bad right now. When you consider that I have to queue to get into my server because of bots, that's a little messed up.

The screenshot shows 120+ bots in social areas that only had 160 players total this morning. It's insane.

i'll always take free gil >_>

So, I have an alt over there, same name, same appearance etc. I do a yearly replay of the game and thought this was a great opportunity to establish on another DC, redo all of MSQ, take some sweet screenshots...

I mean it is, but the bot problem is so bad I'm finally making my first OF post after 7 years of playing.

I have never seen it this bad. It's become almost impossible to progress through low level MSQ in some areas. I've considered server hopping, but then there's no FC buffs, and you don't earn FC points so I've been sticking it out.

Yeah, there's always bots. But this is a full fledged infestation lmao
