I'm not sure how long these have been around, I personally noticed the first one like two or three weeks ago in Coerthas, but now with the release of Rogue/Ninja these bots became a lot more common.
How do you know that's a bot?
After the 2.28 update players are no longer able to move around the map with the AFK icon, performing any action removes the afk status regardless if it was set manually or automatically.
These bots, just like those miner bots, are able to travel around the map attacking only fate monsters, though they tend to get stuck when they walk into a platform.
Are these bots also going to be ignored by the Special Task Force / SE?

FATE bots been around since ARR release, even had youtube videos showing how they operated.
Much like the SB bots, SE hasn't bothered to do anything to them -

No, the busy icon is a circular one, the afk icon is the chair, how can you not know that?

If only the bots knew that they could disable that AFK chair icon... lol
