Is SE doing anything about these FATE botters?

It's getting more each day.

they are going to make it easier to bot in the new area's does that help?

What the heck are fate botters?

the STF are working on it, but it wouldnt hurt to get a better report feature.

There are alot of people using FATE botting apps to help them train up their char. Head to northern thanalan. Most of the people with chocobos are botters.

They all follow a directed path towards the FATE, one easy way to see the botters is with a FATE where you have to protect the NPC. They will all crowd behind the NPC.
(I know this is not enough evidence to tell they are botting, but if you look long enough it becomes clearer)

In adamantoise i see a ridiculous amount of blm bots, they all have the same gear and color, they warp everywhere and glitch the game, they kill mobs till they lv up, heck i even entered one random cape westwind where they where killing rhitatin without even starting the fight they glitched him and klled him slowly while i reported them, what is their goal anyway? they are just increasing server stress by having to load more characters

Probably not.

I thought it looked a bit better than when I last left the game (not saying a lot though).

I'm way more worried about the crazy gil seller spam, because gil sellers may be botting, but could also be account hacking or who knows what. And they undermine the game in a fundamental way, and little visible action is taken against them.

Doesn't seem like they care. The comunity reps never reply to these topics and reports never get a reply or you can't call a GM in game to show them the issue.
By the time they do anything people will be all lv60 and will only get a 1 week ban for it and that's a huge joke.

Tonberry saw a reduction in botters, still alot, but a reduction.

Used to be a huge mass in N Than, now its just a moderately sized mass, lol.
