Thaumaturge in 8v8 feast. Bot or legit player?

I know naming and shaming is against the rules, but there's been a Thaumaturge (not a blm!) running around in 8v8 the last few nights, I've noticed them running back and forth between the center and the spawn point whenever they start taking damage. Is this a bot? Should I report them? If it's not should I just report them for being a thm rather than being blm? I'm not exactly sure.

Quite possibly a bot/hack being run by a "legitimate" player. You could always video your game play, if possible, & post it to YouTube. After all, it's just showing your play style & no attempt to get anyone to identify the offending player at all. No siree.

I'd say it's a bot there's been a few on Primal in other PvP matches, for example yesterday morning during a 24 man shatter. There was this blm who had the afk symbol on her head during the start which I thought would kick you out does it not? Also this blm would go middle, nook by base, and north, small ice was north but did 0 dmg, I'll see if I can capture video as early in the morning on Primal there's a few...questionable players playing in those 24 mans.

A few? My dear, they number in the *dozens* on Primal. At least twice a week I report different ones in Frontlines. Given that at the moment I'm only doing my daily Frontlines roulette due to time constraints it means that roughly 2/7 matches have a bot/AFK player. They're never the same name twice either so there's a sizeable pool of scum lurking somewhere. XD

Yeah it's really shady..I report as much as I can too and they're not the same person I'm glad that people know about this, the more that do the more SE can do something about it hopefully. It just makes me mad that people would bot when PvP is so dead in the hours that I play with my friends that are up at that hour since their schedules are limited.

If you ever need to raise your blood pressure or prepare for a fight just watch the Primal PVP streams on Twitch. Even 'top leaders' openly cheat & talk about it in their stream. This is in Feast & Frontlines. Listen for clues like "superspeed time" & for *certain* software calling out limit breaks, low HP of opponents etc. It's even worse in PvE content like Savage. These people could almost run it with their eyes closes by the amount of help the software gives. >_<

In PvP they could remove all 'skill preparation' from chat log or have log lines delayed so they couldn't be used for instant callouts. But nobody will bother of course. When Yoshida himself makes a post about GCD hack, but that person isn't suspended, continues to cheat in Season 3 as evidenced by videos, reported many times, gets his top 100 mount and still playing. It shows all you need to know about how devs care. If they aren't banning then they are making that acceptable.
