And the dominant population on Spriggan so far is....Bots!

Everywhere I go there are stacks of rmt bots. They flow like water from the Adventurers Guilds to Aetherites. Even seen them pouring out of the Inn rooms (what do they store there?). Most now are either 35 or 47/50 at present. 50's have Ironworks armor and the XP ring from the Smith quest.

Not surprised, the gil sellers want a jump start on selling to the people who were enticed by the idea of being on a fresh server and SE doesn't deal with them fast enough to have any real affect on their numbers. Even if those two servers remain low pop, barring bots, it's still generally a net win for the person controlling the bot if they can just get a few people buying in a steady stream.

Eventually Enix might have to have some full time GM's to start insta-kicking the bots and gold sellers.

If this was a normal MMO, they would've given the GMs permission to deal with the cheaters from the get-go.

The STF really is too small of a team to be trying to manage every single server.

SE should of seen this coming, from what I was told you get 1 million gil from reaching level 30, of course these botters will milk the ever living crap out of it.

New characters also get 15 days of free playtime so even veteran players are taking advantage of these worlds at the moment. Still, I'm sure bots would benefit from those extra days as well until SE does their usual ban wave...

You should remove the screenshot. It includes player names.
It’s also against the rules to name and shame on the boards. You can’t just go posting names and claiming their bots, if a board moderator sees it, they’ll land you in trouble!

Even if they are very much bots, SE honours “innocent until proven guilty” so just report the names you see in game or on the STF site, and be on with your day.

Their innocent until proven guilty thing can be absurd at times. Its the reason so many high lvl crafting/gathering bots get away with it.

If someone is online 24/7 crafting without ever missing a beat, they aren't human.

But SE won't ban them, and they know it.

Rules are rules and the forums have moderators that act much quicker than the STF.

the biggest problem is that bots spam certain duty finder dungeons and new players are complaining pretty often in novice chat that they can't get in zodiac weapon dungeons.
