This past few days I've noticed a ton of bots in low level areas warping around and doing quests and killing stuff. By warping I mean appearing at the quest giver, completing the quest and disappearing again. no teleport or return. I'll be killing some mobs and they'll warp in and start casting in tandem etc. Their names are always skdkasdjadjakdjh or somesuch.
Is this a new thing? How do I report them?

Pretty common. Gil-farming bots were always there. Best to ignore them.

That is a thing since i started playing so like start of Heavensward. And SE is for sure aware of them...but they are still teleporting through the game like little rats on speed. I don't think that will change...xD

If you can target one of them, you can use /e <t> so you can have a record of their name in your chat log for later reporting. -
