Well stumbling around the world at Eastorn shroud (17.25) found a army of bots wasting valuable slots for real players care to ban them GM? be easier on the server load if you got more proactive on these botters, free up at least 11 slots for players.

Wow are you serious? these people don't waste time...
It almost seems like the recent string of "locking down character creation" may infact be tied to the recent burst of RMT and botters. If you think about it theres really no other reason to prevent char creation unless you simply dont have the room to save a 1-10kb file with a character name, wich i highly doubt is the issue. With that being said locking out player creation effectivly prevents more than 1 char on a server at any time on the same accounts making RMTs have to go through the entire entro over and over.. just think its a way, albiet a poor way, of SE trying to mitigate RMT atm.. Just my thoughts though
Wow, I've been waiting to log in on this server for about an hour now...with the 1017 error. Bots are taking up spots..? Unacceptable.
Between gold sellers, and bots in the game, and people will shred someone a new one if they afk'd. Of course their attention is probably focused on getting server issues fixed before focusing on bots and whatnot.
oh alot of us are talking about it atm in shout and hovering around them chatting - waiting on a GM to come ban them ....
Good luck on the waiting around, its apparent that they are obviously elsewhere atm. Ive yet to hear or see any sort of GM on any server yet, much less it seems that most of the forum administrators so far have been from eastern decent, it would be really nice to have a western administrator who can communicate with us a little better in a more grammically available and less "premade statement" style of chatting.
http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...l-Queue-System also check this out and post if your a supporter of our cause, were trying to get them to remove the 1017 they intentionally setup and place the queues like they used to be
i've seen them on the east shroud
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I was just curious how you knew they were bots. From the screenshot I personally couldn't tell bots from 11 people who look like they're all ranged looking at the same thing (much like when a single mob fate finishes)
I dont think they're bot. I mean, where the proof in that picture? To me, they're just people standing there instead of logging out to prevent the 1071 error.
If you really want to get them ban, record a video showing that they are botters/cheaters and then sent it to SE and/or post it in public like this one.
That how most hackers/cheaters/botters get away. Screenshot doesn't do you any good!
and think about this, do you really think SE is keeping logs right now? hell no! They have way to much bugs on their hands. That why you see many hackers during launch since that is when the game is most vulnerable.
Like I said, the only ways to to record videos.
P.S. How do i know this? Because i play a lot of mmos. And this is all speculations from me, a computer geek.
