The bot i found that SE wont do anything about

Pretty naive to assume you can get rid of botting. You won't. Besides I have a feeling when they start charging the rules will be enforced much more actively. Either way bots are a way of life in MMO's, you won't be able to stamp it out entirely, ever.

So we should just sit back and take it? That sounds like a fun game. - . -

Ive played probably every MMO on the market. FF11 had the strictest rules against bots, even establishing the STF to combat them. Bots are still everywhere. And of course we have FF14 with most of their core game mechanics designed around combating them to the detriment of the game. You can only do so much before the actual enjoyment of the game is affected for real players.

Don't sit and take it, but don't expect this magical solution to completely eradicate them. It's just not going to happen. Report them as you see them and be done with it. It's the best you can do.

I don't think anyone's assuming we can get rid of ALL the bots.

But even getting rid of some makes a teeny difference and is better than just bending over.

Well true, to elimate every single bot is near impossible.

Failing that, why not every single person report every (suspected) bot they see? we know what to look for, we can pass that info on. My point is, if SE see that the players consider this a strong issue, they will see more reason to act strongly against it.

So, why not report the next (suspected) bot you see in-game? (btw, that question is for everyone lol)

Seeing obvious bots no actioned has a chilling effect on reporting.
