Botter doing the extreme.

Combating bots, or people you THINK might be bots is a sisyphean task not ever worth the trouble. Design a better mousetrap and someone will design a better mouse. Just give up.

I won't tolerate the insult of crappy "mice". If I spot an obvious bot while gathering, or a spammer FLOODS my chat window while I'm still entering an area, I will do everything in my power to inconvenience them. Let them go through the trouble of signing up for a new account and tweaking the program to last a little longer before they get banned again. They are ruining the game, I'm going to make them work to do it.

The hacks that are out are pretty crazy for this game atm, but they hacks are so obvious that I wouldn't be surprised if SE mass banned them soon. Also, there are bots teleporting between gathering spots, there are probably teleport bots out for fates too.

There is a straight up infestation of teleporting, Lalafell gather bots around Ul'dah on my server. They actually teleport INSIDE the rock, which makes them impossible to target and difficult to see the name unless you look at them from just the right angle.
