We need players to be more vocal about this issue or SE wont take us seriously. this thread should have well over 11 pages. Having said that the spamming is out of hand and lessens my enjoyment f the game. I at least block 8 spammers in any given day or more and it messes up my respnding to other players .

that is saying they wont take their TOS seriously if they continue ignoring the posts of video of hackers and ignoring the reports i have reported the same guy 3 times and he still continues teleporting around between gathering points with nothing being done

Yes, this is getting tiring now.

Even as I write this, there is a bot so far down there is no person or name. Just the flash of the pick mining.

Why not code it so you MUST be in a particular spot/plane for the mining to work? You cannot pick up or interact foo far below or above an item in the game ... why not do the same for mining? Would force bots to be in front of the node wouldn't it? No hiding below or falling from above.

I also would HIGHLY suggest DO NOT buy large stacks of shards (talking many many many stacks of 99 shards) from the market on your server. Even with people in my guild, they can average 600 shards on a good play time, and that's over a long period of time. The amount some places are stupid.

Report what you can.

I love how the gathering and crafting jobs were redone and they are enjoyable to lvl now (I took fishing to 50 in 1.0 so didn't have to relvl it but still enjoy how it was redone a lot) However tho when lvling bot/min the joy is taken away when I see nodes being hacked by underground bots.. and these same bots have reports on them from well over 50 people and nothing is done cuz they are still there the next 2 weeks. Same area doing the same thing. Now in the shroud I've noticed they have upped their game where they don't swing every time to gather. It's 1 swing and it nets them a full harvest of w/e they are hitting. Most likely it's crystals because that is the only valuable thing in the market atm.
What I would LOVE to see SE do and I'm sure this might have been mentioned before is please for the love of god have a shift of GM's that patrol certain area's where reports are made. So they can observe and see for themselves the case and instantly ban those ppl right then and there. Not wait for a report then when a month goes by look into data. When a report is made by at least 5-10 people have it auto-flag or send a message to whoever in the STFU to sign in and go to that location and observe the nodes. Or even better is have a GM stationed in every city that you can report too for things like this and they can teleport to the area and do it. I'm not saying hire someone and make them sit 24/7 but if you have like 10 people rotating shifts on 1 GM character then it's a good way to hammer down on the activity. I know Yoshi is pretty upset with how the RMTs are still trying to ruin this game tho there really isn't much for them to do and a lot of the stuff is easily soloable and obtained by a player themselves. But the shout spam and the bot spam is enough to ruin the joy of game play for anyone trying to have fun.
That or since these bots are using a 3rd party script that somehow allows them to do this. Why can't SE make a script that cannot be bypassed or unwritten that nodes cannot be harvested from under the map terrain. Anyone who is under there trying to harvest a node gets a 'out of reach' message. I'm sure it can be done because near copperbell mines I was trying to hit the bots inside the mountain wall with mob AoE but it never went thru the wall. Same with trying to target the RMT could see them but couldn't target them. So the same should be implied with the node they shouldn't be able to target/reach it. That or make a script that when you hit the node it registers your players location and if you are located under the map terrain you are instantly error'd from server and cannot log back in for 15 hours or something. I dunno I'm not a programmer or a script writer. But it would help a lot to have one or the other.. Having a group of GMs online in game 24/7 (rotated by ppl irl on workshifts) going to area's where bots are reported and taking action would be the best thing to do.
