Invisible botanist or lag/graphical bug?

[Flonne]

I just spotted one in the act of doing this and reported him but not getting a response from a GM yet. This alleged bot is in the 21X27Y area of the East Shroud using the level 30 rocky outcrops to exploit wind shards.

Not a bug! Seen the same thing on my server Shiva.

They managed to stay invisible while mining, I guess this is the new gen bot. Mine was clearly hiding inside of the rocks, near Blackbrush Station. Chunks of rock flying everywhere, and it was not me. And how the peep! are we supposed to report them, when we can't see them no more? :/

By pure luck, and staying aware for 30 min. I was actually able to get the name of the bot and reported it. This is becoming a very serious case of bad scripting from SE. Up so far I managed to report 4 or 5 of them, but I never gotten any reaction from a GM. A "thank you" would be nice?

SE, when will you respond to this issue and fix it... :/

GMs will only respond to harassment reports. They won't let you know what actions taken for any reports. I reported someone harassing me while I was crafting last night, and a GM messaged me about 20 minutes later to discuss the issue. I've reported hundreds (possibly thousands) of RMTs and bots, and only received canned responses. Those I reported are always gone within a few days, so I'm assuming my reports are helping somehow.

Everyone should report all suspicious activity with as much detail as possible, and then put it behind them. SE will weed out the bad players from the bad connections based on this information, while the reporters continue to play
