    It's what I do.

    I just name the zone, the specific area and coordinates.
    On the name section I just say I don't know because I am unable to target them.

    On a side note, you can turn on others gathering results on your chat log and try to find the name of the bot, although you must be careful not to provide the name of a legit player not botting.

    English is not my mother language. I'm trying to do my best, so please don't be rude...

    I checked under "Announcement" in chat filter but there is only "Own Gathering Message" but no "Other's gathering messages." I thought it had it, like, long long ago, but maybe they removed it somehow.

    I ran into them for the first time yesterday and I immediately reported, asking for GM live observation of the area. Not sure if they had come or not, but today the bot is still there. One good trick to try to eliminate who is the invisible bot and who is not is to search the region for all miners, then check who is in your map. Then, while standing near the rock they mine, use command /target "Name Surname"

    - If the person is far away and not within your range of target, the game usually returns an error saying Unable to use /target "Name Surname" on that target.
    - If the person is within your range, the game will make you target the person.
    - But for the invisible bot, it will return no error, but you won't target it. It will just fail without error.
    I attached the "suspect" name in my in-game report, telling them this person MIGHT be the bot and to please investigate.

    Also, I managed to get a screenshot of the strike animation after like 20 tries.
