    There is nothing to be done from a player point of view other than reporting those that break ToS. SE is doing what they can. This has been an issue in these type of games for over a decade. They (RMT) will not go anywhere so long as there are people willing to use their services.

    There is actually a lot more SE could be doing, but basic point well taken. The real bad guys are cheating players who are gil buyers.

    The generation of random numbers is too important to be left to chance.

    I was queueing up for a duty with a few friends when I was near Cutter's Cry and saw about 10+ bots underground killing the enemies there. However, the enemies could still attack them, so I would initiate a trade to get them to stop performing any actions, they would die, teleport away, get raised at some point, then go back to... whatever they're doing.

    There's so many bots, it feels like a pain to report them all, especially on PS4.

    I don't mean to criticise your knowledge on the topic, but could you elaborate on what more SE could be doing? And explain why they wouldn't do more than what they are currently doing? From what I understand they do these ban waves and not singular remove of those that break ToS in this way. Also I imagine they have a process they follow to help ensure no legitimate players are caught in the process. Not to say that those doing wrong escape and those that do no wrong get false positives, but less so if they rushed the process.

    I will say there could be easier tools at a players disposal to report these activities... lift the cap on blist... other than that I don't see the need to do anything else then what they are doing.
