Attention devs: Game Surveillance Unit re: open world Bots.

Did some digging around today (was bored) took note of all the level 50 thm names on moogle queing for dungeons constantly.

Managed to find 44 of them although couldn't actually find them ingame - no idea where they're queuing from in Uldah, used to see some by the aetheryrte though. I checked each one on lodestone and surprise! all wearing spirit bonding gear.

Then managed to find other bots from different servers with bot free companies 209 IN TOTAL so thats 253 bots i've managed to find in a couple of hours. Whats the best way to report them? I have a word doc ready. ¬_¬

Jeez. I never even tried to search. I befriended one of the ones I've reported and she is constantly in Wanderer's Palace. I had off yesterday, so I was logged in/playing all day. This bot was botting from AT LEAST 10am EST on Tuesday to 4am EST early Wednesday morning. Since she and her group were already there when I logged in, and were there when I logged off, I can only guess that they are botting 24 hours. I don't know if this is a fluke day, or if this is just how they operate. It's really insulting too considering they're right in the middle of the plaza. I feel like I'm being laughed at and flipped off, and SE is just laughing right along with them.

EDIT: And you know what? SE should care bc it makes them look stupid and incompetent at their jobs. Any good businessman knows rep is as good as money.

You can make a report in game, but you'll have to hand-type all the names into the report. It's really a pain in the ass. Also you can report via the Lodestone. I would also encourage you to post any screenshots here if you can, but you have to block out the names. As for what good any of that will do? ?????? No one knows.
