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

We've had no response whatsoever. Like I stated, I've reported the Balmung N.Shroud brand of scum when they were in S.Shroud, outside of Amdapor Keep. Not a single thing has been done to them since, so although we joke about them being some form of economy balancer for SE, I'm seriously starting to believe they do belong to an employee. There is literally no other feasible explanation.

The excuse of SE ignoring them due to loss of sub fees doesn't hold up. They clearly do more harm than good to the economy and are directly responsible for more RMT; the kind that solicits the spam tells. How can it be so obvious to us but not the actual developers really does astound me.

I've reported bots a few of times... one bot multiple times... What I really need is a bot that will report the bots.

And then get banned for notifying the GMs too much.

The thing is, they mess up the in game economy... in the real world, those bot subs are filling SE's coffers just like yours and mine do.

Somehow, I doubt SE cares what happens to the in game economy, esp with how little action they ever seem to take against RMT's and bots, despite their claims of "Actions Taken Against In-Game RMT & Other Illicit Activities" which could very well be a load of Moogle poop and just PR lies to make it sound good.

No way to prove it either way though, and they know it.
