Is SE doing anything about these FATE botters?

What the heck are fate botters?

There are alot of people using FATE botting apps to help them train up their char. Head to northern thanalan. Most of the people with chocobos are botters.

They all follow a directed path towards the FATE, one easy way to see the botters is with a FATE where you have to protect the NPC. They will all crowd behind the NPC.
(I know this is not enough evidence to tell they are botting, but if you look long enough it becomes clearer)

Oh damn I must be a botter, since I'm leveling my chocobo while I lvl myself.....

In all seriousness you can literally tell who's botting or not.
Look @ the players , they pretty much look like mindless drones, stopping on a dime at the same location etc etc. Not fast pacing to other fates etc.
It's hard to ''spot'' them because their are players doing actual fate grinding there but they are the ones doing the normal fate grinding stuff

..Leaving fates early
...Figiting their characters a bit while waiting
...chatting
...repairing
....etc etc

It was weird seeing people in my own FC not logging off for hrs at a time and seeing their char. at 60 and shit and now im just pure disgusted with it.
I love FFXIV but this is just dumb imo , even if I wasn't a ps4 user I wouldn't utilize this....

Tbh... I took it easy and did like 2-3 levels at night while doing zone quests, story quests and my roulette. It only slowed down at 57 to 59. That took me two-three days taking it easy, but 59-60 wasn't even three hours of work. I have to say I played like 2-4 hours, but mostly it was less than three hours. Alts will most likely take longer, though... I haven't tried leveling another class yet.
