FC Housing Squatters/Bots?

I have seen these lala's and yes they are bots. Ran into one in the black shroud the other day. was a lala botanist and they were position hacking to every tree.

I'm pretty sure its one "legit" player with a bunch of bot alt FC's he uses to make gil.
If you look at one of those FCs you'll see a name that doesn't look like the rest. That's his main, I haven't reported it cause I don't feel like anything would really be done.

It might be worth reporting, if SE checks and finds links to botting going on for the account owner who could have used same credit card details across multiple alt botting accounts or a bot alt being caught on same account as main then SE could potentially ban the account and release the houses from the banned players account(s). SE could probably also check financial history of the characters to track where the gil came from to a certain degree and possibly result in few less cheaters in the game combined with few more plots becoming available again. It is possible SE might find nothing to validate RMT/botting on the account but worth reporting just in case.

I was gathering a couple weeks ago and saw a character with Grandmaster of the Land title, clearly botting on miner. I reported, and that person appears to have been absent from the game since less than 24 hours later.
