Player Feedback: Gathering Bots

[Mwynn]

I suppose this is a Gilgamesh thing then

I was Server hopping pretty much and it's not only Gilgamesh. It's actually even common on EU Servers that you encounter the same kind, in my case the ones that do Aetherial Reduction for Months. Odin, Shiva, Cerberus are the ones I talk about.
I don't wanna imagine how it is like on Balmung but I can imagine the amount is quite even much higher then on Gilgamesh.

It's not hard to find out who is Botting if they all do the same Behaviour as walking, stacking at the same Point, walking again, doing the same stacking, this is very much scripted it seems.
Given the Fact a Bot can only do so much what they're being told speaking of Execution and Commanding, they cannot decide to drift off the same Walkpath for the slightest change.

That's the thing, if 10 Players suddenly Teleport at the same time like 15:40 Eorzean Time, end in the same Zone like they were in Churning Mists and are now in Sea of Clouds, all of these 10 Players..., it's pretty much obvious.
Now see this for 5 Times more and ya, you can tell.

Sure if you just Gather for like 2 Minutes for a Craft or two you will not notice the pattern/behaviour, yet if you do Aetherial Reduction to get Crystals and Clusters or Aethersands for your Raid Pots, then I think, if someone did not fall on their head..., they notice.

Again I think People misunderstood the Topic here. We are not talking about the RMT Bots that you see Teleporting around and Queue'ing up and doing their Teleport Hacks in Duties, no....

We talk about Real Players having a Real Name who do sometimes play with their Hands, interact with others in the Main Cities and turn on their Bot Program while they sleep or are on Work.
They do it because they're lazy (obviously) and want to make Quick Gil Ingame without a single Effort, hence we Gatherers get upset due of having grinded all those Blue Scrips / Red Scrips with our Hands which took quite some hefty time.

Some of those "Bot Players" have cleared Alexander 12 Savage and even use the Mount so while Botting!
