Has anyone noticed a decrease in botting activity in light of recent events?

Sadly I don't think banning bots is good enough, I think they should go after the ones programming them like activision-blizzard did to do something effective against this problem

Last I heard, it didn't actually accomplish much because the bot creators simply started distributing the program under a different name on a new website.

Preventative measures seem more effective, honestly. The only reason the gil farmers are even able to function is because of their warp hacks, so if they did something like turned all of out of bounds areas into kill zones, it would put a quick end to the problem. It honestly seems like they don't know how to stop them, though, considering that they tried to slow them down by moving the items they were farming in Amdapor Keep deeper into the dungeon (Which obviously is not going to matter when they can warp wherever the heck they want).

As far as the other bots go, they really need to give the GMs the authority to take action against them, as they seem a lot more active then the STF judging from quickly they tend to respond to queries, not to mention you can actually communicate with them to know things such as whether or not you're even giving them enough/the right information/evidence for them to properly investigate a matter..
