Too many bots, too few bans: The Shadowbringers edition.

[KageTokage]

I am not a bot and you described exactly how I play? It's the most effective and efficient? Why would I do gradual turns while flying when you can straight shot a to b? Why wouldn't I mount up and immediately take off? Also if you attempted to ask me if I am a bot I would ignore you.

I feel like I need make a video recording of how the FATE bots behave because the way they move is far too consistent to be attributed to "normal" gameplay and perhaps not something that can adequately described with words. You can argue that your methods are just the most effective/efficient, but any actual human being is going to exhibit some deviation in their movement patterns and timing of their actions. The bots do not. When they dodge AoEs, they literally always move in the exact same direction/angle. When they move between targets, it's always in a perfectly straight line.

Another thing is that there's frequently multiple bots in the same zone, and when you notice that they keep aligning on the exact same path whenever they're traveling between nodes/FATEs it starts become a little bit of a stretch to not think something is up with that.

I don't ever actually bother asking if someone is botting (Specifically because I know people generally won't respond to that), but when I notice the players in question literally never log off (A lot of these players are mentors in Novice Network and thus can be easily monitored) and suspiciously only ever seem to FATE grind in the dead hours of the night/morning it really doesn't help their case.
