Lack of action against gathering bots, it needs to be changed, and soon

[KageTokage]

I honestly think the gather bots in WoW are less of a problem then they are here simply because while they can be created more quickly you can actually get them banned if you report them.

The number of bots in XIV has just been swelling as time goes on and the usual suspects from as far back as HW on my server are still around but have been joined by several new faces at this point.

WoW put its clamps on the gathering bots all the way back in Wrath (although they looked into player-driven reports as early as BC), and was much better for doing so. WoW's big bot-related sin was being late in stemming the tide of the more sophisticated PVP-related bots, but at least they recognized that it was a problem and were committed to ridding the community of cheaters, developing their own automated measures over time alongside personally looking into reports when such a solution was not available.
