Bot numbers have grown since Shadowbringers launch, yes. But what was going on more recently, and especially yesterday was markedly different. Far more bots visibly moving rather than insta-teleporting, and then last night multiple servers had crowds of bots immobile around the Aetherites and elsewhere. Some would get manually moved one at a time. I suspect either the botters scripts broke, or maybe(hopefully) SE finally managing some effective countermeasures
