What is weird about this is, these players are all in busy status, they are all green adventurers, they all have only company chocobo mount and they all have the same gear. All of them. The gear is even dyed the same for all of these "players". So if i summarize:

    1. they are all in busy status
    2. they have only chocobo mount
    3. they have the exact same gear

    I am not talking about 1-2 players. i have seen like 50 of these. they aren't acting "suspicious" if you look at them, like they aren't insta-teleporting or bugging, they are collecting stuff and even killing monsters etc.

    I assume they sell the materias on market board, but not sure. I found this very suspicious and reported as a possible bot activity. Not sure if SE will do anything because over the years bot problem isn't solved but if you see players like this, and if you have the time, please report or do action what you see is fit. Thank you.
    Not really suspicious, honestly you described just about anyone wanting to power level gathering.

    1. Status you say they are green adventurers but have a Busy status. I do that on my alts, that or RP status, as I hate the Sprout, and I'm too lazy to look up the chat command to remove it. I level alt characters all the time, I have 3 characters at or near 80 on many Jobs, I have like 10 alts I'm leveling for RP reasons.

    2. Lazy mount choice isn't much of an issue. I ride around on my Chocobo often, because I love her. Although when Farming I prefer the speed of the motorcycle.

    3. Leveling, so going to buy the vendor trash gear to keep the stats up while leveling, and not waste money on glams.

    Edit: As others have noted, are they pathing like a bot?

    I'm sure there are hundreds of bots out there, but I think people are too quick to assume someone is a Bot at the same time. I've been accused of being a bot, just because of how I play. It's all quite stupid really, just because someone doesn't play one character exclusively, or they use a controller so they don't chat all that often, they must be a bot. Oh my they don't glam every gear set instantly, must be a Bot, oh look they use a Chocobo, instead of one of the 30 other mounts they have, BOT I say. Hey that healer likes to heal and doesn't just DPS, BOT, vote kick. People stop being so quick to judge others. You look like an arse when you do.
