Crafting and Marketboard botting

[Kes13a]

Is there any way to combat the bots in this game? I've reported them all atleast a dozen times or more. They have been doing it over 2 years. The same bots, day after day non stop flooding the market and undercut botting at all hours when they're in their apartment. Always on without fail. Always gathering, if not gathering they're in their apartment crafting and marketboard botting.

I've been told to just use the PF to sell that there's nothing that can be done.

Best of luck Nonola. many people have reported them for months and SE does nothing.

I dont think SE will notice or care about NA/EU markets and the RMT botters unless people start ditching the game because of it. by that point of course it'll be too little too late. About all I can think of is if you know streamers, get them to start doing streams on it. enough bad publicity might make SE sit up and notice. but I wouldnt hold your breath, the Special Task Force who "combat bots etc" are based in Japan, and only have 4 people. yes, thats correct... 4 people.

They aren't doing a very good job of controlling the problem even on the JP side of things so I've kinda lost hope in them ever actually doing anything substantial.

There are 3 level 80 gathering bots going 24/7 that I have been reporting since early Stormblood, so going on 3 years now. SE won't ban them. I've given up and lost hope in the reporting of bots.
