Raiden already has a small bot army, is it even worth reporting?

Those bots will be on the way to Eureka. As SE ban a wave there is another almost to level to take over.

Please look forward to it.

Just report imo and hope that SE takes action against some of these bots.

If the players don't do anything, the bots would be left to run rampant without fear of reprisal and it would just kill off the playerbase as players realize that botters can cheat with impunity.

I just feel like SE operates the same way garbage pickers do: once a week for bots, the other week for rmt. That's why the bots pile up and don't get banned for a long time until it's that day of the week.

That isn't terribly likely to happen in XIV because the bot presence is largely not disruptive to other players outside of controlling the marketboard and forcing scaling on the Eureka NMs.

When they do actually become a major problem, SE tends to act quickly and decisively, such as when they were invading PvP, or when their numbers swelled to such extremes that people couldn't even enter the starting zones on some of the new servers.

That said, they still shouldn't be letting people get away brazenly cheating under any circumstance.

About the problem with reporting, I recently watched a Zepla's video about it and I made a thread on the User Interface section of the Forum.

I invite you all to check it out: Ideias to Fix the Bad Report System

It is a REALLY awful system that they never have updated since the early days of the game! It's quite a shame...

We need a better reporting system to help not only the combat against bots but against weird people in general. They should consider building a new reporting system from scratch!

I do really believe nobody here knew about what Zepla shows in her video before! (I didn't). '-'
