All of Marilith's Sprouts are bots

[Raoabolic]

a lot of those "paid" game keys get charged back due to them being stolen credit cards. its exactly why they changed their mogstation gifting system.

True, but it's tossing a giant net into a school of fish. You don't need the entire school, just enough to justify the net~!

Which achieves nothing since the source remains. So yes, they do indeed ignore the issue.

Then nuke all the servers. Cancelling FFXIV will solve the botting issue c:

Face it, bots are the cockroaches of the online world. No matter how much effort you put into getting rid of them, more always come. Its a never ending battle.

just remove the games from pc, and everything will be resolved

Very true. As long as players buy gil from RMT, bots will never cease to exist. SE can ban them all day. If people are making money by creating bots there was always be more.

easiest way to solve this would be to simply automate the RMT reports if the sprout is a trial user. if more than 5 people report them for RMT advertising and they're a trial sprout who hasn't completed their first dungeon (sash) then the game should just automatically "mute" them for 24 hours and disallow them from using any chat outside of instances.

Do they ignore this issue universally, or do they not care about the NA servers they just put up? lol

They ignore them universally.

All servers and all regions have the same lala-bard-bots.

I have a sprout character on Marilith and I am not a bot. No not ALL sprouts are bots.

Just people being over dramatic about bots as always. The other day it was "these bots make me lag" now it's "all sprouts are bots". Both statements that have minimal research done and are likely wrong.
As others have said, there are always going to be bots as long as people buy their stuff.

The problem is that the average player is dumb at spotting bots.

I have been called a bot several times simply because I was mining for several hours in the same area. A low level area. (identified a gap in the market)

Two people called me a bot who was ruining the game.
