Idea: Make RMT spammers killable after 100 reports.

can we rather ask for active GM's in game?

Light DC is absolute bot fest and its ruining the game experience by causing major decrease in performance around the aetheryte in Limsa on Light, Alpha - mainly having the draw distance for other players' characters reduced significantly along with decreased FPS.

It's actually actively making the social aspect of the game worse.

I absolutely agree with what you are saying except....

That isn't the GM's job.

Bots, and RTM are assigned to the FOUR PERSON special forces team. Four people, in the entire world, are authorized to deal with them. GM's are not even allowed to be in the same MAP as a reported bot.

This is main issue right here.

lets face it, with the amount of effort they put in (I am guessing/hoping they do something on the Japanese servers at least) they could be replaced by 3 aloe vera plants and a tea cozy.... at least then they would be useful.

There is very limited information available what GM's actually do during their workday.
Taken from Main Menu > Support Desk > GM Service Main Menu:

Report a Real Money Trader (RMT) > "we're sorry for inconvenience. thank you." no feedback if any of our reports were heard or if they fall on deaf ears.
Report use of third party software (cheats) > "we're sorry for inconvenience. thank you. use the website because we can't do anything with it."
Report inappropriate behavior > "we're sorry for inconvenience. thank you." the stalker or harasser MIGHT get slap on wrist and 3 day suspension.
Report Violation of Agreement between players > I would love to see example of this. Do they make gil from thin air and give it to someone as compensation for scam? Any stories?
One time item restoration > one time per account meaning each time someone asks for help, another request of the same type will be denied. meaning less and less work over time.

what else?
