I just dont get why the server lets em do this? is some "if Z Axis is below x meter, kill player" check really that hard?

Pretty sure the Z axis didn't actually exist in a lot of ARR zones until recently. Kind of hard to implement a check for a variable that isn't in the game in the first place.

That being said, WoW can and will automatically disconnect you for existing under the map. I found out because I found a literal square hole in the ground in the spooky BFA version of Vale of Eternal Blossoms a couple years back. Flew right in there while mounted thinking "wow blizzard's QA team must suck if they left this thing in, let's go exploring", and immediately got sent to the login screen.

Nowadays... yeah. SE needs to step it up.

Yesterday I saw a column on Lalafell's go underground at mother Miounne's reception desk in Gridania. It was funny because I stood right behind one in first person and locked onto them, and the arrow showed they went quite far down then teleported (though I guess that building has 2 floors). WoW sounds like they have the right idea in disallowing players under the terrain, and from what I've seen of the maps in FFXIV, they are well made/air tight, I've never found anywhere glitchy or holes in terrain.

The amount of these bots is honestly ridiculous, it seems SE have no countermeasure. Maybe as some suggested SE make some money from bot subscriptions and don't really want them to go way.
