Botters

[TheVedis]

Any tips on how to find evidences? only evidence i got so far is crafter not responding to tells and some of them admited using 3rd party programs

there are a couple farm bots, one in specific named "the desperado" that we caught on besaid(the one that was in my shell), he has a nice youtube video of him up doing it
he was even actualy at his comp when they started recording him, and then he used it anyway

the guy who did it was running ahead of him trying to take all the mobs before he got to them
so hed auto run into the mobs, and continue to do so even after they were claimed til they died, then hed course correct and try to find the next mob
the guy who was recording it stayed ahead of him, did it again

it went on for hours apperently, the bot barely got any mnobs, he kept auto running into mobs that were claimed, and continued to do so each time til they were dead, was rather funny

The little mobs of Lalafell with similar names are getting annoying as well. There is a group in Limsa Lominsa on the Mysidia server, all around Bango Zango on the top level, who are bots. They rarely move, all are wearing r1 ALC starter gear, and do nothing but grind lightning shards. They have been doing it so long they are all r21+.

Botting is a problem. All forms of it. I know there is a lot of different opinions on the matter. I am not really worried about the whole thing, i just want to know one thing.

PLEASE Square-Enix, all i want to know is if YOU know who is botting. just a simple "yes Kaiser, we know" would be the most perfect thing and restore A LOT of faith and hope in the game for me.
