Fleece no longer an option

That would be ideal, sadly it will not work. Someone will buy 99 pieces for 50,000 gil and some will go to a RMT and buy the gil for the fleece.

What they need are more GMs to patrol the area. Four days after a report with the same bots is not good.

When I was a GM for EQ2, we were invisible near the heavy botted areas. Once we saw a bot we took the necessary steps to ensure they were a bot (in FFXIV..its a no brainer with their teleport macro). Once the bot was validated, we would transport them to our EQ2 Island Dungeon were they could not leave. Then we would do the paperwork to ban BOTH their account AND their credit card.

You can tell that FFXIV suffers from a GM to Server population ratio. FFXIV is sorely in need of GMs rather badly. They don't understand the amount of time can be cut in half if a GM was present.

I would even suggest that they entertain the idea of volunteer GMs (as they have in EQ2 and EVE and some others). This way they will have more manpower to observe these things.
