Bot or cheat have been reported but didn't get ban or take any action

Bans come in waves. They need time to properly investigate to avoid wrongful banning.

Just like any other MMO, the best you can do is to report and move on. If the person(s) is a legit botter, they will eventually be removed from game.

no excuse....they can have a couple GMs patrol the two heavily botted spots throughout the day.

That's a crock of shit. No offense intended but people would have to be really naive to believe this. My account was banned within an 8 hour period of time for RMT shouting after it was hacked. While I slept. Where was this proper investigation before I was locked out of my account? No where. I'm waiting for 12 days because they investigated NOTHING before suspending my account.

reported tons and tons of people who i believe to be cheating using teleport hacks. there is this 1 dude on the serve i play on that teleports from mob to mob in drybone from what i assume havesting aldgoat skins hes been doing this for days and has been reported along with time stamp 5 days later he's still doing it whats the point of reporting when SE dont seam to do anything about it.

Is it weird that I have actually never seen one?

I thought I did once.. But it was just an NPC.

Tons of RMT though.. But I haven't seen an actual bot on my server yet.

In 11, after months of reporting, certain bots were still there. SE fails at dealing with this. The wave bans don't work. Before the bans are done there are already new bots ready to take over, so the problem persists continuously.

There is always an excuse for them not to do quick bans, and it's getting old. Like the RMT advertisers? Why aren't they instantly dealt with? They don't do anything but shout, there is no gil to track with those or logs to be researched. A GM patrolling a zone could deal with those instantly. As for tell advertising we shouldn't even have to fill out a report, as soon as a few hundred players blist someone they can investigate a log and deal with it.

Knowing SE, don't expect this to change. People can defend SE all they want, but the fact remains that this is not working.

I understand banning in waves for RMT(the banks and buyers and such), but the spam and teleport botters shouldn't last more than an hour or two after being reported. It takes literally 2 seconds to see they're blatantly breaking the TOS.

On my server there are SWARMS of Teleport Botters in Ul'dah running the level Delivery quests in the city there and what not. They all have a string of random characters for names and I think I figured out that theres a "Root" Bot that stands in the Market place there and after all the "swarm" bots finish thier runs they all teleport to the "root" bot and trade the gil they made to it. After that is rinse and repeat.

And they teleport around the city so fast its no wonder theres so much lag on our server ( Zalera ) not to mention during Peak Times and well into the late evening to early morning we got a Server Que cause the server is so full of bots.

Seen the same sort of thing in Gridania on Lamia... Named Coco See... Reported this character several times. Nothing done about it for now more than 10 days. You'd think someone would actually look and notice that the same level 1 character has been standing in the same spot 24/7 for over a week, logged in immediately when server is back up. I'd hate to see their response being that slow incase some user has died at keyboard like with some MMOs.

Have you guys ever thought about that it is not only getting the bots who do the farming but that SE also look where the money goes too, I mean what use is it to ban the account farming the items but fail to ban the account where all the money in the end goes too?
So while for us it sucks that these don't get banned I think SE does know and will react but need to look at the bigger picture.

If you talk about game money, they will go to normal player at end. If that is your thinking, then good player will be ban at end. The thing you can farm it easy without spend gil... now you have to spend gil with expensive price to get it...
