Diremite web

Yep, same on Siren. I've reported the teleporters, I've reported the "loiterers" who stand in one spot for hours upon hours on end, and instantly detect and kill things, then run back to the EXACT same spot EVERY single time without fail...

It's pointless. FFXIV lost the war against the botters weeks ago and they've utterly ruined the economy.

Teleporters are one thing, but honestly...I've spent hours collecting diremite webs and sinew for my leatherworking and weaver. It doesn't take long before you memorize their spawn location and approximate spawn timing, then just spam "tab" and and instant attack. Not everyone harvesting for hours is a bot. Some one tried calling me out one night in the shout channel where I promptly called him an asshat between kills. There's worse competition for fleece at t his point.

Real people do not move back to the EXACT same spot after engaging a mob with perfect precision 100s of times. They don't run smack into terrain and then jump jump jump to mash their way around it, the way I *know* that scripts act to get around obstacles (because I've seen the programs). They also get logged out if they go afk, and don't just stand there for *literally* hours idle, because something went wrong with their script but its still "mashing buttons" and thus keeping them logged in.

It's VERY VERY easy to tell when someone is using a script to run a route or auto-engage mobs. You may have gotten called out by someone sloppy, but these bots are definitively bots.
