Botting his way to mining

[Toranja]

So, I was mining near Ul'dah this morning and I returned to the same spot by the evening. I was mining my own business, when I notice the exact same player is back too. Or, better put, still there. I followed him around and I noticed he was always making the same set of actions and path.

This player was mining with the Miner's L55 main and off hand equipment and the rest was just in bikini. I sent him a tell in the morning but he didn't reply. Sent him another telling him I would report him if he did not reply. Not surprised that he didn't.

But, really, how does one expect not to be noticed with a bikini and a botting 24/7?

Naming is a bannable offence. We hate player bots just report them.

Removed the name.

Probably because its hard to prove in any MMO unless they're blatantly cheating, like teleporting or such. I myself will farm shards legitimately for sometimes a few hours and wearing my bikini to keep repair costs low. Hard to tell the difference unless you catch someone doing it for 12+ hours straight or moving like a robot; then you got to convince a moderator of you've seen. It's frustrating for sure.

Been trying to convince them since launch. Every weekend I see the same trash doing his thing. Lol.

I see what ya did there.

More to the point, all you can do is report them, move on, and hope they get banned in the future. :/

You cant report people cause they don't want to talk to you. I ignore people all the time when I am gathering or w/e cause I don't want to be bothered.

so not wanting to put wear on high level gear and being able to run nearly identicle paths and not wishing to get off their ass to reply to you is botting?
also how do you know they were there when you werent?

Here they come the botters white knights.

All I got to say is this guy is still there in that same spot after a week of reporting on balmung. Reported everyday and been reported by multiple people too. I mean I know they can't get them immediately but really? Over a week of more than one person reporting them everyday and not one mod can come out and be bothered to watch him?
