Invisible botanist or lag/graphical bug?

[fixitman]

I just spotted one in the act of doing this and reported him but not getting a response from a GM yet. This alleged bot is in the 21X27Y area of the East Shroud using the level 30 rocky outcrops to exploit wind shards.

GMs will only respond to harassment reports. They won't let you know what actions taken for any reports. I reported someone harassing me while I was crafting last night, and a GM messaged me about 20 minutes later to discuss the issue. I've reported hundreds (possibly thousands) of RMTs and bots, and only received canned responses. Those I reported are always gone within a few days, so I'm assuming my reports are helping somehow.

Everyone should report all suspicious activity with as much detail as possible, and then put it behind them. SE will weed out the bad players from the bad connections based on this information, while the reporters continue to play

they don't do anything, I always add the guys I report to my blacklist, so I can see when and if they are deleted, almst all are not deleted, but they are banned. so it seems they are gone, then in w/e amout of time it takes they come back and start again. The first RMT I reported, when I first started this game, is still on my ban list not deleted.

These guys are hurting bad... Stuff that would sell for 300+ each just a couple of days ago now sell for 1 each. They're turning crafting and gathering into a useless waste of time...

I saw this happening around 23X 23Y in Western Thanalan

The miner was stealthed the entire time, and would just teleport over to the next mining point as soon as they finished. One was above ground, the other was half inside the ground and I couldn't click on them.
