RMT and Botting Out of Control

[DSN]

It sucks for leveling a chocobo at 50 as there are about 6 spots in the world to do this efficently and all are overrun with bots soul binding gear and selling materia. Example there are like 12 water spirits @ level 50 in the entire world all in one spot and they get pulled and aoe'd down in seconds while a crafter sits there pumping out gear while they all covert it to materia III and IV over and over.

It sucks when you try to click on a node and there are 15 bots sitting on it I have to navigate around. Gathering is slow and tedious as it is adding anything extra to it exasperates the tedium.

It sucks for farming materials as all the monsters you need materials from are botted for RMT purposes.

It sucks when you run a dungeon and a bot warps to a chest and leaves group, it sucks to play with someone who starts off with "One sec settting up my healing bot"

It sucks when legitimate players are mistakenly punished for buying items off the Market Board that came from RMT players.

It sucks when all of these people have been reported and still exists and the problem is getting worse every day to the point where there was a large group of RMT botting and SE does nothing about it. They have all been reported by multiple people (more or less anyone who passed through Bentbranch Meadows). They were right outside town on the level 15 botany nodes and all named such as asdfaslhj asdfasdfhjk, they were not underground they were all running around on top of each other clear as day right outside town.
