Duty Finder bots?

[Platinum_Disco]

I'm leveling an alt tank and I go into a Halatali group and 2/2 times there's always an arcanist who never talks and kind of does his own thing.

The first time, I thought the person was new/not used to the game, so having a topaz carbuncle out and ignoring my pulls/CC/marks/whatever was just part of the new-ness.

Skip to the second run and the same thing with another arcanist, except this time, he pulls regardless of whether I'm there or not, and even straight up dies to pulls of 3+, releases, and then runs back to repeat the process. We even took a little break and when I got back, there was the arcanist, dying again to the next pull.

I took a look at his lodestone and it got even more mysterious.

3 month veteran membership but no pets/mounts/stuff outside of things you'd get effortlessly. a 50 lancer with no subclass to turn it into a job, and a 36 and 30 cnj and arc.

What's up with that? Are they bots? What purpose do they have if they are? if anything they just make instances more annoying as he almost wiped us on the last boss by pulling a group and then running straight to the boss (we ignored him by then, regardless of where he ran off to at times.)
