PvP Botting

[deezss]

PvP botting. The number of bots steadily has been growing day by day. Please take time out to report these bots. Primarily the bots have been in tank classes, but I have seen a few botters in other classes as well. They ruin the experience for everyone.

Depends on your server cluster probably. In my grouping we have 2 that have lately been queuing up as healer every time. The one was a bard for a while but I guess he felt like he wasn't detrimental enough to the team he just had to make it worse.

I've seen this a ton with healers. How do you report someone?

I did it in-game, but they also said to report it to this site:

http://support.na.square-enix.com

from there, go to FFXIV > Report Bugs or Offending Players

I think everyone has been reporting them..but it kinda seems useless at this point. When shits so obvious the other teams tank is floating above you in your base before the match starts..its like really?

Yeah.. this. Been seeing the same bot ( 2 healers, and 2 tanks I usually see in Primal datacenter). I'v just given up...Been reporting them since a while back and they're STILL there. Thank you SE, for not doing shit.

I just started doing PvP as a whm and let me tell you it ain't fun. I get creamed before I can cast a single spell. PvP is still very unbalanced to say the least. But removing botters is important too so maybe someone could enlighten me what to look for to spot a bot? I'll report them right away. Oh and you guys know that SE take these "disciplinary actions" in spurts. They don't ban players one at a time. They get rid of thousands of ppl at the same time. So I bet that after the next SE mop-up they'll have removed the bots you've reported.

Why isn't SE doing anything about bots?

You'd think they'd multi-box. Faster queues. Faster losses. And, no one would complain. Perhaps we should just pool our money together and get these botters more accounts, so long as they roll in a full party.

Botters are pretty easy to spot.

They stay in the base and blow all of their cooldowns/buffs. They'll do stuff, provided an enemy is within range. They just won't do it well.

One of them on our data center is called Comfort Luvbunny or something like that. I've only ever seen them on the other team, though, as it plays a healing class these days. It used to be a bard though.
