How bad are gilfarmer/botters on your server?

Gil sellers are brazen on Hyperion, bots too, but botters don't try to distract the players. I get 3 to 5 tells per hour

I think Gil sellers are so rampant on Hyperion because GMs have conditioned players there to not communicate with them. If you have a problem on Hyperion, contacting a GM 99% does nothing. GMs do not communicate back or fix anything. The 1 time I did get a message from a GM, I got mail saying I was not ingame for them to talk to me. The message was mailed at 3AM on a Monday.

Really? This is awful... I also did a in game report on a bunch of farmer/botters in the South Shroud example, I just don't know why more isn't done about these people who blatantly farm and bot in the open world, ESPECIALLY when their using obvious botting names and all wearing the same gear.

When you enter a zone on Hyperion, there is often a pack of 5 to 20 RMT bots just standing at the zone-in in the same gear; same bots standing there for weeks or months, messaging people relentlessly. Either Hyperion GMs are very inactive or they are undermanned.

I get occasional RMT tells, but not much else. I don't think I've ever spotted a botter, though I may just be blind.

Adamantoise is one of the smaller NA servers, so it's not terribly a surprise.

My blacklist is full! I mean all of them are gilsellers - 200/200, and when i get another that normaly tries to whisper me more times, I have to take off one of the blacklist before I can black list.

On the other side I have seen a group of i think elzen bots whms once, and few times in little alamigho a group of lalaBLMs (all just standing and all in the same gear)

Ragnarok seems to be a nice place lately. I get a few GIL sellers shouts but that's it. I sometimes see a few characters mining where I am unsure whether they are bots or not but that's it. I do not see bots camping Urth's Gift or hunting for Fleece 24/7 anymore. They used to be there for a long time but it is no longer like this. When I compare the situation we now have with what it was like when I started the Game, I see a lot of improvements.

We have several on midgard that use the same spot in Urth's gift. I stopped reporting them. Nothing ever happens.

It's actually way easy to find bots on Atomos server, just do a blank player search for everyone running the EN client. The list is FULL of bots. WTH are they even doing there? The EN community on Atomos is tiny. No one cares to buy from them!

[Vailius]

In Sargatanas, I saw a bunch of Hyurs standing at the Atheryte plaza in Ul'dah and all they do is enter a queue and exit fast of it, and repeat. And they are often AFK all together there too.

and now they also group up at that cave in Coerthas to spiritbond gear 'peacefully', not to mention one of their members is a goldsmith that crafts them stuff inbetween their SBing hanging out at that spot.

That is why I run around on /busy almost 24/7. I got sick of the spam tells. Now I don't worry about it at all. I will state this again the bots are not the problem its the people buying the gil that are the problem. They need to go on mass banning of gil buyers. No clients = No business.
