Is this a bot and how do I report bots?

[Snugglebutt]

People saying banning bots doesn't solve it or SE don't ban bots I do not believe SE does not ban them but there does seem to be variation on how fast some bots get banned vs others which have been reported and that might be down to individual members of the support team who do the banning's not all putting in same level of devotion to the problem as others but I do not believe none at SE's bot banning team is banning bots. On the other matter of whether or not does any good, even if does not solve things long term it's better to do something than do nothing so I will continue to report bots as they significantly damage the enjoyment of my crafting/gathering classes and damage the economy both in terms of flooding the marketplace and heavily underpricing/undervaluing peoples hard work spent creating the items and gathering the materials the right way.

They nerfed spiritbonding in dungeons so a lot of people are doing it in open world now.
Having to compete with 4 bots for kills in my favourite place to do this (ET) is extremely irritating. I know I can go elsewhere but that's not the point. To have one section of a map owned by bots that I've reported daily for 2 months and longer is just pathetic.

SBing is not nerfed, it's just narrowed range. If you're in the right range for the gear you're using the SB rate is actually -increased- dramatically. Case in point: I took a new HQ cashmere BLM hat (no materia or SB boosting ring/potion) into an expert roulette, came out with 17% spiritbond from just that one run.
