I used to report the bots farming wind crystals/shards at the gathering points in the Central Shroud near the zone to the South Shroud every day for weeks until I finally gave up. 1 year later and they're still there with a couple of new friends. I only see SE eventually banning the bots that teleport between node and hide underground.

Bots on Phoenix weren't that bad for a while, but recently their prevalence has shot up. I went to farm Snurble tufts the other day and they had botting parties at almost every single Golden Fleece spawn point.

All the locations with easy enemies to spiritbond/chocolevel are now constantly occupied by a bot. This is preventing actual real players from using these spots to farm/spiritbond.
