I think botting situation is getting out of hands. I ran into many players with good gear, have reasonable mixture of jobs/classes levels, and seem legit, yet they behave like a bot.

For example, last night I ran into this Monk with Novus who was doing FATEs and at first seemed normal. But when it got to "It's not Lupus" FATE, where there is a gigantic Megalocrab boss named Cancer, the person had bot-like behaviors.

They engaged in a battle with Cancer, and when I arrive,d I tried to Stoneskin and Regen them while I was on WHM50, without level sync. However, the person died and INSTANTLY homepoint. This is irrational, as most people do not go back to homepoint in the presence of a WHM, they usually wait for a raise, as other FATE players did during that FATE later on.

The person came back to the FATE quickly, but instead of engaging the FATE boss, they tried to kill a FATE small mobs (the red jellyfish which I can't recall name). Mind you, in this FATE, the small enemies are incredibly tough and are impossible to solo even one-on-one, and even with a battle chocobo. (The person had their battle chocobo summoned).

I ran around kiting Cancer while healing other people, yet the monk in question kept standing and fighting the same jellyfish on the beach. They did not try to run away from it even when they were dying. I ran to them and threw a Regen and said in /say This way. Please assist. (with auto-translation) but they did not respond and did not move.

Of course the person died and went to homepoint, and then returned to the scene again, still trying to fight the small monster instead of the correct FATE boss. I was like WTF =_=;;

This is highly suspicious, because normal players would learn from their mistake and adjust to the situation. Bots, on the other hand, just do whatever they are coded to and do not adjust to real situation. I can't bring myself to believe that this is just a player whose brain is slower than average players.... It really seems suspicious for botting.
