I was watching a bot camping mobs early this morning while I was gathering in the area. It looked like a normal L50 player and FC member with its chocobo left botting overnight. I was thinking it can't be hard for SE to detect bots automatically (battling mobs while AFK, etc.), but they may have a dilemma if it's a normal (paying) player and may not be bothering anyone. If enough people complained then they might do something, but if people don't see a response to their reports then they will give up complaining and SE will never know for sure how people feel about it. FFXIV might get a reputation as a bot fest and serious players would be put off. How about detecting bots automatically and sending warnings to them immediately? How about preventing them from gaining XP or loot while doing it?
