Bots everywhere.

SE, bots don't even try to hide anymore, they long ago stopped being subtle. Is it really too much to ask that you cull them a bit when they're so very obvious? Does it really need more than one GM to take a look at popular bot locations once per day and get rid of the very obvious cases?

No pay to play game should have such a rampant and obvious botting problem, and it seems to be still getting worse rather than better.

I agree with you, please send some GMs to the Aetherytes sometimes, those are full of BLM and ARC bots.

Was doing a ACN quest just outside the Tempest gate ( I think) in La Noscea. It was down a hill and around a corner kinda hard to see from the main road. There was atleast 6 bots all Lala's hiding in the bushes. It was kinda funny, all you could see were their names. I was laughing so much I forgot to screen shot it. It was odd someone must have been watching them as they all disappeared within a few seconds of me being there.

That just means they signed up for duty and all accepted. The same happened with the bots you see on my screenshot, and they were back soon after, gone again and so on. The Lalafell Archer bots do the same.

Bots pay sub, SE doesn't care.

They ban and show us they do so it looks like they're doing everything in their power. It's just like cops: they show the big fish they catch so people believe in them. Meanwhile, things only get worse.

Still love the game <3. Just hate how they handle bots and gilbuyers.

It's obvious they aren't handling bots the way they should, but what about gilbuyers? Haven't heard much about what happens to them, yet.

Don`t know about gilbuyers according to SE rules they should be banned as well but right now it seems even the gilsellers are not being since in the last week on my servers there are so many of them just spawning they adds and even tough they are reported they are still there.
At least they are polite since in they messages they wish a merry Christmas and happy new year. ( Certainty the most polite gillsellers I ever meet in a game)

I've seen some mage types all lined up in two neat rows right outside Sastasha (while unlocking it on an alt). THey sorta twitched and then poofed into the dungeon.

Recently I've been seeing DoH bots hanging out between Bentbranch and Little Solace. Some of them were stuck at the sylph NPCs >_> Halp! Botting ones are squatting these ones village!

Years later and this is still a prominent issue.

This is perhaps simply me being out of touch, but i only ever see bots like twice or three time in me playing this game for 2 years.....
