Teleporting and bots

[Karen_Cerfrumos]

Seen a bunch of poshacking BLM bots on Tonberry yesterday zipping around 24,21 in Central Thanalan and 27,17 in Western. Couldn't even catch their names to report since they were underground and untargetable but they did keep killing mobs I needed for hunting log. Kinda weird the engine is engineered to even allow position hacking to slip like that but eh. Annoying.

You know what would be awesome. If SE employed some GM's to run around take out bots. They would probably have access to bot radar technology and could take them out wherever they go.

What do you think? Gold plated archer? One arrow each? Thwip, Thwip...Thwip

Targeting the mob will allow you to see the name of the player attacking it. That is how i get names for my reports. Takes a while though but eventually you will get all the names of that group (each different monster they attack will target the first one that hits it, and the bots are not smart enough yet to time their attacks precisely).
