Besides the Gil Sellers... there is also BOTS

Uhh no you can't heal enemies at all. It'd be a stupid for it to be allowed and it has too much griefing potential.

yea true, didn't think about that one. Well then trade lock it is.

I've seen a couple types of bots that are especially annoying:
1. Blm spiritbonding bot that scathe claims a plasmid and spams bliz 3
(Mildly annoying)
2. Turn 4 bot that does nothing but summons and dismisses EOS on a 10 sec loop lots on all loot and leaves 200 secs after chests are opened.
(Much more annoying because turn 4 makes it really hard to try to kick the bot because you can't kick for 5 min once an instance starts, can't kick during active combat, and can't kick once chests are opened and loot is hot.)

I've managed to kill a few of these types of bots. So long as it isn't in a /busy status, and isn't among a crowd of similar bots. Once the bot agros something, I send a trade invite. The bots don't seem to be able to handle trade invites, as they just stop all actions until they are dead, or the trade gets canceled.

The bot's chocobo tried its very best to kill those plasmoids, but tend to accidentally agro a second one thanks to the cone aoe attack. With a mournful "kweh" the chocobo vanishes.

The bot is then pummeled to death.

Trade locks seem to honestly be the best(and most entertaining) way to screw bots over lol. Ive trade. Locked a few. Bots who were mid quest getting ready to teleport to limsa (it was the same point in the quest my alt was on) and I trade locked them causing a few of them to be stuck standing around and for a few hours lol

I think it very much depends on the botting software, I remember perhaps a year or so ago, we could trade-lock bots, but then the bots became wise to the trick and started automatically refusing trades, or otherwise avoiding them. I'm surprised and pleased to hear it's still a successful tactic.

Sadly, its not a successful tactic anymore. Most bot programs have a thing where if their HP gets too low they force log out and log back in and continue what they were doing. I've tried killing tons of bots I find on Balmung and they are like cockroaches they just wont die and they multiply! lol
