Theres plenty more on the list.

I have seen them teleport around and glitch out and moving in groups, theres so many it makes me feel like I am playing a F2P MMO.

It never used to be like this.

I don't know. I've seen bots like that for years.

Recently, a lot less, but thats because im on Gilgamesh.

It has actually always been like this, at least on some servers. They will stand at Northern Thanalan in groups of 4 and teleport away in parties. SE are aware though, the best thing you can do is report them, although they definitely need an easier report system for the amount of bots there currently is.

I think we'll get that in 3.4

Well what i have seen in Cerberus server most bots uses Black mage to farm stuff from duty finder (I have seen many bot groups that are afk in same place disappearing and appearing every 5-20 min) and last week i saw was it group of 5-7 Black Mage bots with no-clip hack (I saw them inside the ground killing enemies) and speed hack.

Jeez, no wonder why queue time are so long if they are full of DPs bots oO

archer is the best class to farm item drops from enemies.

I checked and the popularity is:

Arch, THM, to a much lesser degree PUG.

In one pic here you can see the demographics of new characters 1-5. 80% are bots! shocking. http://imgur.com/a/gorgG

Funny I am seeing the same on Tonberry. LV35-45 BLMs in duty finder with keymash names.

That was just one section.

So the list was 200, about 170 were bots. It was a search for new players.


Its dumb a sub based MMO cant do checking for cheating like this, I just watched one teleport to each enemy farming.

Pretty much the same for every MMO out there, subscription based or not. They are all plagued with it, and when the company patches the game to stop it, they find a new way. Ban them? They just get more accounts (either buy them or steal them).
