So how do you report bots in this game?

While this is posted on a brand new character I am far from a new player, but since my old characters no longer exist I can't post on something higher or in some more appropriate forum here.

It's sad that after 3 years this game seems to be as bot-infested as ever.

Right now I'm in The Honey Yard and there are FOUR bots, all archers level 13/14 all entirely invisible below ground farming the birds and slugs in the area. While they can't be seen they can be targeted by clicking the mob they're attacking and then selecting the mob's target.

Having Marked them I have screen shots where it's clear they're below ground. Yet there doesn't seem to be any easy way to report any of them.

Coming from games such as WOW where there's a simple right-click/Report method, I see nothing comparable in XIV.

System > Customer service > report cheating

Ah, okay, I have to admit I didn't think to look under CS for something like that, having been used to report options linked to a character's icon or chat-log name, but I see that's the place, though no way to submit screenshots.

Cheers.

I'm surprised that after all this time botting is still so easy and such gross things such as below-ground movement is still possible .. considering the plague of below-ground farming bots the game was infested with when V2 launched.

Yes, that works. You may also find this page faster:

I understand they're also working on adding that context menu option we all expect.

Oh thank gods finally. Hopefully we won't see the same bots spamming for days on end too...
