Are there any ways to disrupt a RMT bot's pattern of behavior?

[SilkaN]

While I was doing my Gladiator hunting log, I teleported to Horizon, only to see a ton of "players" moving around. So many that the town sound effects kicked in (as in a lot of random voices, stuff you are normally used from Limsa / Idyllshire).

As I looked around, I realized what was going on. 5 bots at the Aetheryte, several others doing levequests and a few more harassing the poor early MSQ Lalafell.
I witnessed a few of them teleporting away, so I proceeded to use my old trick of teleport cancelling on them (trade with someone shortly before the teleport cast is complete). Sadly, it didn't work. They'd just attempt to teleport again.

So, long story short, are there any ways to disrupt them permanently? Does anyone know of a working method?
I'm kinda curious.

there is none

and did you know, if the botter reports you for trade blocking, you can get in trouble for harrassment (amazing how the system works for the person breaking TOS)

I don't think that these website owners would use the ingame report feature while logged in as a bot to report me but yeah, I've heard about this bullshit. Sadly, ToS have to apply to every PC. Even if they are automated bots.

I like to /slap them. Doesn't work but it makes me feel better.

Not all botters are huge machine driven camps, some bots are run by solo people and they do sometimes report from what I've heard ><

It's not permanent, but when A ranks pop in ARR zones near bot teleporting spots, we'll drag the rank over to them and get a laugh until the hunt train shows up.

Unfortunately, if there were a way to disrupt them, then that could be used to harass (innocent) players.
The best you can do is take a screenshot or two since you cant type out all those names, host it on imgur, report one of them by name and link screenshot with all info.

personal I love it if they have way we killed them botters. hehe

Or have Odin appear and killed them.

I repeatedly invited one of the bots that invites people to parties. I have no idea if it had much of an effect, but it logged off after 5 minutes.

Especially the ones that bot out of Horizon tend to be easily killed. Although you can't get the ones at the aetheryte, you can easily monster kill the bots out in the field by dragging mobs over to them and letting them get eaten by AOEs.

I had fun one day pulling every monster in the watery area between Horizon and Vesper and letting the black mage bots who were leveling there take them all off me with Fire II... Instant death. >: D

Unfortunately... they're also generally set to just come back after they die, so you can only stop them for a minute or two at best. Sadness.
