Player Feedback: Gathering Bots

[Malzian]

Not going against you but rather against Square Enix not providing us the Security they should have given us since the beginning of ARR with those multiple Exploits going on...

They could, yes ... could add Protection to the Client, change Packet Behaviour in the Client and destroy Bots that Way in a much better Way, if not even detect automatical behaviour that Way.
That would also mean that the Raid Scene looses the Function to Parse if People decide to do so.... which is quite hurtful for the Raid Community.

This is quite turning into the second Bot Infested MMORPG that I played due of the same Errors.

I agree that the teleporting glitches that the bots use is a terrible exploit and somehow is still around even though it was known about in the Beta... This, however, doesn't mean that even if they remove the glitches there still won't be bots. People had bot programs that would run you around the map (including obstruction avoidance) and automatically gather by sending legitimate commands through to the client through the keyboard and mouse drivers as if someone was actually playing. It just proved more expedient to use the glitches that were found.
