PvP botters are ruining PvP Frontline ...

These bots bite! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kb92WtJ0NY

It happens in all MMOs if devs ignore the problem long enough. Take a look like how much more massive it was in World of Warcraft:

Then boom, 100k PvP botters bans.
But this will never happen in FFXIV, they can't detect even gathering bots who are still there gathering 24/7 after 3 years of reporting.

I stopped playing it as much after the XP nerf. It's not because I would possibly get less XP (as I only ever went on my level 70 anyway), but because I saw the possibility that people would leave and a lot that were left would be people who afk/auto-follow/bot etc... Now when I go on for the daily bonus I always end up seeing people afk/botting etc.

Early mornings are the worst. I've seen a load just sitting there all together. This was not as big a problem pre-xp nerf, and I think that's in large part as you still had people playing it who tried, but were there also for the exp. I'm certainly not going to put in the time past the daily bonus while the problem is this bad.

*Ahem* that have already been repeated over and over that the moment they added a system that reward people for just being present, it was only a matter of time before it skyrockets. Scipters were already selling their shits before. Just because SE is now pro of making look PvP like it's not worth playing it and ff being ridiculously bot friendly, it's enough for people to legitimately think they can bot in frontlines.

Cheaters aren't being punished in PvP, everyone that have been PvPing a lot before know that. Rare cases it happened, it was a few day ban

I like those that log off the first 5 minutes in frontlines because you cant kick anyone the firsg 5 minutes and suddenly go back when match almost done. Idk if it is server problems or ppl doing on purpose

I can almost guarantee at least half of them are doing it on purpose if not automated. Far too many just drop off at the same exact moment. That said far too many legit 90k's still happen to bother looking for the fakes ones to report.

This video was just posted on FFXIV's Reddit, So this is what Frontline has become

I've seen some of the players shown sitting around in the group here in multiple matches. Nice to confirm they're botting so I can report them in the future.

I've submitted several reports with zero replies from GMs. Still see the same players botting in Shatter everyday.

Best part of it all is that all of these players get PvP achievements. Talk about a super deal - get good exp, good currencies, nice mounts, light farm, maybe a title if the bot performs well and best of all, no punishment.

I really don't understand what it takes to get them to pay attention to bots if even ones that are actively disruptive are seemingly being ignored.

I've honestly considered just using the 'Report RMT activity" command on all bots in general, because it seems like the only thing that actually works.

Yeah, I thought so, but it can only back fire to you that way. I think they don't have to bother much with the quick report for RMT because they get the part of the chat that proves an actual RMT activities. IMO, that's the same reason it works for people geting reported for insults/showing parse, but as long as there's no actual tracks in chat logs, they don't even bother.

Just did a Shatter and had 3 party members doing this. I wasn't sure that this was a thing until I checked this thread to confirm the symptoms, but from here on I will be watching and reporting for strange activity. This is a game ruiner, especially for those who keep track of wins and losses.
