Sadly, video/picture evidence cannot be used when making a case, because of the fact that it can be edited. GMs have stated multiple times that they cannot accept anything other than evidence from directly inside the game with regards to any sort of report, be it for cheating/botting, harassment, or anything else reportable/bannable.

The ban wave reports give the illusion that the GMs/action team/whatever are making a meaningful effort in curbing cheaters, but the reality is that vast majority of the bans are being handed out to mass-produced RMT spammers and warp hacking gil farmers who come back faster then they can even ban them
The RMT gil bots are much easier to catch and ban, since they’re opening advertising in /say their gil-selling websites. Again, the evidence has to originate directly in-game, and cannot be video/picture evidence. So, unless the GMs start actively monitoring the suspected bots that are gathering/crafting all the time, they cannot ban them as swiftly or as easily, like they would RMT spammers.
