And erratic movements do not constitute a bot. More than likely they, or you, were lagging at those points. Think about it. The in-game NPCs that fight with you. They are bots. That chocobo that sits by your side. He/she is a bot too. The thing is, that with the majority of crafting and gathering actions, is that they can't be interrupted, and don't cause that "jerky" movement you see. Latency and the recent DDoS attacks have much more to do with that. I've seen friends disappear out of sight, even their name, only to return when they engage in battle.. Come to find out that this behavior was caused by a memory leak present with this game on all AMD graphics cards.. I would often see myself disappear only able to see my gear floating about in mid-air. Most everything that you describe as erratic movements can be linked with documented problems with the game or the hardware it runs on.
