Square-Enix, please, do something about the bots

[miraidensetsu]

Title.

Because when I ever login on a big city I see them in mass. They were ether advertising or causing lags stacking 50 of them underground. And report them via [Report]>[Report RMT activity] feels like drying ice. That effort feels futile.

And I noticed that:

• The game don't use a check-in solution to check if it have any process messing with FFXIV's packets;
• The banwaves are not getting the situation any better;
• The bots are freely using some hacks and not really permabanned (they just create another account)
• The RMT clients aren't being banned, just the mules;
• Every bot that advertises RMT are from a few sites. I can count in a single hand how much. And they can be taken down via law measures, such as heavy fines, pressure on ICANN to take down the domain (the sites uses a .com domain), pressure on their ISP to take down the site to starve out their services

Also, the bots are known on other games for causing lag, since a single botter can have hundreds of simultaneous connections while a regular player just make one connection. Maybe botters are the cause of the DDoS?

If required, I can help S-E with anything I can. Even with the IT part, since I am an experienced IT professional (programmer, tbe) or I sacrifice a virgin Miqo'te to some vulcan god or I can even try to summon some primal on the Limsa Lominsa Aetherite Plaza.

But, please, do something about those damned bots.
