As well as coming across random groups from time to time, while I was doing one of my white mage quests there was a bot that just kept warping in and out of there literally on top of Raya-O the whole time I was interacting with her - which just seems rude on top of clearly cheating.
The idea is...

The farming bots, and the spam bots, are not important at all in the grand scheme.
They're disposable to the RMT companies, and easily replaced.


What you really want to do is catch their higher up accounts.
The ones holding all the farmed money.

Wipe out their stock and that really sets them back, kill off their farming bots, or the spam bots and it does nothing to them.
