Where do I go to report botting (outside of the game itself)?

So I was in East Shroud near the Sylph camp, mining wind shards and crystals. Suddenly, a bunch of generic-looking avatars instantly teleport to Dellexia, dance for her/him/it, and then teleport away. It was like 10 or more "people", and happened in less than a second. If this isn't botting, then it sure as hell is something fishy, and I would like to report it. I have hard evidence (a screenshot of randomly generated names doing the emote, logged in chat). I will not post the screenshot here (or distribute any names), because of the EULA policy to keep information spread to a minimum. However, I would like to submit to information to *somebody*, even if that means the staff.

For a NA account, outside the game you can report via: http://support.na.square-enix.com/co...382&la=1&fty=2

Bottom of that page, choose "report use of third-party software" from the dropdown. I wouldn't be surprised if they've automated the tracking of those types of bots, but either way don't expect immediate action to be taken against them.

Seems to be a lot of red tape here. I'm afraid of making a typo with all those garbage names. It's a shame that I can't just easily report all of these obvious bots, but I guess the situation is under control either way.

I'll hold on to the screenshot, though, just in case.

I wouldn't bother. honestly.

This type of bot gets banned and replaced on a regular basis even without people reporting them.

It's just a pity the bots that are actually detracting from people's enjoyment of the game like the PvP/gather bots never get banned.

Honestly reporting bots is a waste of time. Just the pvp forums when you get the chance.

It is annoying to have someone controlling a bunch of bots and SE considers sitting at the computer watching the program run as not botting. It can be demoralizing watching this day in and day out as a PS4 player. I know more than enough players that talk about where they bot, how and know nothing will ever happen to them. The only bots I even try for anymore are the FC bots. See 20/20 online all day doing the same thing with the same char. Those do seem to get shut down faster than the individual that is running a few copies of the game botting away while watching tv or what ever they do to be close enough to their PC in case they get reported to respond to the GM.

[DumdogsWorld]

I apologize. I didn't think it would be so pointless.

It really is ointless, there people botting since 1.0 and still playing, they got reported over and over but still playing. u_u
