Has anyone noticed a decrease in botting activity in light of recent events?

I did notice that there's only one RMT website spamming in Limsa lately, whereas there used be like three. I assume this is just because they gave up because of lack of business, though.

The method the remaining bots use is extremely obnoxious, though, as they'll spam the shout chat begging for a NN invite in the most terrible English imaginable when they first arrive in Limsa and if they do get invited, then they'll start RMT spamming the NN until somebody kicks them on top of spamming in shout. The worse thing is that despite the limited number of mentors, nobody seems to ever pick up on their habit and keeps inviting them. I feel like some people are probably doing it on purpose at this point, as I've seen them get invited well after they've already started RMT spamming in shout chat.

Those bots are always standing outside the Limsa Lominsa Lift attendant.

Oh, and here's an example of what they do.
