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

I like to spend some time and record them on Camtasia, then send the vids in. They come is large clumps on Mateus, then aren't seen for like a month or so ... who knows? It might be working.

Screenshot/Video Evidence is not taken by Square Enix, those can be manipulated according to them.

There's plenty they could do, but it would either break immersion, make it a pain in the butt for real players, or break how some content works.

Movement Calculation done behind the System as a Client Check.

We have this already, basically the AoEs do work like this in a sense coupled with your Characters Position.

Default Speed of a Player is 100%, if you get slowed down it is 50%, if you use Sprint it is 125% and on a Mount it is 150%. Not real Values I took off the Game, as example.
If any Player gets above this, the System will flag the Character automatically and will also be blocked for Investigation, the same goes for abnormal Teleportation around the Zones.

As this Game has fixed Movement values, it's even easier compared to MMORPGs where you really have modifiers on your Movement Speed, such as Potions, Buffs and everything else.
There is a few different things such as Ninja being faster or Peloton, tho in the end, that doesn't really add up that much.

Yeah, I do that too. I use OBS and have it on in case I run into bots while gathering which is 9/10 times. Just recently recorded a lala bot borked in Yanxia. I send them the recordings anyways regardless if they take it as evidence or not when I report it through the website.
