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

This teleport/blinking exploit I keep seeing the small armies of random-letter named bots doing... how has SE not fixed this yet?

If it's bots that are doing the quests, the fastest way to do it, is to go to the search players, search for only sprouts. The button mash bots will stick out like a sore thumb, but so will seeing a bunch of level 50 BLM's all in the same location.

Yup I do that. It's the best way honestly, but since most of the botting activity I see are gathering bots for players controlling the MB, they are the only ones I report.
