New Trend? RMT using MAR bots

[HaelseMikiro]

I think that looks like one character, not a stack. (Unless it was more obvious in motion?)

Yes, it was more obvious in motion, I think when I used the Player Search function it was actually 4-5 level 1 MRD together.

This isn't new at all. MRDs are traditionally used as RMT spam bots due to them starting off in Limsa Lominsa. The ones hiding under the floor are free accounts, as they're only able to advertise in /say.

I see, thanks. I wasn't actually paying attention to the chat log to see if the spammer names matched up with the results from player search or not. I used to see a fair number of ARC bots farming mobs while underground and arbitrarily assumed these MRDs were a new string of farm bots as well, but I guess it'd make zero sense for them to be placed where they are if that was the case. I'd be a bit surprised if /say chat can reach the MB from that spot, unless they actually teleport under the MB long enough to spam before porting back to their safe spot.

The abbreviation is MRD.
