Reported these bots nothing happens!

It’s not about being PC — these forums have a very strict name-and-shame policy. Naming the characters here will not get them reported more often or get them banned; it will only result in you getting a ban (temporary or permanent) from the official forums. Nothing more, nothing less.

Not naming and shaming on the OF is in the forum’s ToS. Again, that doesn’t make it “PC”—PC means “politically correct”. I’m giving you the definition here because you seem to be conflating “being PC” with “following the rules”. Asking you to abide by forum guidelines of “don’t name and shame other players” is not being politically correct. It’s asking you to follow the rules of the forum.

I know what it means assuming people don't and failing to understand my point doesn't make you right... have fun correcting people on forums today and probably most days sounds like your thing.

gladly delete the post can they get banned? its just these two sorry if im not up to date on trends for being pc

Hopefully they will get banned, but the issue about naming anyone in threads like these isn't a matter of being PC or not; it falls under the harassment policy of the forum ToS. The mods are usually pretty draconian about this sort of thing and if anyone reports the post, they'll nuke it very quickly and you'll be the one who get's in trouble, not the bots. Which is the height of injustice, I know, but still how the forum rules are set up.

By all means, keep the post up, but delete the names and edit them out of the screenshot. It's not worth you getting a temp ban while the bots get off scot free.

First off how do you know these people are even bots? As far as I know nodes are on specific timers and appear in a rotation. It's not uncommon to see everyone gather when the node is scheduled to pop.

Secondly we do not name and shame here. I recommend you edit this post to black out names and remove them text wise.

Thirdly is this really what you're gonna complain about? People moving in on your turf gil wise? These aren't the flood of malicious gil bots that we have to deal with on a daily basis.

they been on 24/7 for months

My screenshot, but the "bots" have been reported by I don't know how many people on Brynhildr and nothing happens to them. We all know who their retainers are, they flood the market with 99 stacks of all the end game gathering materials. They only have yellow script gear equipped, undyed,unglammed. They always have status set to busy so you cant message them. Its sad, for 2 months these accounts have been going 24/7. You can sit at any profitable SB node before it pops and watch them both come like clock work.

It's nearly meaningless to be a gatherer on our server because of them.

Gathering should be harder to execute in my opinion so no bots will be able to make it freely.
