Reported these bots nothing happens!

Is it really that bad in leveling roulette? I only ever recall running into one tank bot who I swiftly kicked because it refused to take the initiative in doing anything.

PvP on the other hand is definitely swamped by them because it doesn't matter how badly they play there.

I’ve played for 3+ years and can count on one hand the number of bots that I’ve seen in actual roulette content. So I don’t think they’re a huge problem compared to crafting/gathering bots.

I noticed dual/multi boxers more than bots in roulette though. Maybe my luck is bad and I always get these kind of players when leveling up healers. Never noticed them when I was on DPS or tanks.

Do you mean people that barely moves and spam only spells or one spell?
I have seen one healer that was using only cure on my tank like a bot.

Might be more noticeable when I'm a healer since I have to watch people to make sure to keep them alive. The delayed movements and stopping a bit at certain intervals after a battle are such indicators to me. I tend to have tunnel vision when I'm on a DPS or tank though.

I've seen that. Wasn't a bot though, I told him he didn't need to spam it, that he was running out of mp and not using lucid dreaming when he should. He said "I know", and continued on.

It's not terribly uncommon for people who multibox to also use their additional accounts for botting.

I know for a fact there are several players who do that on Cactaur simply by process of association via who crafted the gear the bots are wearing and/or the FC they're in; the worst of them keeping three bots going on alt accounts almost 24/7 while playing on his main account in the day and running a MB or crafting bot at night. I'm not sure what he's even trying to accomplish because they only seem to farm DoH collectibles.

I do agree with it so much.
I cannot sell few items because bots that are selling it automatically drops prices by 1 gil and refills their sale when it goes out even at 3 o clock at night, its super annoying.
I could bet for it they are using somekind of trading bot for this kind of stuff.

I guess welcome to FFXIV.

Far as it's concerned, if you can't speak Japanese, it'll never get heard.

Okay actual likely reason is most of the gathering bots (I say MOST for a reason) are paid with actual legit money. The RMT BLM leveling bots are stolen cards so that's why they get banned eventually, since Square can't keep stolen money. But gathering bots using legit money? They make profit off of that, and likely will try to keep them around as long as possible as the other fact is, if you ban an RMT BLM bot it just comes back, but if you ban a gathering bot that uses actually legit money, they don't come back, costing the company from future money.
