Novice Network Bot Issues

[Hash_Browns]

Currently wondering if the NN has always been like this..

I'm on Siren, and currently a good chunk of the sprouts in the NN are clearly bots. Someone seems to keep inviting them into the NN, and they join for some reason. You can clearly tell they are bots. They have gibberish names, all of them are level 50 BLMs, and all of them are in Amdapor Keep. You can also clearly tell they were invited one after another because the NN lists players in the order they were invited to the NN.

I sent out a ticket, but currently - I am unsure what to do besides leave them. The NN isn't full, but they are still taking up about 20 spaces. (That would make around 1/6th of the players in the NN bots.)

Kicking would send out a report, and I can not 100% confirm they are bots. (Even if they are all level 50 BLMs, with gibberish names, in a single dungeon.)

Kicking many of them would result in me being kicked from the NN as well.


Clearly, something is wrong.
