Bot reporting?

[Jillian]

It's too bad that even when you give them concrete evidence they still almost never actually ban a bot as long as it's remotely subtle.

The only ones that get banned with any semblance of reliability are the gil farmers but that's mostly because they're hacking on top of their botting.

I've seen a few get banned but, you're right; it can be very difficult to get gathering bots banned even with proof. I'm not sure if the STF is understaffed, has too many reports to sift through, or what. This might leave them with little time to thoroughly investigate reports that have no evidence beyond general player suspicions.
