I had one that was killing mobs for skins, and it mounted up every time to move to the next target.
If I pulled one of it's mobs away after it aggroed it, and hexed it (60 second CC) some distance from the bot, it kept him in combat and unable to mount, so he just stood there jumping. Eventually, it's owner would come back, say ??? a few times, then log off. I reported them with a full description of their path glitches, and they eventually disappeared.
WoW actually has a competent GM team unlike XIV, which one of the things I miss most.

The "normal" bots here largely exhibit the same behavior as the ones in WoW in terms of having jerky, repetitive movement patterns, and they also unfailingly jump in place whenever they take flight after mounting up which is one of the most obvious tells. They're generally either farming material drops from enemies, gathering, or spamming FATEs for EXP.

The gil farming bots never actually walk and instead just teleport around using hacks.
