Everything about the gil farming bots is fully automated including their log-in process, so I can guarantee you they'll all be online before any legitimate players manage to get in.

What these bots are doing has changed little since the earliest days of ARR, but their numbers definitely have, as I was routinely seeing nearly 200 of them online simultaneously on Cactuar alone before the character creation got locked when previously you'd see less then half of that. Their increase seems to have coincided with the patch that introduced World Travel.
