Why is it such a pain to report botters in this game

[KageTokage]

I feel like they're convinced that RMT bots are the only real issue that's going on, which why they've only bothered adding a quick report feature for those when they're just the tip of the iceberg,

why do you bother so much about bots anyway?
It's not like botting is a killing issue in FF.

Among other things, they're:

1. Controlling server economies.
2. Annoying people in PvP/duty finder by trying to automate content that requires an actual brain to do effectively.
3. Locking groups out of Amdapor Keep (Normal) entirely by overloading the instance servers.

It's not a "killing issue" per say, but is annoying as heck if you're conscious enough of them to notice how prevalent they are in virtually all aspects of the game and are legitimately harmful to the gameplay experience at times.

Also bots have a tendency to flood the servers and forcing people into queue. Even if you have to wait for 1 person in queue, that is still too much when there are bots roaming around. With the world visit system in place, there's less leg room to work with.
