My partner and I saw a couple gathering bots on Primal, specifically Ultros (really easy to spot sometimes because they don't seem to jump, and sometimes get stuck on the environment), but so far we haven't seen any on Crystal. But I'm sure they're out there.

It always baffles me that people will pay money outside the intended ways with the game to just have more money (which isn't even hard to get to begin with) or so the game will play itself. The risk of getting caught and perma-banned alone you'd think would deter a lot of people, but based on the numbers each time they show who gets banned for RMT stuff, apparently not.
