    Bots are rampant on Spriggan (EU)

    Can you please clean out the bots on Spriggan? It is getting ridiculous.

    About 30 bots standing around main Aetheryte in Grindania



    All White and Black Mages, all none sense names, all same outfit. Same in Ul'dah.
    Meantime server queue is high, in the daytime.
    Thank you!

    This is happening on every server that isn't locked right now, actually. I guess the owners of the bots don't even care if they're seen anymore since they're normally hiding in the walls of the GC HQ.

    They really need to stop blowing off this issue as something minor because they have to be straining the instance servers with the number and frequency of their queues.

    It's not just the RMT bots. There are a huge number of players using bots for crafting and gathering.

    Being, along with many others, someone who spent hours, legitimately levelling crafters and gatherers and a lot more gathering and crafting, it's soul destroying to see botting players taking over the markets.

    I'm not sure why they can't just issue a cease and desist order when most of the said programs are paid services.

    SE has been pretty aggressive about enforcing copyright infringement and other illegal practices when it comes to their properties.

    More often than not, the bot companies and companies that create botting programs operate out of countries where cease and desist letters would do nothing beyond providing a piece of paper to instantly throw in the recycle bin. Lots of the countries they operate in just genuinely don't care, or in some cases, might even be profiting off of such things to the point of attempting legal action against the companies directly is basically pointless. Its infinitely easier for Square to target people infringing their copyright or illegal practices when they do it within the confines of a country that has actually good legal systems.

    Square Enix is not entirely able to do this. these websites have actual protection by setting their policy/terms to disallow SE employees, and the like, access to the site. they can still access the site, but would be immediately violating the terms of these sites.

    SE themselves are not allowed to touch the websites, or bots/services provided. Square Enix would have to hire freelancers.
