The bot problem is rising and real.

I am fairly new to ffxiv so what are SE's method of combating bots? Do they track and ban ect?

they have an ingame report feature for RTM, which you can't clearly use on every bot, just the ones that spam in chat. other than that you either report them one by one by filling a form or wait for a banwave, if it even works.
