The bot problem is rising and real.

Been leveling up a new character and literally every map I have been to, people were talking about the insane amount bots that flood all of ARR in the shout chat. I have never seen it this bad. Some folks in Eastern Thanalan was stopping a train of them by placing their chocobos in their path. The bots eventually got force log out by that afk timer but of course, about 100 more appeared after that. It's like we are already experiencing an apocalypse.

I need to know how to do this for science and amusement.

I don't think simply having a chocobo would stop them, but I know in some other MMOs naming a pet after a mob the bots want to kill will confuse them and make them attempt to attack it.
