The bot problem is rising and real.

I think the reason that works is because the bots use the "Target/interact with nearest NPC/object" hotkey and chocobos are included within that.

I think I'll try for it a laugh some day. It won't hinder actual players since they can just click on the object/NPC instead.

Supposedly the people controlling the bot accounts can report you for interfering with them... Now, I don't know how true this is; it sounds pretty ridiculous to me. Do so at your own risk, I suppose.
