The bot problem is rising and real.

I recently contacted the GM team in-game and inquired about their knowledge on the issue. They say that they are very well aware of the bot-related problems.

The GM I spoke with encouraged me to file a report directly to their Special Task Force.

In order to send them a report you have to go through the SE support center into their XIV section. Then Select "Report a Bug or Offending Player" Then down at the bottom you are able to select a "Report Type" that consist of RMT, 3rd party software use, and Other(which I'm sure many bots fall under as well).

I recommend those of Famfrit and other heavily affected servers take the time to send reports to this task force. I would imagen the more reports that are submitted they more likely and more swiftly action may be taken to alleviate the issue.

Far from the most effective way to do it, but its what we have to work with so that's what we gotta work with.

The clones will be dealt with by the STF in due time. Max level/regular players will be left untouched as the STF can't detect the use of their bots. No need to report unless you want to see how little the STF actually does.
