Bots with random names

[Moghedienuk]

This past few days I've noticed a ton of bots in low level areas warping around and doing quests and killing stuff. By warping I mean appearing at the quest giver, completing the quest and disappearing again. no teleport or return. I'll be killing some mobs and they'll warp in and start casting in tandem etc. Their names are always skdkasdjadjakdjh or somesuch.


Is this a new thing? How do I report them?

Pretty common. Gil-farming bots were always there. Best to ignore them.

"random names" use speedhack and no-clip, it's normal? I wonder can i use speedhack and no-clip for comfort?

That is a thing since i started playing so like start of Heavensward. And SE is for sure aware of them...but they are still teleporting through the game like little rats on speed. I don't think that will change...xD

This, except don't ignore them, report them!
Catch at least one of their names and you should be fine. Let the report show there was many of them and I'm sure the GM handling it will know what to do. ...hopefully.

If you can target one of them, you can use /e <t> so you can have a record of their name in your chat log for later reporting.

They generally get banned on a weekly basis for their hacking, though it doesn't matter because they've already made a substantial amount of gil by then.

They need to be getting daily purges if they want to actually impact their farming.
