It's amazing just how much even FFXIV's own tools will out them and yet they won't do anything. Follow the Mateus FC standings back week by week or month by month and you'll see some incredibly, spectacularly obvious outliers with consistent behavior tracking back for an eternity. Someone with access to the DBs could run a search for gear in circulation on Mateus with a certain handful of signatures on it and find at least four - again - spectacularly obvious outliers that have been mass producing for years. You can watch one run through the Quicksand on nearly an hourly basis, 24/7, with blatantly irregular playing patterns and zero attempt to even conceal it.

It's quite literally at the point that it raises the question: why *not* bot? There's evidently zero enforcement risk and zero willingness to trace things back to the source, you're at greater risk posting screenshots on Twitter or datamining content that will be public in <24 hours than you are gather/craft botting on a secondary account 24/7 and bending the economy to your will. The only way to get any attention directed on these things is apparently to make sure it happens live on an official stream, or make a big public fuss about it that can't be ignored by PR.
