How is the botting situation in this game?

[Metalwrath]

There is deffintly healers botting for DR relic grind.I dont know about if the bots for detecting s ranks and a ranks are still a thing but i know when i was on odin there was deffintly 1 or 2 fcs that did this the whole time.although afaik one fc moved to ragnarok over a year ago and i moved to zodiark.Even with Crossworld travel hunting doesnt seem to be anywhere near as bad as it used to be with afk bots to scout out spawns.
There was at one point issued with the armies of archer bots coming from grinadia but i dont see them on quite a while.
I only see the occasional blm bot tping at quest markers.They may have done something to stop the running through walls glitch the bots used to use.Im not to sure.
The main bot activity seems to have been still with gatherers and crafters.Its been especially rampant on a lot of servers for the ishgard title.Not sure why though.the titles arent even good.

The "hunt radar" functionality is just baked into most of the common bots these days, thus if a S rank happens to spawn in a ShB zone, every single user of that particular bot is immediately privy to its location. This resulted in hunts frequently being picked off without a server's local hunters even being aware that something had spawned.

It got bad enough that a lot of the hunt trackers/discords are now linked to those very bots to ensure that nothing escapes the notice of those who actually try to maintain some semblance of order to the hunting by logging kill times and relaying.

Just another example of how the prevalence of bots has pressured players into changing how they play the game. I personally find it rather vexing that I can seldom spawn a S rank hunt these days without a huge horde of players instantly knowing where it is.
