at least its not as bad as wow bots, i have seen this bots in certain area, took screenshot of it, report it and go do my own things, month later i check back and the bots are still there, same name, the very same bots still doing the same thing for a whole month and now there is 4 of them
A whole month? I wish Square would go that fast.

I'd been reporting the same bots for years now in some cases. Mr. gberugbw erbgewg the hyur BLM under the floor does not count, as those I'm pretty sure are just smacked with chargebacks which get your account perma-banned. And even if not, those are so painfully obvious a 3 year old could tell that's not a player.

But gathering bots, crafting bots, market bots, MAP BOTS, etc, those are left free to roam. Interesting once it's an account not likely to use stolen money too that it suddenly take them forever to do anything about it.
