I know it's wishful thinking to think square enix will care from this one post but I hope that at the very least more awareness and attention to the topic eventually grows and grows until it finally reaches the developer side and square does something about it.

Right now bots really plague the system and it's kind of disgusting seeing how much of a stain they leave upon the game. Bots can gather and craft 24/7 and conquer entire markets, making it harder for actual gatherers and crafters to make a profit in the game. Combat bots have also been very thoroughly optimized and can be used in dungeons, savage, and ultimate raids with very little input from the user that makes clearing them very trivial. This devalues the efforts and work of people who actually go through the process of leveling, learning raids, and practicing optimization. Bots even plague other areas of the game from gold saucer games to PvP to events like Ishgard restoration and more.

Can more attention be brought to this issue? Even if some of these bots do not affect you depending on your gaming experience and how you spend your time in XIV, you can at least agree that a game experience without bots everywhere is better than a game experience with bots everywhere right? Please help in bringing more attention to this issue.
