How long does it take to remove a BOT

[Kes13a]

unless it is a RMT advertiser or a bot yelling about cheap gil in major cities... dont hold your breath.

FF XIV is considered a "bot friendly game"

you can translate it how you wish, but to all intents and purposes, if you see a bot, chances are, in 6 months or more you can run into it again. SE does not punish outright cheaters unless they are fairly stupid

Or chargebacks (which results in the list that makes gullible people think they're doing a banger job at 'banning' bots). But otherwise, yeah, 6~12 months in and the same bots farming/gathering stuff are around, same bot ring FC leaders doing whatever they want with the market, etc.
