    Huge bot network spotted in the wild

    I was doing MSQ when I came across this. This is just a minute long recording but I've been sitting at the same spot for over half an hour now, just watching the bots come and go. Wanted to report in game but it seems I can only report one bot at a time, you can imagine that's not very feasible for this case. Apologies if this is the wrong forum to be posting this on.

    Sadly this is kinda common in FF14 land. If you wish to have some fun try using the idle camera within towns and starter areas.

    You will find many many bots inside of the walls and floors just.. watching.. waiting.

    those types of bots you just leave up to the Special Task Force people. They're the bots that get banned in the report that you see every Thursday on the Lodestone.

    Do like SE and pretend you didn't see them.
    This is going to get worse as the mass migration from WoW is making bot ring leaders see $$$. FFXIV has had these peaks of bots activity in broad daylight very often during all of its lifetime.
    Without going into the long story people have tried to do all they can to have this matter taken seriously. Nothing is going to be done about it.

    remember the days they spammed us with tells ("existence is reasonable! let's make it better")... remember the party invites, the friend requests... we are in the easiest bot-ignoring era in the game's lifetime.

    All it took was Yoshida to get spammed by a bot during a live presentation.

    Sometimes I'm able to trade interrupt their teleport. It's broken their script before and kinda funny.

    You'd be better off reporting them. Doing that could get you suspended as it's considered griefing.

    if you screen cap their names you can send an email to the ... "special task force" so they can ignore it. it will allow you to report multiple bots
