Oh cool! A thread I can respond to. I reported the same bots in multiple zones roughly every day for 6 months. Terrible random letter names, obviously identifiable repeated route pathing, same rotation for hours on end, Only one job at 80/90 but every single crafting/gathering job maxed out...

They are still there. FFXIV can say they ban RMT/botters, but I know for a FACT that this is not true. I've reported an unfathomable number of bots and they are all still there, gathering, every single day. Every single one. I've provided photos. I've provided video footage. Nothing is working.

The RMT announcements where they announce the numbers are absolutely inflated and are a lie that a large majority of players are falling for. I'm not saying they don't ban people because I think people that get reported in mass for rmt chat spamming get banned, but gathering botters definitely are not getting banned when I report them every single day for half a year.
