Cheating and RMT exploitation has hit a new level of ridiculous.

Seems like it has gotten worse since I last commented on this. Back then I would find 4-6 wanderers (I did a few player searches every now and then), but when I did this again today I found 6-10 on every world. Might be related to the time of the search this time, idk. Will try this again later on. Once their inventory is full, they hop to Mor Dhona to trade in the fishes, so yeah they're most likely farming Lunar Deathworms. I also found 2 bots that I've reported before posting here and they're still fishin :')

Interestingly enough, one of the bots I've reported this time was in an 1 year old, 58 members fc with a small house. When I checked the house to see who was the FC owner, I found out that the leader has almost the exact same characteristics from the bots, other than having a glam. So I guess all the 58 members from this FC are bots? The only member online had one level 70 warrior, so maybe the bot owner buys a lvl 70 skip and levels up everything else to 90?

if they have one 90 combat class, usually a caster type, but all the other members are 90 harvesters/crafters, I would say thats a good bot candidate.

A friend's alt is a level 90 NIN only but has all of his Gatherer and Crafting Classes at 90 and I'm pretty sure he is NOT a bot.

not saying they all are. but I bet your friend also doesnt spend all day, seven days a week in their apartment/house crafting and selling things either

There are generally other signs too when it comes to bots.

Like they only have the basic MSQ mounts or minions, no side content done at all, no instances besides MSQ. They're often in FC's that consist of just the bot and a few low level bank alts. That 8-10 person FC often has very high activity compared to other FC's on their server, meaning the bot is going 24/7. The bot is online for days at a time ingame at the same locations and often only crafts in a house or room away from public.

Once you add everything up together it's almost certain in many cases.
