Can I report multiple people per report?

and

What does the team that deals with botting and third party tools need from me as description so they can actually catch the botting?
Do I have to point out how the bot works and is recognized or can I simply just say "bot" as description?
you can do all of that

but never hold your breath waiting for a result.

there is a VERY small team in Japan who are the only people who deal with this, by small, I mean 4 or 5 people for the entire game... called the STF or "Special Task Force". there are bots who have been reported for years who are still around. FFXIV is referred to in the forums for the bot programs as a "very bot friendly game" because of their minimal enforcement. they hit the low hanging fruit, like the bots advertising for gil in major cities.

there have been some very very detailed reports submitted, and yet, the same bots are still around for years.

I would submit what you can, one day something may be done, but currently, report and move on, have no expectation of anything but you will continue to see them... and one day, the STF may get around to doing... something.
