I know I'm missing something and it's bugging me...
I go to the Frozen Fissure on the moon and it's always lined by wanderers that will never talk to you. Bots.
But why come to Siren to do fishing here? What am I missing? lol

its not just siren theres always <wanderer> hanging out inside the mooncave fishing on excalibur
I've seen it on Gilgamesh as well, always at least 6 to 10 people fishing.
Not everyone that doesn't want to talk to you is a bot. It's not easy to carry on a conversation and fish at the same time. You're bound to mess something up.
Second, what's so nefarious about people fishing?
Its the oddity of them all being wanderers
Maybe all these <wanderer>'s got lost looking for a Vault. I think next time you see a <wanderer> you should help them out.
I've noticed quite a few <wanderer> bots on the moon before. Not always fishing though, sometimes you'll get a pack of them mounting up at the same time and flying in unison from one FATE to the next.
I'm guessing by changing servers they're hoping they won't be detected as easily. All you can really do is report them through the support desk and hope SE investigates it.
Whats really funny is that so many of them are dressed the same...
Only catch of value from that fishing hole is https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Fleeting_Brand
I guess the bots are farming those as collectables, to then flip for White Script sell-able materials to fund RTM.
The reason for doing it CW would be to hide from player search and launder/sell the materials on whatever world happens to have the best profit.

Noir... It is the name of an ancient fate. Two maidens who govern death; the peace of the newly-born Noir hands protect.
I'm not sure why these bots have opted for fishing as their method of income, nor can I grasp why the heck they haven't been banned when they're very blatantly using an animation canceling hack.
The only thing that's changed since I first saw them is that that they are no long in a FC, as they were originally handing off their unwanted fish to low level bots who'd just sit by a FC chest constantly desynthing them a tiny bit of extra gil.
I did a more detailed investigation here.
It doesn't take much time/effort at all to tell that these are not actual players.
