SE gives a detailed report on what they ban, they ban a couple thousand rmt shouters and 1-3 player bots per 2 weeks. I'm fairly sure that those 1-3 player bots either talked about it in game or their script broke. Meanwhile you can zone into Diadem or Limsa and while you zone in you will stumble over 5 crafting and gathering bots.

This isn't new either back in SB 100s of players would fate grind, fly in a perfect pixel line from 1 fate to another to get exp ... ignoring the maiden that doubles the exp. Same happened during the Yokai fate farm.

Its sad but ... look the other way, if you report them, they will still be there the next time you see them. The only thing that gets clapped are the RMT /say bots, which run on a script and are replaced the moment their banned, a giant treadmill SE actually can not win w/o further restrictions to the trial accounts. The only thing that would work is disabling /say and NN access which would also kinda suck for real trial players.

Crafting new gear within days becomes kinda worthless even in endgame, a player can not compete with a bot that farms materials while you sleep, to then craft them with nq mats. You have no value attachment to an item you basically got for free, so what if it would sell for 500k if you have 5 for free and you know another 10 players also have 5 for free ... the price will spiral and crash.

This has happened in every patch starting in SB that added gear.
