Bots are going to be in FFXIV matter what SE does. There players right now with FFXIV crafting bots that cost 5$ a month. There all over youtube like Zavier said. There a website who even make FFXI Bots which are free i don't know one person in FFXI who did not give a try on Bots or at least use 3 party windower that are PC users. The same website make the FFXIV crafting bots which cost 5$ a month like i said. For FFXIV to not have many bots they have to have a team looking up Websites and shut them down which i don't think they going to waste there time on. Even gilsellers would be in this game for a long long long time matter what SE does to slow them down they go back bigger and better lol.

Bots are getting better and better at being more human and harder for SE to tell if there really bots. But i hope SE have something to stop bots later if not then i sadly never do any type of HNM ls that need to get NM for gear i just do the bcnm version if they have it.
