Since the destruction of LA, I’ve been hanging around in DR more often. I hadn’t noticed anything in the past weeks, but for the last several days I’ve seen more than a few similar bots. They are always similar looking level 2 human female rangers with typical bot-ish (face meet keyboard) names.

None of that is odd, but these are very commonly in guilds. And not whatever guild their newly stolen account happened to be in. I’ve even seen a few that have been in the same guild. The guild names are usually typical bot-ish names, but are occasionally names with keyboard mashed guild tags. The guilds with names seem to be ancient Greek/Latin names.

Most of them stand around in the open near the bank/TP area for a while, then will eventually move in to where to guild banker is. I don’t think they are gold-spam bots, because I’ve not received PMs from any of them.

Nothing about this is really surprising or special, but it’s just something to keep an eye out for to get this new bot waved cleaned up.

This game has far less bots than any other game I played. I can assure you they get banned eventually.

Yeah, they’ve kept a pretty good hold on the bot situation for a while now. There have been times were it was kinda bad, but it’s been good for a long time. I’ve seen a bit of a resurgence in gold PM bots lately, though. But even that has already began to decline once again.

I’ve been idle in DR for a bit this morning, and one of the same ranger bots I saw yesterday is back. It’s moved around a bit between the guild banker, and standing just outside the banker room. The odd thing is that it’s represented a couple different bot-name guilds in the time that I’ve been here.

I’m almost hesitant to report for botting, because it’s not actually doing anything. But the behavior is definitely suspicious.

That reminds me of the gilsellers they had on my server way back in FFXI. They were all in the same linkshell(guild), and all their names ended in -buns (Honeybuns, Stickybuns, etc.)

Though, if they are only using bot guilds, all I can think they are doing is storage. If they are buying/selling masses of items on the TP, they are probably storing it all in separate gbanks.
