I’ve seen a good number of cases of this: I’m farming a resource node when a player appears out of thin air, farms the node then disappears, seconds later they’re off-line.

I don’t see how in-game I report this.

If it’s something like the rich ori node that was in Southsun, it’s probably someone who just has their character parked.

The easiest way to tell if it’s a bot or not is if they’re a ranger. While the character will teleport, the pet will run away at Mach Risen speed in the direction of the next node the character is at. Sharpen your reflexes at getting that reporting tool up right away, or take a screenshot and attach it to a support ticket.

You can screen shot them, get the name, friend them and then report them.

If it’s a regular old node and you see this behavior then chances are it’s a bot. Actually they removed the rich ori vein from the cove anyway.

This was a copper node, nothing special. In this case it wasn’t a ranger, but they usually are. I’m trying to train myself to hit PRT SCR and this time I got one.

How do I raise a ticket for botting? In the Support part of the game menu I see “Report a bug” but nothing about reporting players.

[edit]

Okay, I see how to report it, I missed Panda’s ‘friend’ comment but I didn’t see how to attach a screenshot.
