Yep, they were there this morning too. I logged onto Miah, my moon kitty, decided I was going to work on thaumaturgy today. Went to central thanalan, and headed for the clutch, because I needed cactuar and quiverons. There, 5 thaumaturges in black robes, moving in unison and casting the same spells at the same time. I reported them and commented that there were bots there.
Then once all my log entries were done in central, I started running towards western, and a fate spawned near that zone border. I thought "Awesome this will help my XP" but then I noticed I was lagging. Slowly, 5... 10... 15... yep 25 to 30 thaumaturge bots dressed in red. I called my FC to look at it, we couldn't believe what we were seeing.

After admiring the sheer volume, I proceeded on to the zone border... finished loading and what do I see? An army of more red dressed thaumaturges! I needed the mobs around the mine, so made my way past them, got to the mine, and there were tons of black robbed thaumaturges, and a few teleport hacking. By a fiew, one moment there's hardly anything around me, next thing I know 10 thaumaturges appear, kill my target, then pop, disappear.
Then I proceed to the swampy ruins area past Horizon. Oh look EVEN MORE BOTS! I didn't bother even checking the other zones. But the sheer lag these things generate in the area, is unreal. I even made a post on the official forums about it. And a few hours ago when I was last online, bots are still there. SE really needs to get a handle on this before these bots start doing RMT stuff with our ecconomy.
