      The game has an auto-afk feature activated by default, make sure you disable it.
      (bot will keep doing his little business while you're displayed as AFK which is impossible for a normal player)

      Moving or simply clicking somewhere in the game window clears your AFK status automatically but bots do not.
      Having your bot running around doing FATEs, or gathering while AFK is a sure way to get a ton of reports.

      So far Square-enix doesn't give a fuck about reports/bots/anything, but we don't know when/if that'll ever change. So as usual, bot smart and stay safe. :)

      This is probably one of the most important posts I've seen in a while, good job pointing this out for the newcomers.

      Very valuable post, thank you for pointing this out to everyone. You've no doubt saved people getting caught in the future.

      We've had a patch for this in Reornbuddy since this feature was added to the game. I am unable to replicate the bot being marked as afk on any of my machines.

      Yep, just this afternoon I finished 100% fate grinding every single DoW and DoM class in under a month non-stop. Never turned this off, and never had a problem either.
