how do i report a " bot" ?

i actually don't know for sure if its a bot,but im going by what i've seen with this character...

1. in WG i'll see his/her icon flying ahead of me 1 second.next second they are behind me,then to the left or right of me.kind of moves like they were " blinking".

2. icon goes from bright green to dull green.like they are underground.node nearby disappears.

3 tried this experiment. mined a titanium node and left a junk item in the node. went on prowl and stood next to said node. icon flew by,stopped,came at the node.it disappeared as i watched. nobody appeared while it was mined.

4.whenever the icon showed on my map i flew around looking for him/her and never seen that player.

Heya Druidzilla,
Q u o t e:

Open an in-game ticket under "report a problem" and provide all the information you can about what you saw. Do not get upset if you see the same thing occuring later as they will often allow the botting to persist in order to to be able to gather more information on the exploit.
