This game is amazing and becoming part of the stories and immersion into the world is a big attraction to many players.
From crafting to socializing it's a world you can become part of and enjoy daily, but then there's these bots ...
They ruin the most relaxing part of this game, especially when gathering materials is part of an Endeavor or it's how you make gold or craft your own gear/furniture.
I've seen countless complaints in these forums about them with no real solutions.
Reporting them is a temporary fix, and having to take the time to do that takes away from the enjoyment of this game and wastes time that you could be enjoying the game.
People will argue that it keeps prices down, but does it really?
What it does is flood the easily farmable areas with mindless bots that take away from the immersion aspect that people pay a lot of money to have.
I'd like to see a real solution to this problem from ZOS and not excuses from players that have a hand in it.
