Thank You ZoS

Avidus

Wasn't really sure where to post this to be honest.

But I would like to thank ZoS, today I played as I always do, and upon entering each public dungeon I was expecting to have to wait for the end boss spawn, and to struggle to get in a hit.

Well.. ZoS had rid every single one of the bots, in several dungeons!!
I actually had a boss waiting for me to beat it up!!

I know it was a delayed response to the bot problem, but it appears to be 100% effective for the time being, and I really appreciate the work put into it.

Once again, Thanks ZoS team, excellent work!

Hm.. I need to confirm this to believe it since I have not been in a dungeon for two days. Anyone in the forum who can second the OP statement?

I haven't seen a single bot since I entered the Vet areas. I wasn't sure if maybe there never was any bots there or if they had all been removed.

Well... I am right now in Bleakrock and the place is overrun with Bots. Each Bot they force out of the dungeon ends up somewhere else. Maybe not in the Vet areas...but in the below 50 areas for certain.
2 mins in Bleakrock and three Bots... and as a greeting on Zone chat... guess what.... you guessed right...congrats,,, a gold spammer.

I haven't seen any bots in Vet Status either.

Bots are still there. Went to dungeon yesterday and it was basically me and the bots. However about 3 of them was camping the boss and then couple groups of 2 running up and down corridor killing the mobs on the path.

i can confirm that, vet zones are bot free for me since yesterday.

Yeah, My post is referring to the very recent action taken.
I also have seen a screenshot of a GM posting in chat telling players to send a whisper directly to them if they discovered a bot.

So be mindful, dungeon bots are easy to get to, they do not move anywhere!
Gold Spammers are harder to crack down on, but they only exist in starting zones. I do not receive mail from them if I do not go into starter area's. And I have not seen spam in area's that are not beginner area's.

I think we as a community have to continue to support ZoS, report the criminals and do not support them by purchasing their services.
I also think we need to let ZoS know that we do appreciate their effort, its easy to say 'I saw a bot, ZoS need to do a better job'.
But recognizing what they have achieved might just help to motivate them.
It also puts things into perspective for them, so they know how far they have come and how far is to go.

I applaud the recent efforts of GMs in dungeons to rid us of the bot problem!!!
It has been very frustrating during the leveling process to run through a dungeon just to find 5-10 bots farming the bosses.
Thank you very much for listening to us and doing what you can to eliminate this problem!!
