BOTS in Vet zones!

kasain

WOW, So here I am in RIvenspine, vet zone. All mobs are lvl 3+ vet. A pack ofthree comes walking by and stars owning all mobs including werewolves. Just on the off chance you may think it was a party, I walk over to an essence rune, click on it, but it was gobbled up from someone underground.

First time I seen someone do that, but hey welcome bots to high end bot zones

I also reported two individual bot-trains of three Vet1 players each in coldharbour. One consisted of tree templars, the other one was three sorceres. They were both farming mobs in two different areas. Probably only a matter of time until they either move on to Vet-levels or get sold to some lasy ass player.

Well that's cold harbor, but these vets were in a zone with V3 monsters. That means they beat Molag Bai. And that means more will come soon.

I saw mole botting last week in a Vet 1-2 zone.

Some players are still in denial, as they continue to defend the game's vet zones. Saying bots aren't in Vet zones is delusional.

But, but, but ZoS, solid defense against bots . . . cannot pass, without . . . but, but, but battling bots and taking measures, and, and, and, flawless launch . . .

I wonder how they are beating Molag Bal, or if they are indeed doing so at all. Is it possible they can traverse the map in ways we have not considered?

You betcha! They having this game as 10$ ***.

They can warp through terrain, I don't see why not. i imagine some of the bots were build off some player asking "what build do I need to beat molag bal?" I imagine half the wts/wtb post in chat are toon fronts for gold farmers.

I beat Molag Bal twice now as a Sorc (47) and Templar (48)... on the first try its really not that hard at all. Why are you wondering how they can do it? They just play the char that they want to beat him with and boom done.

I got a spam today saying "buy level v10 chars for cheap"

This is going to be the first mmo that bots destroyed lol. I mean zennimax has screwed up pleanty of other things with the game but this bot fiasco is like nothing ive ever seen before.

Yesterday I started a new character because wildstar beta is over and my main is vet 10 with nothing to do. Ive been In the vet zones for a long time so I hadn't really seen the bot problem.

WOW! bleackrock is a mess. ive never seen anything like it, the island looks full and busy except I don't think I saw one real person, they were all bots. People zooming passed me through building walls, heads of people sticking out of the ground where crafting nodes are.

For bots to be able manipulate this game this badly somebody screwed up really really bad somewhere. The zennimax devs have a lot more important things to do now besides fixing night blade sill, balancing classes, fixing exploits in pvp or craglorn.

Did anyone think to report them? Your thoughts?

Oh yes hundreds and hundreds of reports, instead of feeling like it helped anything its getting worse, proven by this thread they now in vet zones too.

Don't complain too much. If those "hundreds and hundreds" of bots are the tip of the iceberg, they represent major dollars in terms of box sales and monthly subscriptions. The bots might be the ones keeping this game afloat.

I reported all of the ones i could, but since this game doesn't have name tags on characters its kind of hard to mouse over someone doing mach 5 past you through a building and 10 feet off the ground.

I noticed the bots come out mostly at night. I usually made my new alts in the early afternoon pacific and most of what I saw were players(mole bots dont count I dont see those) but as it moves to evening... botsville.

I agree. How could they not see this coming and make preparations? They spent years of toil and millions of dollars creating this awesome world. Yet there had to be virtually no testing done on how bots could exploit the game.

And it makes me so sad. What a waste.

It don't work from VR1 to VR5, I tried to travel to an guildmate but could not as he was in VR
Still not stops them from grinding to say level 45, do the main quest and move into veteran zone. Downside is that it take far more investment than farming jute or quests and you will get multiple reports fast if you behave like an bot.

bots are underground the vet zones.So they can farm all materials like runes.
