Not sure where to put this but something I noticed about the bots.

I'm sure once the people who are making the programs realize this they will work around it but today I was goofing around, remembered something and decided to try it. And it worked. I trapped some bots.
If you decide to try this, have a buddy with you to report the bots. Turn off auto-loot and mine. Then just wait for the bots to show up. I netted two in this screencap and a kind person who was watching my antics was able to report them for me when I realized I'd have to loot to report. It seems most of the bots right now don't realize when a resource is 'tapped.' Again, I wouldn't be surprised if a workaround happens for the bots to recognize a 'tapped' source from a 'untapped' one but for now, it's a great way to stop them in their tracks long enough to report them. So if any of you want to help by reporting bots this way, happy bot trapping.

If you do this for about 5mins, the bots will turn and run away from the node. If there is no near by node they will run right back to you. After 10-15mins of this the bot will log out.
I too have trapped and reported bots during my play time... would be nice to get a check in the mail to doing this Job...0 -

I wouldn't mind something either but I'd like more in-game stuff. Maybe some motifs since I haven't had any luck getting them or some crafting stuff. I've always felt asking for something unique or more game time is pushing it.

rawne1980b16_ESO✭✭✭✭✭Standing there, doing nothing, waiting for a bot and hoping someone reports it.....
That sounds like far too much fun for me .... i'll leave that to you crazy cats.1 -
Daethz✭✭✭Likely the bot developers will fix this issue if people start doing it.
I just hope ZOS has a strong banhammer arm.Waiting, and watching, for the return of Melee Weapons.
