Last week it was 8 EUR for 100k gold in spams.
I even remember 6 or smth for 100k few weeks ago.
Couple of days ago it was 13 eur for 100k.
Today i got mail with 100k for 16 eur offer.
I think ZOS are slowly beginning to win over bots and goldsellers lol

It's really easy to talk smack when you have an 40+ people following you, regardless of how much botting you are using. 3rd party systems exist everywhere, and you'd be a fool to think it doesn't exist here in Cyrodiil.

First of all -- the video clearly shows caltrops being used with no points coming in with the video taker having Nyreel as target for over 8 seconds. It shows Nyreel actually casting caltrops once, and the video also demonstrates 0 AP for repeatably dumping oil on their heads while on a battering ram. This video shows the caltrop exploit in action and furthermore shows the name of at least 18 people where were using and/or participating in the exploit.

Secondly, if you are familiar with foundry tactical combat mod, you should know where to find the names. And that's not my video, there is also another video of another instance with the same person "Nyreel" using caltrops, which is the guy (from the video posted) complaining about a team of players using coordination being bots and steam rolling them.

Dude, lol. Are you okay? Because I've watched over and over and not seen Nireel casting any sort of Caltrops, I see them on the ground, however, I do not see any player casting them. In addition, You seem pretty butthurt that you got roflstomped by these guys. You claim you "ownd" them however all I see is them rolling up and flattening you into the keep walls. It seems pretty apparent that you have no place on this thread. kthxbye.

I don't care how 'coordinated' you claim to be, the way MMOs work, factoring lag, ping, -human reaction time- , etc. it is just impossible to say in such a tight formation making tight, instantaneous turns. Even with /follow commands in other games it was still a near impossibility.

Interesting. I watched the video and thought they looked a bit disorganized and spread out. At least compared to our guild groups.

Indeed, in that particular video, we were a little spread out. That was the very first night we implemented that strategy and took it on the field. Thanks for the feedback, we have since improved on this and run a lot tighter.

I can't speak for this EP guild, however, last night on Celarus, there was a DC group that was multi-boxing/botting. I wish I'd had Fraps running because it was pretty comical. They used this same tactic of forming a ball and casting AOEs/heals and running around like a train. As long as you stepped to the side you would be fine and it was extremely easy to thin the herd since they never attacked to the rear or sides. The moment that 100% confirmed for me that at least some of the characters were using program automation was when the train got a little too close to a fence near a house and around 6-8 of them got trapped on the fence and wedged up against the house just running in place until they were put out of their misery.

In the open, a group of about 8 of us were able to kill this train pretty easily, the only trouble we had with them was when they were defending a keep we were besieging that had its outer wall down. They would pour out of the breach every so often until wiped. Again, sidestepping was effective, but it still made taking that keep a huge pain in the arse with all the people on DC that were actually playing. The ones that were actually playing were able to do a lot of damage to us while the multi-box/bot train was soaking up our damage and causing a distraction.

TSym is a guild of coordinated players. I have grouped with them, done TS with them, and my guild has cordinated with them. They're a fun bunch and know how strategy/coordination works, which apparently many people here don't judging by the comments.

Isn't this the second topic claiming they're botting?

WilsonMG · June 2014

Read my post. It wasn't about the TSym guild on EP on Bloodthorn. This was a DC group that I encountered for the first time on Celarus and they were indeed using some form of automation. 6-8 real players don't get stuck on terrain and run endlessly trying to catch up to the pack.

Why I made the post in this thread is because regardless of what TSym is doing, this group was using a very similar tactic, but was definitely automated with a few real players controlling.

HazardousNovex · June 2014

People actually complain about this stuff? I'm sorry, but if you die to these guys you obviously aren't in a very coordinated group, these guys are so easy to kill because they ignore you.

My guild honestly thought these guys were botting because they are so easy to kill and basically just donate AP, a 5 man group can wipe these guys easy.

Xsorus · June 2014

If you want to have a laugh, Go over to the Wild Star main forums, Since that game is based heavily on BG's, there is a massive number of PvP bots in that game currently like WoW had.

People been joining BG maps were 7 of 10 people would be bots lol

I actually asked them if theyve fought you/lost to you guys. They said theyve never lost to you(or anyone from EP for that matter!).

Yeah, that's a lie Fengrush (not calling you a liar, but the statement that they haven't lost to anyone on EP is a lie). We have a video on YouTube that they were off-base on that one. We beat them and trick is taking them off guard and while they're spread out so they can't huddle and barrier up. If you run any formation on them while they spread, they are done for. Their Achilles heel seems to be that they have no plan for regrouping -- IE when you do get the drop on them, they seem to run around like they are confused, and when you do over-power them they don't seem to know what a battle rez is.

Maybe though, playing devil's advocate that their interpretation of "beaten" is different. Maybe they mean a full wipe? Being as we refuse to participate in exploits and bug out a tent intentionally, and being as we can't do a search grid for every nightblade we see slip away to throw up a tent, we may have not fully wiped them. But when you loose 2, and they are throwing up a tent -- in my book that's one round won.

If you are an enemy, we look forward to seeing you on the field.

No thanks. Nothing in my terrible DC alliance has a chance of standing up to that. Why did you guys have to go EP? Make a DC guild, please.
