Botharbour...

So... after seeing all the posts about the bot problem in coldharbour I finally reached there myself on my main character to see for myself the state of the problem and holy crap I see what they mean, VR1 bots running circuits around dungeons is one thing but level 2 characters zipping around from quest giver to completion in seconds, dying and warping, flying through the air and under the ground, I mean come on really? level freaking 2? its unbelievable it really is, we need some kind of permanent GM presence there, screenshotting and reporting seems to do very little, I even take the time to try and track down the leader of bot groups (usually a sensible named character running at head of pack of stupid named bots - Gvfds, Hxfdg, Sssfdc, and so on... you get the drift) but its got to the point where I just can not be doing with it, luckily I hit VR1 last night so I am hoping there is less of a presence in VR zones, somebody please tell me it gets better from here?

I agree; while I'm not to hard on zeni for most of the bot problems (they are still pretty isolated in most of the maps) they really need to bring the hammer down on bots in coldharbour. Maybe not permanent GM presence but coldharbour requires a bot sweep at least a couple of times a day... and if it's possible a sweep for the "anchor characters" that the bots use to teleport to; Those REALLY need an instaban..

Level 2s shouldn't be able to be there, period!

No way to get there without exploiting poor game design (Travel To Player when you've never been there) but ignoring poor game design there's no reason for a 'legit' player to have a level 2 there at all.

Sure, the problem is the botting but ZOS make its effects hugely worse by not implementing simple level locks that won't adversely affect players at all or in only a minor and unimportant way: I want to see level locks for all zones.

Even though I had a fun time last night running my level 16 getting Shards in The Rift, if a temporary limitation would help reduce the dire effect the bots are having ATM I'd live with it.

Yes, it is taking way too long to get rid of bots. I am willing to sub for june to give then more time, but if they fail to kill this plague, then I do not know if I will continue. Not saying that I will quit straight. But those bots are really a pain which is killing my gaming experience. :-(. And I am certainly not happy to pay for this state.
