Just for chuckles I went over to that gold selling site we've all seen the spam for and then went to the forums for wildstar. They are in early access right now and they are getting goldsellers and sure enough gold is being sold on that website.

Rhoric

I was in auridon the other day and I think it was south beacon and seen some templar bots teleporting around to the mobs there killing them. Once I saw the route they were taking to kill the mobs I jumped ahead of the bots and killed the mobs before they got there as I was doing quests in that area I needed. Even killed some of the mobs that the bot had already started attacking. It certainly messed the bots up. lol

We are really sorry to hear that your game experience was disturb by this issue.

Yah, because you have such helpful rules designed to protect the innocent. Dude, your excuses are getting old and pathetic. Bot detection should be such a simple process, yet you folks seem unwilling, not incapable mind you, unwilling to actively do something about it. Patience grows thin for many with you on this issue. Perhaps you should ensure your resume is up to date.

....Ok think for just one second about this story. Last night I went into crows wood to do the stuff there, to only find People farming wolves. these were people not bots, it took 10-20 minutes to be sure of this, after initiating several chats with them. IF i was any other person I would have just seen them reported, and maybe if I was angry enough, post their names on the forums for everyone to persecute this non offending player.

Don't be a *** just be cause your angy about bots, you are not the bots police, and the people who are agree, its innocent until proven guilty, and even then there is an appeal process for the mistakes and the "OMG i'm sorry I wont do it again", minor offenders.

Please see my response to Lynessa for the nice version, and please, in your case, consider any choice words you might wish to think on as I tell you where to go and how far to get there. And by the way, it is not a violation of the ToS to farm mobs, it is a violation of the ToS to use a program to follow a pattern and timing to farm nodes in such a manner that other players do not have an equal chance. That is the problem with the bots, and why your Crows Wood story brings no outrage.

/face palm obviously you missed my point.



PEOPLE....ARE...STUPID. THEY DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT IS LEGITIMATELY A BOT, BUT THEY DO KNOW HOW TO TAKE A NAME OF SOMEONE THEY THINK IS A BOT, AND PERSECUTE THEM A ND TAKE THEIR NAME TO THE FORUMS, THAT IS WHY NAMING AND SHAMMING IS AGAINST THE RULES. YOU ARE NOT THE JUDGE IN THIS TRIAL, ZOS IS

You sound pathetically angry. Did you have your business interrupted by the "crackdown?" You seem to defend the bots with the power of the CAPS LOCK, it is extremely impressive and scares me.

I shall never complain or report the loads of bots I see when trying to play the game. (not really, I will always report the scum)

redwoodtreesprite

Me and my hubby are going to play through all the quest lines up to 50, at least the ones that aren't broken. At that point, if the bots are still there, we cancel our subs. Pure and simple. And won't resub until we see on the forums that the bots have been properly dealt with. Might unsub sooner however if our templars and sorcerors don't get fixed or are nerfed worse, as we WON'T be able to duo through the quest lines if we keep running out of magicka.

You know... I started off doing this, and then got tired of feeling like it was my job to combat bots... seriously, fix your game client code, hire some GMs to patrol for them - it really isn't our jobs to report all these dang bots, there are TONS. To make it worse, they just keep getting better, they teleport, farm nodes, farm mobs, farm dungeons, etc.

Sorry, but that's quite an exaggeration. I am levelling clothing, woodworking, and alchemy, and I don't have any trouble finding materials out in the world.

Moreover, there are FAR less bots in the starter areas than there were a couple of weeks ago.

I concur with this. I keep restarting my characters because I decide I don't like the look of them. So I've played the starter through to end of first non-starter zones in all three alliances a few times over.

Bot activity got hit hard with the last patch. They've started creeping back in but it's nothing like it was. It's barely noticeable now. Collecting materials has become easy. They are everywhere.

Slightly related. Saw a new exploit last night. Player died but could still move. They zoomed (quick as any bot I've seen move) from enemy to enemy through the terrain surface. I think this is too hide the name. You couldn't mouse on them when they stopped because you get the enemy instead. Player was level 16 in Glenumbra. Got a name with FastReport and did an in-game report with the players name.

Well, there in is another reason we disagree. I am usually the first one to rush to developers defense in many cases, but in this one, and many others with ESO, Zenimax developers and those who respond here on the forums have lost to much credibility to continue with the pleasant patient customer.

The problem here is one which we the community have admittedly allowed to continue, and which companies like Zenimax are now taking advantage of. Far, far to often we have become complacent and acceptant of the release of half broken games, poor customer service and problem fixes. We have accepted that no game is released perfectly or near perfectly, and so companies continue to take advantage of us, expecting, even demanding, that we be patient while they work through the myriad of problems they should have fixed before their greed based release. Do the math, $15 per person US, 200,000 subscriptions, per month. At that rate of income, we, the paying customer base, should have no concerns, and we certainly should not have to deal with this "bot" issue. Again, I am talking about the characters, usually named sdjkagd, who seem to time warp skip across your screen and who, invisible sometimes, are working a node you try and access and get the message "someone is using that." I am not talking about the groups of real players farming a mob, that is a different issue.

And so, in the course of time, when the excuses are the same, repeated to pacify rather than provide true cause and effect fix, then the choice word for me is "pathetic" since to state it in terms I would prefer would also violate the ToS.

Sad, but so true.

You know what happens when they do *** all the stuff they need to get done? the game dies, the company will most likely die, and people will go on to other projects to pretty much start the cycle over again. these games cost MILLIONS about only 7% of games actually see a profit. what you are asking for is compeletly unrealistic, and if you tried to make a game this way you wanted you would never get it done or even published.

And this is one of the reasons why it will hardly get better.

Hey, could I get one of these almighty GMs to work over a couple solo-only bosses that have harassed me to death way to many times? Please? I'll give the GM some gold for her trouble.

LadyDestiny

Bots are annoying and I sympathize with your pain. Been there and did my fair share of reporting. To be honest, they are still around, but nothing like they were before, at least I have not seen as many as when the game first launched. This last couple patches seems to have helped combat them, I don't get mails now, I rarely see a spammer in chat. I spent the day in Kenarthi's Roost yesterday, grinding a new character. There was an occasional node stealer, but never saw any mass trains of bots or porting. Seems a shame to give up now, because in time the bots will be gone for good. ZOS is trying to get control of the situation. You are missing out on a really beautiful game.

This has taken a lot of the enjoyment out of this game for me, and thus far I will not be re subscribing. Once the 30 days are up, that's it sadly.

Another one to put on the shelf.

It is quite sad that you cant open your eyes enough to find resources to gather in the game. I do realize that there are BOTS in game but to state you cant find any resources is flat out a lie. If you look you will find resources you are obviously not looking hard enough.

The resources in game dont just jump out and bite you you have to actually find them. A trained eye will have no issues finding resources in the game.

The fact that it took you less then a day to make this statement tells me you either posted due to preconceived notions or you just like to be negative and jump on bandwagons. In both instances you failed to give the game a proper once over and jumped to a very wrong conclusion.

Bots do take resources but to state you cant find any is wrong and lazy.

At present the veteran levels are very short on bots. I've not seen one yet, though I have heard someone mention one once. Bascially it's not worth the bot farmers while to do all the main quests to enter the veteran zones, I guess. Or if they can enter, the difficulty makes it not worth their time over farming level 50 monsters in Coldharbour.

Still wondering why they doesnt farm in the crowns nest, tho.
Maybe it was, because i leveld too early.. but i haven't seen a lot bots too.
Its hard in the early areas tho.

The thing is though it seems like a complete waste of my game play time to report anything as it seems to me like Zenimax supports bots, gold farmers and the like.

I used to report all in game mails related to gold and crafting items selling, however I still get the same in game mails from the exact same gold/crafting items seller daily, so I ask again...

What is the point? You do NOTHING about this and in fact seem to support them being in the game.

But how do you duo through the main story solo-only bosses. This is the part that stresses me the most, more then the bots and the gold issues--the unreasonably difficult solo-only main story bosses. If I could skip them I would but then you don't get the story and you don't reach Veteran. Maybe one day soon I'll get my Khajiit NB fixed with help and understanding on both ZOS and my parts?

YourNameHere

Though I understand your frustration OP, it really isn't something to quit over.

You'll find bots in many games in all flavors.

It is just, right now, more prevalent in the beginner levels because of how structured the game is.

Nodes don't spawn in random places. They are set. So easy for a program to be made for them. If you watch them, bots ONLY go after jute and iron nodes in a small path. They will bypass everything else.

Also, they seem to have specific areas where nodes are packed tightly together and where mobs are not. So you can easily find nodes in other places.

man, Laughed so hard when I read this my co-workers thought I was loosing my mind. was that copy and paste part of the 'In Progress Effort to stop botting' ? I used to report Bots and Gold spammers.... but really what is the point? I report them and go back the next day to see the SAME not NEW bots right where they were before. Forgotten Crypt I have gone in there for two weeks now, every time I go in there same bots dragging mobs all over the place.

Automation for Catching them is not working there are more and more of them everyday... How about you make it the job of these GM's that suposedly pop into the game to daily go from dungeon to dungeon Boss area ban the bots. Not hard, to spot the bots that keep dying in group dungeons and dragging all the mobs with them to get back to their bot group. Our the three templar traveling in a straight line through the dungeon killing the boss killing a mob or two in the boss room, running back to the start of the dungeon and coming back down in time to kill the boss again.

The surface botts even easier. look for the pack of templar and sorceror running in a straight line from mob to mob in a circle.

we pay to play the game not do your job for you. If I'm going to be doing your job you should be paying me

Why are these almighty Game Masters not online 24/7 banning bots?
The only times I've noticed them banning bots they made serverwide message that for the next 15min they would ban bots. Same thing as saying, all bots please log off or we will ban your accounts...

You dont even have the tools to catch these bots other than through face to face, this game is so far from ready to be released it's ridiculous.

Yah, because you have such helpful rules designed to protect the innocent. Dude, your excuses are getting old and pathetic. Bot detection should be such a simple process, yet you folks seem unwilling, not incapable mind you, unwilling to actively do something about it. Patience grows thin for many with you on this issue. Perhaps you should ensure your resume is up to date.

There is no "OMG i'm sorry I wont do it again" for botting, it's permanent banishment.

The problem of course is that so much of the game is fun and playable in spite of bugs and bots; and there is so much of the game I haven't played out yet. I've tried giving up twice now but just can't quite do that yet.

Best bet is to quit now and transfer to the PS4 maybe when the console ESO becomes available. ESO more then any other game I've played recently just kills PC gaming for me. At this rate I really see a future where I no longer do any high end PC gaming and dump the desktop. Who knows, ESO may help kill off Steam even--if much console gaming still allows rental and resale deals. All they have to do is sell you a new key code/pass code.

So ZOS et al. can beta test for free and then release on the PC for more beta testing at gamers expense and finally release on the consoles. Sounds good to me. The hackers and botters and beta testing lovers can have a ball!

as a crafting vampire nightblade, yup these quest were the source of most of my raging. i'm fine now, Molag Balls is dead(ish), and am in VR content now. but damn I would trade the companions for a spare friend inside anyday. not like its even hard to do, turn the Harborage into a instance like the private dungeons, to where only group members can be inside, this appeases the people screaming lore breakers

How rude.

How do you know what processes should be simple for the ESO team?

I think the fact that there are so many fewer bots now means they ARE actively doing things about it.

No, what's rude is asking the paying customers to do their job and report bots repeatedly when it's THEIR job to not only locate them, but eliminate them. It's way past forgiveness time, and their inept way of dealing with things, which seems to always come down to being a customer issue, is tired.

After a couple days of play, around 15 hours all up, from questing and just having an explore, I finally found enough ore to make some ingots and make one Axe. Jute seems to be hard to find, and why does jute not show up on the exploring talent for gathering resources? All the other herbs I have found have a glow on them.

Anyway, unless you are playing in the beginner zones you really have no idea, Auridon has hardly any resources, for a beginner area its pretty dam stupid.

Lost interest anyway, already unsubscribed, games UI is a joke, crafting ui is ridiculous, and inventory stash, 60 lines of jumbled information.

I find plenty of flowers, so much so your inventory gets full in no time at all, and you are forever in town depositing into the limited bank space.

So many have left already over bots and bugs and general lack of enjoyment from the game.

I know what I experienced when playing, bots took a lot of the enjoyment away, you were not there, so really you have no idea, just spamming your dumb ass opinion.

Thanks for the good input from others though, I tried to enjoy the game, but it just does not do anything for me with the bots and UI, crafting etc.

Maybe if I had found resources in the beginning areas it may have been different, but playing for 20 hours and finding crafting materials for one basic white robe and an Axe is just absurd.

everytime I go to a beginner area, i have no trouble finidng mats. my main has keen eye maxed out, so it is defiantly noticeable change in output on these new characters, since they don't have keen eye. Jute is a cloth material, you need clothing keen eye to have it glow, but I've have picked up so much jute I know what it looks like with out it, It really just sticks out of the ground and is the easiest resource to find, tall green plant yellow flowers. you purchase bigger bags, and if the ui bothers you that much get an addon. But to make a complaint post after one day of play. You shouldnt have even bought the game in the first place if you weren't prepared for something like this
