Considering a return, how is the bot and gold farming control?

So I've been gone for a while now, probably since November or something. Shortly after release I starting coming across item farming bots and gold farming bots and eventually it just got out of control. They did make some moves to prevent that but it was at the expense of normal players being able to enter and re-enter areas for items that might drop or sets that we might be able to complete. Also farming resources was getting hard as bots were running around picking it all up.

So, how is it now? Still an issue? They claim its much better but only players will actually know for sure.

    What bots?

    In all seriousness, ZOS took aggressive measures against bots and the gold spam. 2 or so months after launch those things were pretty much eradicated.

    They have gone altogether to be honest. Haven't received a mail or seen one in quite some time.

    However if you want to PvP, don't even bother coming back. It's unplayable after 5 in the evening in Cyrodiil (and that's on a good day).

    ^This.

    It didn't take them long to get it under control eliminated.

    No more zone spam, no more mail spam, no more invisible bots. It's a beautiful thing.

    There is no bots in ESO. If there are, they can't be seen and you woudn't know about them.
