Rapid Maneuver:
This ability and its morphs now only affect your group, instead of any friendly nearby ally.

so the only way to destroy and disorientate bots was to cast maneuver near player suspected as a bot
but now you cant do this on PTS and the same will be for live servers when DLC come out

good job, ZOS :D

    Why won't you report BOTS?

    They are against ToS and the ZOS is intolerable to any form of cheating.

    Just report the bots next time and they will get permanently banned.

    Not true.
    There were people here who got banned without any warning.

    You get a warning when it is a small offence....but cheating is not one of them. They ban for cheating with no warnings. As I said they are intolerable to cheating.

    That is a good change though it should have been only the people in your group since the start. If you suspect people of botting report it.

    At launch with the bot trains and bot boss farmers I spent a good hour a day just reporting them ( sadly it was on NA servers not EU )

    I would say the bots lost, because they made it impossible for them to make a good farm for gold by adding the delete limit which basically drove them off they would not bother with eso there might be bots still but yeah they have measures in place I am sure to make it a lot harder for them.
    There has not been bot spam ever since they killed the abilty to have a good gold surplex and they were being banned and it cost them more money so long as eso remains buy to play this game. They should stay mostly gone.

    I see no reason why ESO should ever go free to play. With more and more content DLCs and some more clever benefits for ESO+ I would rather predict that ESO will transform to a voluntarily subscribed game, so that in the end the result will be, that all have bought the game and many (if not most) will be subscribers. Currently the option to either buy DLCs or subscribe is still good to have. But think of people who will join in 2 years from now - when there will be 10 DLCs around, which would cost around 25,000 crowns (about 160€). At that time it will make sense to subscribe by default and most will be subscribers.

    Umm have you ever thought about killing or gathering the node in front of them in a different order WILL disoriented them? There is no substantial grounds that what your claiming in OP actually works. My intial suggestion, though, works well if you feel like being a knight in shining armor for ZOS.

    @Didgerion
    without warning - cheaters|exploiters
    with warning - bots

    i have quote from high tier support Game Master about it
    you must trust me, i will not post screenshot, because i cant
    its from my friend
    By Layman's standards, the definition of botting is the automating of a thing. When we receive a botting report, we typically send a Gamemaster in game to witness the behavior and run a few standard tests. These tests confirm whether a specific behavior is automated. If an account is witnessed for botting in game by a Gamemaster, then the account is subject to a 72 hour suspension. If the account continues to violate our Terms of Service by engaging in the botting behavior, the account is suspended again. The third violation results in an account ban.

    not true
    just google and see how the botters active on their forums
    or google and see the price andactivity of different goldsellers

    and how the hell delete limit can prevent botting? lol
