Being followed while harvesting

Would just like to say that there really has got to be something better for a 500+ CP person to be doing than following me down over half the coast of Auridon while I harvest o.O At first I thought that possibly we just wound up on the same route, but then even when I left nodes for them they did not take them. It was only a couple of times that they tried to take the ones I was actually harvesting. And, though I wasn't there for leather scraps, they seemed to think beating me to the kill on some of the mobs that agro'd was a good plan o.O I did not say a word, and neither did they. It was very... weird. Following people around is creepy guys, don't be a creep :p

    or perhaps it was an argonian erecting the spine of friendship, or a khajiit waiting for an easy meal, can never tell

    We did this in a large group 15 of us just followed some random player for 20ish mins while they farmed saying nothing at all to them. Was funny bc how confused they were. Some times u just get that bored and looking to have some fun don't read into it that much

    This is actually a possibility. A bunch of bots have been showing up out in the open lately. There was a pretty big bot train in Grahtwood near Heaven the other day (and I reported them one by one and they were gone in twenty minutes, it was awesome).
    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    Gee, it'd be nice if they'd respond to reports of player harassment that quickly. Or at all.

    I thought about the bot thing and the protection thing, but being too lazy to log over to an alt, I was harvesting on my well-dressed, and well-dyed CP 330 summat char. She is cute, if I do say so myself, and initially I thought the person was being *friendly*. Not saying anything at all was what was odd, but yeah, I get it... people ARE that bored xD

    PS: It didn't bother me in a bad way; been gaming for too long; would take a helluva lot more than being followed to make me drop what I'm doing and move on, or even get a rise out of me. Was merely posting my experience here as I found it amusing.

    I once had someone follow me all around Velyn Harbor for 20 minutes whilst I was trying to do some crafting, saying "I like your boobies". :/:(

    Never been followed whilst harvesting though.

    A few months back a player followed me for about a half hour while harvesting, saying nothing but would wave if I turned my char toward them and would sometimes run up to nodes and point at them. I wasn't sure what to make of it since they didn't try to get anything, even pointed out a chest I hadn't noticed.....I dunno.
    There is nothing here of interest to any nations; as a matter of fact, there is nothing here but people.

    I sometimes get bored, pick a random person, and follow them for a minute or two doing random stuff. It's amusing. Am I a creep? Probably. Do they get a laugh out of it? Sometimes.

    i bet they do! i always get more phun from unconventional and utterly useless things like this than the mainstream activities. There is a tremendous lackness of social cohoperation in this MMO (compared to the ones i've played - DAoC - Ultima ). Missing it

    I think one of the weirdest things I ever experienced in game was someone who followed me round for a few minutes, then summoned up the courage to have his fictional pixel character talk to my fictional pixel character. He pretty much immediately told me that I (ie my character) was beautiful and he wanted to give me all his gold. I was nice and polite to him, I explained that although I was flattered, I was an old married retiree IRL. I didn't accept any cash from him, but I now understand a whole load of episodes of Judge Judy (where people are trying to excuse throwing cash at someone they like) better than I did before.
