[IMPORTANT] Must have "Bot" as an option under Report Player! So many bots!!!

I have noticed bots recently in remote areas around Tamriel. One specific group of 8 bots I found today hid in this corner in a spot in Rivenspire. They followed the same pathing, skill usage, mob pulls...etc etc. You all get the idea.

They were 100% guaranteed bots. All 8 or more of them would sit on nearly the same spot, with names following the pattern of "<possible 1 number> <name> <4 numbers> <possible 1 letter>" (no spaces). They were all using the same styled inferno staff, and were outfitted in the skeleton polymorph.

I would've loved to report them, but I was in a rush to get off and there was no convenient option to do so. I'd have wasted like 30+ minutes of my time to properly report them all.

So I ask you ZOS, for the sake of bettering your own game, allow us to report players as "bots" for convenience. Unless I'm mistaken, the only option right now is to Report Player and then slowly write out a unique message about each inidividual.

I'm on PS4 NA. Anyone else having similar bot situations especially since One Tamriel?

    If it's PS4, it may be better to report the account to Sony's system instead of to ZOS

    Youre lucky you could reach the reporting tab in the first place. I've encountered 3 bots that had strange letters in their names and I couldnt use the /report command. I tried doing it up close with interacting but all 3 of them had 2 pets on each so I couldnt even target them. Theyre evolving :|
    If you want me to reply to your comment type @Ankael07 in it.

    Yup. It's not easy at all to report a real group of bots. And honestly ZOS just isn't making it easy for real players to get rid of them. I just don't get it :(

    Plus if we do report bots, who's to say ZOS will act on it? We need GameMasters to come in and manually ban all of these bots (pretty sure they used to do this in the first year of PC launch)... :/

    Agreed. ZOS has dropped the ball on dealing with bots.
