Botting. Please report each and every player.
Botting is about robots. Brick on the button is not a robot. ))One thing I want to make it clear is that there is no difference between botting with another program or just holding down a button on your keyboard/gamepad with a rubberband or something. Botting isnt about technology.
They are not bots! And it's not a macros-using!
How can you say so?

I guess if I were ZOS I would consider offering a very expensive XP boost for 0-50 or something. A lot of people don't play the game for the questing or leveling enjoyment and I think these "rubber-band-criminals" are an indication of that.

I just made a video (really bad quality because I had to film my TV with my smartphone to get a video) where you can see what I mean:

Can somebody tell me what this is? Is this cheating? Botting? What is this? And the more important question: is this legitimate behaviour or can I report them?

I noticed some really weird behaviour of players during dolmens - players standing on "safe spots" and casting Destruction Staff heavy attacks permanently. Those players are there in the morning, during daytime and in the night. It seems like they're "bots" or players using macros (?) so that they can constantly get the dolmen XP when the event starts. I even saw those players in Camlorn doing the same thing (farming Werevoles, there is no dolmen or event) - casting staff heavy attacks without a pause. They are not on every dolmen but on some special ones e.g. the first dolmen in Auridon. Dozens of players doing the same thing - this can't be legitimate, right?

Any group of travellers bunched up together and doing the same thing over and over again would raise the spines of suspicion - if khajiit she had the spines yes.

ohhh my god-this brings back memories. it was miserable. to try to get one hit in on the boss in a delve before they killed it took intent focus and perfect timing-lol
I am just curious. If I will read a book or watch tv, while holding right trigger with my finger, will be I recognized as cheater or bot handler?
