I will not call them "bots" because I relate that term to RMT which is far more serious than what they are doing.

So a bot. If you won't call a duck a duck, that's your issue.

I will not call them "rubber banding" because omg no you cannot use a rubber band on your keyboard or mouse. Just does not work. Show me a video where you use a rubber band to make any skill repeat itself.

Yeah whatever, it was just something I threw in because others mentioned it and I didn't bother to check your platform.

AFK NOT AT THEIR PLAYER CHARACTER but using a MACRO keyboard / mouse / or win7 program.

So a bot.

Good answers all. Should not have targeted you personally. I'm just displeased with the terms we are using to describe this action atm. You verbalized it right. Excuse my pissy I am in the wrong here. Should have made it sound more like a general statement than look like I was pointing fingers at you personally.

I just ignore most of the people that play this game now.

This would quit being a problem if everybody would just run over to the bots as soon as some AoE mob types appear, but trying to organize that is like trying to herd cats with their tails on fire.

Very angry!

The Dolmen outside of Vulkhel Guard was the first Dolmen I ever came across. I still remember the thrill/wonder of seeing it drop from the sky, not knowing what it was or what I was supposed to do. Then seeing players run in from all directions, coming together as one to fight these monsters dropping all around us. This was the moment I fell in love with ESO. This was the moment that had me hooked! As a result, this is the feeling that I still get tinglings of, to this day, every time a Dolmen drops, despite having done thousands of them in the three years since.

So as well as the points made by others in the thread, it angers me to think that new players arriving in Vulkhel Guard are robbed of that same experience. Instead they get to experience a bunch of rubber banders/bots/cheats in perminant residance shooting at nothing the majority of time. Hardly something to leave them feeling positive about, let alone one that would make them fall in love with the game.

what is this Destiny loot cave farming now?

Eshelmen

Not upset at all.

What's the difference if they stay there or not? They still have to wait for the dolmen refresh. And dolmens take atleast a few minutes to clear out, so as long as you've killed one of those enemies, you should get credit. The outcome is no different when the game launched and every dolmen had dozens of people. Learn to share. And learn that farming is a natural thing with MMOs. Even idling at a farm spot, it happens. Plenty of other dolmens areas to farm.

Not an issue with me. I think only mean spirited people get peeved about these things. Dolmens last only for about a minute, and if a person is going to get hung up over something that last less than a minute then Afk players really should be the least of their concerns.

Not upset at all.

To each their own

Not upset at all.

I don't worry about how other players play as long as it doesn't unbalance the game. Since these players are not disrupting anyone, I don't care. Worrying about whether someone is afk leveling or not is wasting my energy on things I can't control, and which don't affect me.

Immersion is a hard thing to defend in an mmorpg but, yes, they do ruin it for me. It looks stupid when you are casting at nothing. So I agree with this! But because they are not showing up at every single dolmen in the game I am not toes stepped on yet.

I sometimes wish. That others afk. At the dolmans in Cyrodiil. But sadly. No one is safe. Yes you could destroy them. Maybe. You can try. But alas. Watch out for those hidden ones. Who knows, that you may wake up a huge army... Hence I will always prefer doing dolmans in Cyrodiil. I can be destroyed. I would recommend those "bots" to join in the fun.

I find the huge numbers of them doing this at Ilumavir in Auridon annoying. I've gone there to complete fighter's guild dailies and have had so many of them at times that the mobs don't spawn for me, or they do after the anchor's just about finished. People are running around fighting stuff I can't see, so I don't get xp for them. Not that it makes me angry, per se, just annoyed.
