Bots in Glister Vale forever?

Will bots be in Glister Vale forever? Every single time I go there there is a bot-train. Always!

@ZOS_GinaBruno, can a GM please visit that SMALL spot and ban them? It's a very small area so there's no way you can't miss the bots.

Every single day there is a "train" there killing wolves, always.

Or I need to report this again, even when I did it many times already and I'm now telling you EXACTLY where they are every single day?

Thank you.

    Also if you've reported it multiple times, I'm sure they know/it's on someone's to-do list. It's just a matter of how far down the list it is.

    Almost one month have passed since I posted this thread and bots are still there.

    I'm there right now. One of them has +100 CP, other +200 CP and a third one +300 CP.

    Can't believe NOTHING is done!!! I gave you the EXACT spot! Every single day there!!!

    I don't believe they have a paid GM staff at this point.

    Have to see this first hand. Might be fun to mess up their chain a little, go ahead of their rotation and snipe the wolves first >_<

    This was 2 months ago, I recorded the dumb song over the sound, because OBS recorded the sound from a youtube video I was watching.
    But, every time I had been to Glister Vale in the last year, I've ended up reporting bots.

    Video proof was why I downloaded OBS in the first place.

    You can't troll a bot, there isn't anyone playing to care. You'll just slightly affect their XP/hr for only as long as your willing to continue.

    Exactly two months now since I opened this thread. No reponse from ZOS and no action of course.

    200+ CP bots still in small Glister Vale gaining their free XP.

    I'm sure they're just really good players who have perfected their synchronization due to hours and hours of extensive training.

    Sadly one of ZOS' weakest points.

    They really need to find a way of getting a team to handle this, as it really seems like ZOS doesn't have an actual GM team. They've always dealt with bots by just patching things away, which doesn't work for this.

    I understand that fighting bots is a never ending battle and can't be won, but at least try and show you've got people actively fighting it. :disappointed:

    Ugh. I keep hearing Glistery Vale Forever to the tune of the Beatles Strawberry Fields Forever.

    I'll be tormented all day. At least it's a decent Beatles song.

    There were also a ton of them last night in the areas around Shattered Grove in Auridon. I wasted my time reporting every single one of them...not like it's gonna make a difference. The thing about that area that was annoying though is the fact that you need to keep one of the bears alive to complete the quest. Luckily, I was able to find one on the outskirts, away from the botters.

    I've experienced groups of players doing synchronized actions before. Although most people would have called them bots, I found out that at least some groups like this are actually Chinese players that are working together to mass farm.

    I don't know the circumstances of the players and it could be that they are still doing something against TOS despite not using bots, but it was an interesting realization to have.

    What players may not always think about is that having many mass farmers in the game lowers the gold prices of various goods.

    Although some players may be negatively impacted by such a price decrease, I think that many more players benefit from low material prices.

    I can differentiate a human from a bot. These are bots and are there 24/7. Humans need to eat, sleep and more...

    Just keep reporting them every time you see them.

    I use the wolves at Glister Vale for filling soul gems (using Oblivion set) and used to see bots there frequently. I reported them every time I went there and eventually they disappeared. (PC/NA.)

    It did take a few months though.

    I assume the bots were sent elsewhere.
