Stonefalls BoTs, getting official NPC status? :)

Insandros

Greetings all,

I was wondering if BoTs are being allowed now? I've seen a few posts on it, a few videos seing GM banning BoTs etc..but.. they are a few years old... but i'm being curious now, since i'Ve seen trains going on in Stonefall for a few days, for 3 days in a row for sure the same toon names, and a lot of them.. i've reported them yesterday morning, the day before morning and night, once in a while i tried to get there to farm some waxes to i can upgrade my gear for my upcoming sexy Warden... but they are always there.... some said they even reported them for weeks... i got in my emails over 50 tickets references for reporting lots of those BoTs, but nothing happens... My question is, should i also make my toons BoTs since it seems alowed, instead of getting bored farming my own waxes, or simply make gold at some other places and buy them when they come on on their other toons selling bulk of waxes way lower priced.. i wonder.... i know ZoS is not supposed to talk about ban stuff etc.. but i just wonder... is there some yellow enveloppes being transfered somewhere under our noses? I wouldn't mind one once in a while, but when you get almost 10 of them on different places it's a bit anoying... why not creating some GM patrol for BoTs only.. some policing players, trusted etc.. just for those cases, until further investigation, then they get to get banned... i don't know... but it's gone really intence since a week and more, i've never seen that much going, there was lots of multi-boxing, but now it's BoTs trains, it's way much more annoying... I know with upcoming Morrowind ZoS is way much more busy at other stuff, but i'm being curious.. seems there is a lot on otehr places from threads i'Ve seen, but that's the main place i see them. Well the good thing is, i'm almost done collecting my dozens of waxes, so they won't be much my problem anymore, but still, lots of players love that place, i mean, human players. I don't mind game changes, stuff being nerfed, bugs, long upgrades, long unplanned maintenance, that's part of all the process of an constant evolution in a MMO etc.. but that thing is a bit getting on my poor nerves when i come across those not cool and mean Tamriel travelers

A couple years ago automatic anti-bot measures were added into the game.

They didn't really do much to stop the bot problem. What they did do however, is deal a huge hit to performance/lag that still has yet to be addressed/fixed.

This video does a great job of explaining this, important stuff starts around 12 minutes.

The automatic anti-bot measures need to be removed so performance can be restored.

It's a shame they couldn't put an anti-bot measure on the forums. I'm sure you'd trigger it on the regular.

Antibot measure causing lag is the player assumption, not fact

You wouldn't believe how many things are player assumption that turned out just right.

I couldn't get far enough into the video to hear the explanation, i have no idea how people watch Feng Rush, i don't want to be nasty to him, i'm sure he's a nice guy and all, but i just can't watch him, he has such a boring, monotone voice, talks around in circles, he doesn't seem to be able to finish a sentence.
