They are probably working on a way to resolve the issue before making a response in this thread.
It is a very complicated issue and there is legal evidence to gather before they ban thousands of accounts(whatever the number of bots accounts may be).
If they will implement an anti bot system/code which will ban thousands of accounts of innocent players, it could be the worst crisis this game ever faced.
Hello,
Every day I find bots in different parts of Tamriel.
The bots are ruining the game's economy.
ZOS needs to do something about this.
Recent screenshots of bots farming south of Karthdar, Grahtwood, PC Europe server(NO naming & shaming, UI is hidden):
The bots are still there
Server: PC EU
Bots count: over 40+
Please stop them and implement anti bot system @ZOS_JessicaFolsom @ZOS_GinaBruno
One person with multiple accounts, boxing all of them.
You have players in World of Warcraft that 32 box. They do raids all by themselves.
Nothing wrong with boxing.

Are bots not being banned anymore, @ZOS_JessicaFolsom @ZOS_GinaBruno? Primary ticket was 170719-002305 which included the ticket numbers of the other reports.

The main issue isn't that they don't get the reports it is that ZOS itself does not act on theme in a timely manner tp improve game quality and game life community wise.

Also positive feedback that the reported accounts were banned would help a lot to show people that their efforts are actually having an impact.
Right now it just feels that reporting does not do anything so I get why most people just don't take the time.

Criminal punishment or not does not affect his line of supply and demand. Same with the gold sellers. Find them. Ban their accounts. Their bots pay for the lost accounts in just a day or two.
It's a game that the devs cannot win without a significantly larger team working on JUST this issue and significantly less scrupulous methods of intervention.

Yeah, they like that location.
Not that this is helpful but I have changed my outlook on bots. Now when I come across them in random places I like to think about what a massive group of people like that would be doing in the middle or nowhere. Is this a new cult? A group of walking stick enthusiasts? Is it someone's birthday but they forgot whose? Always a different story.

Interesting.
The only time I ever left ESO for any length of time was over bots and gold sellers, and they dealt with them while I was away. This time, they are not dealing with the bots. For some reason, I am hanging around thinking that if I just wait one more day, one more week, they will deal with them. I don't think they never will. I dunno exactly why.
Personally, I think they quietly changed the policy against using the automation that allows these bot trains, or have dreamed up some justification that allows them to stay in the game. Cheaper that way.

Recently we've had to remove several comments for being off topic and for being mostly flame. Keep in mind that flaming is against the Forum Rules and should be avoided to prevent action on one's own account.
Thank you for understanding.

The bots world, who knows if they will ever be stopped.
@ZOS_JessicaFolsom @ZOS_GinaBruno I noticed that you are happy to respond to crown crates and crown store related questions and complaints but when it comes to important issues, like botting and major bugs(like the CC immunity not working) threads, you almost never respond.
Please respond in this thread whenever you have spare time.
Have a good day!
