New Botter tactic?

Megabear

I found a bunch of botters hiding behind a rock while couple guys were killing everything nearby. I can tell they are botters because they move in absolute unison when they move/hide, just like a typical botter train. This method is less conspicuous but probably not too effective. But what this tells me is that perhaps reporting bots do work. Otherwise they wouldn't have to resort to tactics such as this.

very likely it is a power leveling service. There are still lazy ass people who pay to have their characters leveled. In a case like this, park the characters being power leveled while a couple of live toons run in a circle killing for hours on end

Reported for spreading misinformation.


There is no cheating, exploiting or botting going on in ESO.

It's botting to an extent that they are benefiting from scripted commands such as follow/hide. Less sophisticated, probably intentionally, but scripted nonetheless.

I'm in NA, and the botters were located in northwest quadrant of Deshaan.

The power leveled toons move around just like botters do in a typical botter train. They were clearly scripted.

I was joking on the original post above.

Botting is massive issue with ESO atm, like exploiting content. Using Google shows a variety of services with pre-made scripts to buy or subscribe to.

Countless players asking and tagging @ZOS_GinaBruno and other 'employees' in the Cheating and Exploiting thread for over 9 months and get no reply.

Z0$ have been incapable of dealing with this and have always relied on players paying Z0$ for the game then spending the playtime in policing the game also.

That's too bad.. I will keep reporting bots anyway and post as necessary. Maybe they do listen in the background, I don't know for sure but it's better to try than just sit there and hope.

Hope? lol


~9 months ZOS haven't replied to anyone in the thread THEY made on Cheating and Exploiting in ESO. If they havent got 1 minute to make a forum reply in there own official forums when a customer/player is asking for direction on an issue, what hope really have you that they are fixing this?

I don't buy into that and I will keep trying anyway. I've made SO many changes by keep trying, both in real life and ingame. Especially in real life.
