Largest Bot Train Ever

Last night I saw the largest bot train I've seen to date. It was 17 bots farming harpies in Silverhoof Vale in Rivenspire. There were so many and they were moving so fast as they steamrolled the harpies I could not report them. I additionally found bots farming Sanguine Barrows and Lorkrata Hills as usual. It really ruined things for me since I was trying to complete the quests for these areas. We really need a better way to report this.

    They've been pretty good recently if the ticket numbers or reports are passed on. So hopefully sooner.

    Sarcasm is something too serious to be taken lightly

    I was born with the wrong sign
    In the wrong house
    With the wrong ascendancy
    I took the wrong road
    That led to the wrong tendencies
    I was in the wrong place at the wrong time
    For the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme
    On the wrong day of the wrong week
    Used the wrong method with the wrong technique

    Awesome...I need the laugh. But seriously, how does one person control 17 bots? Do they actually need 17 accounts and laptops all running at once?

    It's probably some Chinese power leveling service. It maybe more punishing to ban them later rather than right away. That way someone looses money/time.

    I reported a 6 to 8 player Bot Train in Shadowfen this morning (PC/NA) near Percolating Mire Wayshrine.

    The trick is to get one of them and then in the report note the approximate size of the train. Don't need to get all the names as the GM will see the train and take care of even the unreported ones.

    In the report, include the approximate number of botters and the general location you found them in.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    Train of 17 bots isn't the biggest bot train I've seen but it is one of the biggest. I've reported them all. Biggest train I've found was northeast of Grahtwood with bunch of tigers. There were multiple trains that sometimes converge into one depending on where the cluster of mobs were. Eerie.

    Yes! I just recorded 2-3 of these trains. Sometimes they converged into one large one, then divided into smaller ones. So weird.

    There are about 12 of them out there tonight near Silverhoof Vale. I didn't check them out back in September when there were 17 of them, so I don't know if they are the same ones.

    The worst part is when it finally puts you in a group, your healer turns into a werewolf, your tank has 14k HP and the dps is heavy armor, using a restro staff and a two handed sword on the backbar. Then comes the 15 minute penalty before the cycle starts anew.

    Rulz of Morrowind:
    • The first rule of Morrowind is: You do not talk about Morrowind.
    • The second rule of Morrowind is: You do not talk about Morrowind.
    • Third rule of Morrowind: Someone yells NDA stuff, uploads images, streams, the game is over.
    • Fourth rule: only invited players can test.
    • Fifth rule: one invite at a time, fellas.
    • Sixth rule: crying or bashing on pts.
    • Seventh rule: NDA will go on as long as they have to.
    • And the eighth and final rule: If this is your first invite at Morrowind, you have to play.

    So I just saw an identical bot train in Rivenspire farming harpies in Silverhoof Vale. Most of them owned by the same player with numbers added but also varying player names and levels. No idea if it's the same people or just the same bot going around to whoever pays for cheats.

    also saw huge flock of bots of similar names in Alik'r at the dolmens, seem to be about 20-30 guys with same class and all with summoned darkwing imps of some sort, forgot name of that creature. during dolmen boss spawn, it went down less than 3 seconds. i barely made 1 hit.
