Solution to Bots

Solution to bots: effort from ZOS.

Like other forms of cheating, they're not even really trying.

Runescape has some nice tricks for dealing with bots.
Random bosses who spawn if you farm to much. You can run or kill them if good but hard for an bot.
This should work in ESO to, might giving boss some vet dungeon capabilities like AoE single hit kill, reflect damage or immunity in phases designed to wipe bot groups.

Yes, adding unexpected one hit kills to overland gameplay will go over GREAT.

Someone using rapids on an orc wearing speed gear - speed hacker report.
Someone calling Dunmer the master race in zone chat - Reported for racism, yes I have seen this.
Someone killed me in PvP but I am so super *** uber that no one can kill me without cheating - haxxor reported
Someone jumped on a table and danced naked while I was rping - Seriously...

It is not easy to see the character build to know if they are a speed hacker or legit. There are speedy characters in the game and some of them move incredibly fast for no apparent reason that can be detected by other players. I say OK to report them, since ZOS can see if there is a reason.

If someone jumped on the table because they wanted to interrupt the RPing, then yes, they should be reported.

You’re attacking the supply with no consideration for the demand. If you ban a bot, there will be another to take its place. And another and another. As another poster already stated, you have to make the sale of gold less lucrative for the people who create and use bots.
