Solution to Bots!

Solution to Bots around Tamriel-
Suppose you find a bot train running around. 5 players are needed to report the Bot account within 2 minutes time of each other (get some zone people in or guild mates)
After doing this, an NPC (maybe a ghost or something) shows up to force the suspected bot account into conversation stopping them in their tracks (much like guards when you have bounty)
The dialogue will have 5 options, the NPC will tell the player to select a specific option out of the 5 possible replies. There will be a timer (again, like the guards where if you take too long to reply, they will agro).
If the bot takes too long to reply, Ghost will agro and kick the player, if the bot can somehow choose a random option, if it gets it wrong, also kicked.

kadochka✭✭✭✭✭I think this is actually pretty clever (might need some tweaking for some) and would also be a tad bit funny. Would love to see this in action!
if I could make another character, their name would be Cries-For-Character-Slots. AKA, I need more.

PaulDrunkieSoul ShrivenThanks for replying! Blow up this post with replies, ZOS NEEDS to see and consider this!

FoolishHuman✭✭✭✭✭Systems like that could (and would) be used to harass other players. Bots will be programmed to answer these questions and be on their merry way while real players will have a forced dialogue every time a group of five decided it would be funny. Seriously, fighting bots should not be affecting normal players, they are not that big of a problem to be worth changing the combat system or harassing players for it.1

PaulDrunkieSoul ShrivenThat may be true, but the players knowingly harassing would also be threatened with a ban. The player count of 5 SHOULD make it less common as it should be hard to find 5 "friends" that are willing to risk getting a ban themselves for a little prank.0

PaulDrunkieSoul ShrivenTrue.. to be fair, bots do lower market price for mats, seen Kuta go as low as 2K per piece0
