I do not know if this is the right place... move the post if so. But I am having serious issues with bots being all over the place. All the maps i go to get materials are often infested with bots running in a predetermined route. Its getting ridiculous. There are even designated areas we all now know are useless to go to because bots are all over the place, like at the bottom of ghratwood by the beach where there is always a train of templar bots killing all the crabs. I keep reporting them... i still see them. Not diff ones, the same bots. What does the support team do with the bots when they get reported? Should i just give up reporting them? I am a lil frustrated with them.

With anticipated thanks, the frustrated crafter.

    I mean I do not want to KNOW specifically what they are doing... I am just wondering why they are still there. Why the same bots. New bots wouldnt surprise me as much as me reporting the same bots veryday for a week and nothing happens.. botting is against the rules right? I am not even sure if it is, is why i am asking IF i should bother.

    Maybe we should have a bot-reporting festival.

    I recorded a video and sent it in before for one location. It even showed the bots logging out all at the very same time while they were moving. I ensure their names showed up in the video. A few week later the same route was still being run.

    I am not sure why Zos has not remained on top of the bots. Those of us that played during the first month of the game recall the group of bots in dungeons at the final boss and bots phasing in and out and points of quests where something needed to be done. It was completely absurd.

    They knocked them back at least some but they are once again somewhat obvious, well have been for awhile.

    They get around to them, in a limited manner. Some bots will go away. Others are allowed to run freely.

    When you feel that reporting bots is a chore, stop reporting them. You won't notice any difference in how fast they disappear, but it is just a lot less work.

    When you feel that you are taking bots more seriously than ZOS, and don't want that to be the case, stop playing and go find another game to play.

    In the last two weeks, I could have reported 109 bots on PC/NA. That is just too many for me to stop and report.

    I wish the bots would go away, but I realize they never will completely until the game shuts down for good. But believe it or not, the presence of bots indicates that ESO is doing pretty well: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/391089/three-reasons-we-should-actually-be-happy-for-bots-in-eso

    I wish ZOS and their bot masters much happiness in the coming months.
