I guess it s not bots but.... yeah, it's bots.

Look, thrid time I've reported this group over 6 months*. They seem to only be out at prime time, which is not usually when I farm. I *guess* 4 people with randomly named account could be in a group... and 3 hide in the shadow of a rock so you can't see them unless you know where to look (hey, they wised up after last report, only 1 has a merchant out now instead of all 4). And I *guess* all 4 being sorc builds is a coincidence, lots of sorcs, yes? And only 1 runs the path at a time - they all pull lightning form at the rock, run out, pull kagouti mobs kill, repeat, then pull one mob of plague husks.. I mean, it *could* just be great teamwork. I mean... it's possible right? Not possibly questionable?

No. It's very questionable. Why the need to hide 3 people? Why all run *exactly* the same path. Why does everyone kill at exactly the same spot, with the same skills. There's 1 real person, as one toon will stop and watch me report all 4. Give us some help here @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom . There's no "copy-paste" reporting for 4 different accounts, it takes a while for me to do this. Please actually ban bot accounts. At the very least it's one person running 4 accounts at once. Which I *guess* isn't against TOS but...

Seriously? Why are legit players still having to fight this 4 years in? Why does it take MONTHS if not YEARS to ban these accounts?

*Well, definietly longer than 3-4 months but less than a year. 6 seems a good guess. Too many bots tickets in general to bother sifting through.

Well according to some, if you can't prove their intent, then it's not cheating.

Those some are wrong. Intent doesn't come into play at all if activity not allowed by the terms of service agreement is happening.

In addition to what @ kargen27 said... if this was indeed legit farming, why hide 3 toons in the shadow of a rock? I've sent a screen cap in with reports before - it literally looks like a spot of shadow, but my cursor is flickering between 3 different account/toon names. That's some pretty good hiding. I mean, nobody legit would take the time to hide their farm toon in between runs... think of the lost time!
