How is there not a way to catch or even just flag bots like these when they sign up? You get 23 new accounts on the same day, around the same time, all starting with the exact same prefix. Totally normal live person behavior.

- I also see boundless storm spamming pet sorcs, with account ids like "sadfajahfdjsd", farming wolves in Bethnik and mudcrabs in Alik'r.~

The last vid shows how a player can deal with bots that stand on resource nodes.
The quote below details how a player can deal with bots that have node farming routines:
"(...)
Step 1- become a magblade.
Step 2- slot on twisting path.
Step 3- continue to make to the bots are buffed with your twisting path. By doing this, you’re making the bots move faster and therefore making the bots become out of synchronization. (...)"

I will say the bots, at least the ones I've checked the psn profile of, are all chinese so that can also help in spotting them.

I know the report function has the option, but you can’t chose the screen shot, and if you are trying to catch bots in action, sometimes they have moved out of frame - and when you enter the report screen it moves perspective anyway.
Now do report if see big group & hope that at least someone from the company might go and have a look 😕
But do like to ‘play’ with the solo ones if bored…..😉 ring of the wild hunt helps…..
