Boss Bot Farmers - Bots camping bosses, anything being done?

I tend to be a completest ( I like to do everything in every zone including every quest) when I play RPGs and this game is driving me crazy. I feel like Sheldon on that one episode of Big Bang Theory when Amy tries to cure Sheldon of his need to complete everything but instead just goes crazy and wants to tear his face off. Every time I look at my map in ESO and see a black icon and remember I can't change it to a white icon because of a bug or because I can't hit the boss cuz it dies too fast to boters, I want to tear my face off as well.

If you are a player doing same thing as a bot a) you know what your doing is wrong and b) you deserve to be reported and I certainly will. If you see me in a cave and DONT want to be reported then kindly move on once you completed because you are in my way now and will be glad to report amd have been told to by Zenimax managment. Not staff nor support but actual people running and managing the game do not condone this behavior and flat out told me to report them, bots or not.

It is not the same as a bot. Not even close. It isn't wrong or an exploit.

It is just like the boss open world camps, when you arrive and the boss is dead and there are people waiting for them to come back.

You are more likely to get suspended for abusing the report system than anyone getting banned for camping a boss.

As far as the last, BS. I call your bluff, prove it, they specifically said spawn camping.

Since you are on discussion terms with them, have them come post.


LotRO line had the same problem (except it wasn't bots), and fixed it with random spawn timers on the few open world bosses. No sane company is going to ban players for this. And again I'm not talking about botting. But actual players trying waiting for mobs to respawn.

From what I've seen the vast majority of the people waiting are actual players trying to get a specific item drop, then leaving when they get it, and not actually farming.

You might try whispering them first to see. The bots won't reply back.
