Bots farming for money

Took these videos last night. Looks to me like they are running a bot with a bunch of accounts. Probably one of the gold spammers we all love in the chat...I wasn't sure of the best way to report this person or people, so I thought I would just throw it up here.

Watch the video here: http://youtu.be/ZlvsHop1COY

    Yeah, if ZOS cared, they would just send someone down there every few hours and ban all of the bot accounts.

    I mean... if they cared.

    I don't think you understand what is going on in this video. All of these characters are not being played by people. They are being controlled by a program...a bot.

    LOL. This is funny. Good thing there isn't an AH in this game. They're farming for what? To make gold, to spend where? I am just glad that bots do not effect the economy in this game.

    I saw an invisible person getting nodes that were clearly on my screen and clearly disappearing yesterday in daggerfall. His name was either easd or eads I only saw it when I was at a "bugged" node and my ui shows hold F to interact, 100% invisible, node disappeared, I kept my cursor on him and he seemed to just disappear. I reported it, after trying to mess up his bot :P

    ZOS - the most amateur MMO developer of the last 10 years. This game is sooooo f2p in less than 6 months.

    They don't spend the gold. I'm sure you have seen the chat spammers that sell game gold for real money...this is how they get the gold.

    Doesn't matter, ZOS will still remove it as we're not allowed to name and shame RMT scum apparently.

    I have experienced an "invisible" node farming bot yesterday. While hitting E the ore disappeared and I saw for a short moment a cryptic name of a player to interact with which never was to be seen. I turned round for the next node and it was disappearing as well. Unfortunately I was not fast enough to take a screen shot of the "players" name.

    Are you really that naive?

    I hope not.

    its like a flagrant display that they are not worried about being banned in a timely manner. I honestly have ran into so many bots and teleport harvesters I have given up on reporting due to the time required to do so

    Hmmm....I didn't know that we were not allowed to report cheaters....that's stupid.

    I have not seen gold spam since the starting areas. So I didn't know.

    Agreed.
    Once i left the starting area, all of the goldsellers dissapeared. I think i got a spam guild invite 2 or 3 times, but that's all. No zone chat spam, no spam in my mail box, no whispers, nothing.

    It seems that when I get towards the end of a dungeon - almost, but not quite at the boss, there is a bunch of bots hammering on some NPCs every time they spawn. It seriously ruins the atmosphere of the game. Hate 'em.
