SeñorCinco✭✭✭✭Now, here's an original thread. I thought I would come here to see the same thing that has been broadcast over the last several days.
.. whew, that was a close one.

Pets (when referring to summoned Daedra) / Any verbiage to express slang (ie, ending in uz,az,..) / Soul Stone

Now, get off my lawn.3 -
Rytfield✭✭✭I know the bots are frustrating but there are over 9000 threads concerning this issue already so why keep making new ones?2 -
And again... I still haven't seen a darned single one of them and I'm close to Veteran Rank 2... Again... I think I need to take a shower or somethingThe statement "if you put enough monkeys behind enough typewriters... sooner or later one will produce the works of Shakespeare" has sadly been proven utterly wrong by the internet...0 -
Because kids these days have an attention span of about 1 millisecond and can't be bothered to do a search for posts that aren't on the front page?
Haaaaa.... obviously not even look over the first page it seems

Tell us which server you're on and we'll send you to the appropriate public dungeon. If you're EU try any Eastmarch public dungeon right now, those groups of auto attacking people named dfghhdd are just common players right? :P@Turelus - EU PC Megaserver

Nope, sorry I'm A.D. on the EU servers so not my lands... I'll give it a look over when I get there on the Veteran Tour...
I haven't seen a single one during my run from 1 to 50, nor past it... But then I don't go look for them either, I actualy kill a boss in a dungeon and move on to the next one... If you look for something I'm sure you'll always find it...The statement "if you put enough monkeys behind enough typewriters... sooner or later one will produce the works of Shakespeare" has sadly been proven utterly wrong by the internet...0 -

I did not know blind people would play computer games. Maybe you can get an interview for some newspaper.2 -
Hey man, no need to get nasty... What do you want me to do... lie and grab my pitchfork and jump on your bandwagon ? No thanks, I'm either very lucky or some people just go out of their way to look for bots to have something to nag about...The statement "if you put enough monkeys behind enough typewriters... sooner or later one will produce the works of Shakespeare" has sadly been proven utterly wrong by the internet...0

✭✭✭✭✭@stefaan.de.wasch1b16_ESO Not sure if you will see them in veteran but the Pact common zones are flooded with each public dungeon boss having four to six bots permanently camping the spawn.
It really is as bad as people say, try searching YouTube if you're curious there are no doubt a bunch of videos of them.@Turelus - EU PC Megaserver

I don't play Pact so I can't say either way... but on A.D. I have yet to see them...The statement "if you put enough monkeys behind enough typewriters... sooner or later one will produce the works of Shakespeare" has sadly been proven utterly wrong by the internet...0

SeñorCinco✭✭✭✭They aren't prejudice. Bots are in every alliance. Like @elvigy01 stated...It's simply not possible to go into public dungeons and NOT see bots.Words contained in posts, at which point I stop reading and will not respond...

I'm also in AD, and I haven't seen a single bot in a dungeon. And like you, I'm also VR. I did see a bunch of lvl 3-4 bots standing around in the main city of cold harbour, though.1 -

On a serious note, yes. It is an issue.

Nordak✭✭Because you have mysteriously not seen them doesn't mean they are not there. You troll every bot thread with exactly the same message.2

My guess is that, for some, it's how they got to VR in the first place.Why are so many VR players so defensive towards these bots?

Korusus✭✭Why are so many VR players so defensive towards these bots?
Lying for attention or truly naive about what a bot is and what it isn't. Since I think the bots are pretty obvious even to someone unfamiliar with the concept, I'll go with lying/trolling for attention. As if anyone has to go out of their way to find bots in this game...that's laughable.

Slash8915✭✭✭✭✭Why are so many VR players so defensive towards these bots?
We're not defensive about them. We just don't see them like the new guys do. I doubt many bots would have completed enough content to be in veteran zones, and we were able to get the early dungeons done before bots became a problem. We're not denying their existence at all. We're just saying we don't see them.

crush83✭✭✭✭Here we are. Yet another day has passed. I'm counting at least a week since the bots have hit epidemic proportions. Yet, still, nothing is seemingly done about it.0
-
Avorniel✭✭✭Well i've given up,will come back in a few months see how the bot issue is doing,I dont expect them to be gone 100% but at present it's just to many and this is in all 3 factions.It's not just this thats made me shelve the game at present but a multitude of things which in my view should never of got into the game...
anyways back on topic yes please get rid of the darn bots2 -
Scowler✭✭The bot problem cannot be overstated. Bots are overrunning every boss spawn, and are starting to infest the overworld. Quests can't be completed, achievements can't be completed, drops are becoming unavailable. The infestation is ruining an already troubled game. Please, ZO: wield your banhammer with righteous fury.1 -
n.englishb14_ESO✭✭✭Ok an admittedly stupid question coming from a console user.
But where do these bots come from, what gain is there to using them? Its not like eve online where goods can be converted to real money.0 -
Reenlister✭✭✭ah, they do convert them to real money. They use the bots to farm, then to sell gold and items on their websites. You know those spams you see for the people selling gold. Sadly, since so many people cant be bothered to actually play the game and earn items or gold, but would rather just buy it, so they can buy all the uber stuff they desire, they contribute to the problem, and keep it going in the state it is in.3
-
Xaegoth✭✭Yes, bots are a MAJOR issue. They have personally impacted me on several occasions...
With that being said, I am not sure what is worse...the bots or the hundreds of individual threads on them.
Seriously people, do a search. You will find PLENTY of threads to contribute to. You don't need your OWN thread.
What is going to happen (and probably soon) is the mods are going to start deleting threads on bots because they are flooding these forums. Then people will start complaining that Zenimax doesn't care and they are deleting posts on bots and only care about money, blah, blah, blah...
Again, VERY serious issue (one that if it isn't fixed, will probably cause me to cancel my sub), but it isn't an issue that needs 50 new threads a day on it.0
