Just look what 10+ bots do in Rivenspire...

Whole group running in a circle, hitting the same waypoints and the same abilities.

Why there is no active Game Masters online dealing with this garbage?
They are leveling like crazy, even during that 3 minute video...

    There are active gamemasters, they're doing what they can. It takes time. Go complain to the people who decide to bot, they are the ones who ruin it.

    However ZOS have a responsibility to their subscriber's to deal with this and from what I can see their way of doing this is by encouraging them to move from dungeons out into the open field.

    And please do not assume by this comment I am not pleased with this game. On the contrary, this is the best game I have played in years, however the bots are a plague and all we are getting at the moment are Band-Aids ...

    It takes time? They have been reported multiple times by now.

    At least introduce "automated gameplay exploit" category in report system or something, it's almost impossible to report them quickly and effectively. It looks like nobody cares about it by the way this is being handled.

    Exactly the asame here as Incarnatus said, I love the game and I can put up with bugs and all the things that aren't working properly, but this garbage is the only problem I have.

    Just had a look at the same location. Still the same group is running in a circle. Some of these bots are now lvl 30.

    It will take a lot of time, because they are not blocking accounts. I still have the ones killed by gm on my ignore list. I made place for them just to check it out. After a week, they are still there, can whisp them.

    Try reporting it again, if it doesn't help ask to escalate the problem.
    Also inform your friends of the problem, maybe they will have a GM in zone with them, when you are not around and will pass it to him.

    Why aren't they blocking accounts? Should be obvious they need to block accounts >.<

    I would like to give You an answer - but as I'm required to think in my job, I'm unable to follow ZOE GM's logic standards. Truth is, accounts are not banned, only characters are removed in this "GM killing spree fest".

    Publicity stunt, nice one, but empty, without actual effect.

    So it's a waste of your time and our money.
    You are getting payed to do pointless task that has no effect and only allows this vermin to keep accounts and adapt to whatever prevention methods there are in place and walk around them again.

    If this is the way to deal with this it is a bad decision, it will only bleed money and time of people that could be doing something else.

    Open World PVP would stop it :)

    the obvious answer is block China from connecting, I'm sure their government would appreciate it anyway.

    EULA Should stop it. They are braking EULA.

    They should be banned.

    Maybe with the cancelled subs and all that the bots now outnumber the players so they allow the both hoping at least some of them will pay the sub fee....

    Wow, that is just absolutely ridiculous.
  • caryhammub17_ESO
    Thing is they make money on the box sales, so banning a bot is great for them, since the bot company will just buy a new box. Who cares how they pay as long as the transaction goes through and they get their money.

    My suggestion is to trace transfer logs of items and coin from any bot they have banned, to kill the supply chain. Yes I know they may catch a not bot player, but really, you did a deal with a bot, you took stolen goods, or bought gold.

    Burn'em at the stake too.

    So nothing has changed, just went randomly to the same spot. there is about 10 new bots running the circle of farming. They are farming with sorcerers now.

    GJ ZOS, keep working on Craplorn addon, it's the most important thing, 0.1% of people that hit lvl50 in one day is the core population of the game, have to keep them playing...

    Between you and me, I'd rather they prioritize the general lag that is prevalent everywhere in the game. Bots ruin experience on that single spot in the game, lag ruins experience on every minute you're in the game
