@ZOS - Suggestion to reduce *some* botting
So I'm coast harvesting in Rivenspire tonight for some crafting bits and I notice there are a few bots running around smallish loops harvesting. After a while there is a standard random spawn of a trio of dremora... normally I'd just smack them down and be on my merry way but as a bot was around I sneaked round and watched with some pleasure as they single hit the bot.
Obviously someone killed the spawn and the bot was back not long after but... gave me an idea...
As of now a level 3 bot can respawn for free so... how about they can only respawn for free in zones up to maybe level 8 or 9, i.e. not beyond the first main area of any alliance. That way any bot killed is not going to be able to respawn easily forcing additional intervention by the controller. it's not perfect but it might be an easy way to make life harder for botters.
Equally making random spawns a little more random in location might help.
