Looks like bots

Looks like a bunch of bots farming scraps/gold off the werewolves, kerbol hollow. Xbox na.

A clump of characters all 'home' from a spot next to a rock, run a lightning form circuit blasting area effects, and return to 'home'. Sat and watched for a bit, tried to disrupt to see their reaction, but the timing is down to the fraction of a second. As in, the toon drops the AoE lightning on the mob location less than a quarter second before it respawns, again and again and again.

    A good way to disrupt bots, is to lead other mobs into their aoe's.

    Okay, bring a mob out of pattern, to the 'home' and they do nothing as it claws them dead.

    Most players seem like bots to me nowadays.
    They certainly act the part.

    Speaking of bots, I had a weird experience one.

    I was hunting resources in Hew's Bane(A large amount of them). I found an area real rich with nodes and I bee-lined to all off them, whilst someone was apparently trying to grab them but was slower than I and missed them(Had no idea someone was following me). After this I went to a node and I had a blue effect appear on me with no status added, the effect looked the same as when you are granted immunity in IC. It lasted about 10 seconds and during the effect I could not interact with anything, including the node, and I could not use skills. When the effect disappeared I could harvest the node normally.

    Could that have been some anti-bot cheating thing or some bug?

    On PC I'd say it was probably the anti-cheat program if you did this recently. Don't know for sure though.

    As for console players "botting" it's most likely multi-boxing.

    I am on PC, I wasn't banned or even notified of cheating, I just couldn't interact for 15 seconds. I didn't know if maybe the guy following me missing the nodes reported me or not for "botting" or speed hacking, but again I wasn't notified at all.

    Maybe you triggered one of those traps. They are around, and stun you for a few seconds.

    Unless you are going to claim that I have videos of a person who had a controller in each hand and another being used by a foot, you shouldn't propose that theory.

    Yeah it would have to be multi-boxing because you literally can't bot on a xbox anymore lol..
    Before when J-Tags were a thing you would see differences in FPS and other MMO(s) that were available at the time but now it's pretty much impossible unless you're offline and ESO is an online game.

    There's nothing preventing a person from plugging a usb cord from an Xbox into a laptop and the laptop simulating a controller, sending commands to the Xbox.

    People needs to learn history. Decades ago when electronic stock trading was first began, a guy took the special computer that was for placing stock trades and hooked up dozens of keyboards to it. Then mounted about 40 motorized fingers to each keyboard, one for each key, and hooked those many hundreds of motors to his own computer - programmed it to make super fast commands. All those hundreds of motors hammering, reports said it was like an unending roar of thunder in the room.

    If you say botting cannot be achieved on an Xbox, you need to learn some more history and think more creatively. And check google, there are methods to do it for sale if you can't build it yourself. Try not to insult me again.

    I don't know about the blue effect (I play first person view, so wouldn't necessarily see it), but if I try to access a node that someone else has beaten me to then I get the "Someone else is using that" notification but also get locked out from accessing anything for a while. I've found that pressing Esc a couple of times will free me.

    Hardware hack. Derp. http://www.cinemablend.com/games/Destiny-Player-Creates-Bot-Play-Him-69569.html

    Things *do* exist beyond windows and apple os. Take a look at Ubuntu, maybe dig up a copy of beos or one of the other old operating systems. Learn things that are outside the current 'box'.

    I'm only 41 years old and if I can't retire in 25 years because too many kids still haven't pulled their heads from their rear ends, then I am going to be very very pissed. The things said by Joe / Max / Dead in this thread make me very worried that I will be stuck doing the thinking for a long long time.

    I may've seen the same bot in glenumbra. Needless to say xbox has zero tolerance on botting & you don't even have to deal with zenimax to get rid of it.
    -Go to your game dvr, set your capture time to 5 min & record several cycles of the accounts actions.
    -Do the test as Ackwalan had you do & record in the default 30s clip.
    -copy the gamer tag of the account into xbox's search, report the account there.
    -Link & explain the context of the two videos with the embedded link from your xbox dvr.

    It shouldn't take more then a day for that bot to be taken care of.

    Must have been that, I guess. Only reason I thought it was some sort of anti cheat was the fact that during the effect I was not in combat but it could have just been lag.

    The people saying BOTs cannot operate on XBONE are in for a rude awakening lol.

    I assure you that it is possible.. With a laptop connected to it I am 100% positive.

    I myself have and will not EVER do it, but it can be done.
