Strange player behavior
So I was in Auridon last night (PS4 NA), and in some random house in Shattered Grove I find another player on top of a dresser swinging his maul against the wall.
After completing some quests and an hour later, I come back and the player is still there, blindly attacking the wall.
3 second video here:
What is this? A bot of some sort?

mtwiggz✭✭✭✭✭If it is a bot I'm not quite sure what it's "botting" unless it's script went haywire while the player is gone.
Typically you'll see bots at NPC spawn points light attacking for easy XP, or scripted to walk a farming route picking up runes, mats, etc.
This is a bit odd. Maybe the player took too many shrooms and is destined to destroy the mighty Wall Boss. You never know...4 -

With the ability to "jail break" or "unlock" consoles now a days pretty much anything you're capable of doing on a PC can be done on a console. I don't play ESO on console myself but I'm sure players are figuring out ways to do similar things on that platform as well.
As @Ruben said, he's probably just AFK and has a button held down. Used to do that on games myself instead of having to go through all of the load screens and the like again.
I still hope he's trying to kill the Wall Boss though, that's a much better story.1 -

KICHZY✭✭✭✭You can't use bots on console so that can be ruled out, the most obvious case is that he used something on his controller to stop himself from logging out. He's probably just waiting on Activity finder to work and decided to jump on his PC or something whilst waiting lol.
Done this from experience
