Someone in my guild said that Devs were hanging out at some Dolmens today to observe. Anyone see them? We're they kicking bots off?

    It would probably be a good day to catch bots as most players are grinding festival stuff . I have no idea if true though .

    Devs should look at dolmens while events like this. Bots may grind with 100XP buff...

    Yes they were at the dolmens in Auridon today. Maybe other places too, but that's where I saw them.

    Surely someone has pics? GM/ Dev sightings are like finding Bigfoot or ghosts.

    If someone took screenshots they would probably still find a way to have them blurry and out of focus :D

    "If you look closely at the screenshot, you can see a pale, blurry shape that appears to walk around the dolmen's perimeter. Infrared shows the shape gives off no heat. Our experts believe that this may be infact gamemaster activity.

    "Our team also recorded some electronic voice phenomenon while at the dolmen. You can clearly hear voices. Let's listen."

    Not to mention other people could post obviously photoshopped screenshots with a little Z on the name. Nobody would believe the legit screenshot because all the others are hoaxes.

    I've read it before but never seen it happen. I ran a few dolmens yesterday and the boss, every time, ran straight to the afk spot and wiped them out. Completely ignored the 50 people smashing him to pieces

    That's not a game master. It's clearly a bigfoot.

    Sorry to say I will add some depressing cynicism to this.

    If it's true then it's a start, but as past experience has shown don't expect meaningful change.
    When things like this blow up on the forums there is a token effort, cheering from the masses, then a month later its back to how it was but the community is passive "because they're working hard! Remember that one weekend of bans".

    Last time I saw one was in 2014 when I still played in NA.

    When botting just started.

    For the first time in months, I was at Iluvamir dolmen yesterday and there wasn't a single heavy attack spammer on the canopy or anywhere else. Not one. I actually ran by without my FPS dropping to crap. So if it was GMs - thank you!

    I can't speak for the EU server but I was here and witness to the the Bot Eradication sweep a couple of years ago where you spoke directly with GM's and reported the bots and they showed up and banished them to oblivion.

    You can upload it to image hosting site, like Imgur and embed the image here.

    I doubt that's true, but if it were if anyone 'saw' them they'd likely be wasting their time, wouldn't they?

    I'll be honest I am not sure if this is an agreement with my statement or a counter to it so I will try and stay neutral on the reply.

    To me that's a good example of their all in for a while then drop everything when the issue is solved. We see the same with so many issues regarding botting/cheating/exploiting. The issue builds and builds over time, then eventually it hits crisis point on the forums, ZOS swoops with up their fix or show of activity, the community cheers and says the war is won and ZOS are heroes, then they stop what they're doing and everything goes back to how it was but people don't care any more because it's not the hot topic.

    Wasn't really an agree or disagree, just putting it out there that actions have been taken in the past.

    Thanks for clarifying.

    Yeah I have been around a long while and seen the actions, I agree ZOS tries and does take action, they just seem to not take that step to set something permanent up.
