Players (bots) avoiding the new anti-bot system in dolmens

✭I'm more concerned by the fact that after you whispered to the bot it immediately stopped and logged out. There's a Skynet presence in ESO now - I'm sure of it.“Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt.”2 -
Skjoldur✭✭✭What triggers this anti-bot system? Is it being in a group and getting XP while being AFK?0 -

I'm saying that they should make it so you have to open the chest to get any XP. @CarbonX
Got you now. My fault, misread.
Allow me to disagree with that though, as I'm not in favor of modifying things that work correctly for normal/honest players because of bots or any other type of cheaters.

As far as I know, if you remain static in the same spot spamming a skill, blocking, or so, in or near the dolmen, you get red AoE below you followed by lightning damage that ends killing you.

Bot prevention is a never-ending arms race: the dev finds a method to detect and clear bots, the botters find a way around that method, the devs find a new method to detect and clear bots, the botters find a way around that method, rinse and repeat ad infinitum. Doesn't matter what game it is; this is just the circle of life when dealing with botters.
Unless ZOS had a GM to perma-ban a bot as soon as seen or reported. One, just one GM specifically hired/put on that task would do.
The GM would not even have to be that clever. Visit the Dolmens in each zone, then the well-known spots that are constantly reported, in some kind of cycle.
Done.
I would think even the most ardent botter would be deterred if they knew they could do all of that account and character set up only to be booted after 15 minutes.0 -

✭✭✭I've just seen a player (CP170+) that x'ed in zone so she was automatically invited to a group. Once in the group, she got into one of the houses near the dolmen (Alik'r), came out to the balcony and went a...
while still gaining XP from the kills the group down at the dolmen was doing.
There's the fatal flaw. Groups may want to do a little house cleaning if they pick up a bot, or go with a non-generic code to add. Could very well lose add-on functionality if this becomes a thing.Edited by driosketch on June 20, 2017 9:21PMMain: Drio Azul ~ DC, Redguard, Healer/Magicka Templar ~ NA-PC
