Some photos of a small portion of the bots in this area. I would have posted the video as well but did not feel like editing out all the bot names, and I am sure it would have been removed for name and shame. Figured I already put way more work into combating this issue than ZoS will so why spend more time on it.

They destroy the economy and destroy places real players are trying to farm i use to farm a place in Bangkorai then bots showed up and ruined it i reported them and about after 6 months zos finally did something about them but instead of figuring away to remove them zos nerfed the spot where the bots was at and ruined it for everyone now the respawn rate where i use to farm is crap do to zos not being able to fix the problem the right way

- After completing a heavy attack, you have to press it again to start & complete another heavy attack.
Because the way these bots do it, someone gets something to keep the heavy attack button held down on their controls while just standing in the one place where they can hit enemy NPC's without moving, then since they are either using bows or staves, these long range attacks will cause their Unstable clannfears & winged twilights to react accordingly & do the NPC killing for the players. By making heavy attacks so that instead of performing them repeatedly by holding down the trigger, they perform one heavy attack & no more after that unless they press the button/trigger/key to perform another. This may also possess a benefit for attack weaving too.
@ZOS_GinaBruno this may be the best possible workaround to eliminating bots yet.
Also, @Jake1576 you think that's bad, try Camlorn in glenumbra before defeating faolchu, there are so many sorcerer bots there that it is not funny
Just Whent to camlorn to see how bad it was the bots have over ran that place also it'crazy i also seen a champion rank bot there i made sure to report that one it was the first time i had seen a bot have champion points it had 100Alpha-Lupi wrote: »One thing I figured out about bots (especially the bots that are sorcerers with summoned pets) the best sure fire way to eliminate their efforts in farming would be this:By making it so that you have to use the Heavy attack input button/trigger/key repeatedly by hand, it will eliminate a good percentage of bots as they will have to manually use heavy attacks manually instead of holding down the heavy attack button & being able to constantly spam heavy attacks which in turn allows sorcerers to do the killing for them lazily.
