Again the bots

ArvenAldmeri · November 2017

So, I was walking around in Grahtwood, getting supple roots for those terrible clockwork city daily quests when I see train of players following the exactly same path. If one of them would get stuck on fighting other mob, he would not go straight to catch up with the rest of the train but would follow exactly same path of where they went until he would eventually catch up with them and then continue to go in train. I dont know if I can post screenshots here with the name and if I want to write a ticket I just for the god of me cant find fitting category. Accound issue? Character issue? Like what am I supposed to choose so I can add the screenshots there? There is really no category that makes sense.
@ZOS_GinaBruno I would really like to report these.

I think it's time for a "Bot observation" Category of its own.

If you hold interact on a player there should be a "report player" option from which you can choose bot/cheating.

Just did that, still there is no option to attach screenshots and I think screenshots is probably the biggest proof you can give.

They're not needed. If you just submit a ticket and post the ticket numbers in the thread it's normally enough.

The tickets to to ZOS to process, the ticket numbers posted mean any staff reading the forums can pick up on them and push them forwards.

Just post in your reports their name, userid, location, number of other bots with them (aprox) and platform and it should be enough for ZOS staff to find and nuke them.

I've also noticed the problem in Grahtwood over the last couple of days. Specifically the beach east of Haven/Brackenleaf and near the river south of Karthdar. Reported every one I could but every time I look again there's more. All gibberish names that are exactly 5 letters long, running in a uniform pattern.

Of the Zerg, you only have to get one or two of them. Just note the approximate number of the zerg in the report.

Thanks for tip!

Since only players are policing the botting problem, no wonder it has been on the increase and never dealt with properly.

Additionally BOTS are so blatant now because of this.

Another large train running around Glister Vale, Auridon. I understand that zos like to do big ban waves rather than banning bots regularly, but it's so frustrating to see them running around so many zones all the time.

Stros M’Kai over near the entrance to Bthzark. Saw four farming wolves.
