Bots ruining event in Betnikh Xbox NA

Armatesz · December 2017

So far I keep seeing bots trying to farm wolves in betnikh and I see people having issues getting the meat from them for the event and yesterday seen someone at it for over an hour before I had to help them with it. Too many of them are there atm.

zos need to start banning bots really fast before they completely ruin the game.

Why should bot farm the couple wolfs in an area there everybody would report them?
My guess is brainless players who tend to fail the "i'm not an bot" tests.

Last night over 100 of the bots were there.

I sent in some tickets and all I got was an email with instructions to block them on Xbox so I could ignore them. And that they were considering my report resolved because they can’t do much. So they probably won’t do anything about it

Only way anything is going to happen is if people stop subscribing and enough list this as a reason. If you complain and keep paying they won't even listen.

100 bots. I have seen a lot of bots in my time, but never in those numbers. Exaggeration, maybe?

That is just the canned message that goes out for all "player reports". That is not to say that they will actually do something about them, but I am just saying not to go by anything that the email response says.

Sadly, I feel that this is true. I think that they are hoping that people will just be "OK" with bots and cheating so that they don't have deal with it. Unless they have a solid reason, and that probably includes high level meetings with buy-in from management, finance, and marketing, nothing is going to change*.

* Edit: They do take out bots, and cheaters, but they do it in what appears to be a very relaxed and stress-free cadence. Some bots disappear right away. Other bots stay around like they own the place. (Like the King of Shadowfen on PC/NA)

This is like what? The 3rd or 4th thread about these bots at Betnikh on Xbox NA? It's clear that Xbox has no gamemasters or so very few to the point where it doesn't matter anyways. Xbox NA needs more gamemasters visible in game. Bots are running rampant and the cheating in Cyrodiil needs to be addressed with people working together across alliances to boost AP.

I enjoyed hearing that Zo$ told @ashl3y44 to "place the bots on your ignore list". Don't know if it is true but I hope it is, because it's funny. That may even be better than Zo$ telling console players "do not go there" when OrcLand was bugged and unplayable for almost a year.

Keep up the good work, Zo$!

Played the last few night and can confirm large # of bots at pretty much any time. So many sorcs and clannfears. I took some screenshots and had some fun posting them on the twitter and facebook posts... LOL. Yes, come enjoy the new life festival events where you will get frustrated attempting to complete them due to bots farming all the animals you need to kill. Anyway, I reported some on Thursday night and saw them plus more on Saturday and Sunday. reported again but im sure they will all be there through the event.

Probably around 110 or 120, kinda looked around and was counting otherwise I would not put that number down.

Huh. Never see it that bad on PC

There are no GM's for xbox or ps4. ZoS can ban accounts that are reported if they can prove it, but honestly theres no way they have the staff or interest in moderating this game to that extent.

I'd tell you to prove me wrong with something they have done in the past, but ive played/followed the game since release. Im sorry to say your just going to have to live with it =/

Bota get them gold tannins prices low, no hate please.

Cubagaming · December 2017

Yeah I stopped counting around 105 or so. They were causing the area to lag out so bad like worse than dolmens.

It is not that hard to farm them yourself if you do it.

randomkeyhits · December 2017

on PS4 EU as well but not in as high numbers

Kuramas9tails · December 2017

They were there a couple weeks ago on PS4 NA too. I was doing treasure maps.
