Bot Farmers Are Ignored by ZoS

Zweible · January 2018

It is getting to the point that Bots ARE affecting regular gameplay for some of the players. ZOS needs to come up with some type of response better than they have now. When the bots start to hinder play for the normal folk, they WILL get frustrated and leave. Unfortunately, ZOS seems to be reactive instead of proactive. They will not put the effort into it UNTIL it starts to hurt the bottom line, and by then may be to late to undo the damage the bots are doing.

As said in this thread above, ZOS needs to leverage their greatest asset to fight bots: the players.

Their greatest asset is Crown Crate buyers. Now, if we can link Crown Crates to bots, I think we stand an excellent chance of either getting rid of them, or having ZOS start to recommend botting programs for us to use.

On a more serious note...

And it’s not like we’re talking about hundreds of bots, it’s just a few dozen. It’s not that much of a drain on the staff but it’s a HUGE step towards retaining players.

Yeah, we are talking hundreds of bots. Seriously. I keep track of them when I see them, by account name.

YO come on man "they simply choose to allocate their programming resources elsewhere"
Which means they don't have enough resources or people to do all the stuff they currently are doing (stuff they obviously feel they need to do) AND make all of these infrastructure and server upgrades.

They can outsource it. It happens every day in the world of development. ZoS themselves do not need to be the ones to implement better cheat/bot detection. Clearly they are not short on funds; just look at the crown store.

Every problem or issue is ignored by ZOS
