Heres your warning. And maybe its not new, idk, but i havent seen this for all that long. Maybe a month or so. Personally im not huge into trading so the bots dont concern me as much as others. However i dont think they're good for the game. This might not even be a bot but if not its something similar.
So a low level character runs up to me. This isnt the first time, actually it happens a lot in craglorn. All they say is please help me, or some one line whisper. They will invite you to a trade and offer some random materials that might have taken them 5 minutes to farm. Maybe work like 3-5k in a trader if you took your time to sell it at top dollar.. They will keep saying please help me (or whatever) and the price (like 10k)... And whenever you ask them anything or try to talk to them they just repeat the same thing. I suspect its someone who doesn't speak english or some kind of bot.
Do not help these people. The dead giveaway are the names. Something like "Hibob332244" with a character name like "yyhdte"... This is not a low level that needs help. This is a bot or a bot like scammer. They arent asking for a handout, they're offering materials they farmed quick. Materials that they could sell for half the price on a trader or have some nice person give them double the money for it because that nice person might feel bad for a low lv and maybe we can use the materials. Like i said, this has happened to me many times in craglorn but after seeing it 3 times tonight i kind of put some things together. Doubtful its breaking tos but its a *** thing to do. I like helping new players but this is just obvious and stupid.
