Before I get accused of name and shame, ufyjfj isn't a real name. I am just making it up as an example.

These types of players with letter mashing names (23wef, wfeugfue, 2refwsdfs) ARE bots and I'm positive of this. I made a similar thread before about how these players harass you all throughout Belkarth. They run up to you and spam you with trade invites, and if you decline, they send more. If you keep declining they eventually whisper you and demand 5-8k. You could run away from them from one side of the town to the other and they actually follow you. This is the bots' downtime when it is no longer actually automated, but controlled by a player trying to scum gold - and most often offload garbage mats.

The reason I'm positive they're bots accounts - the simple way I find out is going to Playstation's "Players Met" category, which will show anybody who whispers you in-game. 100% of the time this leads back to a PSN account with ONLY ESO, 1 trophy, and under language "Simplified Chinese." We all know the Chinese have been ruining MMOs since time immemorial and quite frankly all the other evidence from letter mashing names to the lack of activity on PSN shows it all in plain colours, these are not innocent normal players.

I am getting sick of these things happening on 3-4 times a week when I log in for writs. I am yet again requesting Auto-Decline trade because I am sick of the harassment. I am not gonna sit there wearing potato sack clothing to look poor so they leave me alone.

I have found a way to troll these bot players, when they send me trades I now decline and then immediately send them a duel request, they being the fools they are accept thinking it's a trade - but then stand still, being the bots they are, they are incapable of fighting with their weak characters, and thus each time they fuel my progression for Duelist. I had 0 duels in before I figured this troll method out. Give it another 2 months and I'll have all 100 done from this. Also while they're dead it gives me ample time to mount up and run far, far away.

Still, please add the feature to auto-decline trades the same we can with duels, because this gets goddamned annoying. I normally don't get too fussed about bots out in the wild - but this is different, this is actually targeted harassment and I'm sick of it. I do my part to report these people too - but it's not enough. It would be much easier to ignore them if they weren't pulling up the trade prompt on my screen.
