I don't know if this is a new thing, I normally do vets and the occasional normal DLC dungeon.

I ran a few normals recently as I was leveling a toon, it was COH1. The dungeon was already active, as though a couple of the players had quit. Myself (Tank), and a DPS joined and caught up to the 2nd boss.

I noticed almost no heals and that one of the DPS had no rotation. DPS was reasonable, but that was because the DPS that joined with me was decent and was pulling the weight of himself and most of the other.

Both the Healer and the other DPS ran a similar course, essentially on tram lines. We picked up they were bots fairly quickly, as we walked forward they stutter stepped up with us. They maintained a position just behind us. The healer would primarily just block. I remember the name of the Healer bot as [Redacted].

Myself and the human DPS could not kick them because there was 2, the vote failed everytime. We asked them to say something to prove they were not a bot, silence.

I didn't post about it because, what if I'm wrong?

Anyway, just now, perhaps 5 days later, I had a dungeon (Moonhunter Keep Normal) with [Redacted], and that name rang a bell. It clicked after a wipe on the first boss. There were no interrupts, very few heals, but this time, [Redacted] was speaking utter garbage. Random lines and quotes, meaningless tripe, random comments, mostly in broken English, mostly unintelligible, the comments that were no gibberish were like, 'Oh look werewolves', 'Down with the Aldermi!', as soon as I recognized the name I tried to talk to it to see if I can get some sort of intelligent response, nope, it just continued the nonsense.

It was behaving like a bot, but it speaks to give the illusion of not being one. They are now botting Random Normals for XP.

Edit : I've removed the name with Redacted in the event there is a 0.1% chance it was not a bot. I will say the word 'Sally' was present within the name, just in case another may have come across this phenomena.
