    If I did it (do I have to mention that I dont do?) I would send 4 bots into a dungeon, probably of the same class or maybe 2. Basically 0 risk of getting caught.
    Problem is that you need to navigate an path trough all of them and kill mobs and bosses. Most 2 dungeons has mechanics who would kill you unless followed as dps will be low.
    If you could do that sending the same group to skyreach would be simpler as its an short route and you can pretty much spam ultimates and AoE,
    Why low dps? Such group may consist of unkillable tank, healbot and 2 dps with perfect rotations which will
    nuke everything in normals in seconds.

    Farming overland mobs was one thing. But now they’re doing normal dungeons? Yea that’s crazy

    I think you over estimate the power of bots. Bots are very limited in function. If they could make a bot that was good, they would, and it may go unnoticed.

    They are put there to gather gold / experience / mats. In the case of this situation I suspect it is XP farming with random normals, and perhaps Transmute crystals.

    Once i was grouped with a naked khajiit Vampire cloaking through the whole Dungeon while the Rest was Killing the mobs :D

    Ha! I did something kinda similar once, but in a Public Dungeon. I followed some players, but always in stealth. Any time they engaged some mobs, I leapt out of stealth, slew all the mobs as fast as possible - preferably before they damaged any, then returned to stealth and hid around the corner. Any time they followed me around the corner to say they saw me, I corrected them and told them they could not in fact see me because I was in stealth.

    Edit: "No, no, this one is in stealth so any beliefs that this one might be seen or spoken to are mere illusions. Now more silence please so the two unaware marks in the next room can be found again."

    No new crafting or game systems for 2019? "Season of the Dragon" would be better named "The Year of no New Major Features"
    https://i.imgur.com/TPscgS9.jpg to see major features of the last few years compared.
    https://i.imgur.com/X8qY0gP.jpg to see a detailed comparison of this year's Q1 to the last two Q1s.
    https://i.imgur.com/4z71cK8.jpg to see a detailed comparison of each years' first two quarters combined.
    https://i.imgur.com/jrHe5h8.jpg to see a projected comparison of the full years and what 2019's Q4 will need to catch up.
    Unsubbed January 15th, 2019 due to the lack of any new substantial features shown to be coming in 2019.

    I would think of 4 magpler offtanks, healing by jabs and so. Basically slow, but unkillable.

    he said no rotation and lite heals
    Well you could add an macro rotation or program into bot but it would still be medicore and not very responsive.
    The real issue is mechanics including stuff who is not an issue for players like falling of the bridge in wayrest.
    Does the bot know how to get up?
    Again Skyreach would be much simpler and you could focus on AoE and ultimates.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.
