My god its full of stars(bots)

Manfzain · April 2014

Hi,

I went skyshard hunting in the lower level areas, specifically Auridon and the dungeons were infested with bots. And I mean a lot, in one dungeon there were at least 12 in 3 different groups. Reporting all of them is impractical with the current tools, what is Zenimax going to do to address this issue?

Thanks,

Manfzain

Probably nothing. Today I reported 4 people in a level 35 area. The bots move higher and higher as they level up and I am not sure if Zenimax sets priorities right.

I can wait another week for Craglorn if they let somebody sweep through the dungeons multi-banning the botters. I mean it's so damn obvious. And if they hit a false ban they will surely get a report ticket and can investigate.

I doubt the gold sellers/botters will write tickets once they get busted.

I was just in Ilessan Tower. I was confused at first, so many people there, till i realized it was same 4 running around and hitting walls and trying to climb walls names of strings of letters, I just gave up. I was going to report till i realized there were 4 in front room. Just turned around and left.

My list of 100 ignored gold sellers didn't get smaller for 4 days now. Seems the accounts are not going away.

Something needs to be done about this , I could stand bugs here and there but bots and gold sellers needs some fixing .

Okay jesus, i think the gold sellers and bots are the least of the problem. Give them a break, dont you think its more important to fix mail duplicating and oh i dont know, a lot of quest bugs, skills that doesnt work and glitches??

If they arent dealing with bots atm and are focusing on bugs then, i would say, they are priotizing EXACTLY as they should!

The developers actually do have to BREATH

This is my generic message I add in all my reports now, I hope they get my point. :P

Gold Seller via Chat.
Please give us a Right Click > Report Gold Seller option which sends an automated mail and ignores the player making our reports faster.

I was too in a dungeon in Auridon it was a level 12ish dungeon I believe I was with a friend doing a quest and came across 4 toon's at level 7 jumping into walls etc. I reported 1 and took Screens, I then got to the boss room and there again was 2 lots of 4toon groups just picking off mobs not actually the boss so I said to my friend "watch this" and I stood behind the bot's and aggro'd the boss and as soon a he was close they all started attacking him but I knew they were too low level for the place and the boss killed them all and I finished off the boss lol but then they all instantly respwaned as if they all have soul gems.

how can you let this game in the first week get this bad I understand that the game is going to have issues (bugs) for the next month or so but allowing bots and gold sellers at such magnitude to be present is not acceptable they are ruining the game for everyone gold spammers can be ignored but bots can not. Sort it out Zenimax I think you need to look into your security etc.
I sure do hope they fix bots asap

I was in Ondil Sat. and saw 10 bots all in starter gear going back and forth down a hall killing respawns. I went in again on Sun and they were still there.

As far as bugged quests go I've only seen a few and relogging fixed them ever time.

I've seen the damned teleporting resource harvesting bots, hate those things and I always report them.
