    Dude, this game has epic issues with tons of bugs, poorly implemented features and poor engine optimization which need to be fixed before the free month expires or this game will go f2p faster than swtor.

    The bots are like the lowest on their priority list right now.

    Seriously? Should be the highest priority. They camped all over the place on spawns and you can't finish quests.....

    You may be right. I'm losing confidence in ZOS also.

    If your entire matter of "will i stay or not" is being decided by bots farming open bosses, then you are either very picky or you are no fan of this game.

    Good job fanboi! Drive away all the new MMO players and other folks who care about the game. It will be you and the other 20K fanbois who are around to see ESO go F2P. ROLF!

    Well, one thing that could be done, is to implement a counter, if a player stays inside a dungeon without moving more than 50 meters for 15 minutes (while attacking), logging the player out... If you're in a dungeon, and not moving, but attacking, surely you're botting... Beside, Farming non stop should not be allowed, it really degrades the experience of other players. :(

    But they do move! The bots are programmed to run to the boss and attack. I've seen a stack of 5 bots parked on top of one another that instantly run to boss and spam their big attacks, kill the boss in 1-2 secs, then stand where they ended up only to run to wherever the boss spawned next. They've gotten quite sophisticated.

    Other bots will run in a looped pattern, stopping where the mobs are supposed to spawn and autoattacking any enemy that happens to be on their way.

    From ingame chat it seems a lot of people are thinking that bots/gold sellers are being left because they have to buy the game for each account, which is generating revenue. I really hope that is not the case!

    If I was cynnical I could believe this! Oh wait I am cynnical!!... (or is that a realist?)
    They're not, the bots are running on compromised accounts, which means Zenimax is actually losing money on them.

    You have evidence of this? Inside information? Or is that an assumption portrayed as a fact?
