Bot found in a dungeon

This isn't a game bug per say. But I don't know where else to put this.

Reported it in game but thought I'd share two videos. We kicked him but he returned and was doing the same. He seemed to follow the group leader around, even when we changed it. He was running into walls all the time. PC / EU

    To me it looks like an afk player running a script to get a dungeon completion.

    Were they set as tank?
    Was this the pledge or possibly a random normal (for him)?

    I'd boot them as well but if they are set as a tank, they will just get another instant queue and clog it up for those that don't actually want to play with robots.

    Perhaps it's set up specifically to troll the dungeon tank queue?

    You need to censor the videos or you'll get this closed for naming and shaming. Showing @ names is a no-no.

    I don't know. I think bot is a reasonable guess, but I also feel like this is what it looks like if I'm (brain) afk for a moment in a dungeon. :#

    A script, bot, whatever it is, I doubt it's allowed. The person should be banned.

    Which character do you believe is the "bot"? And why?

    First, I do not see any markers above the heads of the characters that distinguish each one that is in the group and indicates the character's status (as leader or member).

    The character which seems to be tanking is using a destruction staff (whether the apparent light armor is an "outfit" that hides the actual armor beneath). Regardless, with a ranged weapon, it doesn't seem there is a reason to be so close to the Boss. Perhaps the "tank" periodically uses an ability that forces the Boss to attack them instead of other characters. In that case, a melee Boss will move within 5 meters of that character. (:wink:)

    Which character summoned the small clannfear? Apparently they summoned the Twilight Matriarch, too.

    Frankly, I would expect having a personal assistant summoned, such as the banker wandering around, would adversely affect performance unless, perhaps, the player has a rather high-speed connection.

    Which is to say, I have seen a lot of bots during the past 5+ years, but nothing about the combat in these videos is convincing with regard to whether any character is a "bot". There are other combat situations in which a "bot" is likely to be more evident. The vast majority of bots that I have seen farm crafting materials nodes. I have seen one bot which was farming wildlife in Auridon. It became tangled with a plant and could not move away, but continued making its combat moves.
