Just remember; there are ACTUAL people (like myself) who will sit and farm the dungeon bosses, even if we do not reply to /chat (I'm usually in /guild chat tabs) but obviously I at least, move around, jump, etc etc (which bots do not do).

So don't just /report everyone you see farming a boss just because they do not respond to your chat.

The bots can, and some do - jump,move around, even talk.

As to reporting someone who Isn't botting - it doesn't matter. The only thing it does is bog the report system down by 1 extra ticket - because they aren't banning Actual Bots, so you're probably safe even if you Are doing so.

the node teleporting/hacking is getting ridiculous...I see several bots competing with each other, teleporting from node to node one after another and then poofing away.

How the hell does the ESO code even allow this? Find out how it's done and then stop it.

How? Simple... For some reason, Zenimax failed to apply the lessons learned by all the MMOs before them when creating ESO

The First MMO ever, the Realm was the first to discover that you can't allow the Game Client to have precedence when assigning character position/location - but ESO does.
- Making the ability to Warp/Teleport about as difficult as editing the Gold on your character on a single player game from the 90s. And with a dedicated (but still simple) program.. adjust movement speed anywhere from stationary to instant point-point transport.

The First 3D MMOs that had any popularity - realized quickly that you can't allow the Game Client to control object collision - but ESO does.
- Meaning a simple shift can allow a character to walk on the map as if it were 6' Lower, so they can harvest, do chests, etc.. without being attacked, seen, or Reported.
- Also allows more creative efforts to introduce Placable Stairs to access locations they shouldn't be able to - or portable holes.. allowing them to "fall" under the map and lose aggro or avoid detection.

Bots -- the whole premise here really. GMs in games of the past Drastically reduced the Bot activity in a short time.. and when/where they stopped, the Bots returned.
ESO - has none. (unless they added them last night, and the post above showing one at work is real.. but it looks extremely fake to me)

please simplify the inGame reporting function for BOTs. yersterday i saw 4, running in a group OUTSIDE dungeons and killing Dreughts. I spy them more than 5 minutes and I could not report them because wasn't able to click them. The Chars dont stoped moving around and they use allways the same routes. So the Bots are not only active in dungeons to kill the bosses!!! PLS simplify the report function for the Bots. I dont have the time and i dont want to waste my time to report 5-6-7 and more Bots!! i dont report the bots because it is to long process!!

If Only it were real

It's real, Mod has confirmed it on another thread.
GM's are going into dungeons, sending a brief warning, and killing everyone inside, presumably so that real players inside complain, while botters don't.
