Rowr!!!

ETA: Part of transparency is being SEEN to do what you say you will do. This is a big mark in that column.

And now there are two bots running the same path, EXACTLY the same one!

This is a very good step and they need some time to get rid of them...I'm sure everyone cheers when they see a Ban-Hammer wielding GM go into a dungeon.

(Sorry...had to do it)

Seriously though...thanks to ZoS for the visible and invisible effort...(I still think players could be recruited at zero or minimal cost for this as well!)

These companies avoid volunteer programs.. strongly - because back in Ultima Online, someone in the upper levels of the programs Set Hours for the volunteers to work-- in response the volunteers asked to be Paid since.. hey, they were working shifts .. right?

Anyway, it ended up a lawsuit.. was settled out of court, but has forever made volunteer programs in MMOs one of those things that are approached with intense caution. (and generally avoided all together)

It began with a Single report of a GM informing everyone in a dungeon to get clear, then killing the bots.
But there was One set of images - somehow taken at points to perfectly tell the story, and no in-game rumors or accounts.

Now a couple of others have begun claiming similar...

So please tell us this is true -
Do you now have GMs actively banning the BOTs and gold spammers?

*crossing my fingers*

..since this so -called banning action has been " rumored " I have a lil sum sum to say on it:... I have stood all day and watched the very same bots that I have reported time and again but, now theyre reaching higher levels because they NEVER GOT BANNED "tuseew" ( off the top of my head for example and @ this current phaze ) is one of the MANY "runners" ( and even sometimes the farmer too ) that cash in the "loot" made from the farming bots in the stonechewers goblin camp and runs the circuit from stonechewers goblin camp to the north gate merchant ( wayrest)..runs in tandem usually with "thrss" ( and several others as well )....included a zillion SS and reports..all that was EVER done is eso to send me a survey about "how great did they do fixing my problem and please rate them"..same bots are STILL there every day...same people operating the "runners" everyday.....75-150 report confirmations from eso in e-mail every morning of everyday since start-up ( early testing as well )...so..wheres this so called mighty ban hammer that was supposed to get em?.....bots I saw and reported when they were level 2-3 are now 33 or higher and STILL in game...so again; wheres the mighty ban hammer?.....does it REALLY take you folks over a month to "look into" bots that were reported at start up?...because theyre mostly all still here..inside and out...just being moved around..nothing more.....

This is great news! So glad to know the in game presence is there. Looking forward to the clean up progressing.

Hellz yea they're real, had a nice chat with one of them in Coldharbour yesterday. Was a thing of beauty to go back to the Hollow City and find it free of lvl3's named dafljkewarjladfljawetolid running around in Soul-Shriven outfits.

And the 30+ lvl 3 Khajit standing at the city's entrance all atop one another, so many that their combined shadows formed a perfect black circle on the ground beneath them?

Poof, gone, done

Let the bot genocide continue

Lol..so ZoS sends GM in to kill bots, and people still aren't happy?
Yet I will expect to spend hours in load screens if I join a group in Cyrodiil, Nice Work to all the GREEDY players of the community...Gratz hope you get a crappy green item for the thousand bot threads out there

They sent A GM, not two, or three, or four, but only one GM to deal with a megaservers bots? Thats not much of a solution when the bots are back 5 minutes later.

Well I haven't been able to join a group in a week...so boo hoo!!!
Wait I bet your next response will be to tell me to quit the game I paid for and not ask for results

Because when people can't group in PvP it drives me crazy listening to all the greedy players.
PvP'rs get screwed enough with zero xp...but to make it so they can't group either?
Enough with all the BOT THREADS when people can't play the game.
Is that simple enough on why I posted here? Or should I post in the other thousand greedy SPAM threads also?

As critical as i am about this game at times, some of ZOS actions really make me believe that they could get this game on the right track.

Didn't see any bots in the last dungeon I was farming. Nice to see things starting to get done. The war on bots is gonna be a long, never ending one. At least Zeni is starting to take the fight to them tho.
