Zenimax - are the images of GMs taking action Real?

    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

    Have you ever had a job?

    Load times are an issue for Programming, people specialized in the programming language(s) used to Create the game itself.

    GMs are from Customer Relations... as much as I would like to say they're specialized in Nothing (okay, so I'm a programmer) they are expected to deal with Player issues.

    One has nothing to do with the other, and having one try to do the job of the other... well it wouldn't be pretty.

    A system broadcast announcement went out last night in Glenumbra that GM AntiBotty would be destroying bots for half an hour, requesting tell's from players who found any bots during that time. So it is definitely an ongoing process.

    Had my first experience in a public dungeon last night after you started doing these actions and I have to say it was incredibly refreshing to have ZERO botters standing around the final guy.

    The 3 or 4 of us that were there were stunned to see him standing around free.

    I did wait around for a while to see if anyone popped up and had the typical names, but there was nobody for at least 15 minutes. Whoo! Great job.

    Now I need to check out the low level public dungeons and see what they are like.

    Blah, Blah, Blah....not sure if you said anything useful, but that's just what I got from reading a few words.
    PvP'rs that can't even group have just as much right to ask for fixes before all the GREEDY players QQ'ing about loot....or is that too much to ask for ALL the money I spent?

    Whatever Zenimax is doing its working. The farm trains of 5 DragonKnights running around and bots camping in dungeons are gone in Bangkorai at least. Thank you Zenimax.

    I hope you understand that members are doubtless flagging you for trolling, which is a quick way to lose access to the forums.

    And since you bring it up..
    A Patriot understands Property Rights. That one's ownership of Property overrules the rights of anyone attempting to Use that property.

    In this case, the Forums are the Privately Owned property of Zenimax -meaning you have No rights of free speech here. You can say what they allow you to say, within the rules they proscribe.

    I doubt you'll be here much longer, but if you're going to try to derail others

    And I hope they are flagging you also like me...not trying to De-rail but give my opinion...I paid for the game like everyone else. So for you braking ToS policy and trying to get some one banned that you don't agree with...I say good day Maam
    Reported you for THREATS which is against ToS...but thanks for trying to silence me!

    They are mythical creatures, much like unicorns, but they are there. Always watching, waiting for the chance to pounce on the soulless, mindless ones.

    Well you trying to silence my opinion that I want PvP fixed before all these GREEDY threads continue...need me to elaborate any more?
    Or are PvE'rs so much better that your loot is more important than PAYING customers be able to group?

    Thousands of QQ threads for LOOT when people have REAL problems getting into game...Nice

    I would really appreciate it if the customer service responding to our tickets would talk the way you do... but with the second part of the text without the "we are sorry molag bal and his minions did this and that" or "some mudcrabs entered into our system, so that's why..." crap. They can learn a lot from you and your responses.

    Well it is good to hear. My fiance and I did a public dungeon last night just to complete that section of the map (we were above level and so it wasn't for drops because none dropped).

    We got to the boss and there were three botters and a dead player (mayhaps bot but this character did have a sensible name). The bots are getting smarter because it looked like they attempted to make some kind of name, but it was nonsense anyways. We watched for awhile to make sure and talked to each other( we sit almost side by side). These bots would kill boss and go back to their original place. Templars all three (forgive spelling). After watching for 15 minutes or so we decided to report them since it isn't hard to tell they were bots. We took screenshots (when reporting there should be a way to move camera to get a decent view on problems, but this is byside the point).

    Then one disappeared. We though maybe an invis GM, until the third bot reappeared. She rose up from the ground, and took her place (this would of made a funny video). They continued to bot. So two other real players came by and we chatted with them. I stuck up the lute and fiance struck up the drum and the other two players danced as we talk. We watched the bots for another oh say 15 minutes..The last thing one of them said before we headed out to repair our gear was this really messes up the game immerision.

    So we didn't get to see the GM and as of now my real e-mail isn't littered with bunches of emails from Zeni thanking us (I hope it stays that way). The mobs were level 28. But be warned some bots are trying to come up with names. And these were bots and not human players.

    We don't Disagree about fixing PvP.
    But..

    Programmers - Fix load times, PvP systems, etc.

    GMs are not programmers.


    And the threads asking GMs to ban Bots do not in any way stop the Programmers fixing those things.

    I'm greedy for only wanting to get in a single group in over a week? That's the only thing I want...LOL
    Just to be in one group in PvP...is too much to ask for my 60$ and three month SUB?
    Or am I being too GREEDY?

    That's not what I believe makes you greedy. What makes you sound greedy is slamming other peoples' wants/desires for this game and forcing your wants on them. You act like your wants are the only ones that are important.

    You not being able to group in PvP ruins your game experience. However, for someone who enjoys PvE, bots ruin their game experience. Both you and them are paying the same amount for the game and sub.

    Personally, I see both as an issue that needs to be fixed because I enjoy both PvP and PvE.

    5-6 bots is small potatoes. Last night in Rivenvale at Fell's Wayshrine literally hundreds came through during the 3 hours I stayed in place and reported. I went back by there this morning and they were still coming through there. It was anywhere from 1-4 spawning every 3 seconds, for hours and hours non-stop. I really wanted a GM there to see what I was seeing, and I filed over 100 reports last night. It would have been more, but they were coming in too fast to get them all :(
