Teleporting Bots (North American server)

This is my first try at using FRAPS to capture bots, so I apologize if it isn't perfect.

I was going to get the quest from Constable Agazu, when all of a sudden 2 people ported out of a rock. Since then, they have just kept appearing like clockwork.

Jibberish names, appearing in the same spot, turning towards the NPC, then disappearing, all within about 15 seconds or less.

I tried to report some, but there are just too many. So got FRAPS to record them, but since it's a trial (and sadly I don't have the money to pay for it now) it caught a few on what they are doing.

Hope this helps!

Go here to see video -- I removed the direct link so they are not 'named and shamed' directly on the forums.

    It's all over the game. Ignore 'em.

    Report them in game, not on the forum. You're breaking the CoC by posting them here.
    Is it better to out-monster the monster or to be quietly devoured?

    I guess having been booted out of the dungeons, they're falling back to farming areas with quick respawn times? I've seen packs of them (and yes, reported as many as I could, especially the leader they were all following) around Northpoint, in Rivenspire. They always seem to have names of random letters like, "inerhgjbds" or "kjahskrnwe".. Except the lead character. I won't post the name he was using here because of the no name & shame policy, but I made sure to leave a detailed feedback with screenshots on him and the others.

    Remove the name of the quest giver and location from title and thread ... server is fine.

    So how are we supposed to do this? Did you see how many there are?

    I get told one thing, then nope, don't do that, do this. Nope don't do THAT do THIS.

    There was literally 20 of them appearing and disappearing. There was NO WAY I could report them in game.

    Ugh.

    I'll make the link so it doesn't go directly TO the YT page, so they aren't called out on the forums.

    It's not the "naming and shaming" i was getting at but giving the location can offer a way for others to capitalize on this, good for you for pulling it up and wanted to report it.

    There is some rule on the forum which escapes me atm that forbids what i pointed out in your title.

    You're fine @cubansyrusb16_ESO I changed the title to reflect that.

    It's more that they want us to report the bots, but when we do it never seems to be the right way. It was suggested i should use FRAPS or the like to catch them doing something, because in all honesty, I doubt anyone here can report about 5 of them appearing in thin air then disappearing less than 15 seconds later.

    Hopefully putting a link to the video and not directly having it on the forums will be okay.

    I believe external links are perfectly fine @YourNameHere, bots are a pain and they are starting to branch out into different activities which is more fustrating.

    Not because they affect my gameplay, because i can ignore them, they are just an irritant.

    Again i just mentioned it to help you avoid any form of repercussions or an infraction, i don't disagree with you wanting to point it out and/or vent, im glad there are people who care enough to take an effort to record and post.

    Got me recordings of a new slew of bots. They're teleporting inside the inn then disappearing a few moments later.

    Below are the links to the videos I made of them. I did my best to report thm in game as well, but they are getting faster. So out of a group of 3 that appear, I can just grab 1 in a report.

    This might help.

    GM's have started appearing in the game.

    You don't have to come here and link your videos, although they are interesting, Zenimax will probably miss this post. F1 > submit a ticket > throw in your youtube link there. If you remapped F1 it's the big yellow ?'mark in the ALT menu bar along the top.

    Good idea! I will look into these things Gillysan.

    I looked into the Add On and it is awesome! I also did as you suggested, and added the links to my report.

    Thanks again!
