Speed Hacks

k9mouse · May 2014

Just now, I saw Gold Farmer bot running on the land at super fast speed and just a few feet away from the iron ore crafting node, he went underground just enough that his head is shown, he mine the node and ran off at super fast speed again. He is going so fast, that is walks on top of water of the near by lake for a bit before he falls back on the ground.

Where is the best place to post this so that ZOS can see it? Already did an ingame report on it as well.

Then you've already done it. You really aren't allowed to post the persons name or images of him, as it violates the CoC about 'Name and Shame'. You can report it in game, and they DO look into it. I've had a few occasions I reported a bot and seen a GM within 30 minutes.

The trouble is that the bot was so fast could not get a screenshot or a name...

I don't know how to report those, but possibly sending an in game report with the node location he used with the exact time may help them in researching it, to see who was there at that time.

I saw one doing that up around daggerfall
bots up around baelborne are getting bad - same with develyn mills
- mining underground as well - just the sword sticking up from under the surface

lot of them have lots of stamina - so it's hard to keep up and tag some of them

2men 3men 4men bot trains
and then the flash - as I call the one underground bot - saw him zoom like a flash and into a cliff - I tagged a few underground ones just as they hit a node

Yeah I am seeing the same thing in Davon's Watch all around the open areas. There are either 3-10 bots per node, bots speeding from one node to the other, flying in the air or partially underground speeding around. I hate to even try to explore anymore cause all I see are bots.

Use this addon for speedy reporting of these cheaters.

Yeah if he's going THAT FAST it's a cheat, not even a Bosmer with the Steed stone can run on water.

Because the server-side engineers are incompetent or simply don't care.

Server-side validation isn't something new to MMOs.

Hey now! Show some respect! We do not know all the details and every MMO is different. It does take time to patch the holes / bugs. ZOS need data to figure how to best fix those holes and bugs. ZOS does care!

Gold Farmers bot used to be much faster, but ZOS did nuke much of their power. Now, they are just going fast enough to stay under ZOS's rader. Just wonders how they are doing that and how can ZOS stop it from happening.
