sorry for adding another post about it. I don't have the time to scout other peoples issues. But maybe then by making more noise it can get resolved faster.

It's also not necessarily targeting the boss. There were about 20 or so of ferwfe and their friends in a dungeon I was in last night (and a handful outside that hadn't got in running into walls because they were getting the same commands) alternating between killing two groups of two mobs. I guess they get more drops killing 4 monsters than competing with players using knockback against a boss.

It's somewhat preferable, but still brings inflation to the game, is immersion breaking, and results in gold spam, gold selling and hacked accounts.

So i'm to believe that zenimax has nothing to do with this, those are around 20 accounts there or w/e, you're telling me them selling 10k/3€, and getting banned constantly actually makes them a profit?

How the hell can you even make a profit if you ban them often?

Cmon.... this is not slander or anything, but logical assumption, no way on earth you pay 40-60$ for multiple accounts to farm with then sell 10k/3€.

I saw to groups of about eight toons, running in a line, from one non-boss mob to another - doing a circuit around the (outdoor) area in Deshaan. (Deshaan is a level 18 to 23 or so area.) Until then, and with over five days of playtime (type /played to check yours), I'd never seen this.

As I was just finishing a couple of quests "they" didn't really affect my game then - except for the immersion breaking wtf?! factor. If/when I see them in an area that I'd get good experience in, well, if it's rare I'll keep playing. If it becomes a bigger problem and is slowing my progress I'll likely quit.

When bots are killing mobs in dungeons and outdoors, you are missing experience. Even if you did not need or want those mobs they are there for you to clear to your quest/boss objective to gain that extra intended experience.

As it is, many areas are invested with bots killing those mobs you are supposed to be clearing yourself thus gimping your character.

I don't care what people say about multiboxing, I see no difference between auto-followers and bots.

It's one thing to control two or more toons individually. It's a whole different thing to replicate one command for several accounts. It does NOT involve a player, but rather some keyboard command replicating software. It looks weird. It breaks immersion. It promotes farming without the corresponding effort, i.e. unduly rewards multiboxers vs. people who actually control their toon or even multiboxers that don't use auto-followers (assuming there are any). And it's an invitation to real-money gold selling.

I can relate to ZOS' dilemma because these multiboxers pay for each account. But personally I'd be very happy if they expressly forbid auto-follow in their ToS and ban the sh*t out of these creeps.

But there is no auto follow, so bots must be doing something different. That was a pretty important tool for multiboxing botting

That is precisely my point. The kind of multiboxing I've seen in ESO is basically indistinguishable from botting and should not be allowed.
