Y'know...I stopped harvesting nodes back in the stress test beta weekends. You get far more materials by deconstructing the armor drops you get, and you stand just as good a chance as getting upgrade materials when doing so.
Of course, this doesn't mean you shouldn't be reporting the bots every chance you get.
I am not spending a single penny on the game until changes are made to the game that I want to see.
1) Remove having to be in a guild to sell items to other players at a kiosk.
2) Cosmetic modding for armor and clothing.
3) Difficulty slider.
4) Fully customizable player housing that isn't tied to anything in the game other than having the correct resources and enough gold to build. Don't tie it to PvP, guild membership, or anything at all. Oh, make it instanced so as not to take up world map space, too.Zeni screwed this one up already.
Any /one/ of these things implemented would get me spending again, maybe even subbing.
If you haven't done already, make a report ticket in game with the link to your you tube video in it.
Then remove it from here because it falls under the 'no naming or shaming rule' sadly.
More than likely, the bots figured out what parts of the harvest code things spawn quickest on. I've seen iron nodes do the same thing in a cave. Hopefully this will get looked at and that the bots haven't gotten a code in to force spawn the nodes.

I think there's another thread about it because it's so bloody frustrating to watch bots farming when you can do very little about it. I seen a GM system message yesterday saying a GM was on duty and to please /w him if you see any bots, I thought WooooHooo I'm off to stonefalls man.... so I get there spend half an hour reporting bots to them, I didn't even know if my tells were sent properly as there was no confirmation, I double and triple checked the GM's name and that I was typing it properly, I also realise they would have been spammed with tells as well, but I didn't even get the satisfaction after about an hour of seeing one bot destroyed from the face of ESO but I did get to watch the Bull Netch Bot show hahaha
