Invisible Bots?

I spent 2 hours last night in the northern part of the rift, questing and trying to collect crafting resources. "Trying" because I managed to collect only 12 resource nodes in 2hrs! I saw perhaps 4 other people during that time actively gathering a resource, none were bots. I can spot nodes easily and have no issue collecting a reasonable quantity of resources in any other zone I have been in, bots or no bots. However this time things just didn't seem right;
1. I did not see 1 bot in 2 hours
2. I saw six additional nodes that vanished as I started harvesting (yes I know it can attributed to phasing but this is a high proportion out of the nodes i found)
So my question is; are the resource gathering bots now capable of invisibility or in some way controlling the phasing so they can't be seen?
Considering the amount of resources required to reach the higher tiers of crafting this is going to impact crafting severely.

They are underground.
They figured it out weeks ago, ZoE tried to fight them with code banning people who hang out under the world, but the glitches in the game caused legit players to fall through in places & get the ban hammer.
People screamed, wailed, & rightfully in cases of improper banning, cried in frustration; In response, ZoE backed off the implementation of it & now we have what we have.0 -

Synfaer✭✭✭✭✭If that is the case, couldn't ZoE transport some of those nasty fish found in the deeper oceans and let them run amok underground....4

THEY'RE UNDER THE GROUND!?! GAME OVER MAN, GAME OVER!...
yeah, they're under the ground. usually if you watch extra close you can see their heads poke up like a little groundhog when they harvest the node.0 -

There have been teleporting bots, invisi-bots and 'under the ground' bots since the very first week. In recent times I've not see any (instead I've seen literally scores of pathing bots in every lowbie zone) so I presumed ZOS had closed the door but obviously the hack writers have opened it again.So my question is; are the resource gathering bots now capable of invisibility or in some way controlling the phasing so they can't be seen?

iaintoff✭✭✭It is especially the case with the clothing materials found in nature. You see some cotton you jump of your horse you go to grab it and it disappears before your very eyes.
I was considering making a post but thought it was just a consequence of someone else picking it and the delayed time for server to respond then I noticed it happening when I was alone in the wilderness lol.
It's been hap pinging now for about 3 weeks, since the gm started turning up in zone.0
