[Ebonheart Pact]Windhelm is being swarmed with speed hacking bots atm need a GM

Burrmab · May 2014

I am standing in windhelm right now and there has got to be 50+ speedhacking bots flying all over the city (literately flying) i cant report them cause they are too fast and they all look the same. id record it but i dont have recording software. A GM response would be great if possible asap (they are green skinned Argonians wearing nothing and insta leveling) They just keep coming. More and more are showing up at a constant rate. this is crazy!

Stand by for immediate action from the Customer Service and GM !

*crickets*

Don't worry Zenimax is on top of the situation and this will be all cleaned up in a matter of moments. What I mean is they will delete this thread : )

I agree. I have never seen this kind of Bot problem in any MMO I have ever played. I know other MMO's have them but this is ridiculous.

Same here. Not ever seen anything like this. Not even close. At this point, as much as I like this game despite the faults, I'd be okay with them just suspending it for a month while they deal with the problem somehow.

No sub-based game can survive this sort of crud. I'm as big a fan of this game as can be but when my 6 month sub is up this better all be gone.

Burrmab · May 2014

Im scared for this game now. I mean i really love it and its everything i want in an mmo but i cant support a game that allows this

You've played ESO and spammed the forums for the past 6-7 hours with your "omg everyone look at me i'm unsubbing posts/threads" whilst at work? so really your not working...

Atleast you have unsubbed I guess that's always a bonus, please don't renew.

Like seriously *** YOU - report this I do not care! I was and still at work and reading forums, after reading this one log in to see it for myself live. God I wish it was ignore button on the forums too.

What happened to the stream ?

Never mind its back on here . . .

They are leveling probably to take advantage of perks like hireling apart from farming exploitable nodes.

This is the best that could happen to the game. We are swarmed with bots and ZMO does not even give a damn.

steveb16_ESO46 · May 2014

My guess is they do give a damn but they simply cannot figure out how to stop it. The things that make this game bot-heaven are fundamental features of the game and the underlying technology.

If I was a ZMO honcho now I'd probably be frozen in panic as I watched a continuous stream of bots fall from the sky like that.

it's like the climax battle in the avengers movie. Minus any super-heroes on our side of course.

this is gonna go public very fast and it depresses me allot cause i love this game and ZOS for making and amazing game but if this going public forces their hand im all for it.

Unfortunately I think you are right. You cannot reputation-manage or hand-wave away what's going on now. Not at this scale. You actually have to deal with it.

I love this game and I'm rooting for ZMO. Do what it takes guys.
