+1 also encountered this, was also annoyed by it. Being able to block their invites would be great.

Just wanted to post a perfect example of the bot in action. This is at Vulkhel Guard. It just sits in that little corner facing the wayshrine all day and night. Spamming the invites to that guild.

They caught me yesterday in Daggerfall. They were standing right on the wayshrine. Of course I declined their invite.

I was part of the said guild for some decent amount of time, they were always trying to push me to become a recruiter and download an add-on to spam invite people at cities, I always refused since I thought it was a waste of time, but some people will accept doing free labour just to acquire some kind of status within the guild, when they're actually just their serving bots.

I ended up getting enlightened of how narcissistic and cult-like their leadership are when there was a minor discussion within the guild about parsing, pretty much just 2-3 individuals talking about how pointless parsing is, and I politely tried to explain why players parse and how it helps improve builds and rotations, a few minutes later their leader joined the conversation with the intention to end it, and during so he also pointed why parsing is important, and I made clear that I agree with every point he made.

5 minutes later, they kicked me out of the guild and I was asked to contact their leader, he tried to explain to me what a "toxic casual" is, accusing me of doing the thing the other 3 individuals were doing, I explained to him that he mistook me for someone else, and that I was on his side of the discussion, but he neglected my argument, said he had proof (it was a straight up lie since I asked them to provide it multiple times and was either ignored or insulted), said I was "playing dumb", they only wanted me to apologize for something I didn't do just to not admit a mistake.

Months later I got invited to the guild again by one of their bots, I accepted for laughs just to see what they'd do, another officer talked to me and I told her the whole situation, she was acting super nice and said she would look into it, the next day once she was told who I was she gave me the back of her hand and was completely rude as every other officer, it's almost like they are brainwashed.

I could keep going on and on, and even talk about their "events" that are just made to leech their our members, I also know several former members and even former recruiters who got discarded and treated like trash once they got busy irl and stopped serving them, but that's their own stories.

Either way, they're definitely the most toxic guild on PC-NA, and it's not even close.

I would like to note there has been a change in how a few guilds are recruiting. I’ve been getting direct messages at wayshrines from people asking to join their guild.

In one case they were offering money to join them and help beta testing a different game… that report when no where.

Hi all. When you see instances of this, could you take a screenshot and place a ticket. And then share the ticket number here as well. That way, if some of these are bots, we can take care of them. If these are other players, then we can also have a chat with them to see what is going on. We want to reduce harassment where possible and being able to properly identify issues is the first step for our customer service team to assist.

@ZOS_Kevin
260128-002388 is the recent ticket I submitted that has a screenshot of the account in Auridon that is bot spamming invites.
