XBOX Botting Accounts Banned

ZOS_Kevin · May 20

Hi All. Earlier this week, we proactively identified and banned a large group of Xbox ESO accounts that were being set up to begin botting activities. Please continue to report bot farms to us so we can continue to action them. Thank you.

Awesome to hear this! I don't play on Xbox, I play on PS/NA and for years there has been thousands of farm bots on our server. I haven't seen them for almost a year now. I figured you guys have set up ways to catch them before they roll out now. Glad to see you guys are proactive on removing these accounts.

They're not as effective or efficient on console, but they have the advantage that they can repopulate as quickly as they get banned (ie.. install ESO on a PS5, and you can have unlimited accounts using that one single install). Now with Xbox play anywhere, bots can be much more versatile and effective because running on a PC it's much easier to do more than simply emulate controller inputs. Though I'm not fluent enough in all things Xbox to know how it affects the ability to repopulate with shared access to the install like it can on console.

I did notice there wasn't any level 3 farm bots with random letters and numbers for a gamertag taking all the resources in the starter zones, I hope you can find a way to stop it from happening again. I used to make all my gold farming materials in Betnikh before it got overrun with clankers, now it's not worth the time since they've flooded the market.
