New BOT reporting function needed

Phantax · May 2014

Yes I know this is 'another' bot thread. But seriously have you seen how many people are posting thread on this and other forums. Its fairly obvious that bots are killing the game for a lot of people. I for one do not want to see this game fail because of a bunch of exploiting tossers !

One main cause for concern is the difficulty in reporting boys. (please moderators don't give us that crap about F1 or right-clicking the bots name) Its just not possible when bots can fly, move through solid objects, walk underground or move at super-sonic speeds.

We need better ammo in our fight (and it is a fight) against this low-life scum !

My suggestion - Direct screen-shot reporting !

This is an additional hotkey that takes a screen-shot and sends it directly to the people who handle bots/exploiting. No messing about, no trying to chase bots for miles just to get close enough. You take the shot (maybe have a little pop-up confirm send Y/N) and its done.
You guys get photographic evidence of this, we get to help, the game loses a BOT !

Quick, simple, effective !

Well... problem 1. Right now everything gets routed through the same customer service setup. So, the same guys that are trying to deal with bug reports, and someone's gear disappearing, also have to deal with all the bot and spam notifications...

the major "train" I see is with level 3's that get deleted almost immediately... the system needs to be fixed... how are they manipulating the game to move like they do... there is a major flaw in this game...

True a flaw that needs to be fixed.
But each bot has to have a name, that has to be connected to an account. Pic it, send it, close the account !

The people that frequent boards the botters use insist that, yes, the botters are getting shut down, and testy about losing so many accounts. The wrongfully banned people on the forums are claiming they're only locked out of one character...

There is an addon (http://www.esoui.com/downloads/info181-FastReport.html) that helps immensely.

Right now, to report a bot, i just have to get a glimpse of his name for a split second, then press F1.

The addon remembers the name of a player that you last had you targetting reticle aimed at, no matter how long, and no matter how close (as long as you were close enough to see the name, that's like 100 meters or so) . Press the associated hotkey(configurable) ans you get directly to the report screen, with the bot name pre-filled.
