I’m completely shocked at how bad the botting/hacking/multiboxing (whichever one) is. I’m a newer player, level 46, and questing in Mor Dhona right now. The past 2 days the botting has been so insane that it’s literally made it difficult to progress in the main story quests. Right outside on Castrum Centri, there’s a field of imperial mobs that I need to kill a few of to get the disguises. There are so many invisible/unground groups of characters with names like “sdhqxxafwdk”, that are one or two shotting every single one of the mobs AS they spawn. I’m not fast enough to catch a mob before they kill it. So I have to resort to sitting, camped, waiting at one single spawn point waiting for a spawn as that’s the only way I can manage to kill one. During which time the entire area is barren. I need to do this for the main quest. A simple task that really should take 2 or 3 minutes most now takes me 15 or 20 because there are so many bots clearing out main story areas for hours at a time.
There is even a little click “destination” spot you need to use to further this quest. So I have video of me standing there as dozens of these bots pop up to the spot and then glitch away back underground. As I type this my afk camera just idled on a group of 3 of them. If it’s THIS blatant and easy and bottlenecked it’s insane it’s not dealt with. I’ve seen other games where this goes ignored and such but when it’s literally impeding progression for newer players that’s so beyond unacceptable.
Yesterday was the same thing with mudpuppies for a side quest. I just gave up and abandoned the quest. I don’t have that luxury with main quests. Not to mention how reporting them is embarrassingly difficult. They expect me to open a window and type out the insane string of nonsense letters the bots use, one at a time for the 12 or so of them?
And worst of all when I asked about it in my FC, which is mostly higher level players, they essentially told me they have no clue what I’m talking about. They said they’ve never seen it or heard anyone complain about it. Does SE just not care about people maybe just starting the game? Very few things would make me want to unsubscribe but me actually not being able to play because I’m competing with bots this badly would.
How are they just letting this slide? Am I crazy???
