Encountered a player/bot twice on Sparkfly Fen map. Once on land & under water. Harvesting leeks & platinum ore. The nodes were in close proximity, near Forvar’s waypoint. Only the player name was visible. This happened two days ago.

Today there was another one, under water in the vicinity of the Castavall waypoint (bloodtide Coast). Once again, only the player name was visible. Player name was different to the one spotted two days ago.

Unfortunately I was not able to screenshot either as they disappeared instantly once spotted. Not that I could post the screens here.

Just wanted to let players know these players/bots are about. First time I have come across them in 25 months of game play.

It goes on all the time and if the patterns are the same it could very well be the same person running all his toons through the same script. Sadly ANET does not have an option to select a player and report such behavior but by the time you witness the botting it is usually too late to take a screenshot.

I’ve seen these underground bot harvesters too. Unfortunately because they’re underground, I can’t select them to report them.

Knew bots were present in this game from reading the forum over time. Remarkably it’s the first time i’ve come across any. This was a real problem in eso.
