And of course Wildstar is on the list. I recently saw few level 10 characters in Grimvault teleporting from node to node and vanishing before i could take a better look at their gibberish names. I found no quick report function and the /who command offers absolutely no help to identify bots.
 
I don't know how well the bots are handled in this game but this kind shouldn't even exist. I know some people would say "yeah but this happens in all MMOs" but that's the point. That's what bothers me, that it keeps happening. It happened in WoW years ago and they fixed it, not long ago i tried out Elder Scrolls Online and the exact same thing, gathering bots teleporting from node to node.
 
The question is WHY? Why is this still a thing? It's like these gold sellers have one single trick and every developer keeps falling for it, over and over, the oldest trick in the book and no new MMO prepares for it.

Hey there Gannet,
 
We actually have a rather long dev thread on the bot issue here - https://forums.wildstar-online.com/forums/index.php?/topic/89816-continue-the-bot-wars-do/. So, I'm going to close this one up and direct you to that thread instead.
