What are the steps to reproduce the issue as you experienced:
I ran into this player outside of Windsward. They seemed to have robotic movements and stopped for a second, every 10-15 feet and faced random trees before running to them to hit them. Once they were close enough to the tree, they seem to stop to allow their script/program to register whether or not that tree had been cut already by another player. I have heard from a few of my Company mates that they have seen similar bots/movements from other lower level random players as well. The player did not respond to any of my messages either. I intentionally walked up and started hacking a tree they were after, and they continued to try and hit the tree multiple times as took it, then moved on to another.
I intentionally stole a tree and watched the player attempt to take the tree multiple times as I was already hitting it.
A few folks and I got creative and placed tents outside of town in an attempt to block the bot.
Found another bot farming Arcana reagents outside of Windsward. Factionless and doing the same thing as the wood farming bot. Stopping short before grabbing the nodes to check whether they are active or not.
Found another player named “AJJ5678” running faction PVP missions as a level 22 Marauder. It ran by several high level purples to continue it’s botliness and was killed by a purple, then promptly respawned, went back to town, and headed back to the faction vendor, constantly re-checking the faction for new missions.
Bots have traversal when stopped and jump around/over the tents we pitched.
