Reporting?

[lamquinn]

Not really "new" but this is my first post so I'm posting here.
Why does SE not have an easier report system in game? Why do I have to fill out a DMV style report to let them know there is a bot somewhere?
I keep seeing groups of about 5-10 clone characters warping around underground killing mobs and such. Today I watched as a group of 14 clone lalafell archers afk'd while one of them moved around underground to fight.
How am I supposed to report these bots that are always in large clusters or groups using a long winded report sheet? Do really they expect people to sit there one by one, checking the names of the bots and typing them out?
Is there anything else I can do to help the problem or do I really have to just accept it?
It's just aggravating to see there are bots around in levels around the late 40's that have been able to get on that long without being stopped.

If it's a single bot that you see you can right-click and target them and "examine" them. I've had a lot of bots port away or log out entirely and this helps getting the details down when you fill out the report. For multiple bots, try to click through them as fast as you can and write their names down somewhere, you are bound to miss some because they spawn directly on top of another but you can report as many as you can.

Also, the reason why it is the way it is is so that people don't abuse the function. If it's a simple right-click report feature how many people will report people they don't like for being bots to try and get them banned? It also makes the GMs job easier because they should have all the information noted down from the person doing the reporting. You are taking note of what exactly the bot is doing right? If you don't write down what the bot is doing there is no way the GMs can really prosecute them for illegal activity.
