Yep. Multiboxing.

Multi boxing/client? Against the ToS according to a quick forum search so just report.

Haven't seen it myself but I spend little time in OW nowadays. Dungeons are pretty easy to see bots etc but there are a few that you wont notice unless you let them fight the end boss themselves and then you see their silly patterns like falling of the ledge at the same spot at the same time x10 in a row. Doing the same pattern from campfire to entrance x10 in a row. Full primal gear with some green un refined and or visanti, enough for any player to easily solo the boss and/or their adds.

I've seen this twice in Random Leveling Dungeons - both times it was for Cloak Tower. They struck me as creepy - they ghost along behind my toon, moving like they are joined at the hip, not really engaging or picking up loot - just drifting along.

After the first time I learned to abandon the instance when I saw this behavior, to help avoid rewarding it.

I've seen this, much worse than you describe actually! I remember seeing HUGE groups of multiboxing bots in PE and the Chasm. You'd see one go to the door and exit, then the next, then the next. I'm talking groups of 20 of them lol It's been a LONG time since I've seen it though!

After the last RQ change where RQ daily rewards were made account wide, the problem with bots in RQs has been made significantly smaller.

Or maybe I think so because I myself run way less RLQ's

That does not give you duplicate pets or mounts.

They need to remove the follow command (the creepy ones who are always behind you)...and actually take some action against multiple accounts, multiboxers, and bot software users.

However, since this has been a problem since the start of the game I would not hold my breath for effective action to be taken.

They usually aren't using a follow command. It's multiple games tethered to the same input device. So when the multi-boxer presses "w" all three accounts get the signal.
