Anyone that has been to the starting zones lately can see that Z/B efforts to combat gold farmers has been 100% ineffective!
* Teleport Hackers
* Speed Hackers
* Z-Plane Hackers
* Bot Hackers
* Newbie Gold Farmers
All these types are there in abundance, easy to see. Most not reportable. These cheaters are driving players away from the game now, and are also causing Z/B to make questionable decisions regarding loot drops from Mobs, Containers, and Bosses. Hurting the players in a feeble attempt to discourage the cheaters.
If Z/B continues to ignore this problem, then this game is going to be a ghost town in a few more months. Just as a gauge, the guild I am in has about 50 inactive members (out of 225) . Folks that are still in the guild but have not logged in for weeks, or months. They are gone from the game. I expect even more to exodus out in June.
It is really to bad. ESO has a really fine base game. One that could be built into a masterpiece, given sufficient time and income. But, I fear it will never get that chance.
