Thank you ZOS, for allowing really bad players to exploit this broken game

They are single handedly stripping away the things that keep people playing.... Want the maw skin? Glitch it. Want a super high PvP rank?... camp in the rocks around Bleakers and earn 450k AP an hour... People have gone from Tyro to Palatine during this mess. Bleakers and Nickle are where Grand Overlords are born. All while watching Netflix and YouTube videos. Not to mention the monetary gains to be made. Way to go ZOS.

I am on PS4 NA, and I can tell you that I am in tears writing this post. In Azura's Star, right now, all 3 alliances are exploiting alliance points by taking turns flipping the outposts, 2 minute rotations, each side gets like 14k each flip. This is a really broken in-game mechanic, and I don't think that you seem to realize how problematic this is. Never do this double AP thing ever again. This is the only reason that this is happening. This happens all the time, yes, but the only difference is that this is so freaking obvious and they have done it every day, all day long, since Monday... I know people do it all the time, but I just don't want this game to turn into what's happening right now.

I am in tears reading this post. Seriously get some sleep. Load testing = testing the load. It was pre-meditated.

Just as a side not fellas, I am pretty sure Blizzard was banning and stripping rank from players who were "win-trading" in WoW...

While it might not be "cheating," it certainly is not intended, and this behavior negatively manipulated leaderboards. I wouldnt condone it, and I find it in poor taste/sportmanship.

I watched my significant other play with her xpguildxp on Xb1 and they were doing this all day with AD. It says a lot about the general mindset these kids have today (GM is in his early 20s) about what is appropriate/fair. Really sad. But like a previous poster stated, it is the age of entitlement.

Oh yeah... At that point it was a business decision. But I got my August Palatine the old fashioned way. If somebody gave me a button to push and everyone's rank would reset to the day before double XP I would do it in a second.

Come on you know it was the most fun you had on pvp in 3 years on here. Went from 17 to 25 in 2 weeks, 3.6 mil ap so I can buy all the camps I want lol. :0

You're in... tears ?? Over a... video game ?
Shaking my head...

I'm in tears because of how pathetic this really is. I fully understand that this happens all the time, but I heard this was happening in every single campaign, and I only play in Azura's Star because I like playing with skill, like Scourge for example. It is so pathetic how freaking obvious it really was. Daggerfall/Ebonhart Pact at Bleakers, Daggerfall Or Ebonhart Pact at Sejanos or Nikel with Aldmeri Dominion flipping flags back to back all day. Okay? I don't to have to come on here and see the whole entire game on a halt just exploiting AP all day long. I get that people do it, but when you got the entire games population just stop PvPing, and start exploiting, then yes it is a problem. If you disagree that this is an exploit, then there is in fact something wrong with the way you think. Last time I checked an exploit is abusing a games mechanics to gain an unfair advantage over others. Only reason that it's not in TOS is because ZOS actually does not care enough to do something about it.

I have a guy on my friends list whom I really like as a person, but as a player he is straight trash. He lost a 1v1 as emperor, and he basically has a squad of people that feed him AP. He told me he got Emperor at least 36 times since like last year or so. That's how long he has been doing this for.

Edit: "I'm in tears" is not a literal statement... It means that I am frustrated by how corrupt this game is.

this looks vaguely familiar...is this a copy and paste thread...or, is it just the odd usage of red colored letters that I may have seen before...

personally I think darkblue or goldenrod really makes a point that much clearer and really pop...

I just joined the forums like or 2 weeks ago so I have no idea what you are talking about.
