    Much easier to just run to the white gold tower dungeon door, pop in pull out a banker, dump tel var, que back in.

    Nice try, mister ganker, who is sitting near WGT door :)

    i remember when hakeijo sold for 15-18k on xbox --- they sell for 9-10k now.

    the only expensive alchemy reagents are mudcrab chitlin and columbine.

    gotta disagree with the major issue part - you say it has been going on for years but this is literally the first post ive seen on it and the first time i'm hearing it. cant be that major.

    even the powerful assault ice staffs mentioned earlier in the thread -- they used to sell for 600k on xbox na ---- you can get them for 250-300k now --- why would guilds go through the trouble of trying to corner a market only to make the prices cheaper ? makes no sense.

    Yeah, but even at max capacity which is 24 bosses per hour, in a group of 2, given price of gold now, it is still nowhere near minimum wage, and you have expenses :D

    what said they are americans? venezuelans, mexicans,brazillians.
    its far over their minimum wage.

    I thought this was bots but if it's real players then they are not doing anything wrong

    We used to go to IC on Tuesdays to do this, farm telvar and bosses, if people want to come and kill us so be it but if your solo and near us we will attack since it is a PVP zone

    As you know most of the alchemy reagents are coming from imperial city. You farm telvars then convert this telvars by buying parcels from imperial city merchants to large amounts of alchemy reagents. These sell for lots of gold.
    in imperial city ps4 na , some people are working like a day job, everday to farm telvars. They are organized into groups, sliced imperial city into time zones ("work hours") and are only allowing their groups to farm telvars. if someone else comes and try to farm they call others from their group to kill them.

    Sounds like a slow way to make gold to me. But totally within the acceptable means of game play. ZOS designed the mobs (and players) to drop tel var, and ZOS put the stuff you can buy with tel var on the vendors. This is the same argument that people use against ball groups: if players are organized and outperforming you, something must be wrong. Either figure out a way to beat them, or find a different area to play in. It's that simple.

    As far as gold selling goes, I'm sure there are people that do that. It's the same in every mmorpg. Has been since Ultima Online, and even before. But it's a stretch to go from seeing organized groups farming to claiming that they are in fact gold selling. I'd be careful of accusing anyone of TOS violations without actual proof. You say you are "100% positive" they are there for real $. Well, show us your proof (without naming names.) Then we can start to take your claims seriously.

    This is not a botting, or flying over people kinda cheating, i cannot give you screenshots of transactions. i have been playing eso since 2017 i am giving the method they use , i talked lots of people there both their friends and their enemies. i am not saying ban them becuase i say so , i am saying someone with authority just look into it.

    What Alliance are they on? You say they’re only in no cp? Do they farm sewers or the above ground city area? I’m on PS5 NA

    this has been known for years. you’ll never stop them. you will give up before they do & they know that. there are better ways spend time Eso. It’s a losing battle vs them in no cp ic, move on.

    Yea but its so frustrating that they own imperial city. They own all alchemy reagent and hakeijo market. Its just wrong. A normal player has zero chance of having fun in IC let alone farming telvars for polymorphs or storage boxes..

    I think if they really manage to have a monopoly in these mats than this is the biggest issue because then they control the market and can fix prices as they see fit. All other players have no chance to grab these incredients by themselves but have to either buy it at the prices or not at all.

    If this is the case ZOS needs to do something about it. Either by implementing other sources for these mats or by preventing trading of these mats.

    Bro really you probably need a good build you should try asking them for help, have you tried be friendly? who knows... maybe one day you get just as good as them, with all their advices blessings brother 🙏 I don't think they do the thing you're saying only bots do that selling thing as far as I know, for real players that'd be impossible I mean this game is meant to be played and enjoy it and well, pvp is pvp all players are allowed to play on every alliance it's free will they aren't doing anything wrong and the thing about controlling the marker... Bro it's a massive server, too many players those are hallucinations from writ crafters to node farmers idk why would pvps have a monopoly? To me, what you're saying is just conspiracy theory, have a nice day 😉

    It's hard for me to get too worked up about gold selling anymore. Once crown selling became a thing, gold selling was okay as long as ZOS got their cut. I can't get upset about cutting out the middleman.

    Making IC a pain for gold selling is kinda uncool, but the solution to this is the same as the solution to many things in PVP. Get some numbers and do to them what they're doing to you.

    Use the report function in-game, no naming & shaming and nobody will ever ask for a name on the forums. If you have proof then report them in-game, using the tools provided, the report will be looked at by someone and an action will be dealt if they are actually botting.

    in imperial city ps4 na , some people are working like a day job, everday to farm telvars. They are organized into groups, sliced imperial city into time zones ("work hours") and are only allowing their groups to farm telvars. if someone else comes and try to farm they call others from their group to kill them.
    They dont get caught gold selling because of the method they use. They farm telvars with their main accounts, turn them into alchemy reagents or hakeijos, put them in guild bank , Use other accounts to get these mats and sell in real big trading guilds, put the gold comes to another guild bank , then delivery toons gets the coins and sends gold buyers.

    i have also spotted their rotation they split imperial city like a cake. each group farms 4 hours in ps4 na at exactly same time everyday and 4 hours more at xbox na imperial city amounting 8 hours work every day. i know all of their names want to share. You can spot them buy yourself same people will be there everyday ,one group at utc 09.00 thru utc 13:00, another group at utc 13:00-17:00, another group utc 17:00:21:00 and so on.

    So a guild of organized dedicated people are successful in pvp zone and you report them why? Did you used to be part of that guild?

    Successful of what? Selling coins and getting away with it while destroying casual players game experience?

    Or, you’re not providing proof of wrongdoing. Screenshots of harassing whispers counts as proof, while “Trust me bro they cheating” doesn’t.

    Well I have a guild and we go to IC very frequently we've been there for many hours and there's just normal fights group vs group, gankers, tanks just like CP but no proc and, that's a good question were you part of the guild you're talking about but you don't like them anymore? I don't know just wondering because it's not ok to report pvpers just because they attack you on a pvp zone it just doesn't make sense that's what pvp is for otherwise it wouldn't be fun. Anyways I hope you're having a nice day bro!

    And bro something else why pointing at someone just because they're from South America? That's rude and sounds a little too racist talking about their minimum wages you're just generalizing and judging because of the country they live in? And how do you know they from Venezuela Mexico and Brazil it's the reason why Im wondering if you were part of their group and for some "vengeance" reason you want to report them bro that just doesn't make me wanna trust your reasons to report them.
