Chim Scroll taken due to exploit/bug?

So I saw on the forums that DC on NA Wabbajack were able to get into EP's spawn zone and spawn camp us for a while. Screenshot from Tintinabula:

Supposedly they also capped our Scroll by setting up Forward Camps in our spawn zones, even when the Gates were closed. I had always assumed the Scrolls couldn't be picked up when the Gates were closed to prevent such shennanigans.
Can anyone confirm this? I wasn't on when this happened.

EDIT: Looks like it's true, just found this screenshot on another thread:
1_0-19210800-1403678879_exploiting.jpg

Scroll is taken while both Gates and Gate-controlling keeps are under EP control. Would it be too much to ask that we get our Scroll back as it was taken via exploits?

I'd also hope ZOS sees this and makes a change, such as Scroll being untouchable while its associated Gate is closed? This would easily resolve the issue.

    What really blows me away is the fact that they were able to put down camps..

    I know right? I've tried putting down camps in enemy zones when the Gates were open, I wasn't able to. I guess that's bugged too :(

    I wonder how long before someone will try to painfully justify this as legitimate and intended game play.

    Check the forums, people are already trying to defend it.
    "It's tactical, like Seal Team Six" was my favorite one.

    1. cannot put camp in scroll area
    2. thus put camp in starter area

    However u dont need camps because you can unlock the wayshrine and just rez there
    Indeed it is so...

    ZoS already chimed in. It's a "very grey area" yeah, uhuh.

    They also said:
    "ZOS_JessicaFolsom wrote:
    We acknowledge that the terrain issue is a bug that we need to fix, and are working on doing so as soon as possible."

    So "grey area" or not, it's going to be fixed.

    They also said
    "ZOS_BrianWheeler wrote:
    We're working on getting those teleport/kill zones active again gang. There will be more information on when they go up as soon as we can get it to you =)"

    I hope by "kill zones" they mean anyone getting into another faction's spawn/starter area will die instantly.

    Yea. Something very strange going on there. Not sure how the camps work because I never tried to place one in those areas, but in most of the map, you can place camps in open fields as long as its not "too close to enemy" controlled objective.

    As for picking up a scroll while the gate is closed, thats something that has always been allowed, and should continue to be so. You can legitimally go through a gate while it is open, then have it shut behind you. Are you saying you shouldnt be allowed a chance at a scroll, even though you earned the right to be there?

    And I dont know about the "kill zones". I like the idea of someone getting into anothers spawn point being insta-killed, but I believe it was only set to kick you out if you tried in the past. Either way, should def. be the instakill route I think in the future haha.

    Use this to "counter fire" and get up there and defend your starter zones!
    Indeed it is so...
