Zenimax, Fix The Leaderboards - VDSA Exploits

    I don't mind people down scaling trials or dungeons to farm motifs or get achievements.

    But getting on the leader boards and ruining them should be punishable and fixed asap. (NOT PERMABANNED, cus it's ppl's bread an butter these days)

    In the US, there's a person who soloed it at top 5 as well as another trio group.
    In EU, there's also 2 people who down scaled it it's so obvious. I'm not even gonna start with the top 10.

    The fact that there is still no word from @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom is absurd and unacceptable. It should have been fixed on the same day that it was reported. They should take the servers down immediately and hotfix it. Erase the leaderboards.

    This is not an in game bug, which is at ZOS' fault and people can bump into it, like the gapclosing bug that wasn't even rly an exploit, cus noone couldn't technically get an advantage over someone else, since everyone could do it.

    This is an actual exploit, used by people who are fully aware of it, have fully planned on gaining advantage over other people to get on the leaderboards, and complete end game content with such ease.

    If ZOS says they'll fix it with Tamriel unlimited and not immediately, they should know that they encourage such behaviour, they come off as incredibly amateur and their company will come off as lazy. That's actually the word that'll describe it. Lazy.

    This needs a response and a fix asap.

    The other two may have lagged out right at the end....very unlikely though.

    It's an immensely hard glitch to replicate though. I had a group farm prison on level 48 but vet so we got shackles (boring as ***) this glitch though doesn't work in vMoL or sanctum. Ie you don't get the titles etc.

    Not likely at all, a 48k score is almost 44 minutes, now that portal killing is now removed, at this time I can't see how that is possible being at this CP cap

    I just think they screwed the leaderboards up or by some miracle it is intended, and if so, I weep for VDSA

    I just think they screwed the leaderboards up or they just don't care, it's amazing how long this has gone on now with no word about it

    ZOS is, sadly, historically, extremely slow responding to cheaters assuming they bother at all. It's why things have gotten so far and why so many people just exploit. For some why bother doing things legitimately when you can cheat and get away with it, even when you're caught on video. I have known for a long time that ZoS didn't care about anything remotely competitive they're honestly among the worst I've seen when it comes to this. The fact it's a B2P game is even funnier. I've seen f2p games do it better. I love this game but no one can take pvp, raids, or leaderboards seriously here at all until they start taking a firmer stance on exploits and exploiters.

    Yeah it's 99.99% not the case but they'd say that if you asked them. Personally I don't see Vdsa being possible for 2 people. 2 magplar maybe but it'd take a friggin long time.

    WOW, this game really has become "Elder Exploits Online" Shame really, but here is a new mount in the crown store.
    I am amazed this game has not crashed and burned, ZOS is very lucky to have such a loyal playerbase, Even as big a fan as I am I am starting to feel my time here is limited, unless I see ZOS start taking more action against, exploiters, cheaters, fixing broken game mechanics, the list could go on.

    One reason it has not crashed and burned is because it is really the only MMO to play on consoles. I could see a portion of the PC player base leaving as soon as CU comes out but for console players this is all we have until someone makes a new (traditional) MMO for consoles.... preferably one that does not allow hacks/exploits and swings a heavy ban hammer for thos that do.

    There is a middle ground between un-banning a CE user after 1 week, and giving gap-closing abusers a permaban.
    Perma-banning people for stuff your lazy coders left in the game is a bad look.
    Both these tactics drive away current and future players.

    Anyone in the top 100 who cheat the leaders board's needs a 1 week ban. 1-month or more if they abused the Banker glitch.
    Next game breaking glitch, these people will stay away.

    ZOS please show your community you care about the game and know how to treat cheaters!

    On xbone na, our score was pretty beautiful. Logged on the next day to see a 49k from ONE person, who also had another 47k from people with no CP. And I did it with one of the top Xbone guilds.
    This is so blatantly an exploit it's not even funny.

    It really doesn't surprise that they've ignored console for so long.
    But I honestly believed that once it was discovered on PC, it would be fixed there first with an incremental or something coming to console later like usual.
    I can't believe it's been this long and they haven't even RESPONDED to this.

    its less than 20 people who cares about pve leaderboards.. indeed its not a priority, the exploiters get banned anyway,

    there are many stuff around which should have priority, such as the bug in veteran wayrest sewers where Yahja NPC do not open the door for you before the harvester boss room - which basically, affects thousands of ESO players.

    you have so much time in your hands and nothing going on in your life to complain this much?
    go do something useful to some players like helping pugs to actually finish vdsa or a veteran trial

    sooner or later the leaderboards will reset. no need to whine this much..

    News flash: it doesn't work only with vDSA.

    Monster helmets in non-vet campaign? Yup.
    Easy vet achievements / skins / pets? Yup.
    Easy vet weeklies? Yup. (such as a golden Alkosh ring in my last one. Still wondering why non-MoL trials drop MoL loot)
    Easy gold pledges? Yup.

    Mate your a joke. Hold no illusions that ESO are working on said bugs. The exploiters get banned?, then let back 3 days later (reference recent CE scandal and the recent video was posted bragging Zeni let player off with blatant cheating)

    I see they 'Fixed' the spot where you can jump down to Grobull in the dungeon and skip like 6 mobs. Seeing dirt like this fixed, over addressing the blatant cheating and exploiting going on, hell even making a few forum posts, is a disgrace.

    When you have time, maybe look into scaling resulting in non-leaderboard scores and maybe add in vdsa's own weekly rewards? Get dat gold stuff and another PVE thing to do weekly. Just a thought.

    Erase the scores, and make it a requirement that the content is scaled to CP160 for any type of leaderboard competition or tough achievement unlocks.

    People use the same method to downscale Vet Ruins of Mazzatun and Vet Cradle of Shadows. The Amberplasm/Spiderkith Skins mean very little now in terms of genuine accomplishment.

    Really?? Hopping on right now to form groups lol xD

    You really don't need...better improve yourself or the group. I did like 10runs for Cradle and didn't get the achiev. Then I changed to a group that didn't make it more than 3-4times (enough to know all tactics) and we nailled it from first. Also with first group I managed to get ruins no death on 2nd run. So it depends on many things...

    Sad thing is even after they wipe leaderbords, in the next major update there are so many sets, and some of them will go live broken as usual, and it will affect scores again or there will be another bug, so I just decided to don't care, because honestly nobody really cares except a super little amount of people (none of them are devs obviously) :<
