Doesnt matter if they can farm vMA with cheat engine.
Exploits and cheating is so rampant in this game, cause ZOS doesnt give a f***.

Perhaps those 2 people who managed to duo vDSA only scaled it down for achievement purpose and didn't expect to get on leaderboards. If you focus on reporting players instead of the system itself, then you might actually report innocents.

btw. vDSA is full of exploits already, and it needs an overhaul. No team can make it on leaderboards without use of the common exploits in there, like hitting the portals before the mobs spawn etc.

No, those are from the same guild. I wont go into details as it might be considered naming and shaming, but...
Also, hitting portals is impossible now.

STILL NO FIX STILL NO COMMENT, COME ON ZOS

If this takes a series of steps that is hard to replicate and can't be a mistake, DON'T FIX IT. PERMABAN.

ZoS, think of it like camping an FC without setting it on fire.

Grab 3 people in a run, 1 person that is cp10 or something pass them lead
not hard at all, they shouldnt get perma banned just fix it

I give up, this is getting ridiculous

I have to agree that ZoS needs to get into this thread and give some info on what they're going to do. I have a group of friends that have been running this since the update. We're by no means amazing, but improving steadily. It's disheartening to know that some of our runs might be getting to the point where we could make weekly leaderboards... but we won't because of exploiters and ZoS is choosing to ignore it.

It is. A bunch of 48k scores on EU leaderboards and ZOS doesnt give a ***k about it.
This is why cheating/exploiting is so widespread, people know they will get away with it and dont worry about their accounts.

@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom @Seiffer

@andy_s Is this fixed on the PTS? I heard you cant do scale down veteran trials on the PTS anymore
Either way, how come there has been no word on this?

You can't scale anything anymore on pts,all lower levels get battle-leveling like wrothgar. So there's your fix.

Not really /thread if this whole issue has been ignored you know? Its great it has a fix for PTS
but another *** update another exploited leaderboard scores, every single update we have ended with exploited scores on the boards.

At least remove them? This time it actually displays who exploits

The chest doesn't scale up so they're not getting rewards,correct?

I don't care if the chest scales up or not, they are exploiting it for weekly rewards, which do scale up
The leaderboards are showcasing exploited scores, I dont even know why zenimax allows that, its just a bad image, patch after patch

just my thoughts

Non priority compared to other things that could be worked on.

If being on the leaderboards meant a valuable item being awarded then I suppose it should be top of the priority list but as it stands the only thing that this is hurting is a couple people's egos.

I'm not supporting these players actions but this should not be a bannable offense and does need to be fixed eventually.

Lol.
Just egos, huh?
Well, I suppose, there's a lot of hate against people who play competitively. But the way ZOS handles exploiting and cheating affects much more than just those people. Remember the survey exploit? Some cheaters got a 3 days ban, and kept their duped mats. Most of them werent even banned or warned. Or cheat engine controversy? Again, many cheaters werent punished for this at all, and those who got "permabans" just qqed to support and got their accounts restored.
This is why exploiting and cheating is so blatant these days. This is why its important to stop it.
And saying that its a minor issue is just ignorant.

Yhea and now in guild shops ive seen same person selling 200 tamper 200 tamper 200 tamper 200 wax 200 wax 1.4mill per stack

so in total 600 tamper and 400 wax .... and this was only in one trader who knows how many others traders he is selling them to.....
