Take a vid, report via a ticket and most importantly: don't keep your hopes up.

essi2 · July 2018

How is this different from Blue and Yellow or Red sieging together and ignoring eachother?

bg22 · July 2018

Yea... and my favorite is they stay in zone chat telling ppl to not fix the walls...

Certainly much better than a one line OP that says pretty much nothing.

Complain to Zos in a manner that pretty much says nothing will get about the same results. Just FYI.

it was happening on d'albei also these people should be banned

best_player_ever · July 2018

also would be nice for newcomers to know how this company act with such things. ignoring reports/tickets/posts no action no even a word.

best_player_ever · July 2018

We saw blue and red fighting together literally side by side standing on the same wall defending a blue keep. The purple alliance is op.

essi2 · July 2018

Why are you double posting? There is an edit function, use it @best_player_ever

Totally irrelevant and allowed. It’s the reason for 3 alliances.

How is it different from groups swapping flags? Once they fight the yellows off they give the keep to the other side and repeat.

Bc one is an exploitation.

Unless you’re a yellow who’s getting driven off it would be pretty simple to take a video and report the groups. There’s ways to report people in game.

best_player_ever · July 2018

and this exploiters in addition to unintended behaviour just pulling bosses to flags thats definitely game breaking situation for other players cos no chance to catch any boss for event achiv

Tandor · July 2018

If you're expecting ZOS to act on a forum report you might want to mention the platform.

Salvas_Aren · July 2018

ZOS does not care. They prefer the facade of a clean forum over meaningful action ingame.

Short term alliances to earn easy AP are just the tip of the iceberg.

How about long term bicolor guilds? Or blocking alliance access by placing twinks to the gates?

yep my bad it's PC EU

KingMagaw · July 2018

That is not exploiting and ZOS actually encourages this behaviour since the start of the game. Been brought up since the start. You might see some players but there is plenty who are simply AFK using a macro to move them marginally in stealth and still gaining those AP ticks

If you were expecting ESO to be competitive then your mistaken. If your not exploiting ESO then your getting farmed by the people who are. It is that simple.

ManwithBeard9 · July 2018

This sounds like cooperative farming. Not am exploit, but not encouraged. Assuming none of the flags are bugged and everything is awarding AP in a proper manner, it's just farming.

you sound like the president, just shaneless, shameless! Ticket and send. Do you really think they are monitoring every flag across all servers and platforms?

Olen_Mikko · July 2018

I guess they're same dudes who did the same in Bleakers last year.

firedrgn · July 2018

Who cares zos needs to fix that area anyeays
Me and a red player played side by side killing mobs.

I think it great.

Play how u like.

xenowarrior92eb17_ESO · July 2018

I don't see the issue...there is no exploit here they just doing rotation cap... so pls remove this thread cuz its baiting from a person perspective that somehow managed to sneak out of the box and got mind blown by the fact that some things can happen in a different way.

DenniMyuu · July 2018

They're taking the flag for more Tel Var stones in the district, look for the boss if it has spawned and kill it and move on. Every district has different bosses. That has nothing to do with exploiting. They're just after the IC boss achievement.

code65536 · July 2018

How is this an exploit? You don't get AP if you had recently taken the flag.

We took a district flag, got driven off by some yellows who took the flag, and when we beat them and retook the flag, there was no AP at all for the second capture.

ZOS added the AP cooldown specifically because of the keep flipper issue. That cooldown is still there, so anyone hoping to get AP that way will find that they're getting pretty poor return for their time.

Yeah, I remember that Bleakers "roleplaying" in Haderus

OGLezard · July 2018

So....you are saying that by two factions running one behind the other taking imperial city district flags, this is somehow an exploit?

Right

heng14rwb17_ESO · July 2018

PURPLE IS STRONG.....ENDURE

Mystrius_Archaion · July 2018

What do you expect from people who don't normally pvp because they don't like it and just go there for the incentives so they can get the cosmetic dyes and skills unlocked that they can use in pve?

It's ZOS's own fault and is just more obvious now with the event on but I would bet money happened before the event.

What is the only way to stop this and every other exploit to gaining AP?
Remove rewards for pvp and make it "just for serious pvpers and fun". Seriously, this works and is the absolute only way to stop all future exploits.
