Please ban those who break the lfg in Cyrodiil

pokaone · July 2022

There were several people puting there add-on on auto request with the lfg keyword during the day, and when you accept, it says the person is busy, for like 15 minutes.
when i talked about it, your wonderful community explained to me with their above average iq it was not cheating it was a add-on bug.
Well i explained to them with my over average iq it takes 2,5 seconds to set your add-on to another word than lfg.
it can be fairly used to break the possibility to pugs to form teams, and that way, with an alt account, you basicaly cheat, weakening the opposite faction.
those guys deserve a perma ban.

they are basicaly broking a mmo experience of a whole server with a third party system

Euhm... Do I understand this right? You wrote "lfg" in chat and got an autoinvite, but because you got a "that person is busy" notification, you now want people using this addon to be banned? Because it somehow breaks the possibility to form teams? What?

Edit: Typo

How so? Everyone who's still recuiting can see your LFG or whatever else you type in chat. You can also ask if anyone has a different active auto-invite on. If there are groups recruiting, you aren't being prevented from joining them.

I'd consider messaging the person with "Hey, you left your auto-invite on, turn it off please" in case they didn't know.

This might be dating me, but does anyone else remember when the dolmen groups in Alikr used pretty much the whole alphabet for their invites?

Dont use the keyword?
So for example dont use +lfg, use "looking for group" Problem solved.
The "person is busy msg you recieve when grp get full just before you join, or sm1 else get invited in the same time.
Sorry, but not support for you in this one.
The one should be baned are the runners in instances. The ppl who care only about their run, keeo pulling and killing bosses, not giving a .... about that sm1 else have quest to do. But that is another topic...

nah man, it takes 2 secs to changes parameters, lfg is a universal term for decades in all mmos. When you already have an invite sent it make the whole process with other requests bug, and otherwise i don't ask for any of that crap to happen because of a [snip] addon's.
Maybe not perma ban them instantly but after a warning yeah.

This is what happens:
You type lfg in chat
Multiple people have that as autoinvite keyword, so they all invite you
Depending on how the server handles things, you may accept invite and join group, or you may get the busy message.
If you get busy message you can type "hey, missed an invite, still lfg" or "still lfg" for short.
If someone out there is inviting manually they invite you, no problem. If no one is inviting manually, then you missed nothing.

Can you describe what you think I'm missing, or what part of this is, or could be, an exploit?

PS: the "this person is busy" thing can happen even without autoinvite.

then make your own thread......
you seems concerned by pve
i spent 10 hours the last two days in Cyrodiil
maybe you'll explain to me after having distorded what im saying [snip] why i wasn't able to join any grp for 35 minutes because of a guy's add-on overwritting other's people request, and when i clicked join, he was always busy.

In full agreement.

Zenimax will not be banning anyone for using this addon as it doesn’t break any rules and appropriately uses the approved API to do its work.

Why should they ban people for using an add-on? They could change the thing that makes the add-on work, or tell the mod creator their add-on needs to be taken down as they don't like the way they are currently using the thing that makes the add-on work, but don't want to break the functionality of other add-ons. Both of which would stop the "problem" without banning anyone at all.

Not that they should be doing either of those things either. The person is busy error can happen even with a manual invite. And I can't see any benefit to such a change, and I'm not even on console. People who didn't get a group can try again and incurred no real harm. And I also don't see how making it harder to form invite people to groups is somehow supposed to increase the number of groups being made. At least the people who are auto-inviting are inviting everyone who needs a group!

pokaone · August 2022

you do whatever you want with your game.

if you make proof of no, sadly, no "bad spirit", facts i just reported to you just show that you're allowing a third party system to make you're half most important mmo activity broken.

guys/girls.... you do whatever you want.

pokaone · August 2022

if you prefer to have 2 or 3 [snip] making several people give up, then that's your matter not mine.

geonsocal · August 2022

it sort of sounds like you may be having a bit of a rough time...hope you're able to find some peace in your day...

UnkindnessOfRavens · August 2022

Maybe 10 hours of pvp was too much? Another option is to start your own group and set up whatever string you want for the auto invite.

It takes another 2 seconds to invite someone manually.

Look if you don't want people to use it then talk to a mod author.

it's easier for ZOS to just ban the addon itself than it would be to ban these players.

ZOS_Hadeostry · August 2022

Greetings,

After further review we have decided to move this thread to a category we think is more appropriate for this topic.

Thank you for your understanding

DaisyRay · August 2022

This might have not been suggested, but you could always just start your own group and use your own keyword. I see dozens of people lfg in pvp every time I am there. I think if you started your own, people would happily join you.

Tevalicious · August 2022

There is no way this is an actual thread.

shanton · August 2022

Oh no, you're the guy this conspiracy theorist is mad at 🤣

Dr_Con · August 2022

Are you that dumb person who kept demanding for me to change my auto invite from LFG after I had it for 6+ hours? Be more sensible and have your own auto-invite string set up when others have LFG on. You were being completely unreasonable and might I repeat, dumb.
