Does ZOS Ban Cheaters?

Vis

I recently started a thread concerning a player 2-shotting other players (through their block) with heavy sword attacks. Several other players who witnessed and were on the receiving end of this very obvious damage exploit also filed reports and screen shots of the cheater in question.

And who should I run into today? I'll let you guess.

It got me thinking. How many other reports of cheating has ZOS ignored?

So digging through my old screen shots I successfully contacted (via whispers throughout the day) every single cheater/exploiter I (and many others) have reported over the past months.

That's right folks! Not a single one was banned for their exploits.

That list includes those who used the 2h damage hacks, the invulnerability hacks, the speed hacks, wall hacks, and perma-invisibility hacks.

Heaven forbid I repost any pics or videos of these cheaters again, and commit what is perhaps the only enforced/bannable offense in this game. The only name I will shame is ZOS, for letting cheaters run free and unpunished.

So leads me to wonder... Does ZOS care about enforcing its own ToS?

Anyone have similar or contradicting experiences?

Edit: Granted some of the older reports could have led to temp bans that are already complete. Therefore, the only ones I can be sure of are the last three over the last week.

I also question this, but there have also been some really annoying bugs that have allowed you to do some of the things you listed.

Example: A few weeks ago I traveled to another campaign while already in my home campaign. Accepted the message and went to get a drink. I came back, jumped on my horse and headed for one of the main gates.. Guess what.. 85% of the walls of the gate were invisible to me, odd right? What was even more crazy is that I could walk through the walls... I headed to the nearest keep and guess what.. Yes I could also walk through those walls/floors.

The reason I say this is because not everyone is hacking and I bet it is hard for them to prove that you were indeed hacking with such a broken/buggy game.

Report the player. Play the game. Move on

Also, Vis... I haven't seen you in pvp for a while. What campaign are you in now?

That happens (has happened to me too), but that is not the wall hack I am talking about and to go into its details is against ToS (contact me out of game). Though granted, not all exploits are equal.

I travel to many servers everyday, though spend a good deal on AB when EP/DC guilds are out.

A sob just ran the scroll across the AB map with a speed hack. Dozens of us saw him and reported him.

ZOS, a lot of people are upset right now and a lot of subs are going to come down to whether or not you can demonstrate you take cheating seriously.

I saw the speed issue the other day.. Action needs to be taken. Either have some in game mods that can take action quickly or respond to the reports faster. It is sad when a single player that is abusing a hack or bug can single handedly turn the tide on a Campaign that quickly.
