Spying Justice System

How about allowing for spies to be prosecuted and tossed into a 2 min penalty box?
In the recent past while playing in several campaigns I and others noticed what could only be spying. For spies to operate with total immunity is wrong. I suggest that there be a small amount of friendly fire allowed in PVP. It needs to be enough that if some number of friendlies (15-20) hit you then you end up dead and with a 2 minute respawn time; a penalty box. I would allow only one hit per player in a 10 minute interval. That would allow us to prosecute spies while requiring some level of jury decision. The spying in the last week was pretty blatant and demoralizing in terms of game play. There is nothing to stop an out-of-group "friendly" from popping siege shields on stealthed players or following a group to report on strength and direction of the force. This would make spying a part of the game but not one sided or out of control.

Interesting.... but how about something similar?

Say ZOS put's in a system that allows a player to "report" a player for spying in zone: if enough players vote "yes" that player is "killed" and is forced into a penalty area of some kind.

Yeah, it's pretty crappy to make spying so easy but then not give people any way to deal with it.

Of course the issue would then become how do you stop the 'spies' (who have already shown a tendency to cheat and troll the system) from doing something like reporting the top players on a server in order to give them that penalty.

After all, alts are cheap and easy to level up.

Lol then the person who is the most annoying in zone would be in the box 24/7 not going to happen too many logistics

Spying is a part of AvAvA learn to deal with it and use /whisper instead off saying in zone "HEADING TO KC FOR SCROLL RUN IN 5 BE THERE OR BE SQUARE" for all to see

KBKB, the spys I am talking about are not just using the simple zone chat to figure out what is happening. The other night we were getting wiped by a very well prepared enemy at every target. One member was commenting in TS about the situation and the spy actually texted him a whisper that repeated what was said in TS not in chat. I'm complaining about the spies immunity not that they exist. If every time I ride 5 minutes to a fight someone jumps up and down on me to mark my location I would like some way to slap them.

Don't invite level 12 DKs into your group and give them TS details... Change the password once a week... A sin bin will turn into a popularity system there really is nothing that can be done especially if its via a 3rd party client like TS

I just don't understand the point. I've not really found that kind of motivation in cyrodiil. That's what's bizarre to me. It's way more strategy than is even needed for the way it currently is, it doesn't even make much sense.

Dealing with obsession never makes sense to the sane . You should be happy man .

I posted a feedback a while back on how to detect this feature in a fair way. I.E. sans any player reporting method. There is an easy easy easy way to figure it out through code.
