Farming NPC's

BRogueNZ

So today I stumbled across an NPC who objected to me stealing something out of her cupboard. I kill her, she re-spawns immediately and objects to me looting her corpse and try's to punch me to death. I found this amusing and just kept going (amounting a sizeable bounty to I might add) I was also getting 380XP every time I killed her and plenty of stuff to fence.

This doesn't like it should be possible, the XP and 30-250 gold per second-ish from basically pressing 3 buttons while I watch the news.

Working as intended or did I exploit?

Is someone entering and leaving every few seconds? If so, that's why she's respawning so quickly. Also, stealthing can trigger respawns I think, since the game thinks you aren't there. This isn't an exploit. If it was, then logging out in a solo dungeon to reset all the treasure would be as well.

Nope just me and a shocked bystander who gets used to the blood shed and eventually stops being so shocked and horrified.

Just another reason why all mobs should have diminishing returns added to them. This is a tried and true method no idea why on earth ZoS refuses to implement it.

Greetings everyone!

Thank you for reporting this, we will gladly pass the information along. Please also report it directly in game via /bug and add the NPC's name and location, that way our developers will receive the information directly and know where to look.

Many thanks!

This reminds me of something that I found really funny.

Go to the Inn, at Dragonstar in Craglorn, go upstairs and talk to the NPC in the back room. You will come to find that she is stealing out of the chests, but if she catches you stealing, she gets mad about it, and it adds bounty.

I killed her immediately, but just found it amusing that she wasn't friendly to a fellow thief!
