Do you think some people cheat?

Like add a brightness on enemies and make them glow different colors. A way to work around the API.
Then synchronize there efforts as in leader is targeting the purple guy, and everyone presses t and they all lock on the purple glowing person. Due to everyone having a different brightness pattern, they could add the target system.

You know what they say, you let someone in halfway the door, they going to be very secretive and put stuff not in the API or whatever you call that addon program but not tell anyone about it.

How good is ESO security at preventing people from using addons that give them extreme advantages against others like being able to quickly target any person.

In 50v50 battles like you mentioned, theres a lot of people, animations, and objects that get in the way, its not as easy as you make it sound, but if there was a program/addon that made everyone synchronize there target like in GW2, Everquest, etc. than they clearly have an extreme advantage.

Clearly, some people using hidden addons is just unfair. Makes me think of someone using automated targeting in FPS games, or wall hack.
Addons is just a friendlier term for botting, hacking, etc. because addon alters your game, just like how botting and hacking does the same factor.

How is it botting? That addon you goto the bank and it automatically sorts items. That's botting, a friendly version.
How is it hacking? That addon that shows you the dps heals etc. scrolling down your screen, you hacked and changed the game.

Wouldn't be surpised if some people had targeting addon, but not available to public.
If some people had a resource finder addon, but not available to public.
Clearly advantage to them and disadvantage to the public.
Anyways, ESO SHOULD HAVE ALREADY IMPLEMENTED a targeting system.
Everquest a 15 year old game has it, GW2 has it, pretty sure WoW has it.

ESO had a targetting system, it was removed along with everything else that was that useful in PvP.

The only thing addons can help you with right now are by displaying information about your character and information about the player you have targetted and that information itself is often limited.

I read through the entire ESO API trying to make my own mod and realized it's garbage and it there is no way to use it to give your side a competitive advantage over the other side when dealing with skilled players.

So your implication that somehow some group that defeated your group had to be using some "hidden" addon would be incorrect. When you're in a group filled with skilled players on TS it is natural to have 3-4 people all target the same player, especially if that player is easily recognized as a quick-kill. Once the easy kills are down you focus the highest priority and work your way down to the guy standing in the middle of everyone holding block and waiting for someone to attack him.

As much whine and snark has been in this thread, it has proved insightful. The OP is in one of those big, zone calling, let anyone one in "guilds" that don't teach "stay on crown, blob on target, bomb now" tactics. So am I. Hell, they barely will have a third of the group in TS. And people wonder why it takes an hour or two to finally wipe an EP troll group from glade mine (or glade anything). These guilds are satisfied with bodies just being there. They are basically just giant pug groups

Perhaps OP should suggest that at least a small core of the group be well coordinated and in TS before inviting others in. So have a couple of the different specs you need and your shot caller. Then everyone else is just a meat shield. They can stay on crown or not. It's hard to implement because of egos and such but once they have success it may get easier.

At the very least you can try yelling out targets and marking them yourself. Maybe use that trophy item to put a light on yourself to specify your location.

A couple of things that are not add-ons:

Tab targeting, learn it, love it.
Having the NB press the button that marks a target, preferably not the tank.
