    It's not that hard. Join a social or PvP guild and you can prolly get a bite by the first or second day as a member. Guild members usually don't charge other guildies. If they do just wait till someone kewl gives it for free.

    bites will be free in a week don't worry.

    If you are right i'll apologize on here publicly. But it wont change trust me. I've seen this other forums where they are charging psn cash in upwards of 40$ for one bite. They are working it like a auction. And people are buying it. LoL

    I suggest if you see those threads, to make a screenshot of them and send an email to customer support with the website url, and the screen shot and the game username the player is using so they can investigate. If that person is selling a bite for real money, it is against the TOS and they will get banned for it when they are caught.

    I dealt with RMTs on FF14 trust me they cant stop them.

    If they try to charge before hand say "No thanks" and if they bite you give them a tip of some sort for their time.

    You aren't on ps4 are you? They camp every known spot even in the day dude. You act like it can be done and i invite you to go try they are a new moon real soon. I bet my bottom dollar you dont get it when they are 20+ campers at every spawn. But dude just drop it. I'm tired of discussing this with you. Its almost impossible and anyone who says its not are either trying to troll or they want to raise prices.

    Well that is FF14 and they have different rules than ZOS does. When ZOS does do something though, they will not tell you the results as per their TOS.
    Once they know someone is advertising to that affect, they watch the users account very carefully. They even took a thread down early today that someone made who was offering real money for a bite. But they can't do anything about it, unless you report it to them.

    But I will say again, the same thing happened in PC launch. Console is not going to be any different, especially when you have twice as many players going at it as PC players had and unfortunately you guys don't have a zone text chat option so looking for someone that way won't work.

    Therefore, if you are advertising on the LF page, etc.. then you need to keep a copy of the conversation, write down the username of the player willing to bite you. Tell them outright that you will pay after the bite, or compromise on a half now, half after. If they agree, and then take your gold and don't bite you, then send a report player via the in game method, (if there is one for console and ensure a screenshot is with it if it allows you), to ZOS with that players username, the date, time, zone, your level. ZOS will investigate. You will probably get your gold back, and the other player will be most likely warned at first or given a time out, but again, you won't know the result of that.

    If you don't report stuff like that in the proper channels so something can be done, then that is your fault.

    Also, if a Guild is advertising that their members offer free bites, but their members are charging, you might want to contact the Guild Leader about that and let them know so they can deal with the members going against the Guild rules.

    I get that you are frustrated and angry and bitter right now, but not every one doing vampire bites on consoles are scamming people.

    I can tell you outright a large concentration of free bites that are being given out are mostly being given to friends and guild mates first and foremost, especially by PC Transfers. That is what my friends are doing on there right now. Later, they will be giving bites to anyone looking, but that is a month or more down the road. But you also have to realize, once another player has bitten someone, they now have to wait 7 days before they can bite someone else.

    Also on a side note, being a vampire might sound awesome.. but be aware the 40%+ extra flame damage to you can be a huge disadvantage and a lot of people have regretted it and had the curse removed, especially once they reached endgame.

    I agree with this guy completely. I have witnessed the people spawn camping every point in every alliance area. I have also been scammed twice by people on that so called "free bites" thread. And i have heard vampire on the ps4 say in voice chat "Sure I will bite u...... for 20$ psn." and yet zos and bethesda do nothing. I hope we all say so.ething against this becuz its honesty sucking the life outta this game. I dont even wanna play it right now. Im actually on minecraft becuz at least on there i can play the game the way I WANT TO!

    I want a refund personally becuz this game aint worth 60$ if people can control how u play. BOTTOM LINE!

    Trust me, I agree they should have made these rare spawn immortal like City guards are. PC players asked them too a long time ago, but we were told to basically suck it up and get used to it and be patient.

    I just want to say, as someone that has not only gotten but given bites from connection on the "so called" free bite thread, that it really freaking stinks that people would be using that resource to scam people. That thread has been in existence for well OVER a year, and has worked exceedingly well.

    Also, even though I changed my post on there to say PC only, I have personally responded to each and every console user that has asked for a bite from me.

    Unfortunately, some people have to be jerks, and ruin a good thing for the vast majority of people. This is an we can't have nice things, folks.

    Point, the free bite thread isn't "so called". And anyone posting there that is scamming people should be reported as such.

    If you really want to get bitten asap, check out this thread. It's where biters and victims post that they're looking for or selling bites - usually for free, so no scamming. Hope this helps :wink:

    Because ZOS doesn't like to learn form the past developments. This was the reason for much drama and frustration near the PC launch and they could have easily fixed it . They chose not to so you can now enjoy the same.

    Anyway the truth is that in the present state both WW and Vamp are kind of lame,dumb, worthless and mostly unnecessary No one should fret about them and should just be patient and wait.When they launched it on PC vamp was kind a big deal that influenced a lot of the PVP now it is not like that at all.

    for some odd reason i read this post as Dracula in my head lol :p

    Isn't there a thread where people are offering these for free? I think that a lot of players would give it to you providing it is not on cooldown and same faction. Some may want money, but remember they can only bite once a week. If someone asks more than 10k gold or real money they are definitely scamming you. Also be prepared to be able to do these quests. They are only available in the mid to upper 30's zones and have to be done solo.

    Who in their right mind would pay for something you can and will get eventually anyway? I'm on the XB1, and leaving out the well known issues of quest giving NPCs disappearing occasionally, and the odd server log out, it has been great. Sure, there are some eijits online, but that is true in all these kind of games, if not life itself!

    Why is it so hard Get vampirism in this game? If you dont wait for nothing to spawn on a new moon then they do spawn and scarcity squads hit them so hard no one can even get a chance. then when you ask for someone to help you out and bite you they scam you and your screwed once again. I understand trolling. Hell i like trolling. But this is flat out ruining this game for me. Bethesda needs to fix this or i'm done with esotu. And if i do get it i'll give my entire guild a bite then we will give them out for free to everyone who asks. so that way the trolls get trolled.

    Thanks for listening to my rant.

    I'll give you vampirism


    Add me in game @swiftduck



    ****Edit

    I just realized you are on ps4. I'm on PC, sorry :(



    But my word of advice for you is to not worry about become a vampire right now.
    It seems you guys are having the same exact issue we had when the game launched on PC, with trolls stealing money and scamming you.

    Eventually people will be handing out bites like sweetrolls.

    Trying to get vampirism early on is only going to ruin your experience as you will be doing nothing but waiting for sundown to get bitten. Its no fun. Just level your character, form or join a vampire guild (yes they exist, I am in one) and have fun

    And another "Change this to how I want or I quitz" post.

    Given the bean-counters (despite promises that the ONLY way to deliver the game they wanted was to retain a Subscription model) felt the need to go to B2P and a Gouge, erm, Crown-Store to try and keep the revenue stream up perhaps it is time Zeni started listening to some of the more reasonable "change this or I quit" posts because it seems so many people have in fact quit that the game is barely financially viable anymore.

    But hey, why let a little bit of reasoned thinking intrude in to this debate, eh?

    It used to be the same on PC, now everyone can get a free bite in 10 minutes. Why not wait until the situation stabilizes? Contracting lycanthropy or vampirism doesn't suddenly make you OP, there's no reason to rush.

    I sympathise, I do, but the bottom line is being a vamp is something you can live without. Just wait a bit and getting a bite will be easy. It happened on the PC and it will do so on the console.

    If ZoS actually take action against the scammers I will be surprised because they appeared to do nothing when this happened on the PC. However, the scammers exist because they have a market and that element is down to the players and not ZoS.

    Stay calm and simply enjoy the game The.Virus - I know it is easier said than done but you don't need the bite to play. :)

    Vamp/WW was not intended to be gotten by players at low levels.
    That is why the NPC bite locations are located in the 5th zone of each Alliance, i.e. Reaper's March. The Rift.
    Also the quests associated with the bites are difficult a lower levels.
    I had no trouble being bit by an NPC WW in Reaper's.

    Same thing happens on PC. It's the meta. It wasn't unheard of people spending upwards of 10k for a vamp/werewolf bite in the earlier days.

    Worse lol. The prices on PC after launch was 35-50k for a vampire bite. This because ZoS somehow messed up the spawn timers, so we only got werewolfs. Vampire was also insta-win in PvP before fix, so everyone wanted a bite.

    We also had the squads killing of blood fiends. High level players wiping them instantly, so they could keep selling bites for 35-50k or just to troll. When accused of griefing they all be like "but it's my duty as a Fighters guild member" :dizzy:

    Than the scammers.

    I guess consoles now has the same problems, same d-bags, same pathetic behaviour. Will be much better in a few weeks tho. Than you'll get a bite for free or modest fee(travelling expenses) in a few minutes.
