Above is a link to the original thread.

Before I continue: there is a youtube video below in which a player is killing an enemy player who was standing completely still. The player then gains the AP tick (which diminishes) then the player will gain the defensive tick, which does not diminish. If this is not considered exploiting or cheating then this thread will serve as an educational purpose for effective methods of farming AP. If this is an effective method of farming AP then the user in question is not being flamed and the thread cannot be removed since it is not against the forum terms of service.

On the other hand if this practice is considered exploiting or cheating then the video could be considered evidence of said behavior and opening a thread to flame a user, in which case this thread should be taken down and the video watched as well as the evidence investigated by ZoS.

Here is a link to the video

That dude is 100% boosting even I have video proof which will be uploaded of this guy calling AD to kill me because I was following him for about 5 minutes. After I had died my friend came over and started fighting them, the player then came over and tapped them with a crushing shock to make sure he gets AP for the kill.

Even if they cared the response would be that it's a "grey area". Next time when you report tell them that this behaviour destroys your RP event, you have a higher chance of a response then.

This....right here....makes the reality of how people get emp....absolutely hilarious as far as "governing fair play" or maintaining an "honor" system.

I play quite often - and am lucky to have a solid group of friends to play with - and we make a lot of AP - but there is this one guy....who just stays 200K ahead of me....

Have you asked him if he'd mind stopping to make AP to let you get emp once - if you haven't had it?

I've swapped toons (and even dropped campaigns) many times to let other people pass me (if they've never been emp)..

This will really upset you then. 10 people defend an outpost from a zerg. 9 of those people run like hell out of the radius of the outpost after wiping the zerg. The one person left receives all the AP from the defense. ALL of it. 40k+ defenses in 5-10 minutes? Yes, it's a reality.

lol ZOS seems to care more about RP than anything in the game. lol mention PVP though and it no ETA at this time. You breathe in the wrong direction by an RPer and your banned for two days. It's an absolute joke. So we might as well keep this thread of subject so it gets closed because nothing has been done to improve the performance in PVP let alone some one AP farming their friend. When I was on PC the lag was unreal and it seems that it still hasn't changed since I went to Xbox. Sucks for PC yall have been putting up with that crap way too long. lol Xbox campaign's do lag but Xbox and PS players have no clue what REAL ESO LAG is haha. #FixYourGameZoS

I love the logical tradeoff you presented in your post. Since you are NOT shaming this activity in any way, be merely calling for a discussion as to its function in the game, ZOS would actually have to condemn this behavior in order to take this post down. Brilliant.

If this is a permitted "clever use of game mechanics" , then by all means the PvP community should be able to discuss it and its impact on the game.
