ZOS have proven over and over again that abuse of broken skill mechanics or bypassing a keep wall isn't an exploit.
They have never in the two years I've played done anything about this. Nightblades have been able to teleport inside keeps since launch and they never took means to fix it nor discourage its use by stating it's an exploit.
I understand those upset about the current issues, I agree it's dumb and should be an exploit but end of the day you have to accept that it isn't because ZOS refuse to deem it one.
They have no interest/ability to enforce such things in Cyrodiil. They never have and I don't see them ever choosing it, sadly this is the path they have chosen and we have given them ample feedback for two years on why this would destroy PvP for people yet they have not cared.
My advice to those looking for competitive and fair PvP is to look elsewhere, ZOS are not going to give it to you with this game.
I wouldn't hold your breath that anything will be done. They said the same about dragon leaps over gates, mundas exploit, invisible player exploits etc.XDragonDoomX wrote: »ZOS have proven over and over again that abuse of broken skill mechanics or bypassing a keep wall isn't an exploit.

They have stated that it is an exploit.

Any statement made by someone as a ZOS employee stands as long as ZOS don't amend, refuse or reject it even if the person is no more employed by the company.

Yes. However they have NEVER enforced that.
Because they don't have anywhere stating it's an exploit past one forums post that has been buried forever. Masses of players make use of such tricks and have with every issue like it so they don't bother doing bans.
The best you will get is a rushed patch to band aid the issue once it becomes a big enough complaint on the forums. Look back the the Mundas issue and how long that took to finally resolve and it was only in the last month/weeks they even declared it an exploit.
There was a leader of an EU PvP guild who openly posted a screenshot of himself with seven mundas stones active, and ZOS didn't care.
You can quote devs and demand action as much as you want, I am telling you they will not act on it because the precedent of abuse bugs being the PvP meta is established in this game.

As I posted above, now I would rather want ZOS to comment on it. They can either accept it's a bug or say it's a mechanism. Either way, they screwed up and they should atleast have the guts to accept that rather than being silent on this issue.

Wouldn't hold you breath waiting for that answer. I've tried asking @ZOS_BrianWheeler a few times in threads and been ignored. They're not going to make a statement because if they say it's an exploit they're forced to police it, if they say it's not they're letting people run rampant with it and damaging the game.
Better for them to just remain quiet and patch it out when they can, then everyone will forget it's an issue and move on, as has happened with every single issue.
I sincerely salute y'all's patience and tenacious concern in this here PR thread.
But in life, people act out of necessity.
Fighting cheats and exploits is not rational for ZOS business-wise.
They make $$$ with short-lived DLCs and the next overpriced pink-dotted mount.
The proportion of players concerned with, let alone aware of, cheats and exploits is insignificant.
There is no necessity for ZOS to address the issue in any other way than in this forum bone they're throwing us here (and possibly, the odd temp ban rumored to have happened).
A few months ago, I wanted to talk my two brothers and two gaming friends into giving ESO a go this summer.
Clearly I won't advertise the game to them any more because of the disastrous anti-cheat policy (or absence thereof).
So ZOS - you've lost four potential customers.
Possibly that's language you guys might understand.
But hey - that's still a drop in the ocean.
So, yeah.

please ZOS, show me your hammer lol
but you will not
because you cant
i dont care what you said
but for me its intended mechanics and i will continue to play like that, to use gapclosers and jump to walls
until it will not be nerfed
I hope you get your wish. It's not intended mechanics. ZoS have already stated that gaining entry to a keep without sieging is an exploit.
not fixed for 2 years of game - intended
will be nerfed - okay
until this all pvp player will use it like me
maybe zos said its not intended
well, i dont care
but its logically and obviously looks very natural for me
i have a skill to jump for big distance
im using it to up on the big wall
nothing against the nature of pvp, nothing against game atmosphere and logic

@ZOS_JessicaFolsom
Thanks for the Patch notes.
Great fix but where is the corresponding fix for DKs that are still able to get into keeps since ages?
I would really appreciate if you could discuss this with the Dev Team.
A simply question, why DKs are still allowed to jump into keeps?
It is not intended that players can completely bypass core Keep capture mechanics by leaping onto walls and into enemy Keeps. You should always have to enter enemy Keeps by taking down a door or wall - any other way is a bug. We are aware that Dragonknights have been able to do this for a while, and and are working to change it.
TBH it's not like the PvP player base are even people paying for the game any more (at least most I know aren't) so bans won't harm their revenue.clayandaudrey_ESO wrote: »LastAmbushOnEarth wrote: »XDragonDoomX wrote: »LastAmbushOnEarth wrote: »you will never got a ban for jumping to the keep walls

@ZOS_JessicaFolsom acknowledges this is a bug. Using bugs knowingly in game is an exploit.

@Azurethe I'm not even trying to antagonize you, but why is this ok behavior for you?
We don't even have a scroll and its ok for you and the emperor to get into our keep without taking the walls down and farm ap on scrubs all night?
I mean come on man where is your sense of any right and wrong here?
But I mean, its like, I look at the ground and there are like 30-40 AD dead, and I think like, this is pretty sad
Then I look at my AP per hour and it shows 160K and then I feel better about myself
Its wrong ofc, and its our issue, but its also ZOS' for breaking something so important to the game's structure
DayraK is going to have a lot of work today... This thread is exploding.
DayraK is going to have a lot of work today... This thread is exploding.
I feel sorry for the Mods in this game, but seriously, we have exploiters coming to their forums to admit they exploit and are proud of it...
How can we keep any faith on ZOS if they do nothing about this or change their positions on what is considered cheating in this game?
@UltimaJoe777 @dday3six
Apparently your discussion of legal action isn't all that absurd.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-36713061 Blizzard are doing that right now. Not sure if this is where the debate stemmed from or just a coincidence, sorry if I missed the talk of this already.
Saw more bots and speed hackers running around the coldharbour alchemy reagent route.
Followed one guy who hadn't programmed his bit correctly, so it was just going to the plants, standing over then without picking for 2 seconds, and then continuing the route.
After coming back to his computer after 2.5 hours I see him check his bag - he must have been p***ed at having no flowers - and then I tell him to stop botting. He calls me an a**hole and tells me he wasn't until I remind him I know he got no flowers because he screwed up his bot and he must be mad af.
He won't stop though. If a hacker gets off then why would people doing anything else be afraid of consequences?
Video proof of speedhacker or I don't believe you. My character is super fast because of gear and steed mundus. You'd probably call me a speed hacker.
Weren't you the one that got banned?
No naming and shaming, ZOS rules!
Is it shaming if that very same person came to the forum to complain he got wrongfully banned?
I just CBA to look for the post in this 27 page thread.

And so what? I got wrongfully suspended but a lot of people in this forum have and several more are salty and act so horribly and I am sure there's way less speed hacking/cheating than people in here like to think.
Every scrub who gets beat is calling cheat, and I betcha I picked someone else's columbine, so apparently speedhax.
I mean seriously. I pick flowers when I'm on the phone, playing hangman or other games with my kids or watching my husband play destiny etc. Speedhakcing would defeat the whole point of not having to pay attention.
So prove it or go away.
No more witch-hunt.

You're just another filthy exploiting cheater attempting to justify their behavior while ignoring the rules and statements of the game's developers and representatives. Get out of our game and our forums. We don't want your kind anywhere near the game we love.LastAmbushOnEarth wrote: »@XDragonDoomX i asked about real proof, not this
