    getting cp160 loot from a cp100 instance is definitely not good. If you want that gear on cp160 and can't do vet you can do normal. You won't get gold jewelry but everything else is the same.
    Don't try to excuse exploiting. Things like this lower the value for those who did vSO on CP160 and deserve the loot.

    You need to explain how to do it, if you want it fixed that is!

    Find a noob at CP 100 and make him the leader of a 13 man party and travel in to scale it down.

    I did wonder how so much gold jewelery popped up for sale this week. Time to start farming noobs and offering them 100k to group up for a day lol. The traits do need looking at. Besides jewelry which is fixed pee set I am just getting trash shite all the time.

    Blatant repeat use of exploits should be an account ban.

    what are they going to do? ban 80% of their players for picking up trash xD

    I mean seriously.

    Ban us for playing thier game and how they made it? Proper testing and we wouldn't be here. ZOS are the ones that need banning if anything. Plus if it's the game and I am not cheating at all then it's intended imo.

    i think you don't understand....mobs are cp100 and drop cp160 loot. That's not intended. They are supposed to drop cp100 loot.

    ZOS has known about the ability to scale dungeons in this way for years . You could do this even before vet ranks were introduced . Not once have they listed this as a bug . Working as intended . The loot is not as good . That's the sacrifice you make for scaling the dungeon down .

    You still don't get it, do you? Scaling down is not the exploit. Scaling it down to get maxlevel loot is.
    If you would get cp100 loot from endboss, there would be no problem. But you get CP160 loot, even if the dungeon is cp100.

    Oh I didn't see this part . Well dang it that's a bug but the players are not creating it , somethings broke on it now .

    It didn't do this before vet ranks were still active . They need to repair it . I wouldn't go calling for bans on players for scaling though . They've been allowed to scale for a long time .

    I still haven't run any of this PvE stuff yet. I need to learn how to complete these. Never knew there was a glitch.

    basically ite,s just scale to the player instead of the dungeon. You still get piles of the same continuous garbage over and over again. the caveat is you can do it faster so it's like 10-15min/farm instead of like 45.

    you get 3x the amount of prosperous knightmare junk than normal. Unless zos wants to fix droprate this bug is an absolute blessing.

    people don't realize that you only get a small % chance to get the set you're looking for, a small % chance for it to be an ite, you need, and a very, very small % chance it's a trait anything other than training/prosperous.

    gold jewelry is cool but when you can't trade it those gold yokuda rings are real depressing when you've already got the 2 vo rings you need. nearly 300nruns and the only divines vo piece I've seen was a helmet that I had to decon, I got hella lucky with the 2 infused pieces I've come across.

    basically imagine the rng from vmsa, and multiply it by however many pieces you need. Players need to understand that this does mpre good than harm.

    unless you want that jewelry to be worth 500k+ , armour 50k+ a piece, and hard to find, then be greatful it's farmable. If the item sets you want are bop (aether/vo/yokuda) it would take literal months of rng to complete your sets.

    Yeah... welcome to eso. Small percentage chance of anything you want. People realise it man. Everyone talks about it ever day on the forum. Ltr.

    And yeah... you are exploiting a glitch. Confirmed.

    I'm sure this isn't a bug and is related to when they made loot always scale to your level in scaled group dungeons before CP ranks.

    Also, people are getting monster helmets and vMA weapons (and Flawless) at non-vet by having the group scaled to a level 50.

    Besides, if you can finish vSO on CP 100, you can on CP160. It's just a tiny bit faster.

    If they're fixing it I hope they look at the loot tables aswell. It's so frustrating to know that the item you want has a less than 1% chance to drop from vSO last boss and is BoP.

    Wow, that explains quite a lot actually. I was wondering why and how some people were getting their Maelstrom weapons, after some of the horror stories I heard from some people. And when I see them, they suddenly have tons and tons of Maelstrom weapons. Wooooooow. Smh.

    I have heard people saying they are doing it on level 45 characters too and getting cp160 drops. I guess level 45 is the lowest you can do it and get cp160 gear? I just know guildies have been doing this for a couple weeks now at level 45 and get cp160 drops. Of course there will be all kinds of people defending this exploit because they use it, but it is still an exploit.

    I really don't think it matters the gear will help them improve and be better in that instance next time and you still need to know the mechanics to do the it in the first place.Most of you are just complaining because people have access to something you only used to have access to.I say let people have access to the gear it helps everyone more people are geared and ready to do the content.

    You've got to be kidding me? Players are scaling Maelstrom Arena to normal 50 and getting weapons & flawless titles? ... if that's true, I'm done. I'm not working on Flawless anymore.

    I feel like more people would be sporting the title if this were the case. I am skeptical.

    Oh and by the way, I was doing Sanctum (normal) but scaled to 160 CP for a few weeks and all of the drops were in Prosperous and Training, like 80% of the time -- it was a massive time waste in my opinion.

    Because of all the things that are broken in this game this one thing similar to the gap closer bug truly isn't hurting no one and making the game more fun for people.Another reason I have no problem with this is because it help people get gear while still dealing with the horrible RNg just makes it better.People can be upset about it but I just don't care its a non issue that really didn't need to be brought up all it does is make RNG easier.

    omg...what about those who farm vSO on CP160? they get their prices ruined by guys getting the gear on that way. It may not hurt you, but it's definetly not good for the game. You can easily farm SO on normal mode/CP160 to get purple gear which is perfectly fine for everything, so pls stop with that crap.
    I mean...instead of asking for a better lootsystem you are happy about people exploiting a bug... :o
