How to report Gap closer abuse...

FortheloveofKrist · July 2016

So there are three reds outside the DC sewer entrance (PS4 NA). They got up there because another DC is standing on the platform just as you walk out. He sits there so his buddies can gap close onto the platform. Then all three reds just wait and pound anyone who walks out the door to enter the sewers. And if they happen to get by, the DC just shadows the person to let the reds know where they are.

I thought this type of gap closing to jump onto restricted areas was a bannable offense? I have video of the group working together and of them gap closing onto the platform. How do I submit this video and report these players?

'One Tamriel' will be knocking down the walls keeping the alliances separate in the PvE areas. That makes it all the MORE mission-critical that steps are taken to enforce and even strengthen the separation of the alliances in cyrodiil and the imperial city.

I propose that each account chooses an alliance for PvP, and every character on that account thus always enters the PvP areas flying that alliance banner.

Those who have the 'any race any alliance' option be free to make any race for any *PvE* alliance, so if someone who fights in cyrodiil for the Aldmeri can go ahead and play a new alt khajiit in the snows of eastmarch... But upon entering the PvP areas that cat will fight under the AD flag.

Because the problem described by the OP isn't a technical issue that can be fixed by fiddling with the gap closer code, it's a problem in allowing an an abuseable aspect of PvE to bleed over into the PvP segment.

A line needs to be drawn. If it isn't drawn, the developers are going to be spending resources chasing down minor bugs being abused by players who exploit the free travel between alliances.

I would respectfully disagree. I definitely don't want to be tied to one campaign and therefore one faction for PVP.

I actually agree, but then again I am a Hardcore AD only guy, all my ALT's are AD as well..

and the one time I created a DC Alliance ALT by mistake, even though it hurt because of the time spent creating him, I deleted him and did not look back..

Ingenious. We can't have any of that around here. Fall in line and conform.

Same here. All of my toons are part of the Banana squad.

Just an FYI, reporting people for this exploit does absolutely nothing

Jeeeez...start seing the bigger picture!!!

What good does that if everyone chooses AD for example? Who you going to fight? Deer? Birds? Campaigns need to be balanced sometimes and therefore whole guilds reroll to make it that balanced.

Behavior like OP described sucks but that kind of stuff is just idiotic but will always happen.
Report it. Zerg them down. All you can do at this moment.

And I hear people are getting banned for it.

Report away I say!

Of course, it doesn't harm to report

I really don´t like that idea. I want to be able to change alliance when I want. Why would that be solving the issue of gapclosing in any way?

I'd like to see this too, being a player with multiple characters on all three alliances. At this stage only one is in pvp. Somewhere along the line, another one of my characters is going to join the campaign, because I want some the of pvp skill lines. This means playing the character on a opposing faction.

Who cares? People get banned in this game even when they play 100% legit, no cheats, no exploits and have video proof of it.
