Dragonstar Arena Leaderboards Must be Wiped

Currently it's possible to downscale VETERAN DSA to below champion level (e.g. 37 on the screenshot below), and still get the score and get to the leaderboards (including current weekly on PC EU). Look at those 3 brave players (position 5) who don't even have champion points cap (found them in some guild roster):
Proof that scoring works in vet DSA (level 37 mobs, but vitality bonus and points are in the right bottom corner):
Of course, I'm not gonna explain how it is done, because it's slightly more than just having non vet in a group, but it's a very known method that people used to get vet Maw of Lorkhaj achievements before ZOS added cp160 requirement to them. Hope it will be fixed as fast as possible, but I guess many people are going to get free weekly rewards this time
@Nifty2g will be probably interested, since his team cares about the score a lot

It should be a progression, nothing should be handed to you, that's just silly, you don't learn anything.

Both of them sound like a bug to me, and you know what they said about exploits. I expect it to be fixed soon, just seems like you are cutting corners at progression and I hope to god ZOS are not promoting that, players need the experience

Being in an end game guild, you will start to notice that you want players with experience rather than the gear, because even if they have the gear they still won't know that much and will have no progression at all and end up getting no where basically.

So that is why scaled gear is a horribly disgusting idea.

I agree. But you know whats even more shameful?
Considering how Zenimax handled such issues in the past, the worst the exploiters can possibly get is a 3 days ban...
Even cheat engine user's score werent removed from vMA leaderboards as far as I know...Edited by LadyNalcarya on August 18, 2016 1:29AMDro-m'Athra Destroyer | Divayth Fyr's Coadjutor | Voice of Reason

I don't know what level the loot is.

✭✭✭✭✭What weekly rewards does vDSA granting?
Last week AA was MOL loot, so DSA will also give MOL loot i think. I asked that questions weeks ago but nobody from zos answer....
My hopes for weekly
AA, HR, SO = yokeda, ophidian, mage
MOL = Alkosh, moondancer ...
DSA = master weapons and/or Footmen, healer jewerly gold (just for money;-))
And yes it is a shame that every new be can downscale for score, loot or achievement and they dont learn...
ICP, WGT downscale for archievement
MOL downscale for archievement
MOL, AA, HR, SO downscale for CP160 loot
CoS and RoM downscale for skins
And now DSA for leaderboard and i also think cp 160 loot
And all is possible with a complete group full of CP160 and higher.Edited by The_Saint on August 18, 2016 7:51AM3 -
juhasman✭✭✭✭Well sad thing is that it's not even a cheating. If someone can downscale dungeons, trials and get achievements it's obvious he can do the same with vDSA. Leaderboards for vDSA should be only for cp160 runs same like for vet trials atm.Edited by juhasman on August 18, 2016 7:59AM0 -

Have you noticed that there hasn't been so much nerf calls lately? I believe it is because there is now this way of farming end gear. Be careful what you wish for. Until ZOS can make multiple difficulty levels and tokens, this is a good choice.

It's not just scaling to lower cp level, it's scaling a veteran dungeon/trial to normal level, that shouldn't be possible at all. Some people do vet dungeons on level 10 and get all the achievements. I don't care about them, but when they come and do it with vDSA and get the score, then it's a problem and an intentional cheating.Edited by andy_s on August 18, 2016 8:04AMWorld's First Cloudrest Hardmode + Speed Run + No Death w/ HODORTick-Tock Tormentor & All vHoF Achievements done w/ ChimairaWorld's First Sanctum Ophidia Difficult Mode (patch 1.5)World#2 vMoL All Achievements w/ Aquila Raiders3 -

You can do whatever the *** you want as long as you don't benefit from it, Meteor 300 times in a row NPCs without getting XP or loot, I don't care, but steal leaderboard spots, and you should taste the banhammer.Edited by ZOS_PeterT on August 18, 2016 2:35PMPC EU - Zahraji of the Void, aka "Kitty", the fluffiest salmon genocider in town.

It is cheating. It was never possible to get a score with downscaled trial and its not intended.
Also, even if you did, lets say vMA on vr15 character (when vet ranks were a thing), you werent able to get weekly loot.

I don't see how, all I see is a way for people to bypass a learning process. Gear doesn't automatically make you good, it used to, however in the new "meta" mechanics are much more punishing, staying alive and knowing fights is key
