    It's pretty sad to see people doing this with no shame. Might have to start farming the mammoth for loot. ;)

    I really don't care if they exploit it or not. When they start to complain and curse others then and only then will I go after the mammoth. If they wanna sit there it's fine by me. Just don't clutter my text with crazy ***. On the other side it's a great place to farm soul gems. The gear is trash and plunder skulls will be gone after Monday so who really cares.

    Group is still out there exploiting, constantly complaining at anyone that kills the mammoth to kite it away instead of kill it.

    There were people there earlier who KNEW that they were exploiting and kept farming. @ZOS_GinaBruno

    The easy solution is to kill the giant and the mammoth if you need the achievement. Because nobody gets to tell you when you can or cannot do that. We all bought the game, we all have equal stake in the activities.

    If anyone complains, add them to your ignore list. Don't antagonize them. Don't engage them in zone chat. Just move on to one of the dozens of other opportunities in the game. Then ZOS can assess the 'core group' camping the site.

    Because as it stands now, a lot of people are just exacerbating the problem by arguing over it and counter-camping. It's reported. Let ZOS police it.

    "Let ZOS police it." That's hilarious. The exploiters have known about this spot and ones just like it for a long time. They even admit to it in zone chat. It's come into prominence due to farming the skulls and people hoping to store all the event only items and go long with them in guild stores. ZOS isn't policing anything like always.

    ahhhhh now I finally understand the rift zone chat "DONT KILL THE MAMMOTH"

    I was so puzzled as to why people were freaking over some mammoth lol.

    Where did you see them say they support exploiting? Lol. People need to chill, I honestly don't know how people make it through the day when such insignificant things bother them so much.

    Some folks just don't understand sarcasm, it seems.

    The point was that the reply she gave didn't address the issue the OP raised. Sadly, it's also the way support tickets are generally handled. No one bothers to read before they reply any more.

    Well I am a dumb one as I was one who did this for about 15 minutes. Didn't really think it was an exploit at the time, but now I see it was. Apologies for all

    I think you guys just gave me something to do. I'mma go on and see if they're doing it on XB1 NA and if they are, well then it's time to grief the cheaters.

    Edit: Oh yeah, counted 20 players doing it right now.

    Edit 2: The Mammoth has too much health for me to take down quick enough before it's taunted away, however, singled out the sole player taunting the Mammoth out of bounds and resetting it's health over and over, and now there's a ticket in the system. Another Vigilante job well done.

    They're still out there, complaining about people ruining their exploiting, when the mammoth is killed. They claim ZoS doesn't care because "if they didn't want us to exploit it, they would have fixed it by now"

    Rock bottom mentality
    /eyeroll

    This has been the excuse of every exploiter every time an exploit comes to "public" knowledge.

    Yep. Next up will be "I didn't know it was an exploit."

    I posed a video of this problem, hopefully during this maintenance, the issue is fixed, and anyone taking advantage of this exploit gets a good whack on the head with the ban hammer.

    Hope you guys are screenshotting the alledged exploiters to send with your reports. Nothing worse than a bunch of cheaters who can't play the game properly. They probably cheat and lie their way in real life, scumbags.

    I second this. Even though I knew there was nothing worse than cheating, I actually used cheat codes on GTA3 and I too cheat and lie my way through real life.

    Pls help, I need to stop.

    A few friends and I went and griefed the exploit for about an hour by priority-killing the mammoth.

    We were just clearing WBs in the zone and would have been on our merry way, but we were called bad names and so we stayed. And stayed. And stayed. Until the bad people left. Exploiters are bad people. Bad people make the world a smelly place to live. The End.

    I enjoyed making the " rotten folk" mad the other day by killing the mammoth. Taking them on in game and letting them know that some of us do not care for their language, behavior and attitude.
    I would like to add a positive comment here for ESO: the Halloween Content is fun, fun, fun and our guild has been having an amazing good time. I am looking forward to the "New Years" activities and housing. So Thank You and know that there is appreciation even when we are reporting the things we think need a fix.
