Impossible to get Set Gear.

Chrysa1is

There are sets out there that every player wants. Some are harder to acquire than others and I know it isn't literally impossible, although it does seem it, but lately I've heard many players say that people are being punished and receiving messages from the devs or mods if they farm a dungeon or certain zone for a certain amount of time. I don't know if that is in-game or on these very forums, or whether it is actually true. If anyone could verify or give any insight that'd be great.

I've put hours into getting one set piece I need and I haven't been able to get it. The only way of getting this set piece only by defeating the last boss of the dungeon or by being lucky and finding it in chests located around the dungeon.

The dungeon in question is Cradle of Shadows. Widowmaker, Hand of Mephala and Gossamer Weapons and Jewellery can only be obtained in chests and after beating Velidreth; which is what I want. The bosses during the dungeon only drop the armour pieces. I think you should be able to get every item piece from any boss, because its just ridiculous and difficult otherwise. Now while I will continue to do this dungeon, I will be very angry if I get flagged for farming a set I can only acquire in one place, from Velidreth, which is the last boss, because it is the ONLY way to get it.

I'm sure the same thing goes for others and i'm not the only one having these issues. I know my voice won't be heard as such, but I hope the game devs at least consider making certain stuff more easier to acquire by not limiting it to only one specific boss in a dungeon.

Not saying it's lies you're being told (as I have no idea), but I do find all that hard to believe. This game is all about farming and endless grinds.

I can kinda see it on PC where exploits are more common and more easily abused. That being said I've never heard of such a thing outside of guild masters sending mail etc.

I've spent many hours repeating CoA and never received a message of any kind, nor have any of the players (thinking of the 350 runs of one poster) mentioned such a thing.

Could also someone just misinterpreting a message ment for something else?

My thoughts exactly, that's the whole point of the game. And it would be stupid if you got flagged for that.

What does it mean to be "flagged" for farming a dungeon?

Chrysa1is

I've heard about people receiving messages at some point after farming for hours. Just saying what I've heard. I'm guessing they believe they've been watched or something. Hence the flagging.

I only exist in the same places to farm gear. Over. And over. And over.
There's an entire world of Tamriel that I only get to see when I am skyshard hunting.

I seriously do not understand why anyone would "get a message" for being in a specific zone for hours or what that message would even say.

The day the devs ban a player for legit farming is the day I leave. That is to say I don't believe for a second that anyone is getting flagged for any normal gameplay, including farming. If the stories you hear are true, then there is more to it than that.

Bots, for instance.
