AP Exploiters Everywhere

Berenhir

Hello ZoS,

I was roaming Cyrodiil with my neglected templar healer in a random PuG when I encountered the most hilarious thing:

People from AD and DC (and surely some from EP do it as well) met at ressources in Cyrodiil (e.g. Black Boot, where they think noone encounters them) and happily flip the flag back and forth for the new AP Bonus.

Is this how you imagine your PvP? I have recorded a video on my channel.I just wanted to call out these abusive players, just in case they ever want to brag with their alliance rank

Genious...and needs nerf

lol I foresaw this happening and well it did; Surprised they didn't do it in IC where it's mostly vacant.

FriedEggSandwich

Intentionally naming and shaming? Good luck.

phairdon

Saw this happening on TF last weekend.

Unsent.Soul

OP, you know things like this have been happening long before the new update?

Nothing was done then, why all of a sudden do you imagine change?

Yes, weird it was not common years ago. probably require too many players to organize well.
Good news is that this will be easier to do in an battleground

The best part is the flying bear at the end. Is that EU? I didn't recognize any names, though you should list them in the comments on your video for concise reference later.

This always happens, it's just worth more now.

Yeah, i know. But the amout of AP they do now with it is just too abusive to stay silent.

Koolio

Wait there's actually people near black boot. First I've ever heard of that. Good job ZOS.

In all seriousness though. Don't you think that they will get bored and go back to fighting in a week or two?

This makes no difference. Hell, might jump on and get your grind on.

IcyDeadPeople

They are doing all that just to get 1500 AP? You can get more from just killing one enemy player.

Ch4mpTW

This ought to be good. I wonder what type of defenses people will come to about this.

Ulfgarde

Funnily, I see most high-ranked AD / DC there. Still watching them jump on their alts and run.

Absolutely amazing. And nothing will happen either.

Please report all @ names if you're on PC EU. Include this video. Help rid the scum.

ExcaliburESO

Wanna fix it ban them dont remove good reason to take flags , keeps and spread around the map.

That specific resource is giving far more than 1500.

Yep. And some of them always act like they are so pro. Funny tbh.

Everyone causes a big scene when lowbies and noskills can get ap. But noone ever wanted to stop AP farmers from killing there own guildees on other factions to boost. There both a problem. Ap doesnt need to be nerfed. Im glad theres a bigger reward for us people who chose to actually play the game and hold resource and castles. Actually is a tiny bit in the right direction to keep people from just sitting on resources getting kills. In here to play and win not play team death match on a resource not helping me team at all and im glaf there pushing people away from it.

What we need is gamemasters. Spend some that big money your making ZoS and monitor our PvP better. Im not saying ban them, but kicking them from the server and giving the a timeout would be a start. Like a certain time before they can join back. Or maybe even when you kick them from the server the get kicked off leaderboards also.

If thats not an option for whatever reasons, when we send in videos of it actually happening from players with good standing in the community watch them. Punish them. Not to knock ZoS but it seems alot of the videos we send in of exploits or boosters gets no attention.

Dont punish all of us excited were getting decent ap for actually playing the campaign right, instead crackdown on those abusing it. Sorry for the long post and thanks for whoever bothers to read it and hear me out.

It's tactical retreating

TequilaFire

Been going on since game launch, used to be you would farm the gate walls by dropping oil on your willing friends.

mdylan2013

Ps4 EU is full of boosting and AP cheats tbh, most AD and EP emperors only get to number one by cheating these days. It's a shame ZOS won't make a stand on it

Tryxus

Funny how it says "Exploit now" at 0:40s

Recremen

Mmmmm that 10k AP an hour from resource exchanging, totally worth it imho.

It seems that the mechanics work differently and its worth more due to the amount of enemy players in the area. But wont "test" it myself. Perhaps the guys from Astrum Herois have some better insight into the mechanics.

DreadKnight

Lol Team Green!

brandonv516

They're all likely real life exploiters who cheat on exams, abuse food stamps, steal their neighbors WiFi, etc.

Would you expect anything different in a game?

Decado

Just do what they did with players add diminishing returns, you cap a resource then that resource will give you pitiful AP returns for the next hour they wanna flip resources to earn AP make the *** run around the map to do it.

Iselin

Lol. I like how your add-on is saying "Exploit now!"
