Here are the facts:
ZOS admitted to an error in coding 2 years ago regarding this particular resource.
Here is the objective of the game:
To control objectives for your faction in order to gain pts for your faction at each score evaluation.
Here is the reality:
It doesn't matter what ZOS does the mistake was admitted and blame has been laid.
The player have acted in accordance with the objectives of the map and have not altered cheated or exploited any part of the coding in order to gain an advantage over any other player.
There can be no action taken against the players when ZOS was made aware of the bug on February 7th by the players via their own bug forum.
If ZOS takes adverse action against any player it would be a public relations nightmare for ZOS and there share holders.
What ZOS should have done was hot fix the error immediately.
Precedence for this type of activity was set when this occurred during the release of the CP system. ZOS made the error and took weeks to correct and punished no one nor did they roll back any of the CP that had been earned which by the way clearly gave advantage to many players hence why the gated CP system was introduced.
There is nothing more to discuss other than when the hotfix will be released.
You are like a little kid, face full of cookie crumbs, standing next to an empty cookie jar, telling mommy you didn't eat all the cookies, and if you did it was no big deal because cookies are made to be eaten.
are they not made to be eaten? If I was stealing them then yeah it would be an issue, but I'm not. I am simply turning a resource from one color to the appropriate color of the faction that owns the keep. I can not alter the fact that it provides more AP than others and it would be illogical to simply ignore the fact that it is blue when it is a yellow home keep. Perhaps you can tell the other factions that are located to the east and west to stay in their territory. One should never cross a bridge or a gate for the purpose of gaining something that is not theirs to begin with.
Interpretation is a very hard process, many players simply make judgements based on their own character or experience. When you are dealing with a global population you can not impose your own values on others. It always requires compromise that's what democracy is suppose to be about. ZOS has had a week to act on this and hotfix it. They are the ones who have failed in a responsibility to the players. It's also up to them to decide what is right and wrong.

You are using a lot of words trying to explain that you didn't knowingly use an exploit. You got caught.

They should however have that AP removed just like the grand overlords who sold the scrolls should have that gold removed.

You guys have never established a rule about AP farming or switching resources back and forth . This would be an opportunity to make a rule finally and hand out warnings to anyone that continues to bend the rules for AP will now be considered breaking the rules . The second reason is this was reported publicly by players to let you know what was going on . We need more clearly written rules in Cyrodiil and this is your chance .
Am I jealous of those that got a ton of easy AP ? No .. not really . I'm more concerned with the over all future and health of PVP .
