Swiftly Forgotten Should Work While Offline

I'm fairly new to the game. For a while I only played casual and recently became interested in doing endgame content at some point. With that in mind, I decided to make a new character.
I looked for quick ways to level, and most of them required a friend to do effectively (which I don't currently have). But one tactic I found that I was able to pull off on my own was killing the NPC's in the gambling community in Reaper's March. Apparently, I had no idea of how the bounty system worked when I started leveling like this, because I originally thought that when you were killed by the guards, your bounty was paid in full. As I found out, when you're killed, the guards take your money and stolen items, and your bounty is reduced by the amount of gold taken. So the only way to get rid of the bounty is to pay it off or let it decay.
Well, I have a bounty of over 4 million gold, and it would be great if I didn't have to make a new character. If I let the bounty decay without any help, it would take upwards of a full (real time) year for this bounty to fully decay. I would honestly be fine with this if the skill Swiftly Forgotten worked while logged off. With the skill maxed out, it would take about 2 months for the bounty to fully decay. This is much more reasonable to me. That's still a fairly extensive time period to be on the guard's radar while having to dedicate 4 skill points to an, otherwise, less useful skill for the entirety of the 2 months.
So I'm fine with the bounty system as is, but I think there should be a better way of getting rid of an extremely high bounty; and I also think that adjusting Swiftly Forgotten to allow it to work while the character is offline is a fair way to accomplish this.

✭✭Grinding dolmens is much faster.
Just roll a new character and go type "LFG dolmen" in alik desert.2 -

✭✭Given your situation, going to town will be the only thing that is problematic...
PVP and dungeons will be fine.
I'm curious though... how much XP were you able to generate? In other words did you use this "leveling technique" to get all the way to level 50?

jpl7340✭✭✭It was confirmed to me via email from the support team that is does not work while offline.
It is indeed a problem going into cities. But it also makes it impossible to upgrade riding skills or inventory without the use of crowns.
And yes, I was able to level from 10ish to 50 using this method. It took a total of about 10-15 hours with +50% exp pots, ESO+ and blue exp gear (upgraded every 10 lvls). Aside from the outrageous bounty, it's very effective.Edited by jpl7340 on August 30, 2017 3:36AM0 -

✭✭✭✭✭I've heard conflicting information regarding Swiftly Forgotten over the years. Some say it's WAI (Swiftly only works online; normal degradation kicks in once you go offline). Others say it's been bugged for a long time (Swiftly should work both online/offline).Edited by Cadbury on August 30, 2017 3:52AM"If a person is truly desirous of something, perhaps being set on fire does not seem so bad."0 -

You can go to safe zones to do everything- Cyrodiil and Coldharbor. NPCs still talk to you.1 -
