    The worst part is when it finally puts you in a group, your healer turns into a werewolf, your tank has 14k HP and the dps is heavy armor, using a restro staff and a two handed sword on the backbar. Then comes the 15 minute penalty before the cycle starts anew.

    Rulz of Morrowind:
    • The first rule of Morrowind is: You do not talk about Morrowind.
    • The second rule of Morrowind is: You do not talk about Morrowind.
    • Third rule of Morrowind: Someone yells NDA stuff, uploads images, streams, the game is over.
    • Fourth rule: only invited players can test.
    • Fifth rule: one invite at a time, fellas.
    • Sixth rule: crying or bashing on pts.
    • Seventh rule: NDA will go on as long as they have to.
    • And the eighth and final rule: If this is your first invite at Morrowind, you have to play.

    Recently, a small number of players discovered a way to kill Saint Olms + 2 (Hard mode in Veteran Asylum Sanctorium) from safely outside his room where he could not attack them. This is not only unintended and an exploit, but it cheapens the time and work put in by players who have legitimately beat this fight and earn a very difficult achievement and reward. As a result, we have permanently banned all players – 34 accounts in all – who used the exploit to complete the kill and earn the special achievement and skin in this way. We will not be considering overturns for these account bans. They are permanent and final.

    We are working on a fix for this exploit, but we will not be able to deploy it until Monday at the earliest. We will be watching things closely over the weekend. After we deploy the fix on Monday, we will do another audit of kills for this fight. Be warned: we will permanently ban any additional players who use the exploit over the weekend.

    AWESOME!
    I don't care how many excuses people make, you KNOW when you are doing wrong! Exploiting/cheating is doing just that.
    I fully support this type of punishment for such actions and hope you guys continue to do this to exploiters in the future.
    Good job ZOS!

    On a side note, I believe that the reason players did this was not only for the skin and the weapons, but mainly to sell runeboxes and skins.

    This has been why players sell the Dromathra and Fabrication Sheathe skins as well (although obviously through non exploit-related methods). Could we please fix this? Increase how many potions are provided per craft attempt from 4 to 10, and provide players with even more Undaunted Plunder the farther they get into a trial and for HM completes. If gear isn't made BoE then this is the way to do it. Spell/Weapon pots are ridiculously expensive for the majority of players to maintain.

    sry, but nonsense meanwhile. the pots decreased in price already and the plunder even helps an inflation.

    Ouch. While the points made were valid, I feel that a permanent ban is way too harsh. Perhaps a month-long ban would fit better, just for this instance.

    Don't get me wrong; I'm not on the exploiters' side. I dislike exploits, but there have been plenty of instances where exploits have gone unfixed, such as the vRoM skip, and the more serious vMoL exploit had gone unpunished as well; this had given the community this brash mentality to exploit freely. This sudden acknowledgement of and punishment for a major exploit, while a huge step in the right direction, just feels way too sudden and overzealous.

    I have no qualms about future major exploits being perma-bannable, but this one should really serve as a warning first. RIP the time and effort spent in 34 accounts just for a bad decision to ruin it all.

    Hopefully ZOS will keep this up and continue to fix exploits. The one in vRoM, afaik, is still there.

    Finally some rightful punishment thanks ZOS.

    Also for those that do not understand it: there is a HUGE difference between finding a bug and purposly abusing it.

    I agree 100%! On the PTS me and a tank friend of mine found that you could attack him through the closed door. Paul turned it in to Finn IMMEDIATELY. That is finding a bug and doing the right thing when you find it!

    I for one want to EARN my clear!

    This, ZOS should also perma ban all old exploiters too that get 72h Ban.

    No they fixed this in one of the releases on the PTS. That is how it pulls you in the door when someone agro's Olms. That is another way it seems.

    Hasn't the DLC only been out for FOUR DAYS on consoles?!

    If only these people spent their brainpower on real completions and not on discovering glitches, we'd have a lot more vMoL and vHoF progressions reaching completion.
