Maintenance for the week of November 4:

Players who traded shoulders should be punished

heydomerrydo
Per the patch notes:
Fixed an issue that caused some Undaunted shoulder chest rewards to be tradeable with party members.

Players who took advantage of this unintended bug (exploit) should be punished just like the players who exploited experience gains.

    Now that is some logical thinking.

    Undaunted Shoulders should be tradable for 2x Keys, imo...

    I am serious. Getting gear you shouldn't is way worse than gaining too much xp. If it were mael weapons we would see an uproar.

    Who says they aren’t being punished? ZOS doesn’t have to announce everything they do to fix accounts. They could have gone behind the scenes and done some clean-up.

    They made a post on the XP bug due to the scale of the mess it made.

    Just curious @heydomerrydo -- as someone who feels that way, what do you think of my solution? If you have Keys to "buy" shoulder drops group members get, didn't you "pay the price" by doing your pledges?

    I ask because I don't quite understand the position of other people having nice things being bothersome in any way.

    If it were up to me, you'd still need to earn Maelstrom weapons, but they'd be obtainable for everyone if they put in the effort. Maybe make them drop on normal, but make normal a bit less forgiving for ignoring mechanics, for example. Currently vMA is simply impossible for many players who don't have the skill/time/ability to clear it. Rewards for truly difficult content should be more cosmetic and/or non-combat oriented, imo.

    Didn't say they weren't but it's been an entire week to take advantage of it instead of just a couple hours. I just don't want Zos picking and choosing what they consider worth banning when an exploit is an exploit.

    everythings an exploit these days and the butthurt people coming out of the woodwork asking for the banhammer is getting ridiculus. methinks the OP got in trouble for something before and just wants everyone else to feel the pain.

    ZOS dont have to tell you squat about their intentions and they will not and should not tell you if they punish someone else. Just give it a rest banhammer fans.

    you are trying to superimpose two exploits that are clearly not equal. I can see someone who doesn't stay up to date on the patch notes might think the shoulders are now tradeable.

    Ultimately, it's not up to you. If ZOS wants to do something about it, they will. If they don't, they won't. No one here has any say in it.

    Just continue to play and do your own thing and let ZOS deal with what they consider to be relevant.

    Maybe they increased xp gains? or some event people aren't aware of? ignorance isn't an excuse

    gaining levels in rapid succession? no I think not. there is a spectrum of unacceptable in game behavior. its not as simple as black and white.

    If they think trading shoulders is an exploit what do they think about trading dungeon gear among group members? Obviously we should all have to get our own drops and never ever share loot or else we're cheating.

    They'll shUT the game down in seconds and ban everyone if xp or cash shop is involved..but anything else they'll let slide.

    Doubtful. OP made his account five minutes before posting this topic. It's likely one of the banned ones.

    It's about what is intended. You are allowed to trade dungeon gear but not undaunted gear so yea.

    They should also ban the people who were exploiting to get around the Item Deletion confirmation on Items....

    Helms are undaunted gear, placing them behind RNG boxes doesn't make them not undaunted sets
