OP puts this scroll trolling into the same level of obvious cheating for gain (achievements and making gold, etc.). However, does not explain how being silly, maybe a little absurd, is the same as blatant cheating.
Please do enlighten and explain why this scroll trolling issue is a banable offense.
It would be interesting to see what she said that stoked the replies posted in that SS.

Griefing other players is against TOS. Perhaps you should read them. I certainly read the forum TOS I just knowingly violated.

Today I had the "pleasure" of being in the receiving end of the whole scroll griefing that goes on in cyrodil. He went and took THREE Elder scrolls far into slaughterfish waters with his argonian swimming speed so that the scrolls would be out of reach. This one person apparently is toxic in all three factions and felt invincible when doing it, just like the VAS exploiters that felt they wouldn't be banned (yet apparently scroll griefing is ok?). How is it ok for people to ruin the pvp aspect of Cyrodil for HUNDREDS of other people yet pve gets priority in bans with the whole VAS exploit. One ruins Cyrodil for hundreds of paying pvpers and another ruins bragging rights for a few talented pvers. We pvpers need to be thrown a bone man and Zos needs to be consistent among things in the TOS and do something about this or toxic people will continue ruining the game for others while laughing at zos. Also this is one of the reasons we need a faction loyalty campaign. Also add in a water detection for scrolls or something.

The same I could say about PvE community and their elitists. Their attitude is one of reasons why I don't see PvE end game way too appealing, but then again it wouldn't be fair to judge entire PvE community based on some bad apples.
Just like it wouldn't be fair to judge entire PvP community based on some bad apples. You know, we all aren't the same.
Also what comes with trolling with scrolls, I've seen it once at Cyrodiil. Bigger group sieged keep open and tried to take the scroll, but two guys outside of the group decided to steal the scroll instead. When this bigger group decided to follow and guard these scroll carriers, instead of running, they started walking and were telling how they are superior compared to group of players and they don't need guarding, they are 1vsX players.
So these two got exactly what they deserved: This bigger group left these guys alone and they had a chance to take 2 vs 48 against DC and EP groups. That must've been fun.

Have you?
To think there is any incentive or reward to PvP according to the map is silly. Campaign score means nothing, AP is much more important since you can still buy gear and motifs with AP which get you good setups or money.
You know what's funny though? The people that make the most AP- are the ones who rarely play the map.
It's so ironic that the die hard faction loyalty players who swear by their colors and only play the map don't make the most AP-, usually don't get on the top of the leaderboard (meaning no gold rewards for you), yet put in more time than those who just resource farm and kill players.
Oh and thanks to ZoS you can play virtually any faction and still pool all your AP into the bank, encouraging people even more to faction hop.
Keep living in your fantasy world where people take arbitrary numbers on the scoreboard and point + click brain dead siege mechanics seriously. All of that got very old after 2014. There's nothing special, strategic or difficult about amassing as many players as the game can handle just to blitz keeps and "PvP" against guards and players.

It was a minor act of defiance against a completely zerged down map. The entire map was Yellow. Actual PVP had ended at that point if you were AD as the other two factions were gone. People like the OP are not interested in actual PVP, they want to stack bodies at keeps, turn them into their color and high five each other back at the gate.
For the OP, you talk about how this should be bannable due to the fact that it takes the enjoyment out of PVP for paying customers. Where is my enjoyment when, as a DC, I have your meme of an emperor and pugs stacked at Rayles or Warden? Who can I lodge a complaint with about the lack of civility and sportsmanship that entails? Or maybe I don't and I just press on getting zerged repeatedly until enough resources and keeps are starting to burst on the map that it enables a breakout. You already have called camping tri-keeps a viable strat. Sure seems what the dunking argonian did here was equally as viable. He kept members of your faction staring at scrolls in the water for...15 minutes. Theoretically time to burst a keep whilst you were all off....pvping elsewhere...

He got three of them seperately, in succession, and the faction let him do it each time...his man deserves an in game book placed at....I dunno...Blackboot...about his deeds
