sounds like the dude using that would die really fast if he cant choose when to use is stamina or not ...

Well that´s no problem with unlimited rss. I have experienced several times, that some players just auto dodge every arrow, spell and even aoe you throw at them. They are impossible to snare or even fossilize, they just magically and swift continue on as nothing happened. I´m sure I´m not the only one that have seen this, am i right?

I dont say cheating cant happened otherwise, what am i saying is that sometimes, people are saying "you are cheater" too easily...

I had been report one because on 7 hits i got 7 criticals strikes, on a build specificaly to do that (high critical rate), i was at range and nobody even tried to focus me (and if i m caught i can get burn down by a tank...), and maybe OP is here is saying that, i idnt say he lied, or L2P !

i just sayed that sometimes, math are against you, like a guy who roll dodge (and there is no reason why) and he escape from your arrow or whatever you want just by doing random [snip] !

Bunny hopping isn't cheating, nor is it an exploit. At least, that's my understanding based on all the threads about it in this forum. It might be annoying as heck, but if you report a bunny-hopping player with the expectation that he or she will be banned, prepare to be disappointed.

My health bar often doesn't budge much at all under a massive assault in PvE, but that also depends on the situation (i.e., not all PvE bosses are equal). I seriously doubt I'd be able to say the same thing in PvP, though. But I'm just saying, that type of thing could be perfectly normal and legal depending on the players' builds, gear, etc.

And players who are farming can have very predictable routes and actions, too. Speaking strictly for myself, I've noticed that I tend to fall into a monotonous, unvarying route if I'm farming while dog tired-- farming in my sleep, as it were. But normally I'll run around willy-nilly depending on which nodes look the most attractive according to which types of materials I most need.

Last night someone got hit with several 5 k spell / weapon damage, 10 k pen, while defiled, attacks at 100 health and didnt even lost 1 mm of health. I didnt record it, cuz i have mine turned off now cuz it caused stutters, but it is happening, and it realy turns ppl off of doing pvp.

I've yet to be turned on to doing PvP, so the only way I would ever see anything like that is if it were being streamed on Twitch, or if someone posted some video they recorded.

Anyway, I never said I don't believe that cheating occurs, and I saw a video at some link a forum member once posted to a site where they advertised all sorts of cheats for sale, so clearly it is a thing, and profitable for the people who are selling cheats.

I just think that some of the observed behaviors that were initially mentioned could perhaps be cases of players using legal builds, gear, and other items-- food and drink buffs, alchemical potions, etc. All you can do is report anything that looks truly suspicious to ZOS, and hopefully ZOS will be able to tell whether it was or was not cheating.

They've been cheating for years. Nothing new and theyll all say you can't do it. That its not possible for some reason or another.

Dont buy it. Wasn't long ago a friend of a friend in my group was "testing out" hacks to increase ress recovery.

Why you need to use cheats in a game that is meant for fun, I'll never understand.

I've also seen players using scripted programs to level up new characters.
I've also seen people teleporting recently but I cant confirm its not due to lag.

I'm no super player, but as a programmer, I can see a hack when it's there. I'm not flawless, but around certain players, there is always a lag and 'one shot' kills. Some of these combos can't be done in the timeframe they are produced, even with lag.
Sudden disappearance, porting and super speed. Unlimited ultimate, resources and health. Some just won't die, no matter what you throw at them. even after you have hunted them and battled them you are never in a 'fight' so you can mount and run after them... These are all signs of cheating.

And if you have nothing to hide, you won't have a problem, if you were wrongly accused of cheating.

In a normal game you’d be right. Unfortunately someone created a thread about abilities that cause health desyncs. Those who’re sane then stopped using them, but a lot of players used it like a tutorial and tried incorporating as much as they could into their builds.

Those one shot mechanics using health desyncs are everywhere now. It’s not so much people are hacking, but exploiting.
