People being banned for no apparent reason

Enemy-of-Coldharbour

Sounds like this is a PVP thing, right?

Idk, I have no way to tell if these guys are innocent or not.

Friend crashed, instant ban for "apparent hacking"

The cause for the ban could be several days or weeks or even months in the past and the bans concurrency with the crash could be coincidence.

Woah ZOS you can’t just sweep this under the carpet but deleting the thread! Seriously we need some sort of word - are we to delete addons or not?

because I don’t want 4 years of progress going down the toilet because of an error that you’re not telling us about!

They probably deemed it a violation because talking about disciplinary action is not allowed.

But if people are getting falsely banned en masse, that’s a serious issue that needs to be addressed, not one to be swept under the rug.

Except we don't know that anyone has been "falsely banned." We don't know that they were, we don't know that they weren't.

Wow, so ZOS' patch cause people to crash in PVP and now because of that the game thinks players are hacking and bans them?

My friend was literally just sitting in her house with me, not pvping or anything.

And this is why @ZOS_GinaBruno , Zos needs to respond to this. Just a simple yes addons are causing an issue or no, ppl are cheating and got caught.

Nothing can be confirmed until zos confirms what has happened.

@Neoealth

From the game. Apparently, first you crash and when you go to log back in youre permabanned. Seen it happen to someone on Stabbity's stream (as Stabitty mentioned here) just a short while ago to someone who is not a cheater and character was doing nothing but sitting in their house when it happened

Hence the word “if.”

I sincerely hope that even if ESO survives this blunder, that they lose significant revenue from it, so they will be motivated not to repeat it in the future.

*** this im not going to log in until this horsesh1t patch is fixed
i'll go play the division 2 until zos pulls their heads outta their *** asses

OtarTheMad

Well, if that is the case I am not going to even play the game. Don't want to get permabanned for nothing.

Is this part of the performance improvement, ban people until there's nobody left?

I have not logged on yet for the same reason. ZOS needs to speak up and address this immediately, the fact they still havent is extremely concerning.

This is almost as bad as blizzards recent mess ups tbh.

MajBludd

I agree, I wont risk logging in to get a perma ban.

GhostWolf_ESO

ZOS is on the same level for bs as blizzard at this point

Same.

@ZOS_GinaBruno can you please confirm this if what they say is true?

Because I quit the game and I am afraid to play at the moment for the fear of being falsely banned. We were going o have Cyrodiil raid tonight.

I was using add ons flagged as safe from ESOUI but I do not feel safe about this.

disable all addons it is what is being flagged

dazee

No thanks, wont play without add ons, ESO's UI is basically 20% of a UI without them.

How do you know this?

Most likely something is triggering the bans and they'll look into it and fix it. People need to stop overreacting like this kind of thing doesn't happen. It happens on games like csgo and with steam as well. Even the biggest rich companies can't prevent an anomaly or human error once in a while.

That is a little extreme. A few players have been banned for reasons that are not clear. More players than that use add-ons.

DUTCH_REAPER

I don’t think ZOS would purposely ban people just to ban. If there is a problem they deal with it. If add ons are the cause though I wish they would say something though bc I don’t want to lose progress since beta. We just need a response I think to calm people.
