Abusing Normal writs daily quests on PC platform with addons/multiaccount became addiction

deleted220614-000183
As we can observe in disscussion about "inflation" topic,
people responsible for the inflation crisis tend to blame everything except their own actions.

Just visit Vivec, where writ boards and the bank are very close to every crafting stations and drop-off points
and observe, what happens there.
Two mixed armies of multiaccount players /multiaccount bots are working together on destroying the gold ingame currency by exploiting:
Automated login / logoff - scripting
Automated moving from writ boards to crafting stations and drop-off point - boting
(miss)using crafting addons such as Dolgubon's Lazy Writ Crafter
Automated Banking - scripting
Automated buying mats right from the guildstores - scripting
etc

The original idea of Normal writs was to give beginers decent amount of golds (215-664 per writ scaling from lvl 6-50 char to be precise) to cover their needs
in the early phases of the game and give them tutorial to the crafting system

It was never mentioned to serve as the biggest (if not the single lol) source of golds in the game
pouring billions of fresh gold into the game on daily basis.

People participating in this schema are adressing
poor droprates, market manipulations, trading system, flipers, ZOS
as the cause of the inflation but forgot to mention their precious Vivec gold currency megafactory.


What really happens in Vivec is that thousands of multiaccounts/chars are permanently parked there, making just daily writs and nothing else and generating billions golds daily
on the industrialized level.

But they are not destroying only game economy, they are creating load on game servers by repeating login/crafting/delivering writs/logoff actions,
they are destroying spirit of the game as they avoid quests and PVE and normal playing in favor of running scripts and cheating.
It became a collective madness and addiction and the consequence is inflation and permanent damage to the game.

Sorry but that's the facts and as gold/crowns ratio was 300:1 one year ago and is 3000:1 now, it will be 30.000:1 next year if collective abusing of writ rewards will not be stopped once forever.

    To be fair, the bot problem here may end up becoming just as bad as the massive bot problem on Team Fortress 2.
    If you see me anywhere. Know that I am sitting back with a bag of popcorn, watching as ESO burns the goodwill of its player base with practices that only disrespects the players time like it did to me and many others...

    If a game does not respect your time, best thing to do is move on from it and find something else.

    I haven't seen a bot on pc-na for a long time. Where are these supposed bots? Are you reporting them? Or is everyone doing writs a "bot"?

    I'm sure people do writs on multiple accounts. It must take hours, I barely have time to do my one account. That's not a bot problem and treating it as such is... Disingenuous.
