"Today, we made our first major strike against those who choose to cheat in ESO, permanently banning thousands. This is only the beginning of our ongoing efforts to keep the game free from botters, speed hackers, and gold spammers. We want to thank everyone who has sent in-game reports about these individuals in ESO—your reports helped us identify many of the accounts we banned today. Please continue to report any botters, gold spammers, and speed hackers you see in-game, and we’ll continue our efforts to keep them out of Tamriel." - Jessica Folsom http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/discussion/74534/taking-action-against-cheaters-in-eso#latest

Hell yes that was fast and from that message I can see the seriousness they take on knocking those bad folks down.

Kudos Kudos and HUNDRED Kudos to you and the team!

    Where else would I post this? There's no sub-forum for General discussion > General discussion. Also it assures "NEW" players that when they see those spammers ESO team is acting. So it's good for new players to be in the know.

    This is really great work, thanks from me also.
    I notice the gathering bots were suspiciously absent from the area where there was so many the other day.
    It was obvious, there were many, and all players around the zone were communicating and reporting.
    Keep the reports coming people, as you can see it is working and they are taking action.
    Top marks!

    This is good news indeed, and answers one question-are they going to do anything about the cheating folks are seeing?

    Answer: Yes.

    But to the topic at hand....great news, and perfectly timed.
    I also agree that there is no discussion thread on announcements so this is as good a place as any to put it.
    Kudos to moderators and developers.

    I am not spending a single penny on the game until changes are made to the game that I want to see.
    1) Remove having to be in a guild to sell items to other players at a kiosk.
    2) Cosmetic modding for armor and clothing.
    3) Difficulty slider.
    4) Fully customizable player housing that isn't tied to anything in the game other than having the correct resources and enough gold to build. Don't tie it to PvP, guild membership, or anything at all. Oh, make it instanced so as not to take up world map space, too. Zeni screwed this one up already.
    Any /one/ of these things implemented would get me spending again, maybe even subbing.

    I think you answered your own question: don't post it. They don't want you posting nonsense or there would be a forum for that.

    I'm not here to police the forums, although I wish someone would delete or move these off-topic posts. As I've mentioned before, I come here to try and help answer questions if I can, but I have to wade through these top-topic posts that don't help anyone and just clutter of the help section.

    Did your GF break up with you? Also to show some essence to your concern. By me posting this it allows other players to address their questions (Reducing spam/other questions they have) about gold spammers and cheaters and believe me I wouldn't repost this if it was announced in the main page vs other forums that a new player may miss. Everyone here is happy to find out and hear about it here because if I didn't post this that concern they had would still be a concern... as others said light'n up. My intentions is to do good and keep all the players informed of the good work the ESO team are doing.

    Instead of posting your negative reaction then, you should just not post anything at all, I mean your comment is only as fitting to the topic as this thread to the forum then.

    But anyway, good to see that ZOS is working hard on many sides of the game! Keep up the good work.

    Nay i say <3<3 <3to the ESO community for taking action against them and submitting reports. Mods and admins have the power but the ESO player base is the eyes and ears of this game.

    Now if we could just take a major crack down on gold spammers. Im still getting a dozen in game mails a day from gold sellers...

    I report them every time but it just keeps coming

    I recommend ignoring and reporting every gold spammer.

    Uhm...I don't really know what a speed hacker is - well, I guess. I just googled it, but I've never heard that term before today.

    Are things like botters and speed hackers problems b/c ESO allows add-ons?

    No Addons just asks for data from server and server responds and what kind of data is limited on what ESO allows. Speed hacks happen with network package spoofing.
