Hello TESO Team,
I writing in regards to the huge issue's that I have been having with the game from the first day of early access. I've spent countless hours trying to finish quests that were completely broken, stuck in loading screens before having to Alt+F4 and simply sat waiting during prime time hours for 'scheduled maintenance' to end.
I'm not unreasonable and some of these things I expect from a new launch but over the Easter weekend I learned that the guild bank dupe bug that a whole bunch of us reported in beta was not fixed and has been used by exploiters since launch!
This completely unacceptable, and unfortunately I can not see anyway for you to undo the damage without a full server wipe (which I wouldn't be very happy with myself). Banning the exploiters wont fix things as there are thousands of players who traded gold for legendary crafting materials which they then used to make top level gear with. You would need to go and case by case remove any crafted materials that had been broken down or made into other items for the game to to balanced again.
You then need to go and reimburse the gold payed by players who bought these duped items and reset their crafting skills to an appropriate level. I find it highly unlikely that as complex as your logging systems may be that it would be practical to do any of these things.
So what I'd like to know is based on what has happened what are you going to do to not only compensate me for time and confidence I've lost in the game but what will you be doing to make the game balanced now that a lot of innocent players have things they shouldn't have due to the duping.

felixgamingx1✭✭✭✭It's a little fast to reach lvl cap and if you plan in only having one char/story line depending how much content is released for after game It would prob last about 5 months to me0 -

Dude....I survive on survivors benefits...for over 15 years now and I do nothing but play computer games..I play 14 hours a DAY, since release and i managed to only get to VR1... They exploited to get to 50 less than a day or two..Granted that Grinding in certain places may level you Faster than doing a chain of quests but to get to that "Good spot" You have to do quests first to get there, and there is absolutely no way they skipped quests and grinded because no matter how hard or how many mobs or how fast they respawn, doesn't matter, it reallly depends on the location while it would seem whatever is higher level, harder, more to kill and faster to kill would make sense but that isn't the case either.. They exploited their way to 50...leveling in this game is not FAST as people say and think.. Sure you could build a complete AOE Build in order to do so, but that still won't get you the levels people think is insane..I leveled my sorc up to VR1 in a week and let me remind you i played 14 hours EVERYDAY and still took a week.... Exploited is what they did...nuff said.2 -
Aci✭✭✭Well, if it would help in this case or not, a full server wipe wont happen. Simply because the damage of a full server wipe > not to wipe.3 -
Gruffysb16_ESO✭✭✭Yeah I would prefer if they didn't do a server wipe but I really cant see how they would 100% fix things. There are literally hundreds of legit players in who bought duped crafting mats and are now running about pwning people in legendary gear.
Other than a full server wipe how are ZOS going to combat that sort of issue? Even if their logging is great they need to follow a trail of breadcrumbs for each individual player find out what they made with what mats they payed in gold for find out if they deconstructed any items made with the dupe exploit remove all those items and reimburse them.
Its either that or ZOS will just let all those players go and not do anything

Anoteros✭✭✭✭abandon ship!
Broken game is broken.
I guess fixing the quests that have been broken 3 weeks after launch was top priority though...1
