Hey I was just wondering if you were punishing people taking advantage of the exploiters (buying mass amounts of cheap mats from them) or leveling off the bots (healing them for xp off their kills) or if everyone should start doing this to even out the playing field?

Kind of getting ridiculous how many real people I'm reporting today for selling literally thousands of valuable mats they bough from botters.

    And you know they bought them from botters how exactly ? Seriously... how ?
    The statement "if you put enough monkeys behind enough typewriters... sooner or later one will produce the works of Shakespeare" has sadly been proven utterly wrong by the internet...

    Don't need to "know" to report, only need to suspect. Although most openly admit buying massive numbers of stacks from one person while complaining they are only able to farm 1/100th that in a day.

    I like to screen shot those remarks in the reports :)

    Locks keep honest people honest. If people are bent on being dishonest then they will find a way. Getting rid of the bots is a given. What we don't need are self proclaimed hall monitors that have a thrill from reporting other players. Your energy and time would be better spent finding and reporting the bots or locating where the scripts and addons they use are coming from.

    Or better still... your energy and time would be much better spent actualy playing the game instead of going out of your way to find bots....

    I'm 26% short of VR5 and I have still to see my first bot... this might ofcourse be because I kill every dungeon boss once and I'm don't stick around to actively farming it for drops... but then I "do" prefer playing the game instead of "Spot the Bot"

    If people want to buy loads of stuff from someone that might or might not have gotten it by exploiting really doesn't concern me... what does concern me is having fun in the game. Not play the kid in school that always went : "Sir... Sir... they're doing it again, Sir..."

    I don't think there is anything wrong with buying things for cheap - no matter who its from. Its smart business, if i see a stack of pitch for 2k, that i know i can sell for 6k+ damn straight i'm gonna buy it. The "i'm not gonna touch it cos it's wrong" approach is the same as going vegan - it doesn't really save any animals because everybody else is still eating meat.

    To be honest I don't really get the whole "I wanna be rich in a game" thing... sure it's fun, but I'm not running out of money... my stash of gold is actualy gradualy growning... Not Billy Gates-style, but it's growing... despite all the repairs...

    I really don't care if others have 100's of 1000's of gold in a game... The day I can butter my toast or pay my rent with virtual gold from killing monsters, I might actualy start to care. :)

    just use google - easy to find the stuff
    I won't justify puttin the links here for fear they get used by players and make the problem worse

    I can't see why ZOS does not sue these sites for tampering/hacking their software
