If you do a root analysis of the issue you will find where the problem lies. Banning subscribers is not fixing the issue.

The root issue is that there is an exploit that has been known and reported for awhile yet Zenimax has not patched it.

Alliances have adapted to this exploit now there are people guarding the wayshrines and looking for camps in the spawn area.

Which leaves less of that faction attacking or defending keeps. Mission accomplished

I didn't test this "game" to play guard duty by wayshrines.I don't pay monthly so I can play guard duty by wayshrines. Allowing this exploited bug to go for a week and into a new campaign is inexcusable. Calling it a gray area only tells me the Dev team does not fully understand the extent to which this bugged terrain is being exploited.Which is inexcusable as well.

I emailed and asked ZOS if they were punishing folks getting into enemy camps.

Nikola after much roleplay (really it was a wall of text) said: "due to legal reasons" they cannot say.

Noah then advised me that it was "This is to protect their privacy more than to protect ourselves from litigation."

Keep in mind we are not talking about a specific player, the question was, 'was anyone being punished'. I pointed this out again, for the 4th time, and they stopped responding

I think the answer is no, they havent done anything and wont be, so until monday I encourage everyone to abuse the hell out of it.

I don't NEED to do this in order to find unsuspecting players. I can do this in the pvp realm where we are SUPPOSED to be pvpn.

The majority of people doing this die way fast (cause they have no skill).

The old saying "If you cant beat em join em" doesn't fly in this situation.

people who have done this have totally ruined "the spirit of the game".
If ppl did this in football..or basketball..or baseball..do you really think ppl would watch?

"And the quarterback catches the ball..pulls out a gun, shoots the referee and opposing tackle and.....TOUCHDOWN!!"

real easy fix is to make NPCs in starter zones unkillable , hit for godlike damage, make non quest giving NPCS aggro range huge and make it so they leash back to their position quickly once the enemy is dead...so..merc mages X100

Its a bit unrealistic to watch these sploiters hide under NPCs nose.

Those 2 brothers chasing each other around the EP base hit hella hard.

I'm fascinated to see people continuing to defend this indefensible behavior. The mod who called this a "grey area" done effed up. Spawn camping is cheating, plain and simple, and it is not a thing anyone with even the tiniest shred of decency in them would do.

If you do this, you are scum. You don't have the basic emotional development that qualifies you to play games with other people. I don't want to play against you, and I don't want you on my side.

You demean the game. Hell, you demean the species.
