The dye for achieving emperor (Ruby Throne Red) is currently available to people that have not become emperor. Please fix this so my elitist self can feel more unique ;)

    Oh, good call. I noticed this last night too.

    I'm wondering if they stuffed up on being emp versus killing emp as I've done the latter before.
    Been here since Feb 2014 - You'd think I'd be half reasonable at this game by now...

    Maybe people on their main have gotten emp. Then you most likely have seen their alts, who don't have emp title, but still are able to use the dye..?

    That's what I have done..

    I do.....

    BUT........

    I don't have the Emperor Slayer, Regicide Red, I think it's called which I should have.....

    In fact going through my achievements was very depressing, so many missing that should be there :(
    When people say to me........

    Hello @Emperor,

    If you have any specific example, could you send bug reports / send us a private message so that we can investigate.

    Note however that as dyes are account-wide. Maybe some of the former emperors are using the dyes on other characters on the same account.

    lol unique?? Have you not opened your eyes and seen the hordes of former emperors out there? I also haven't heard of this either, I have heard of some people missing dyes, etc... but regardless... there is nothing elite about becoming emperor --- unless of course you do it yourself with no help from guilds, squads, etc...(which is not the case for anyone who has been crowned Emperor at any point) this is why they need an Arena, so people can go in and test their worth. :grinning:

    I've got the option of Ruby Throne Red - But have not been Emp

    I've killed an Emp and have the achievement - But I haven't checked to see if I have that color.

    I'm guessing the two have been confused maybe?

    There obviously must be some bugs.
    I think I might need to thoroughly sort through my dyes and see what I should and shouldn't have.

    I can confirm that I have ruby throne red, but none of my chars have been emp.

    I also have regicide red, but I did have that achievement unlocked. So I don't think regicide red and ruby throne red were mixed up by accident.

    I have some pvp dyes available other than emperor. The emperor dye is locked for me (as it should be) but I have two or three others. One I know of is Warlord Red but cannot log in to check which others are unlocked.

    I know it is a mistake and not from another character since I have never even been in the pvp area yet on any character I made.

    The Julianos white (archives completion) and daedric red (general executioner) are also avaible for me even though they shouldn't be. At the same time there are dyes which I should have but I don't. I guess I'll have to report them specifically when I have time later today.

    It's not only the emperor dye. I have multiple dyes available without the corresponding achievement, including julianos white (gives a great storm trooper look to breton heavy by the way) Made a ticket about it yesterday.

    Nope, I got both achievements for killing and Emperor and I don't have the dye, I think we should all have it since people who ain't emperors have it 8)

    That would be a good solution @ZOS_RobinsonE‌

    If you look on the forums, all of the threads complaining about how masses of people boosted to get Emperor, now have access to dyes not earned as intended. One person makes a thread about Dyes and gets a ZOS response, tons of people make threads about the Cyrodiil cheating/boosting to pass around Emperor like it's growing on trees. Many called for the skill line removal, etc.. others called for resets. Give everyone who participated in PVP at least a certain rank and above, the same benefits all of those boosters get.

    Some friends and I did it the good ol' fashioned way. Then I have other friends whom with their Emperor boosting guilds, handed it out to so many members in coordination with people in the other alliances, it's ridiculous but not a single word from ZOS. If you could please look into this, it would be great. Giving to all or giving to none, because boosters/cheaters shouldn't be rewarded all you are going to do is anger people further --- then it's a win for all.

    The only benefit of anything Emperor should be that others don't have are those that are CURRENT Emperors --- which is only a timed exclusive. If you need very very specific details on all of this, please feel free to drop me a PM with what that would be. Thanks!

    I have it and have never been an emperor on any of my characters so it is a bug.

    I suppose they will remove the ill-gotten rare colours from items where it was applied. Because the items are bound, it seems like a reasonably straightforward database operation. (No need to look for item history, as you cannot dye stuff for others.)
    Then the question arises: What will the replacement colour be? Garish pink? :)

    A simple reset isn't really possible. It is not fair for people who got it genuinely (me)

    If you're wanting a reset so you can have a shot, there is nothing stopping you from going for it now.
    The only real barrier preventing you would be organised guilds. And a simple reset will have no effect on them. They will simply come up with something else.
    I should not be punished because of the idiots that farmed emp.

    ZOS hasn't really replied because it's mostly filthy casuals who are complaining, without any respect or consideration of other players.

    Im ok with the skill line removal, the benefits are only 1%, they also require valuable skill points. They're not just given.

    But a reset would be unfair, and really isn't beneficial to anyone.
    Sure you may think it's justice served to the farmers. But they won't really suffer anything. Someone who worked for their title will have their achievements scrapped because of some sooks.

    (As you can tell, I feel strongly about this)

    For starters: I would be affected by the reset as well. The sheer amount of emperors that popped up was ridiculous and I've been all for it ever since. I mean, I never liked the "Former Emperor" title anyway, it's almost as bad as getting "Explorer" for completing all delves in the game LOL. The skill line is okay, but still an advantage to a small extent. However there are MANY more who exploited it than those who didn't. I know that if I want it, I can keep playing and get it again. However a reset is necessary or at least then granting it to everyone who participates in PVP. Most of the people who have made it to Emperor at one point or another, DID NOT do it fairly and boosted their way through. I remember when it was rare to spot someone in the Emperor costume, now it's more common than people selling rare motifs in zone chats and traits in Zone chat.

    You call the majority of people filthy casuals? Casuals, BOOST. Casuals need to rely on others, on cheats, etc.. in order to get anywhere. I'm a hardcore gamer, and I am completely against anything even remotely cheating. ZOS hasn't replied, but they should. They reply over coloring armors, and dying your shield, but not over something much more deep rooted.

    Funcom, another MMO company, has very successfully made amends on certain things and overall the reception was well received, minus a few who hated seeing more and more people have something they want. They did a reset when they released the Augmentations because people boosted their way. They also were handing out a very exclusive pet prize to the top 1,000 people in a content, of which was exploited and instead of taking it away from everyone, they gave it to all who participated. Some complained, but a very very very small amount in comparison to those that were happy. ZOS needs to make a decision about how they want to handle it, ignoring it only means that in the future, it's okay to have such behaviors. Why not invite all the gold spammers back while we're at it? SMH

    Slaughter fish PINK - and I have it unlocked and hate fishing in MMO (vivid fisherman IRL though) and is the SOLE reason i can find a little comfort in the otherwise meanless dyesystem, I can be pink - ZOS pls dont fix this!

    Speaking as a "filthy casual", I think the emperor farming crowd is a sad bunch of cheaters, but I really don't care all that much. I will never become Emperor, and I don't feel the least bit bad about that. Honestly, the exact color of my armor is one of the least important things in the game for me. There are plenty of things for me to do in the game besides "winning" and boasting about my achievements, and my real life makes it both undesirable and impossible for me to take a computer game seriously and be a "hardcore gamer". I just want some spare time fun which I can do at my own leisure.

    TL;DR: Meh.
