How do web sites get the endless supply of ESO crafting materials that they then in turn sell?

Even with the "Harvest Map" addon, it takes me hours of farming to find the high quality items, and not even close to the quantities that these web sites have for sale.

So how are they doing this, and is it even legal because anyone with enough money can now buy the best of everything, including gold, from their web site?

    Maybe using their name was a bad call on my part, sorry. I was just using their name as an example. I changed the topic per everyone's request.

    I'm asking a legit question; It doesn't seem fair, at least to me, that anyone with enough money can buy their way to the top of the leader board because of web sites doing this. I know skills and guilds play a big part of this, but having the having the best equipment does too.

    I would also like to know how they do what they do? Do they use bots,or have hundreds of accounts with their employees just farming all day; like an eight hour job of something?

    BTW those who like to use the easy button, most likely already know about these web sites.

    It is actually against the TOS to use their site and if you get caught and provided your account does not get hacked, you can be banned.

    Buying materials, gold, etc. with "real" currency (Euros, USD, Zloty, doesn't matter) is a bannable offense.

    They most likely use bots and take advantage of exploits. Underground clipping bots... teleporting bots...

    What does TOS mean? I'm not smart when it comes to acronyms.

    Yea, after watching the video, I remember seeing a lot of clones running around harvesting nodes before I could get to them and then disappear. I really don't see as much as this anymore.

    I been reporting every spam email that these web sites have been putting out, but lately these are becoming scarce as well.

    You would think that with the current advancements in program security that these exploits would be a thing of the pass.
