Look at those 'sploiters go.

A tale of Bleakers. But it happens in strange and obscure places, too.

Fights all over the board, but nothing near Bleakers. So why the stray camp there for no reason?

'sploiters.

They are there exploiting the game mechanics to gain HUGE amounts of pvp points.

Just go to a strange out of place forward camp, usually Bleakers. Look around. Open the leader boards. Compare names. Yup, all the up and coming emperors are playing a game called 'sploit the castle defence bonus tick.

Been happening forever.

This is just an informative post to let you know where to get your 500k a day pvp points.

Zos doesn't care. They won't ban anyone for anything because they cannot afford to lose even 1 sub.

'sploit away.

Its one (of many) strategies to do PvP - and if I am not utterly wrong the aim of PvP is 1. gain control of the map and 2. Prevent other alliances to do 1. .

So i don't really see your problem there. I wish more ppl would come up with creative ideas for cyrodiil - just try to take all resources f.eg it may not give your alliance an advantage but it disables wayshrine-travel for all other alliances for a short time at least. Or camp bridges and gates - again no advantage for your alliance but a big fat obstacle in the way of other alliances.
Personally i enjoy the way "use of territory" is part of PvP-strategy, sorry to hear you don't.

Creative ideas = exploiting game mechanics to gain enormous amounts of pvp points.

You sir are an exploiter. Gratz.

Ok, slow on that one ... don't want to step on someones toes do we?

I don#t get the "exploiting" part of the OPs threat. Defending a structure (eg bleakers) in order to prevent other alliances getting a bonus is clearly NOT an exploit. So what is the deal here?

Thread # 218,231 of somebody not knowing what an exploit is.

Bleakers is a waste of time nowadays. Most people are wise to that tactic, so the only people that do come are silly pugs who wiped so much they eventually become worthless in AP terms. That, or the zerg comes and then it's a no hope anyway.

I've made very little AP at Bleakers recently, there are better places / situations :}

Having your friends run up and die over and over, then trading spots and then you die over and over for the keep defense tick is an exploit.

They are not playing the game. They are playing an exploit.

But keep trying to say its cool. Just shows who is using it and who isn't.

I suggest you update your original post with this, as right now, it seems like you are complaining about people defending Bleakers against a small attack when there are bigger, more important fights to be had elsewhere.

I have also seen this. But more common seems to be a small group of people hiding by resources taken by us in deep enemy territory. They are there, knowing full well that enemies will use this spot as a suicide point to get to big battles faster. Just tag suicider before he dies and boom. Free AP. Don't think it's an exploit, but it is definitely taking advantage of unintended game mechanics.

The people that run to Bleakers / whatever spot has been taken over and over and die are not friends of those defending. They are nubs who have delusions of heroics and think they will take the outpost from a group who have organised with the specific intention of killing them over and over.

The assumption that these people are cheating or exploiting is entirely incorrect. If you find yourself seeing this happen, there are a few things you can do.

1. Organise a raid and try take back the outpost.
2. Yell to the nubs running in again and again to stop and move on.
3. Do nothing.

No need to come here and QQ.
