[Panacea of Speed] Crash Bait

Hi all,
I wanted to share something I have come across recently in zone chat of PVP. I have experienced this on Chillrend NA but I'm sure it happens in other servers. I am sure some of you have run into this as well.
I have witness players in my faction linking an "item" to zone chat called [Panacea of Speed] the link of which is tinted an orange/yellow colour. If you click on this link the game client will instantly crash and freeze. The client then needs to be forcibly closed via the Task Manager.
I have made it my duty to report any and all players I see doing this because it is a disruption to the server and either an exploit or a hack of some kind, thereby against any terms of service. I received a reply back from ZOS which did not say any action was being taken and that they are closing my ticket and I can only hope they are issuing bans to the little sh!ts who think it's hilarious to do this.
I'm curious to see how many others here have seen this occur. I play in EP and I am also curious if this has spread to the other alliances too?
Just to be clear this is what you are looking for:
1) The linked item is called [Panacea of Speed]
2) The link is tinted a dull orange/tellow colour
3) Clicking on the link to bring up the info/stats will instantly freeze your game client.
I ask that we all immediately report this behaviour as this kind of garbage requires immediate bans.
This has been a public service announcement.
Cheers!

✭✭Its a modified itemlink that's broken. I stumbled across that when I was messing with itemlinks too. Best to report these players using it.0 -

✭✭I have heard too that out would make you crash. However for me the item showed up correctly when I clicked it in order to test it.- EU - Raid Leader of Banana Zerg Squad

MormondPayne_EP✭✭✭✭I testing it numerous times whenever I saw the item linked and I crashed every time. I can't believe it causes the whole client to crash... I refrain from saying anything derogatory about ZOS else I get warned again.0

✭Bugs happen.. fact that people are/were abusing this knowledge to cause deliberate issues for other players is more disturbing imho and I hope they get a temp ban for it.

tengri✭✭✭✭✭Indeed... abuse of this started to appear more frequently and more publicly last week. And of course was reported to Z.
But no worries, they are very quick with hot-fixing important stuff. Like that mudcrap XP exploit recently.
Hm, wait a second... this week we dont even have any maintenance/patch at all.

✭I do not appreciate the tendency of this game to hard crash on user data. It's the worst kind of bug both in terms of annoyance and exploitability.1 -

✭This happened to me too. I instantly crashed when I clicked on the link.It's wonderful for speeding up the queue for Cyrodiil though!
don't know if trolling or serious :P
No, it won't speed Cyrodiil queue because when you crash you still reappear in Cyrodiil so...Edited by Sotha_Sil on May 4, 2015 1:43PMRestoration is a perfectly valid school of magic, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise! - Spells and incantations for those with the talent to cast them!0 -
