I'm going to start with the fact that, even as much as I love the combat in this game, I'm taking a much needed break from Cyrodiil. The PvP is officially a wasteland in desperate need of ZOS' attention.This isn't me quitting the game, just addressing issues that ZOS need to fix asap or the decent players in the PvP community are all going to end up becoming fed up just like me.
The straw that broke the camel's back was when I was killed multiple times in the safety of an unsieged outpost my alliance owned. Several players were zapping through the tiny crack in the door that Zenimax will apparently never fix, and dumping oil on our transitus shrine. It's one thing to exploit and get inside of keeps, because why not cheat if there are obviously no consequences? But when you insist on greifing within our own keep, that's where I draw the line. I was absolutely livid when this happened. And one of the players was one I once respected as a very good player and also well-known here on the forums. I've said it once, and I'm going to say it again.
The PvP community is going to be reduced to 13 year old children whose parent's bought them this game because they played skyrim at a friend's house once, if cheaters, exploiters, and harassers aren't taken care of. I have
NEVER played a game where so much harassment by players and flat out cheating has been allowed for so long. I understand there may be grey areas, such as dragon leap, or why not bolt inside a keep if you can. But when a door is obviously supposed to be sealed, and players are deliberately glitching their way inside, that is flat out exploiting/cheating. There is no grey area there. And on top of that harassing players who are expecting to safely port in especially if the outpost is unflagged or not under siege is just plain scummy.
What is the point of defending an outpost anybody can glitch their way into. There isn't one.
Of course this isn't the first case I've seen this happen, and at this rate, it definitely won't be the last. I'm sure once this door issue is fixed, all of the players who have most likely been reported for taking part, will still be running around finding ways to infect Cyrodiil. I'm tired of the lack of effort, and I could care less about "waiting until after the console release has settled down." I have an internal list of just about everyone who deserves
at least a warning, or who would have received one in any other MMO by now, in my head. Some of them are even friends. Not that I would want them banned, that's not it by any means. I just know that what a lot of people are allowed to get away with in this game is crazy and I'm flabbergasted that the only people to ever receive a slap on the wrist are the people who ported to enemy gate wayshrines. Which who even cares about that, those players were destroyed within seconds by everyone at the gate every time they ported to it.
