Most of the time you don't even have to hit them at all, you just have to go up to them. Just stand there and let them hit you until you die is the easiest way to get the disease, though you don't have to die. You can check your character screen in between a few hits and once it appears you can allow the next person to have a go.

Problem is, there are other players who will kill them. But you won't change that.

Also, any one who pays REAL MONEY to another gamer is just asking to be scammed, unless they know the person in real life. It is also against the Terms of Service for both buyers and sellers.

But the fact that the consoles have so many players over there requiring PSN money or Paypal transactions is worrying.

Apparently the Gold Sellers have gone from trying to sell matts for gold to then get real money, to actually selling fake bites. LOL.

ZOS definitely has to figure out a way to counter these guys. It's too bad there is no name indicator on the voice chat to indicate player tag of the person who is talking to you. At least if they had that, they could then go in and stealth listen to determine if the player is in fact doing what is reported and when caught by a GM can then be banned.

You people clamoring to pay for bites are doing it to yourselves. It creates a market for scammers to exploit. Instead of waiting to be bitten by a wild spawn, or asking a friend/guildie for a free one, you're all throwing money (real or game) at the screen for it. There is even a large thread right here on the forums with people - myself included - offering free bites. I've never paid or charged for a bite.

The more people continue throwing money out for a simple game mechanic, the more you risk being scammed. The human race is chock-full of greedy people who will take advantage. Don't be mugs.

it was like this when i played on pc i dont think it will change i like it being rare tho

you dont need it to play the game, or to compete against others, it adds only some other ways to play, so who cares about the rarity ? People who never played a MMORPG besides this and want access to all

Based on what I'm seeing, whoever's trying to con you is probably asking for paypal just so they can have you at an increased risk of identity theft.

Don't fall for it.

Scamming people for in game gold should be considered role play in a game where you can already steal and plunder. I will demonstrate my vampires abilities before biting you for 20k.

Very good pricing my guild charges 3x that amount also the scamming goes both ways we have lost one bite this week because we trusted them.

wasnt it that you have to be killed by the infected Mobs?

No you just need to be hit and there is a certain percent of a chance of contracting it every time your struck by the mob, you don't have to die or kill the mobs, just find a nice healer to keep you going till you gain the illness and complete the rest of the steps to become a natural born werewolf, its quite simple if you can avoid the kill groups

But the mobs are pretty tough so methold not for low levels to get infected by

Similar happened after the PC launch. It dies down and all is ok without Zos stepping in.

Best way to get a bite is a free one from a guildie. Out of 6 bites only one was from a player and it was a guild mate.

Granted we also had organized guilds and groups who made sure people where getting infected, had spotters for spawns of the mobs and people standing by telling others how to do it without dying or killing the mob, what is happening here seems to be they don't have a counter force to counter those who are cornering the market Trust me people banding together along with the reports help reduced that fast I didn't have to join a guild to become a werewolf just help out and pitch in like everyone else to stop the scammers and fraud folk

Hopefully there are people like that on console

They don't need a counter force. It was not needed on PC. It dies down, players get bored and start playing the game. It's what happened on the PC server and all was fine.

It will be ok on consoles also, without needing big brother to save you.

Really need both and for this some of the scammers on consoles are people who transfered over so really have done a lot of the game, more hope new content comes out to interest people away from a profitable scam. Though more hope ZOS gets the ban hammer out.

Each week the number of players who have a bite will potentially double, so the problem will sort itself out soon.

Also, what's wrong with a bit of patience? When I decided I wanted one of my toons to be a WW, I just went to The Rift and Bangkorai (my silver zone) every time I was in game and it was night. Ran into a bunch of bloodfiends, got infected with vampirism twice, and after three weeks of looking every other day or so got a WW spawn.

Yes, it took some work, but it was more fun that way.

Nothing needs to be changed. This issue will remedy itself in a few weeks as more and more players become wws/vamps and can offer bites. It was no different on pc at launch. Sooner than you think we'll have free bites available for the masses.
