    If people didn't insist so much on paying for bite, this wouldn't happen. Insist on free bites and this problem goes away.

    Question -

    I'm on console as well, are we "required" to become ww or vamp otherwise we are "gimped" at end game? Why are so many players clamoring to become ww and vamps? I kid you not when I say every other player is a vamp or ww.

    I see soooo many of them in pvp I actually dropped a few points into fighters guild skills for + damage to vamps/ww. I thought this was Elder Scrolls Online not Twilight Scrolls Online?

    I never liked the fact that vampires walk around in the sun in the Elder Scrolls series, it's just bleh.... goes against the lore and horror of vamps bursting into flames in sunlight.

    Also, where are silver swords? I use to keep an enchanted silver sword on me at all times in Skyrim just for vamps/werewolves. I should be dual wielding silver swords in pvp killing hordes of werewolves hahaha

    You're not "required" to become a werewolf or vampire, however going werewolf currently provides a free bonus to stamina regeneration which is useful across the board, so it's worth picking up.

    People like vampires, people like werewolves and the Elder Scrolls series has both. It's no surprise people flock to that sort of thing as in previous games going one or the other provided a great deal of bonuses.

    Read some Elder Scrolls lore regarding vampirism as found here. In essence, different strains cause different reactions to the sun and other elements.

    Currently there are no silver swords found ingame, but who knows, it may become a thing.

    Iam all for free bites, the only reason iam not giving any with my WW right now, its simply because i promissed it to my best friend, so iam just waiting for him to come online, and then ill resume the free bites. I mean, not all people in this are bad, after i cured my self from vampirism, and wanted to get back to WW, i went over to the WW altar hoping for a free bite, and even though i waited quite bit while getting outrageous messages with bite offers, i did eventually ran into a kind soul that bit me free of any charge whatsoever, so i guess there are people openly fighting paid bites. BTW to the guy claiming this spawn camping as RP, where in the world would it make sense for vampire hunters being vampires and killing other vampires to stop the spread of vampirism?! Same story for WW... Jeez.

    BINGO.

    Supply and Demand.

    Refuse to buy and there is nothing to sell.

    Just because you don't like the way something is doesn't necessarily make it wrong...

    There will always be someone who will ultimately buy the bite though, just take a look at the sheer amount of "Want 2 buy bite" threads that pop up all over the forums. So while it's quite simple to tell others they should stop buying the bites, only a minority will listen as the majority are impatient and want the bite ASAP.

    Give it time, the servers will settle and people will realise that vampires are meh.

    On console you dont have all the add-ons to show the dps and stuff so i belive that currently no one knows what will be the end game meta build.

    Not so many as the pc version.

    Lot of threads on this point , use the searc bar i'm still too lazy to link them ;)

    I like the last one... Silver weapons FTW!!!

    So I am going to let you all in on a little known secret... The vampire spawn points where everyone camps for bites (the ones we all looked up on google :P) are not the only ones! There are literally tons of places that the Bloodfiend mobs spawn, you just need to get out there and look. I am not sure this is the same for WW as I was only after a vampire bite for my NB so far,, but I am assuming it would be. I spent 3 nights (because I wasn't 100% sure about the moon phases) looking for bloodfiends and on the last night found a group of 3 standing in the middle of nowhere. Got my bite, died with dignity, and went along my way. Out of curiosity I returned to the location a closer to the end of the night and the 3 mobs were still there. This means that these players who think they are controlling the "bite market" are not nearly as smart as they think they are. Don't play into their hands... Go out and look for more spawns and make these people waste their time. I have friends who have also got their bite outside of the major locations, so I know I am not wrong. Don't give up because some jerks try to make things hard. Go around them and let them wallow in their greed.

    Now all of that being said, in relation to the topic I agree 100% that these people that are killing these mobs just to extort profit from other players are the worst kind of mmorpgers. We are playing a game that pits us against other alliances. The players in the world around us when we are not in Cyrodiil are our allies. I think it is nothing short of ridiculous to go out of the way to disrupt the other players in my own alliance just for some profit. I would much rather see those players get strong and buld good characters so that when I am o the battlefield beside them and we are taking a keep, I can feel some measure of pride in the strength of my alliance and not just in my own character.

    Personally, I would like to see a forum go up and have these people that are doing this screenshotted and posted. At least when I am roaming Cyrodiil looking for fights and I see some lone player getting ganked, I don't have to wonder if jumping in to help them means I am helping someone who only helps themselves or who intentionally detracts from the game experience of others. This might not be the best solution, but I can't help but feel some of these people might be deterred if they were made a target themselves. After all they are targeting other people, and turning their table on them is hardly an unfair solution.I don't condone bullying on any level and I realize there is a risk of such a list being used to harm the experience of these players, but having the names of these people in order to completely avoid interacting with them is something I could get on board with. Many other mmorpgs have suffered similar problems, such as gear ninjas and scammers, and the response from communities is often to make these players publicly known so that the damage they do can be mitigated and truly discouraged. Then again, some players thrive off of notoriety and being disliked so this may provide little solution and only cause more problems. Just an idea anyways.

    They could, or they could simply make it so any generic vampire or werewolf mob has a chance to infect you sort of thing... Ultimately they won't though.

    By the same logic, killing a group of random mobs someone else was targeting would also interfere with their experience. As would snatching a material node they intended to harvest. Or picking a chest they spotted but couldn't get to quickly enough.

    It's a multiplayer game. You'll have other players doing stuff you don't like sometimes. There are easy ways to deal with the vampire/werewolf issues, such as joining guilds and asking there for bites, or checking one of the dozens of discussions that have been created for the purpose of offering/getting bites. The main thing, I'd say, is never buy a bite (remove demand and the supply will wither and die) and pass it along when you get it. Many people who QQ about not getting a bite are the first to start selling them (or scamming others) when they get it.

The players who keep killing the one spawn area are stopping people from getting a chance to get bitten. If the players really want to get bitten, they can check online maps for other spawn places. The pitas can't cover every single one.

    Hopefully players will start to do what the pc players did, and give out free bites.

    I don't understand how people see others selling bites is wrong. If people are going to demand something that is in short supply it will have a cost, once Vamp/Wolf bites become abundant they will be worthless. If you're too cheap and don't want pay the 10-20k for a bite than you have to find an NPC to infect you or wait a month for the bites to be common.
    I do agree that the spawn camping to keep the bites from spreading is ridiculous. The scamming is in all MMOs and anyone that plays an MMO will be scammed at some point it just happens, the best advice is to never trust someone on the internet even in a game.

    Is anyone following someone though? They are puppy guarding the spawn locations and killing the mobs that have no reflection on your progress through the game. Last time I checked you were not forced to become a VAMP or WW in order to beat the main story or complete any of the main quests.

    Also can you specifically post where in the TOS is shows you can not spawn camp any mob or node you want in the game? I don't mean some general area I want the link and the quoted material.

    Calm down man. Kiddies (and oldies) want to play vamps/ww to see how it is. Given a month or so, I'm sure you will see less of them. You're not required to play either nor is anyone required to play like you. Be like Cartman and do what you want.
