CP FARMING EXPLOIT!

TequilaFire · August 2015

A very inefficient way to farm xp , much better to gather a group of npcs and use AoE. lmao
Onward with the crusade!

Yep, pretty much. Also, it would have the added benefit of no one really getting that huge of an advantage from it, since so many people are trying to do it at once that you'd be lucky to get 1-2 kills a minute.

Since I'm here, can someone explain a couple things to me since none of my toons are murderers?

What is the point of having a huge bounty in the millions?
Also, I did not know killing NPC's generated XP or CP.

Tolmos · August 2015

I wish they would fix it by

A ) Make bounties pull money from across the whole account when caught

B ) just randomly spawning a guard in the room. Not have it there all the time, so folks aren't expecting it. Just suddenly *POOF* there's a guard and he clubs everyone in the room to death, and all their money across their whole account poofs out of existence when they get caught.

Suddenly, having a bounty gets a LOT scarier =D

its not much xp, only 150 as ep and 300 as ad

Posts like this do more harm to the community than good in my opinion.

What will essentially happen now is people that didn't know about this bug are now going to exploit it.

It is better to report in-game.

Absolutly dissagree. For Z. to take action this must me a wide spreaded thing. Not that i condone spreading the information about exploits but it seems the most certain way (and even that often dont work)

I can respect your point of view / opinion, however I must point out that you are basically condoning what you said you are NOT condoning.

Unless I misunderstood your post, you are basically saying it's better that people post exploits here so we all know them and use them so that ZOS can fix them faster. That seems like an endorsement to spread info about exploits to me.

Ok, wait. Farming a mob - any mob - in a v10 zone gives me 900+xp, or whatever it is. I can pull a BUNCH of them together, and aoe them for lots of exp. And someone's worried about someone insta-farming a mob that gives 150-300 xp?

You do realize that more or less playing with yourself in a v10 zone gives way more xp than this ever could, right?

Unfortunately this wasn't the case with the coldfire trebuches. Still broken and still being abused.

I can imagine that constantly respawning mob would be easy to.. ehem auto farm, no?

That's EXACTLY core of this problem. 100% bot material

Hi all!

This will be hard to type in without foul language ...but I'll try my best.
So, guy on screenshots below is farming/boting CP in Halin's Stand [Bangkorai] Mages Guild room upstairs.
He's phased in town on questing stage, so players that finished quests there can't see him.
He just kills over and over same npc that's instantly respawning.
That's giving bounty for sure, but since CP works for whole account you can always stop playing one character right?

Instant respawns on ANYTHING should be fixed asap to prevent stuff like this from happening.
I just hope ZOS will ban him

Do the busybodies who post these threads actually play the game, or are they too busy snooping on other players?

^^^ That ...

Tape down the attack button and go to work/school and you'll be swimming in CP when you get home.

Azurulia · August 2015

I will admit I am guilty of "farming" a few places with instant justice respawn NPC's while leveling my serial killer character; that I just happened to stumble upon while questing. However I won't begin to mention them due to reasons the OP mentions in regards to CP farming. Levels is one thing, but endless CP farming is a whole nother beast.

Because if you think farming 1 instant respawn is bad, imagine what clusters of 5 8 and 11 together would be like if you don't give a crap about the bounty.

When it's an exploit/botting, 'snooping' is good. Or are you afraid you're going to get caught?

Now consider setting your aoe on auto and letting your toon kill that instantly spawning mob 24/7 none stop(other than server resets) for a month straight.

Dekkameron · August 2015

If they kill one every 2 seconds then i calculate that it takes about 45 mins to get a champion point.

That's not terrible if you afk it

DISCLAIMER: I do not advocate or endorse this practice and any comments made are purely of a scientific interest..

Alcast · August 2015

GO to work while my char is killing mobs? Sounds legit and good exp too

Caught doing what? I'm no cheater. I would be pretty annoyed, however, if I got reported for being a "bot" just because I was doing the same thing over and over... which is the ESSENCE of grinding.

Exploit
noun
ˈekˌsploit/ a software tool designed to take advantage of a flaw in a computer system, typically for malicious purposes such as installing malware.

How is this an exploit? Just because he didnt finish a quest so he could kill them? Farming, yes. I grind mobs in the rift that have a super fast spawn rate for CP.
