So Using the dragonleap exploit that we all know about by now, Unnamed AD person is able to removed 2 scrolls held by EP from keeps without flagging. Bad enough eh!? But then He/she purposefully drops it outside the keep for an EP toon, (which we know by now is AD main using an EP alt) to pick up and run it safely back to the AD temple, Where the EP player then drops the scroll for AD to pick up again and place!!. I lie not and have the taking of the second scroll recorded after I could not believe my eyes when they took the first one some 20 mins earlier. This prevented EP from having any chance of obtaining the scroll on transit or even knowing the keep was under fire!! I quit that campaign directly. and was really tempted to call a halt to playing right there.

Anyways I realised if they did it for one, they would do it for the other and I recorded the taking of the second scroll using the same method as the first (Using the map screen as engaging would have just been stupid) and I posted my ticket and waited for something (other than the automated crap) like requesting the evidence or something!.. Nothing, not a thing. its been a week and obiously the "noise " is just a whisper about just how bad this is for the game and the reputation of the devs and those in charge.

I dunno, maybe this thread will be deleted within an hour, all hush hush, or maybe ima just deaf, coz ima not hearing the noise, So lemme put it out there to you all, what the heck IS GOING ON!!

ZOS you give away 1 million bucks to some random player, but then gift your player base THIS and call it PvP.

    Wow.. I didn't know people were doing this but then again I'm not much of a PVP player. Gotta hand it to them for thinking of this though. Sounds like a pretty smart way to bypass the system. Not to worry though I'm sure the devs are aware and will do something to fix

    No. They won't. In fact they've said as much -they're loosening campaign change requirements in the near future, so more behaviour like this is to be expected.

    Good thing PvP arenas are coming. Since playing for campaigns is basically a waste of time, people who want to PvP can simply go to smaller-scale maps and don't need to lag out in Cyrodiil.

    Upload the recording on youtube first, and then put the link to it directly into the ticket. That's how i do it.

    And they do look at such evidence - i never advertised the video i posted anywhere but the ticket itself, and it has 13 views.

    My guild has sent in video proof of a guy doing the same thing in childrend. ZOS told us he would be banned. A week later I find him on his EP toon in an EP keep on top of the wall, bipping off about how ZOS spoke to him but didn't do anything blah blah all the while letting AD telestrike up the wall in to our base. Clear as day in my video too.

    The cherry? I posted it here trying to get some sort of punishment done and I'm the one who gets warned and almost banned.

    It's a joke the way things are done at zos.

    Thankfully have attained the maturity levels required not to be enraged by this kind of behaviour. Unfortunately, I'm now stuck in the next phase which is to despair at the pettiness of man in general. It seems I have difficulty reaching the next level, which is to think "ok, this is what people like doing, how can I profit from their pettiness".
    Please stop making requests for game features. ZOS have enough bad ideas as it is!

    Except this is a video game and they are clearly taking advantage of exploits. Your logic fails bud. If this was war like you like to pretend it is and If an aligned EP guy was running his own scroll to an enemy base, I'd kill him. Can't though so it's BS. Wall jumping is supposed to be forbidden yet it happens when no life losers spend their nights trying every inch of the keep wall until they find a soft spot.

    Scroll carriers should be targetable by friendly fire and scrolls shouldn't be able to be picked up from keeps unless it is under attack. Would this solve it? I've personally never really cared about the scrolls, they are kind of pointless.

    Think given the amount of time such things has been around is a good sign ZOS doesn't really care about exploits and such when it comes to pvp

    Disappointed w/ ESO GMs, I love this game and still play PVE. Witnessing some of these exploits & no feedback from /reports. I give up,
    Players will exploit anything, even minor stuff and that don't bug me. But what goes for NORMAL now is a joke.
    This major shame is not on the backs of the players, it's on the back of the programmers.

    I just find it strange even in a few other mmos I play, whenever there are known exploits and things people do they do go around from time to time and handle and look into it, then you see a blanke t msg that such and such has been dealt with that everyone can see, ZOS doesn't even seem to do that...cause it seems like most every sinmgle pvp loophole or exploit is more or less around in some forum from day zerio

    Very true. Traitors cannot get shot in this game.

    But what could happen is Zenimax, acting on behalf of the injured faction and having received clear evidence of the behavior, could condemn the traitor and, oh I don't know, maybe ban them from the game?

    Really, I didn't even think this was supposed to be possible. I have two characters and they cannot be on the same campaign. How do these people have both an AD and an EP character in the same campaign?

    War does not determine who is right - only who is left.

    The heroes during times of war, are nothing but mass murderers during times of peace.

    I've seen this also. I believe it's an AD character, well known, former emp. He gets into the keep when population is low, keep isn't flagged and he takes the scroll and starts running all by his lonesome. We caught him, trounced him and put the scroll back where it was. I don't think that he imagined to get the scroll back to his base all alone, I think he was just showing us that he could. Pretty annoying really.

    The point that the OP is making is ZOS doesn't ban them and this continues to happen in fact I think someone said it was labeled as PvP politics by ZOS or something...

    if they join a group and a group leader ques as a group I think it bypasses this restriction... to make it worse this restriction is planed be lifted completely so this abuse will get worse.

    Simple solution. Make a DC toon specifically for this circumstance so you can assassinate the scroll carrier and run it back to your keep. You can use this "exploit" to fix the problem.

    In my experience with reporting player behavior, I have been told each and every time that Zos will not discuss what action they take, so I believe it is unlikely they would have said they would ban them.

    As for the rest thanks for sharing the info it certainly is something to watch out for and the more videos sent in the better it gives the team more information as to where the weak points are, I have every confidence the Zos team will come up with a new solution.

    Except, being a Double Agent or Spy carries some pretty significant risks in real life. There is no risk in game, and thus no point in doing so other than to inflate your own narcissistic ego or cheat the system as that is the only way you can win. Cheating is cheating, and even if you personally don't classify it as cheating within your own moral and ethical code, then you certainly cannot disagree it is unsportsmanlike and cheap. Such actions ruin the longevity of a game

    ________________

    Most gamers want to play a fair, competitive, and challenging game. ZOS letting this stuff go unpunished, as they do with all exploits, is driving me away from the game. It has literally gotten to the point where all in game achievements are questioned. Did you earn Emporer or simply engage in emporer flipping? Did you earn that necrotic horver pet or did you down scale dungeons to get all your achievements? Did you earn 501 CP or did you bot your XP or exploit something like Camo Hunter (when it was a stacking exploit) to do 1500 5min speed runs of vCoA? Hell, now people are even paying money to have others remote their accounts to beat vMSA.

    PvP exploits are even worse as it more directly effects other players gaming experience. Did you run two mundus stones and a set other than TBS via the exploit? Did you have the benefits of both vamp and WW at the same time? Did you single handedly wipe out an entire zerg by exploiting Camo Hunter or Monster Trap? Etc. All these things result in massive benefits on the battle field.

    ZOS really needs to take a long look at their policies, because as it sits right now, I don't know a single person that believes ZOS gives a (poop) about exploiting or cheating. Everyone believes, unequivocally, there will be zero repercussions for it and therefore the only deterring factor is ones' own moral code. And it is quite unfortunate that most peoples moral compass doesn't quite point north.
