You guys havent a clue about the exploit. It wasnt simply putting writs in the bank from other characters and as the exploit is fixed i'll say that people had 1 writ, went to the nodes and deposited the writ in the banker before harvesting....they then harvested, went around the corner, took out the same writ from their banker and went to survey site again.....rinse and repeat. They used the same writ infinite times. The survey writ used to disappear when you started harvesting, now they disappear as soon as you are in the area.
The problem here is the script they used to log this information didn't or couldn't tell the same survey from another that was already in the bag. So players like myself, who get a few doubles a day by doing all 6 writs on all 8 characters, got caught on this, as we were triggering the low parameters they had set for redoing the same writ twice.
And that is wrong and I'd be pissed but im sure it will get sorted asap. Blame the idiots that started exploiting to begin with.

I blaming both. Im really not happy about a 40$ item i bought causing issues to my account cause of negligence on ZoS part. Im going to put the blame on both parties, but only one of those parties can fix whats been wronged.

YES! Please. I'm sick of leaving it to the last minute and spending literally 7 hours doing all my surveys on all 8 characters.
I had to stop doing my writs because this really burnt me out before TG dropped. I still have a bunch of surveys on half my characters because I'm just too lazy to actually do them.
As for this stuff going on with the bans, I'm not sure I understand, I was sure that surveys were bound, I'm sure I tried to deposit my surveys in an attempt to make the process easier by having only one character do all the work, but it wouldn't let me. So confused right now.
On a side note, I'll get back into doing writs again when the craft bags become a thing, but I'm really hoping that ZOS can fix the damn frame stuttering that still happens in the City of Orsinium. I know it doesn't happen to everyone, but this has been a bug for me since it came out, and they've never fixed it. It's seriously bad, and I just don't want to have to do my writs in a place that stutters and freezes up when i'm just trying to walk from point A to point B within the city.
I along with tons of others have been banned on PlayStation 4 for supposedly exploiting with the banker assistant purchased from the crown store. Using the banker assistant to deposit and withdraw surveys, even if picking said surveys up to be used on a crafting character leads to the ban (according to the numerous people I've spoken with). And now, people are getting banned right and left.
ZO$, this is not a good look for you all. Not a good look at all. First $50 USD for the damn thing, and now people are catching bans for using it for what it was meant for? A quality of life item, that makes it so that you don't have to visit a town to deposit or withdraw something... Now something that leads to bans... ZO$ you're getting worse and worse... If this was something you didn't want to transpire, maybe you should've coded it to be bind-on-backpack. Now you have people's accounts that they've spent tons of hours and money on in limbo... Cool.

Really? Did you or did you not exploit this bug? Don't bother telling me because Zenimax can easily track your actions and see you have 50 freakin stacks in your bank you didn't have yesterday.
You exploited a bug that would RUIN the game economy, what the HELL did you think would happen?
Next time something like this happens don't run off to exploit it and don't come QQing to the forums about being treated "unfairly". Lesson learned

excuse me, but did i read somewhere in this thread that there are players blaming ZOS for banning them, because they purchased the banker and started exploiting?
Day 1 of ZO$ Jail... The First Few Hours In...
