    He spent AP to circumvent the rules (one faction per server) so he could cheat to give yellows an advantage. Scroll bonuses. The fact that there is more action or interest is irrelevant to cheating to gain an advantage unless they start rewarding every faction equally no matter if you win or lose.

    the fact is he cheated and deserves a temp ban for doing so. Unles zenimax condone cheating to gain an advantage in AvA. As there is no easily resolvable fix for such occurrences it stands to reason the only recourse is punishment for abuse.

    but thanks for your input and keeping the thread bumped, I'll bump it until I see some recourse or relevant comment by zenimax

    welcome to ESO PvP 2016, cheat2win.

    In every game to win, make sure you have the advantage. Some call it cheating, some call it strategy.

    FYI examples of having an (unfair) advantage:

    - V16 vs. noob
    - 1 vs. x (x>=1)
    - emporer vs regular
    - night cap map (and abusing under population bonus)
    - taking a keep with brute force, outnumbering opponents
    - nightblade cloak skill
    - AND using an 'untouchable' scroll mule to get it back to the place where it belongs (AD territory).

    Wow... I get the impression that this whole game is based on having an 'unfair' advantage. Report it to ZOS dude, they will fix it for sure :smiley:

    There are diffrences in advantage and mechanics abuse.

    All of the points you made until your last one are fine within the spirit of the game as they have counter mechanics or are intended within gameplay.

    Exploiting bugs, using bots/trainers is prohibited and should be (actually is but rarely enforced) a bannable offence.

    Running a scroll with an alt on the other faction is by ZOS statements in the past "against the spirit of the game" and I have had friends receive warnings just for joking about doing it. Actually doing it isn't an intended game mechanic ZOS programmed into the game as there is no counter for your faction bar everyone having alts on the other side and logging in and out all the time.

    Agreed it's not an exploit.

    However ZOS had stated many time (and given people warnings) that you shouldn't be doing this because "it's against the spirit of the game".

    End of the day it's not what they intended when they made the system and they're going to have to find a way to stop it happening as it's getting traction as a tactic to use now. It leaves players frustrated because as I said before the only counter possible to it is to have alts on another faction and relog to them.

    I get frustrated over the server lag, but that doesn't seem to be bothering ZOS. Lesson to learn, don't get frustrated over a video game with some issues. When feeling frustrated? Go pick a direction and see what advantures lay beyond the horizon.

    Though I don't condone what the player in question had done/has been doing, it's not a solitary event.

    I have witnessed many players from both EP and DC doing the same sort of things. I have also witnessed countless EP players logging into AD alts to point out stealthed AD players and do things which provide EP players with an advantage (including exploiting into a keep).

    It is frowned upon by everyone, but it's convenient how when it's happening against EP there are calls for a witch hunt and a ban. What about the EP players who do it to AD?

    Also I'm pretty sure that logging in alts to find players of another faction and pointing them out for your friends, or showing them where they're going all the time is "against the spirit of the game." You don't get Russian spies walking through the middle of London and pointing out to someone "LOOK! HE'S HERE! THIS ONE! OVER HERE GUYS!" do you.

    Pot, kettle, black. Come back when you have earned yourself a sense of equal injustice, and not just when it suits you.

    So many AD trolls. The whole point of home campaign costing 150k AP to change and the game not allowing your cross faction characters to play in the same campaign is to avoid this. It's clearly cheating. Not a tactic.

    @Snape2255 the difference is you can prove this occurred you can't so easily prove someone is intentionally giving away your position to the enemy. The other difference is the effect of scroll bonus is far more prolific.

    but feel free to show me your photos of EP being equally unsportsman like and I'll call for a temporary ban for those players too. here is my proof below

    Makes no sense. 1st of all, the game allows cross faction characters in the same campaign, they TOOK OFF the restriction in the TG DLC/base game patch. It is also not cheating because it doesn't go against the rules, you are not, hacking, modify, alter anything to get ahead of other players. This is something that is allowed in the game clearly.

    Do be fair when @ZOS_BrianWheeler announced the change for unlocking campaigns to all character on your account we said this would happen.

    While I understand the reasoning behind the changes and the change itself wasn't bad it didn't have any design changes in place to stop trolls/cheats/spies or whatever you want to name it.

    We either accept we're going down the route of EVE Online and start playing the metagame or ZOS start thinking of ideas on how to stop character taking scrolls with their alts.

    There is nothing stopping you havong an alt on each faction anymore. This was removed. Clearly seen by all the red player on blue alts yesterday. It happens and it isnt likely to get the player banned

    On the contrary it is quite easy to prove the EP players pointing out stealthed AD players to other EP players, whilst on their alts. It's evident in the fact that they stand next to the AD player and follow them around/use emotes around them the whole time until the EP players come over, find them, kill them but they leave the one revealing their position alone.

    If you would like me to prove this I would have to record pretty much every second of my gameplay as the amount of EP players who run on AD alts to provide EP with an 'unfair advantage' is ridiculous. I could quite easily name many of them, however it is not allowed to "name and shame" on here (as was pointed out to me recently by a mod).

    There have also been EP members aiding others to get into keeps and to capture scrolls for a LONG time now, you seem to have neglected to pay attention to that. Or perhaps you conveniently have not been around? Maybe you're amongst the new wave of players into Scourge who haven't been here long but have jumped on the band wagon. EP have been doing similar tactics for a long, long time. DC Have been too. In fact, last night DC were doing the exact same tactics that the AD #1 spot was doing.

    It's very coincidental that you've only picked up on this now that an AD player has done it, isn't it.

    The difference between you and I, is that on AD we are well aware that EP and DC have unsportsmanlike conduct. In the form of;
    • Alts to capture scrolls and either send them back to their factions OR stick them in the closest keep to their faction (for instance; Alma Ruma into Brindle.)
    • Alts to point out stealthed enemies to their friends (this has been happening for a minimum of 6 months, that I've noticed at least. This has also happened across a number of campaigns, and it is usually EP, but not restricted to them.)
    • Alts created to help glitch friends inside keeps (prime example of this were DC doing it last night, AD a few days ago and EP have also done it numerous time.)
    • Alts to find out where the mass of AD players are heading, and then relaying that information back to their guild.
    • Forming countless alliances between DC/EP simply to push AD back as soon as they get to either Roebeck or Alessia.

    However we don't go around crying about it on the forums because we just get on with it. We've had to deal with it for a LONG time now and we're used to it. We are well aware of the main culprits and we avoid those players at all costs when they are on alts. They're simply not welcome with us.

    It sucks that this sort of thing happens, it really does. I do not condone what AD did at all, and I can say with confidence I had nothing to do with it (although I did laugh when I heard about it). At the time this was happening I was trying to hold back your little horde from once again ruining another day's fun in Scourge.

    It's just rather too convenient how you call for a ban when an AD player does this, and only then. Where have you been for the past 6 months?

    In addition. Please talk to your members about recently doing the EXACT same thing you're calling for a ban on the AD player for. I can't name drop which is a shame, however I'm sure you are well aware of the EP players who have literally just done the same thing.

    Unless you've conveniently missed that one too?

    @Snape2255 pm me who ,I'm curious who is doing it. And will happily report a red as much as a yellow or blue. I don't want a hollow victory or a dishonest loss.

    But I mean I'm not surprised there is retaliation, but Its the first time I've seen this happen. Perhaps did miss this occurring before but I have been in scourge since it was bought back perhaps a bit naive to what was going on.

    If it's allowed then fine if everyone is allowed to do this and this is accepted and the game designers want the espionage betrayals to be allowed then fine. But I wish they would let us know what is and isn't allowed. I still think it's unsportsman like and it should be a ban able offence but I agree there's unlikely now to be a ban if they have taken away cross faction characters in the same campaign and pretty much facilitated this happening. So stupid

    It'll be abused till its out of hand and needs fixing I guess like all exploits in this game.
