    This all goes back to the beta where ZOS was pressured (by bad press about botting) to do some band aid fixes such as moving some files around (talking about lighting patch here). At the time they needed that quick fix, trouble is that they left it there. They didn't do new fix to remove the band aid one for real one, they left it and till this day they try to fix that crap instead of finding a better solution to fix hacking.

In my opinion, this is the perfect time to execute a heavy penalty on the exploiter while the bug attracted public attention this fast.

    Agreed. If this kind of exploiting was done on other big online games, the penalty would be harsh, most likely a permanent ban.

    This is disgusting. I hope ZOS find a way to prevent them from pooping out ultimates like that.

    @Molag_Crow it is not an exploit, it is a program. Eso does not I repeat does not have anti cheat code...... so programs like this can run rampant.

    So if it wasn't anti-cheat software that borked up PvP back in the day (cerca the lighting patch) then what was it?

    They have moved certain things back client side again which has enabled cheatengine to work again

    This is what worries me the most - if ZoS are tinkering with moving things back client side to improve performance, then that's great. But my concern is that they will see this and undo any changes they're trying - please don't, just have a no nonsense policy and ban any who exploit the improvements you're trying to make. Set a precedent.

    But the performance is still terrible. At one point we had good performance and (probably) cheating. Now we have bad performance and still cheating? Bad deal.

    @Yolokin_Swagonborn

    It's not going to be *Ahem* a silver bullet ;)

    I'd just be happy to hear that ZoS is trying things out - whether they are or not is conjecture based on the recent increase in reported use of 'hacks'.

    If we have the attitude of 'well, the first step you made towards trying to improve performance caused bad things, so remove it' then we'll never get anywhere.

    @Yolokin_Swagonborn this I agree with. We are for sure getting the shafts big time and ZOS isn't even taking us out on a date. They are half ass pulling a bill Cosby on us.....I would of at least liked a drink first -_-

    Ahh so it's the program rather than an in-game exploit, I see.. that's messed up. Definitely worth a permanent ban.

    @ZOS_GinaBruno @Wrobel it looks like these players planned this because they knew you would be AFK. Expect to be flooded with video's, screenshots, and complaints when you return. The last day of the Trueflame campaign, and we were robbed of it.

    Been going on all day, they obviously don't even have forum moderation during the weekend let alone any active GM's to ban these guys. All the Senche' money being well spent it seems.

    These guys cheating have been at it for about 8hrs at this point. So your saying a company that provides a service 24/7 can't even ban 1 guy because of the hour...like I said they obviously spend no money on weekend GM moderation.

    oh yeah? Trueflame pvp just DIED because of this crap, and my 3 day weekend of ESO is compromised because I can't walk 20 feet without being hacked. Plus the other 8 threads on this topic should tell you how severe it actually is. In other words, if I get banned for venting about my ruined night, and everyone else's ruined night (due to zenimax), then I'm done with this game. As are many others.

    This is actually a good thing! While they're away for the weekend the forums are being spammed by exploit threads, like what happened with the survey exploit. Maybe it'll get so widespread ZOS will be forced to fix once and for all.

    Problem is its not an exploit but a 3rd party tool being used to hack the game so I don't expect a quick fix for this.

    Whatever part of the coding is allowing the injection will be moved back server side. The downside is worse performance.

    Yeh lol and you realise the banker writs exploit was reported months before they actually released the Banker assistants and nothing was done till after they went live and people started to point it out in forums. Zos has a terrible track record when it comes to this kind of stuff and I do not expect them to suddenly get good at it.

    There is a huge difference between exploiting and hacking and make no mistake, this is hacking. Software companies rely on their reputation and allowing hackers will damage it beyond repair. I fully expect swift and harsh action.
