Pretty obvious the latest hacking is running out of control - so what would you like to see?
Bear in mind that history shows you are unlikely to grab all the hackers in an investigation.

The problem is that people are just being blatant right now in order to bring attention to themselves. Once permabans go out people will just stop being as blatant. For example, if someone increases all of their stats by 20% it would be hard to identify them as a hacker. They need to come up with some kind of programmatic way to identify people using this.V16 Uriel Stormblessed EP Magicka Templar(main)

✭✭✭✭✭Perma-Ban for everyone found to be using the Ult HackThis one is pretty simple in my mind. You need a third party program for it to work. There is no accident here. If they can be caught using that program (not sure if ZoS has the means to do so anyway) then it should be perma ban with all their leaderboard scores stripped and unfortunately the scores of any group they were a part of.7 -

"I still do not understand why I followed the advice of Captain Rana to bring the villagers of Bleakrock into safety. We should have fought for our village and not have backed down, with our tail between our legs. Now my home village is in shambles, the houses burning, the invaders feasting.I swear every day to Shor that after Molag Bal has been defeated, I will hunt down the invaders and restore peace in Bleakrock and drink my mead with my friends at the market place".PC-EU2 -

✭Perma-Ban for everyone found to be using the Ult HackIf this were a different game I would be on the other side of this, but my opinion would not change. When hacking in any game you have to understand that there are risks and a very good chance of being permanently banned from the game.2 -

Lenikus✭✭✭✭✭Temp-Ban 1 monthMore than once i heard (and seen) people log in (steal) other people's accounts and using all sorts of cheats / hacks / exploits, and the person was perma-banned with no possibility of getting his account back.
Permanent punishments are a tool for grief.
1 month is more than enoguh to force a 'cheater' to find another game and never come back, and not so much for someone who happened to either trust wrong people or be unlucky enough.... Mai cave. >:32 -

✭✭✭✭✭Temp-Ban - 7 daysThey'll just try to come back anyway if their accounts are permanently destroyed. They'll blame ZOS for it, not themselves.
A short ban, followed by a permanent "Cheater" title on all their characters. Then it's not that they can't play at all. They just have to be publicly reminded of their shame for the rest of their visits to Tamriel.
Basically the asterisk for a different kind of sport.signing off18 -

So you think a company that doesn't even let people hint at the fact someone might be cheating, is suddenly going to tag cheaters per Permenantly?1 -
C0wrex✭✭✭✭Perma-Ban for everyone found to be using the Ult HackPerma ban the cheaters as it is already a huge problem in the game - being a detriment to the enjoyment of others.
While I understand giving people second chances in most cases, I truly believe that this just isn't the time for it because of the severity of the situation. That being said, there are times I believe that mercy and forgiveness is one thing but if people start to get used to it, they'll just continue exploting it.
In other words, tough love and discipline

Perma-Ban for everyone found to be using the Ult HackThey know the rules and if they break them, they should definitely be perma-banned.
It's not fair on legitimate players

They don't want a lot of unsupported accusations on their forum. If players make observations and then make inferences that may not be correct, there's a lot of liability there.
But if they have substantial evidence on their end, they can absolutely do it - and should.signing off0 -

I'd much rather have a few people that have 20% higher stats than groups full of obvious hackers.

(edit: dammit, the title changed. It had "you can't catch them all" before, hence the reference ~.~)Edited by Abeille on May 30, 2016 12:11AMJust so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.
Meet my characters:Command: Do the thing.
Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.0 -

✭✭Temp-Ban 1 monthI don't want to have players perma banned after experiencing that there were no consquences to that when others did. There have to be some consequences right away if something is going to change about that, and in the future ZOS might judge based on case. In a case like this, they could announce this exploit is an offense and action will be taken against it in the future - if then anyone continues and ZOS finds out, it's a permaban.
But who am I kidding, won't happen anyway.DAGON - ALTADOON - CHIM - GHARTOK

✭✭✭✭✭Perma-Ban for everyone found to be using the Ult HackEnough of this crap, seriously. By giving those 3 day bans ZOS basically said that everything is allowed... People know that nothing will happen to their accounts if they're cheating, and even more so - they're in a disadvantage if they're not cheating (100% armor penetration with certain set and survey bugs come to mind).
So in my opinion, anyone who used that cheating program, deserves a permaban. After all, unlike exploits, its not something that can be reproduced by accident.Edited by LadyNalcarya on May 29, 2016 8:03PMDro-m'Athra Destroyer | Divayth Fyr's Coadjutor | Voice of Reason

✭✭✭✭✭Most companies don't generally ban players on an individual basis, that's impractical and time consuming. Rather they tally up the playerbase and do a mass ban in one go, it's easier to do it this way. You think they're not doing anything about as you see the same obvious hackers and cheaters still hanging around, it also gives the cheaters that false sense of security that they aren't going to be punished for their actions.2
