Suggestion for a patch day protest.

Altaire · May 2016

Everyone ask ESO the same question in individual new posts. Ask "ESO, Will you crack down or back down?"
And ask for a response from management.
Flood the forum with the same question. just leave enough room for Natch Poots

Everyone should keep their launchers closed all of off Tuesday in protest as well.

Sadly it won't happen. A larger part of the casual gaming community are not aware of the problems nor would you find everyone listen.

If you're a subscriber then close your subs and give a reason as for exploiting, I am sure whoever is up the top will notice that.

For the most part I think ZOS realised how screwed they are this time and I hope this will finally be the catalyst for some actual change in how they handle game security and enforcement. You know actually set something up at the office with the company hiring senior GM's working there rather than this outsourcing it seems like they do.

You do that, I'll enjoy testing out new builds and such.

Well we'll sit back and watch you get meteor-showered in PVP, while your scores in the leaderboards reach the bottom of the pile.

Enjoy your Caldwell gold, mate.

Protesting over a video game. That's a Lol right there.

I got exactly what I expected out of a $60 game purchase and the minor problems I occasionally face while playing are too few and far between, (in my own experience), to warrant displeasure on that kind of scale, especially when there's no monthly fee to play.

Look I know. I get you. You want to see something get done, and you think trying to spark something widespread like an organized massive complaint or "protest" will help spur something into action. But this ain't the 99% in the streets of New York. This ain't the Gay Rights movement on the steps of Capitol Hill. It's a video game. You chose to buy it, you weren't forced. Now you must either deal with what's given and make the most of it, or choose to give it up.

This was a game protest.

Why protest?? New patch Seems fun

Will be enjoying new builds

Unfortunately the community is its own worst enemy, the majority will continue to buy broken and badly design dlc, put up with ridiculous prices on CS items, pay their monthly sub in support of this broken mess etc etc and continue to slap zos on the back and say "awesome job guys", nothing is ever going to change with how zos behave because people seem to be ok with being treat like fools.

You'd do better trying to get it into real (i.e. non-gaming) media outlets as the players of ME3 managed ideally with the names of some of the prominent ZOS owners/backers in the story - nothing like major negative publicity to wake up the people who hold the purse strings from their miserly apathy.

Shouting on the forums while necessary is only putting pressure on those who don't control the finances - I'd be very surprised if the mods and devs wouldn't love to have the resources to properly police and fix the game.

@Lord_Dexter I guess it's not about the patch itself. It's about the fact that people found a way to hack the game and gain big advantages over people who play fair.

PS4 is not affected..

There are only two types of protest that works:

Those made with the sword and those made with the purse.

In this case, use the purse and unsub.

If protests outside those cases worked, there would have no wars and the idiots holding flags and yelling gibberish would always get their way.

While I am against it it won't help punishing ZENIMAX for something PLAYERS are doing guys...

Same with when the game launched... there were tons of BOTS and cheaters yeah, but did ZENIMAX do it? No PLAYERS ( especially gold sellers from CHINA did it ... )

Boycotting the game will only hurt it in the future. I for one am NOT going to protest against ZoS that way, while I am frustrated at this and p!$$#* off like everyone else, trust me I think ZoS guys are just as P!$$#* off I mean they were preparing for the BIGGEST DLC launch since the game released and now this happened? I wouldn't be surprised if it was started by WoW fanboys or something in an attempt to seriously hurt the game so they go play Legion or some nonsense...

It's definitely players who don't care about their accounts that's for sure I truly hope the perma ban hammer and IP ban hammer gets unleashed... Block those emails as well from future Bethesda games not just Zenimax games, oh I am sorry you wanna buy TES VI ? You can't you cheater it's time hacking in games also becomes criminal, all forms of hacking should be frowned upon and Youtube shouldn't allow hackers to post videos of themselves hacking in games.

Rant over

As for tomorrow night I am looking forward to possibly crafting new armour for some of my alts

Templar is VR16 and still using lvl 46 stuff save for the new Kena and Arcane Willpower set he is using

My Magicka DK is VR something and also using like lvl 40 gear still, so is my Stamblade I think he's VR6 and using lvl 45 gear

So I am looking forward to spreading the love, I am not rich so epic gear will have to suffice for the time being

I am excited and positive. However do NOT give them a slap on the wrist this could make or break your company so decide wisely guys.

I'd say given the SERIOUSNESS of this matter chancing the ToS to naming and shaming is appropriate so I would say emergency ToS for forum name and shame exceptions are made ONLY FOR HACKERS.

Let the community help you get these bans out. If you get 20 people to do this for hours you can easily ban a couple of thousand accounts in a week ( if that many people hacked )

I bet thousands of those will then appeal and say: " I didn't hack, my account was hacked and hackers hacked using my account..." or "my brother/ friend/ dog hacked my game I didn't do it or know about it!" don't believe those lies.

If you do the in game Exploration achievement "Give to the Poor" you will know how easily people can lie ( those damn beggars are all liars )
