Ultimate and other hacks being swept away?

Tavore1138 · May 2016

It would seem that a lot of the threads about this are being chopped so have mods been instructed to cover this up... again?

Hard to trust a game where the response to epic and proved cheating is to sweep it under the rug.

Will ZOS give us a plan of how they will be dealing with cheats and hackers or will there be a continued effort to pretend the game is fine while they charge 4k a mount?

A serious game that was aiming to survive more than a couple of years would be trying to fix this while keeping the player base informed - a game that planned to treat it's players as cash cows and never fix anything before pulling the rug would cover it up and keep quiet... which will ZOS be?

I hope they will answer....

Dude they ALREADY answered this and explained how they are addressing the issue, several times.

Most of the threads were discussing the same thing, so they got closed and people got directed to post in the most active one.

Just a quick update for everyone regarding the recent influx of those using third party tools to cheat in ESO. We've adjusted our automatic anti-cheat systems to focus specifically on the cheats we've seen in the last few days, in addition to launching investigations on specific players. We've permanently banned 43 players in the last 24 hours who were found to be cheating. We don't take cheating lightly, and will continue to ban those who are found to be cheating. We'll be going back through game logs to identify players who were violating our anti-cheating policies in the hours before we performed the automatic cheat detection adjustment.

In addition, we're working on a number of fixes and improvements to prevent this kind of behavior from happening in ESO in the future. We'll provide more specific details about this tomorrow.

We want to thank everyone who has helped us identify those who would ruin your game experience by cheating, and the means by which they were doing so.

Thx

Sorry wasn't trawling every post on every thread for a generic no answer answer - looking for an actual announcement from the company in question.

<50 idiots banned, unknown large number of people can continue hacking and reaping the rewards without any problems.

I guess as long as ZOS hangs a few idiots from a tree in the front yard, the plebs are more than happy to think it's all getting better.

Apparently you missed the, "We'll be going back through game logs to identify players who were violating our anti-cheating policies in the hours before we performed the automatic cheat detection adjustment." This certainly sounds like ZOS isn't done yet!! KUDOS to them for taking an aggressive perma-ban stance this time around... the '3-day ban' last time apparently led too many people to believe that ZOS was too easy on cheats and exploiters.

Indeed, nothing to see here... post 300 on an old thread equals proper communication... just be quiet until we vount the dlc receipts...

While the communication linked to is definitely appreciated and on the right track, this issue is huge and really needs to have a nice big global sticky post that flat out tells people what's going on. I don't think it's reasonable to have to find official comms buried in a giant thread scattered on a forum filled with threads on the same issue.

@ZOS please close this thread too. It serves no purpose as our team of developers have been working on this issue for many months. The forums are not made for this type of posts.

OP please open a ticket instead and do not worry the new player base who come here for help and contructive comments. If you are that unhappy with the game and those who produce it, you have every right to leave. Also let me remind you that goodbye threads are not permitted either. There are an overwhelming majority of players who love this game and are grateful for those who work so hard to make it a reality. I will no longer post here but I had to add my opinion once.

*looks at very top of webpage at the Dev tracker, clicks on dev tracker, sees that half the comments on the first page for dev comments is about the hacking and progress reports*

Hello everyone,

As one had mentioned above, and as we had mentioned on the threads that were closed, we are trying to reduce the amount of duplicate threads with the same topic. We had left the earliest and most active thread open for discussion, which can be found here. For all the latest information on what's being done, we recommend heading on over to that discussion. Rest assured this issue is not being swept under the rug! With that said, we're going to go ahead and lock this thread.

Thank you for understanding.
