    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.

    There is a system where people get automatic ban if they got a certain amount of report for the same reason. That works for "offensive" char names and zos might have enabled it for ultimate cheat. If they did people too dumb to notice somebody is emperor, or just salty can report someone and get him banned although no third party program was used. Thats what happened to some people yesterday.

    So you say that their high-end anti-cheat system is actually parsing the complaints sent by players? resulting in bans? Actually, I wouldn't be surprised. I think i have to write a few complaints tonight :lol:

    This whole thing is just getting better every second. ;)

    Just saying an emperor is as possible cheater as anyone else. Because I don´t know anything about this case I let ZOS do their work. Apparently, there are many players who did cheat and got banned.

    Emperors getting auto-banned for having 2x ulti gain and next update using gap closers will be considered an exploit.

    They might as well start auto-banning people for daring to log into the game at all at this rate. :D

    I find it kinda stupid that they only adjusted their anti cheat stuff to detect the ult gain when people might be using it in a smart way and increasing their regen and other things. From what is known it seems possible to use the cheat engine in a more subtle manner.

    But well, ZoS will be ZoS.

    How this kind of stuff can be screwed around with on the client side is beyond me. You'd think they would keep this data in a server-based database. People's gear and stats and everything.

    If you are wrongfully banned, there is a process to appeal. Im sure if you were banned on the basis of a technicality, it will be discovered upon further review. These types of threads are usually BS and a desperate attempt by cheaters to fish for sympathy and possible excuses to mask their guilt.

    exacly this> all the 3 day bans they gave during the crafting writh survey maps, 100% of them was legit and right. so all those who pretended that they didnt know were just liars. all that crying and whining that we didnt exploit. BS

    My guild have been planning on trying to reach top scores in trials for a long time.
    We finally got our best player together and started with getting to know eachother in some AA runs.
    We got to top 4 EU, and this random guy starts whispering one of us, saying we cheat to get the score, and start accusing and spread rumors about us.
    We was in AA for 3,5 hours yesterday, with our best players in a progression guild. And gets accused by this.

    I understand its easy to accuse, and I dont take it personal. Just sharing experience about what happends when stuff like this is out there.

    Somebody being auto banned is a suspect... and "taken in custody", losing his freedom of movement.
    He is not (yet) condemned.


    From Gulliver's travels from Jonathan Swift: the Giants and the Lilliputians

    Gulliver also describes many of Lilliput's laws, telling the reader that dishonesty and false accusations are punished more severely than theft and other terrible things are punished in England. If someone in Lilliput accuses another but is proven to be wrong in the accusation, the accused is punished severely while the falsely accused person is rewarded.

    Jonathan wrote this book because of the snakepit of accusations on the royal court of Queen Elisabeth the first in UK, leading to many beheadings of innocent people.

    Justice in western society needed a long road to outgrow the mobs causing witch hunting and lynching indeed.

    I have sat on on a TS server had seen/heard a raid of 30+ people all report a single player for "exploiting" and nothing happened. Also wasn't the leader of a dueling guild recently mass reported and didn't get banned?

    This system is used for offensives char names, if a player gets reported x amount of times for a char name he gonna have a name change+ a warning automatically. I'm pretty sure (its only assumption tho) they can enable it when they want for whatever kind of rulebreaking action. This or they dont know how their game works and what an emp can do.

    All I'll say is this.

    A guildie I know got banned, and ZOS was able to know that he had been running the program since 2015 because they do log what interacts and hooks the game executable. I only know this because I know someone who was working directly with ZOS on helping catch these people.

    If you got banned you got banned because at some point you had used such a program and they are going back a very long time in those logs now that they know how to find it...sorry in this case Those banned are 99.9% sure not innocent. they have logs to know what you had hooking the game client, there are no innocents this time around. They are also going back as far as 2014, if you ever installed it used such a program they will know.

    Yes they do log what programs interact and hook the game exe. They are not as clueless as many here seem to think they are

    Not too long ago with the survey exploit scam, ZOS pointed out there were no innocent bans and not to believe the waves of forum posts.

    And I'd honestly be surprised if we weren't expecting dozens of 'emperors' claiming innocently to have been banned now that they're taking care of exploiters. Don't be fooled.

    Regardless, these comments, false bans, false accusations are case in point why Zazeer's actions were so misguided.
