Is Gap Closing a Keep cheating?

Is it cheating? I mean you're using an exploit for an advantage so wtf and now people are using that to take keeps in under 30 seconds.

✭✭My personal opinion: Depends on how you do it. If you have a friend on the different alliance who helps you get inside I would consider it cheating. If you get inside because the defenders stand in stupid positions and then don't manage it to kill you or knock you off the wall after you jumped them I would say it's fair gameplay.9 -

✭✭✭✭✭YesIt's not a question, it's literally the rules. If you enter a keep without breaking the walls or doors it's an exploit.
Don't matter what you feel, themselves the rulesTl;dr really weigh the fun you have in game vs the business practices you are supporting.18 -

I was born with the wrong sign
In the wrong house
With the wrong ascendancy
I took the wrong road
That led to the wrong tendencies
I was in the wrong place at the wrong time
For the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme

✭✭YesCheat exploit are roughly the same but never a less it needs fixed.
I'll admit to leap onto a ledge once or twice but to immediately jump off cause when you got 7 players spamming frags and siphon you tend to start button mashing.1 -
Morbash✭✭✭✭NoTechnically it's an exploit since it's not an intended mechanic. However, I think the ability to scale keep walls should remain in ESO. Sieging is boring."War doesn't build character; it reveals it."0

Junipus✭✭✭✭✭YesTechnically an exploit, but doing it on NPCs to get into the inner keep is definitely not sportsmanlike, or unsportsmanlike, or anything other than exploiting.The Legendary Nothing1

PeggymoeXD✭✭✭✭YesI say yes. But I do it. No logical reason. ZOS won't grow a pair and fix it, so why not do it.
But at the same time, it's easy to not stand on the edge/grate of a keep. At a certain point you can only blame yourself for being the target someone gap closed to. 90% of us know it's an issue that shows no sign of being fixed, so just be aware if you're going to continue to play the game.
Peggy Story Corner: Just yesterday a friend I regularly play Halo with mentioned he was getting ESO for PC. It's quite sad that there so many issues such as this one I can only hope he muscles through as a new player. It's hard to pitch a game to hesitant people when you're well aware of all the issues in it.Kitty DK

✭NoI think it's situational. If you do it and then take the keep, then it's wrong imo. But if you do it to kill Snipers or those nasty overloading sorcs on the grating(above main gate), I honestly think it's fine.
+ It adds a lot more complexity to sieging. Now the defenders need to worry about not standing too close to the edge etc.
I honestly like it. But not when it's used to take the keep

I mean, we told ZOS about this as soon as DB hit PTS, which was around 2 months ago. I'd say that meets the criteria for "feature" status.4 -

I think what he is referring to was a recent statement from Jessica. She said "Any method used to gain access to a keep without sieging the walls is an exploit." (Wish I knew precisely where it was, so I could link).
Unless you're kidding, in which case lemme grab my climbing gear cause grappling hooks sound sweet.Edited by DocFrost72 on July 4, 2016 10:36PM0 -

Lord-Stien✭✭✭Yes@ZOS_BrianWheeler Is this a fair unintended way to get ino keeps?
or is not a intended way?
Just last week i had 2 guys in guild get a 3 day bann for doing just that...
And yet we see a lot of other people doing it and not getting banned......Sometimes the real enemy are the one who moderate it.

RocDonald✭✭✭I don't think it's a cheat. Nobody is messing with the coding to do it, so no. But I suppose if you go by the "unwritten rules of conduct", (lol, if such a thing exists) then I suppose utilizing an exploit could be considered "cheating". It probably should get fixed though, kinda defeats the purpose of walls.0 -
Jaronking✭✭✭✭✭
✭NoPersonally I love doing it and its very fun wish ZOS keep it in the game.Its very entertaining to gap closer on to a group of defenders right at the same time someone hits them with counter siege and DBOS Them at the same time for a wipe.Its best addition to the game.

No it's a exploit but players like you don't wanna admit it cause you want easy mode and to look good on your streams taking taking keeps with out any one knowing.
Like no offense but are you really that bad at PvP you can't even play it right or not use cheese builds and set and spam skills ?4 -
