Is it still an exploit to downscale Veteran Sanctum?

I saw in zone chat today, someone wrote like if it was a daily pledge:
Lf1m low level player for Vet Sanctum.

I whispered the guy and asked why he wanted a low level player for it, and he said straight out it was to downscale Sanctum.


This is out there now, this is a meta to do. Since every player knows about this, im pretty sure Zenimax knows about this as well.
So Im wondering if this is accepted or still an exploit? And if its an exploit or a bug, why isnt it hotfixed yet?
Is this counting towards the high score btw?

    They are solely loot runs, you can't get a score.

    It's been discussed on here recently too, moderators were tagged in posts and it was a multi page thread so I'd would guess that pretty much everyone knows.

    The only thing I know is that this downscaling thing is now out of control. Yesterday I made a new char and I got pmed like 100 times in less than 6 hours of gameplay by people asking me if I could downscale the trial to lv 10. I don't think that's even possible, but there's no limit to greed I guess.

    So its not an exploit then, and this is confirmed intended as a game mechanic?

    Well the reason people are getting all huffy over it is because the loot drops at your level.

    I don't see it as much of an issue, a random team of 501 cps wil smash normal SO anyway. It just takes a bit longer.

    First of all, people who cant beat it the normal way, doesnt deserve the title either. Achievements are usually linked to prove you have done it. If someone link Ophidian Overlord title to me, I would assume he knew what he was doing. This way, its not a valid confirmation.

    Is it fair to have guilds working together and learn sanctum on max scale and farm it the right way, and then let people pug it downscaled like if it was a pledge and get same loot? Answer: no its not. Im still suprised people supports exploits.

    If this downscaling only works for normal sanctum and not veteran, then I agree the problem isnt that big.

    I got title/hm achievement. You think it's immk=oral to scale down like wgt to cp10, keep the drops and 2 gold keys? if so? how does that differ? at least in wft i may be tempted to do things other than decom my loot.

    The lowbie char has to be between level 46-49 if i remember right, for some reason. I done it once (out of 15 runs) today downscaled, every other group was cp160. Didnt see any other group asking for it downscaled all day.

    Only works in normal, 99.99% sure of that.

    Im not quite sure what you mean and sorry for that, but you are saying that you get vr16 loot and achievement and possible to downscale veteran sanctum? So hardmode drop gold vr16 ophidian rings for example?

    I am very against this, and have learned this trial with our guild, and farmed it for weeks now, upscaled. We even try time to time to get a high score. So this is actually quite demotivating to hear. Im an honest player, and I didnt even use the double mundus exploit back at that time. Everything I have achieved in this game, is 100% loyal and honest.

    I reported that player in zone chat btw, and will continue to do.

    Heh. My guild ran Maw at lvl 10 when it first came out. (We all rolled new characters) nothing beats getting that last piece of jewelry you needed for your build at lvl 10. On a good note, a newbie templar healer made out like a bandit with my lvl 10 Worm set

    Edit to answer the question: no. There's no benefit from scaling it down. It could be for practice of the mechanics for cp160 since it doesn't remotely compare to the normal version. I know I saw a thread a while back saying cp10 was dropping cp160 on console but it should be fixed by now.

    nono, just that I've done it legit. Neither legit vet hard mode or cheesed normal gives you good items (except hardmode on vet, but the items were still useless to me). normal mode and cp160 vet both give drops and 99% of the time it's training amd prosperous, there's nothing exciting or 'fun' about it at all. current;y even downscaled it's the longest, crappiest grind in the game.. Honestly I'm glad it'slvl 45, because if it wasn't that would just make the runs longer, teams harder to build, and it would be more of a nightmare thaj it already is.

    to be fair, how is this any different than downscaling wgt for a daily pledge. I see people doing this in grahtwood about once a week, and I thinknthe scaling bug works there too. it's as fun as killing mudcrabs, nobody wants to be there.

    I complete vetmode 1 time a week with guild, thats fun at least. tbh if they took training/prosperous (99.999999999% of the loot drops) out of the drop table I'd be with you 100% for fixing it. But until then I'd rather eat ,y own fingers off than grind there some more.

    while we're at it, let's ban anyome who skips bosses in darkshade to make helmet farms shorter. zos obviously didnt intend for this to happen, therefore just because it was unintentional it is an abusive exploit and anyone doing it should get a 15 day ban and forfeit their ill gotten gains.

    from now on, if you want to get your helmet legitimately you must go pvp, joing a pvp guild, illigitamately farm ap with this guild, and buy the helmet in a trait you don't want when the game allows for this to happen.

    ^this is the group line of thinking in this thread. people see a complaint and immediately stop thinking for themselves and let others do it for them.

    I complete vetmode 1 time a week with guild, thats fun at least. tbh if they took training/prosperous (99.999999999% of the loot drops) out of the drop table I'd be with you 100% for fixing it. But until then I'd rather eat ,y own fingers off than grind there some more.

    Yesterday..... all 3 bosses = 3 divines Ophidian and my last remaining necklace that I needed.

    Next run and next 5 runs afterwards, all on cp160 vet....all training not even prosperous Aether stuff and a Yokeda ring x3 and 2x skirmisher... seriously 5hrs of my life for nothing useful at all.

    Good Loot must be a on a cool down. Hadn't been on there for a while.

    haha then Inwas born with a cooldown! I'm 340-350ish runs in now, best for me was 2 infused ophidian. havent spent hour, been literal days now.

    edit

    been farming tonight, gor skirm ring first run, every single fina; boss loot has been staves/shields thus far, 11 staves last night.

    Something that is an actual legit, intended game mechanic cannot be an exploit. Downscaling is one of those mechanics.

    It isn't the downscaling, it is the loot dropping at max level while the instance is downscaled.

    So it's intended to get 160cp gold jewelery when You're doing downscaled trial?

    You don't get gold unless it's hardmode. Hardmode must be cp160. It's been said several times already.

    Stop. That's not true and you're being vindictive at worst or disingenuous at best. Scaling down does NOT give gold jewelry because you can't burn the banners on cp10 veteran. The scaling down these people are talking about is the same as scaling down wgt to get 2 gold keys.

    I dont see the point in doing the future upscaled trials if this is the case. I dont see the point in trying, learning and get achievement on max scaled trials, if people are still doing this. This really hurts some guilds tbh. Atm Sanctum is a dead trial for me. Me and others was looking forward to AA and HelRa, but not if its going to be same thing as sanctum now.

    And Im quite suprised that Zenimax havent even answered this. There is people out there who think this is a game mechanic and not a bad thing to do. As I said, there is zone chat with lf1m low level to downscale vet sanctum.

    .. And if for some reason this is intended, then please let me know so I can shut up.

    No it's not. They downscale the trial to get CP160 loot from lower-level mobs/bosses faster. Scaling down a daily will give you downscaled loot from the enemys and the two goldkeys from the quest. Those two keys now scale to your level.
