I heard that you can cheese it and scale it to cp 10 and still get on the weekly. Looking at the scoreboard there is a 45k score that to me would strongly suggest that. Zos can you look into this and remove any non v16 runs from the weekly?

@ZOS_JessicaFolsom @ZOS_GinaBruno
It would be appreciated to know if we can get updated on this, i love dsa

Agreed.
This is really disheartening that there's no official response about this.
There was a thread about this exploit on pc... Ignored. I'm afraid this one will be ignored as well.
Really, what the?..

The worst thing ZoS can do right now is ignore this issue. Rewarding those who scale it down while players that fear the banhammer or for integrity sake have to fight those scores for leaderboard ranking is not right at all. While I'm not suggesting that the downscalers be permabanned, a message has to be sent that this is not the intended leaderboard behavior and ZoS should remove them from the weekly rewards pool.

Well, I guess the only way to get it patched is to reveal the exploit to everyone (like that survey bug).
Otherwise ZOS just doesnt care, sadly.

45k is very doable without exploits, i guess. we had a run without deaths but long afk breaks and pretty moderate damage (good DDs but using quite defensive ults) and ended up at 39.9k last week on pc. we are by no means dsa-fanatics who know the dungeon inside out and/or care about all-time leaderboards

45k is possible, just a no death under an hour; but current 45k run on PC EU was downscaled, so it shouldn't be there (I know those guys and one of them reported this bug to zos right after that run).

Possible yes, on console however. Leaderboards are typically the same people week in and week out, this week a bunch of random that don't appear on any other trial leaderboard at all minus a hrc that scored 700 are currently 6k ahead of the best pve groups. And all of them are not even max cp, that is what makes this so suspicious.

its against their code of conduct to exploit a glitch. But I don't think perma bans should be dealt. Especially if guildies are assisting lower levelled cp players through this content.

Only zos can determine if this is a glitch or exploit. Saying ban people for using an in game feature is ridiculous.

ButtersEP · August 2016

The cheese is real, today more randoms have even high scores then 45k.

Where do you find someone that's only CP 10 to scale it?

If you can do it ingame it is zos fault and not the players,i would say enjoy while its up

This mindset is exactly how ppl get banned. It's called exploits

ButtersEP · August 2016

No response from zos and it looks like they are going to let the exploiters get there rewards

So Ban People for using something in the game thats ZoS fault? Thats ignorant.

You can no longer do it.After they forced everyone to crash earlier this week you haven't been able to downscale DSA on Xbox.My buddy ran it the day they forced kicked everyone off the game and tried it the day after and it did not work.

You know, if you forgot to lock the door, it doesnt meant that someone who walked in and stole your stuff wont be arrested.
