    Not only are some video posters abusing this, they were also abusing a number of other things as the same time.

    The problem, other than ZOS' lack of action, is the cheering of known cheaters when they post their videos... even when it's obvious to many that the video poster is a cheater.

    Want to know how you get the forum title "beast" (like "X is a beast")? It's not via skillful play... it's mostly exploits. They have been abused and abused so long, that many don't even realize how prevalent it is.

    Crux of the issue is how these lowlife cheats are lauded and praised in game and on the forums. Particularly those that can and will never "share" their build and run with no buffs showing. In game, many of them are just nearly impossible to land an attack on... and certainly not enough in a row to kill them. It's not skill....

    Like "anger lying-honor". Gets celebrated with every video... Meanwhile in game he just dodges bunches and bunches of attack and then does max damage barrages on people while never running out resources. Obviously I won't use names, but these type of players are not legit, but they get cheered on with their videos here and treated like champions in game. They are cheaters... they have been cheaters a long time now... they just keep getting away with it. Not only do they get away with it, they are literally treated like royalty by their factions. So much so... that even in the face of conclusive evidence, people will defend them.

    The response is always some drivel about "envy" and having to l2p.

    Awesome post.

    Whats funny is after that Sunday where all hell broke lose some of them were mia for a bit or down right killable all of a sudden. 2 of the more well known streamers were all of a sudden hitable and killable. Now they are like the matrix again. Unlimited resources and dodge chance of 80%.

    You really hate streamers don't you? You've literally claimed every streamer of ESO is a cheater I'm pretty sure.

    He thinks I'm a cheater :(

    Didnt see this.

    No i do not. Show me where i have said that. If i did i sincerely apologize. What i said is i dont believe in giving streamers money. And that u use whatever cheese is out there. And that dont be surprised that no one will push u for emp when u faction hop and do nothing for the factions u are currently playing on.

    For a time i actually watched u. For free mind u like everyone shoukd do, when u played with Aetch. Very entertaining.

    Eh the only one I've yet to see the bs from is Sypher.

    ONLY ONE.

    You love to comment, but you play EU. Many of us actually fight these streamers in NA-land. If you haven't fought them and just watched nothing but a steady stream of dodges and the actual ultimate to the face that somehow misses entirely.... It's easy to deny everything.

    Sypher and Fengrush are completely legit. The other two popular ones not a chance in hell. NA streamers that is.

    Blobs is legit. Also the best imo. Very level headed and lots of good info and entertaining. Came close to subscribing for the first time. Just couldnt pull the trigger. Something about giving someone money to watch the play a video game. I am coming around tho i think. Better than the girls that suck preying on lonely dudes tho. Lol

    Interesting that you think Blobs is legit but not the NA streamers.

    As rfennell said, I play EU so can only view NA streamers. You play NA and can only view EU.

    You can test it. Without naming, there is a late teen streamer, lol, that posts his builds. Try it. Watch your resources plummet. Watch how many times u passively dodge. U think they are the only ones that know how to animation cancel, dodge roll, etc?

    I really wish Zos would remove passive dodging. The watch. One thing will happen. They will die way more often. Or they will "quit" and move to a new game. Lol.

    Watch them. Watch thier resources. Watch how many times the are dodging. Watch how much damage they take when focused with non dodgable attacks.

    U add in abusing vitality pots and vigor.

    GG. Unikillable.

    False. Just 2. And this is precisely what he was talking about. Blindly defending. They were killable and hitable for like a week.

    Trust me. I know. Igot banned from thier stream for making a comment about the 80% increase on how often they were dying.

    If u dont think some ayers are jacking up dodge chance and regen your nuts.

    You cannot have that much damage and roll dodge that much and retain resources like that. And one of them puts up thier build. Tried them all to see. Resources plummet. That is a fact

    I'm not saying you are right or wrong, but if you are going to accuse people of cheating then shouldn't you provide evidence?

    Just because cheating may be widespread in ESO, it does not make us all expert adjudicators.

    ESO is a very fast game with an ability GCD of less than one second and layered combat prioritization. This means that highly dexterous players are able to do things that most people cannot.

    Furthermore, ESO is extremely complicated and poorly documented. I know some amazing theory crafters, and even they have knowledge gaps I can recognize -- this goes for 99.99% of us.

    Finally, the game is extremely laggy at times. This can create all kinds of anomalies. What you experience in your client is not the same as what others experience.

    Unfortunately, this creates very muddy waters. Even without cheating, WTF moments are common.

    It's too easy to fall into the trap of branding every WTF moment as cheating. It's extremely unfair.

    This does not happen so much anymore, but back when I played every day during 2.1 and 2.2, I was regularly accused of cheating. I was once told that I had been zone-reported. I know for a fact that I do not cheat.

    If you want to be a cheat-buster, put in in the work. Run combat logs that report milliseconds. Record video.

    My POV is that ESO simply has no integrity. I think it's a mistake to take results seriously or to play at a highly competitive level. Highly competitive players looking for fair gameplay should play something run by a better company than ZOS -- who has shown us that they just don't care.

    Just because cheating may be widespread in ESO, it does not make us all expert adjudicators.

    ESO is a very fast game with an ability GCD of less than one second and layered combat prioritization. This means that highly dexterous players are able to do things that most people cannot.

    Furthermore, ESO is extremely complicated and poorly documented. I know some amazing theory crafters, and even they have knowledge gaps I can recognize -- this goes for 99.99% of us.

    Finally, the game is extremely laggy at times. This can create all kinds of anomalies. What you experience in your client is not the same as what others experience.

    Unfortunately, this creates very muddy waters. Even without cheating, WTF moments are common.

    It's too easy to fall into the trap of branding every WTF moment as cheating. It's extremely unfair.

    This does not happen so much anymore, but back when I played every day during 2.1 and 2.2, I was regularly accused of cheating. I was once told that I had been zone-reported. I know for a fact that I do not cheat.

    If you want to be a cheat-buster, put in in the work. Run combat logs that report milliseconds. Record video. Learn ESO's combat system well-enough to extrapolate character stats from footage -- this is possible. If cheating is so obvious to the casual observer, then it must be also easy to prove objectively.

    Maybe the easiest and fairest solution would be for everyone to use double mundus. There wouldnt be any issue then.

    It would certainly help even the field, so to speak. Then they should change the twice born star to something like black rose does for constitution passive. Make the 5th bonus of twice born star boost Mundus boons by 30% or so. Would rid the game of this exploit reappearing every 6 months.

    I was speaking to the more general accusations and the people who make them.

    I am reminded of a PM video in which one of its members describes with authority that their opponents are obviously hacking the carrier wave with scripts. He really used the term 'carrier wave', and many of those listening seemed to buy it. Misinformation like this can be contagious. It is arguably as big of a problem as cheating. Both are unjust.

    Don't get me wrong. It think other games with better transparency have demonstrated that when cheating is possible and low risk in online games, it is always widespread. I assume this to be generally true in ESO, both with glitching (double mundus, hist bark, overload bar bugs) and more severe forms of cheating like memory hacking. But just because this is true doesn't mean I should label someone a cheater merely because something I do not understand happened.

    Not only are some video posters abusing this, they were also abusing a number of other things as the same time.

    The problem, other than ZOS' lack of action, is the cheering of known cheaters when they post their videos... even when it's obvious to many that the video poster is a cheater.

    Want to know how you get the forum title "beast" (like "X is a beast")? It's not via skillful play... it's mostly exploits. They have been abused and abused so long, that many don't even realize how prevalent it is.

    Crux of the issue is how these lowlife cheats are lauded and praised in game and on the forums. Particularly those that can and will never "share" their build and run with no buffs showing. In game, many of them are just nearly impossible to land an attack on... and certainly not enough in a row to kill them. It's not skill....

    Like "anger lying-honor". Gets celebrated with every video... Meanwhile in game he just dodges bunches and bunches of attack and then does max damage barrages on people while never running out resources. Obviously I won't use names, but these type of players are not legit, but they get cheered on with their videos here and treated like champions in game. They are cheaters... they have been cheaters a long time now... they just keep getting away with it. Not only do they get away with it, they are literally treated like royalty by their factions. So much so... that even in the face of conclusive evidence, people will defend them.

    The response is always some drivel about "envy" and having to l2p.

    Awesome post.

    Whats funny is after that Sunday where all hell broke lose some of them were mia for a bit or down right killable all of a sudden. 2 of the more well known streamers were all of a sudden hitable and killable. Now they are like the matrix again. Unlimited resources and dodge chance of 80%.

    You really hate streamers don't you? You've literally claimed every streamer of ESO is a cheater I'm pretty sure.

    Eh the only one I've yet to see the bs from is Sypher.

    ONLY ONE.

    You love to comment, but you play EU. Many of us actually fight these streamers in NA-land. If you haven't fought them and just watched nothing but a steady stream of dodges and the actual ultimate to the face that somehow misses entirely.... It's easy to deny everything.

    Care to explain what BS I did? Generally curious.

    Also @Darnathian I mistook you with someone else, my bad.

    Actually I was saying you were the only streamer/youtuber I have NOT seen bs from.

    Others, mentioned in an above post... I have seen plenty of it from over the years.

    I don't sit and watch streams and only sometimes peruse youtube best of clips. But, there isn't a NA streamer I haven't fought... I know who is legit.

    To be honest I really don't know who even streams on NA to a degree to say I know who streams. It's not something I do, sit and watch streams (and I rarely have the patience to watch an entire youtube clip).

    Obviously my statements can't apply to every youtuber or twitcher and I don't mean them to.

    But of people that post youtube videos on these very forums from NA, there are very few that aren't up to some shenanigans past Sypher. It goes for many commenters as well.... I just say so because I fight them, I see nothing but ridiculous dodge spam and attacks that are stacked on top each other with no animations (many of which are dodgeable attack that someone land in the middle of my dodge roll animation).

    Went into cyro with my LUI Extended showing mundus boons on target frames. Holy cow, like 3 out of 10, if not more (probably more) are having 2 mundus stones active. And ofc everytime I asked them, they said they used twice born start. However, LUI extended can also show if target has any full sets equipped, and most ppl didnt. So...time to get this bug fixed perhaps?

    I run LUI Extended and i don't see anywhere it telling me what set armor (or how many pieces)someone is wearing UNLESS a 5 pc gives them a specific buff, like rattle cage then of course i see the 5 pc proc on them, But i run Twice born as well and have 2 mundus running. if they are running dual wield and your LUI is showing you less than a full armor set (which is likely what you're seeing then) its because it doesn't show what weapons they are running.

    It is actually fun how "elite" pvpers claim they use it coz it grant "small advantage".
    Imagine if entire vMoL raid wearing 5 Moondancer+5 Mother Sorrow just decided "hell, why not to get small advantage" and on top of those sets start wear 5 TBS.

    Who says they're aren't? Only ones who would know are the 12 inside the group.

    You can't hide your mundus stones (although next patch Zeni are changing that). I know Hodor are refusing to use TBS at all because of the likelyhood that idiots will claim they're cheating. They've all swapped their 5 TBS for BSW/MS etc. and all it takes is for whoever is vidding to just take a look at each person with a buff tracker on and you'll see 1 mundus.

    As for the # of people with the skin? I believe that is the result of the other bug where you can exploit Rakkhat specifcally. Something to do with HA's (what I've heard, the video got took down by Zos very quickly). Double mundus doesn't make people be able to do vMoL easily lol.

    in PvE it is actually pretty easy to spot wheter one exploits or does use TBS. Just check HP. TBS has a HP bonus, most other sets do not. 2x Mundus and lower HP then you should have? > exploit > goodbye ***

    What do you consider low? i run TBS and i have like 13 or 14k health unbuffed. TBS does not mean high health, its to compensate for us dps for putting all our points in mag or stam so we can run a buff setting us about 17-19k in pve.
    So thats really not a good measure.

    I like how there is a double meaning you placed there. The first option is the least logical and cost the least to implement. The second option is still illogical but an actual solution that may cost less to implement then coding the fix. The third option is the most logical but has lager impact and would require the most resources to implement and enforce; there by costing the most. It's pretty funny as it goes along with zos' decision making rational perfectly.

    So many people cheating, exploiting atm...even posting videos on the forums where they are clearly exploiting and claming how OP they are yet they get other people banned instead. Pretty sad state of affairs in ESO but this has been happening for a long time. And to people claiming that NA streamers are cheating...Twitch is probably the best way to see what people are doing and produces a level of transparency that clearly doesnt exist when it comes to people just running around cyrodiil or posting the occasional video.
