    I have to say, it sucked hearing from players like Gottbeard who was 100% legit (and was a huge reporter/tester of bugs both on live and the PTS) how they were banned from the game and then see people who are blatantly exploiting things like the histbark bug and then posting videos of themselves to the forums and there's no action from ZOS.

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

    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.

    high = anything above the absolutely minimum with 5/1/1 undaunted bonus and blue food. the ONLY viable reason to have increased HP for end-game PvE dps is actually using TBS

    Pretty sure that was a different reason @Gilliamtherogue .. that just got hotfixed (I believe) yesterday.

    Folks, you're not going to be able to really deal with some of the individuals here. It's been reported here so hopefully ZOS will give it attention, but the underlying problem with cheaters and exploiters will remain since we don't permanently ban some of these individuals.

    I suggest to try a social experiment, tweet at ".@TESONLINE #ESOCheater " with a screenshot or youtube link. Those of us that would like to know can search the feed and reply.

    Alternatively you can post on reddit, but that is still moderated and not easy to search for names or exploits.

    What you do with this information after is up to you of course. Ban them from your guild, hunt them down, add them to a block list, or examine the evidence and see if they are valid

    Enables certain players to have 2x mundus boons at the same time, without using the now infamous twice born star set.

    Isn't this feature the very kind of thing that can help players to potentially detect some exploit and report it?

    There is no exploit as long as you cant see no exploit. That`s the idea.

    They're tired of dealing with all the reports, and looking for ways to fix the mess they've made.

    Tbh, with the twice-born star exploit, it's pretty much join or die atm on PC EU.

    This seems strange tbh... Is there not a more detailed explanation of the reasoning for the change? - maybe thoughts from someone out there as to the reasoning? -

    I think we should petition ZOS to *leave* that feature alone!

    No, its for disable features like the ones used in Miats addon. Which is great. That addon is utter crap and greatly influence gameplay

    I doubt half the population is exploiting the bug. Half the PVP population maybe, but then Zos could take that much of a loss with no pb, seeing as it's already so thin of a percentage compared to the pve crowd.

    PvP is literally crawling with this kind of play, good thing this is all you have seen thus far....just wait till you come across a 'boosting party' somewhere. Turn it in and players are back over and over and over and just keep at it. With Zeni making multi faction homes on same server its pretty clear they are actively moving to destroy PvP as a thing entirely, coupled with failure of unimaginable proportions to deal with exploiters and outright cheats its basically telling us if we bought the game for PvP, they won't even pretend anymore that PvP is actually in the game. Plausible deniability.

    After winning a 1v1 fight in Cyrodiil earlier I got accused of exploiting the Hist Bark set. Honestly didn't know what the guy meant but now I read here on the forums that apparantly expoiting is widespread and ZoS isn't even acknowledging it.

    This does create two problems:

    - If nothing is being done about it by ZoS then everyone is going to have a "join the cheaters or forever be at a disadvantage" mentality

    - Players that choose not to cheat will be accused of cheating anyway when they outplay their opponents fairly, creating a toxic community
