The Elder Scrolls Online: Account Witnessed by Gamemaster Suspension Notice

To put a end to all the what Zenimax would do with the rubber band farming problem at the dolmens, here you go. I am posting this knowing I will get flamed but I thought it would be good to let people know that there are GM'S in the game and are addressing these issues. This is a good thing, lets hope they keep it up.

✭✭✭About time to. Not gonna flame you, but sometimes it's good to think of others and not always of yourself when we all have to share the same gaming space in-game, depending on platform of course. Rubber banding at dolmens causes horrendous lag and sometimes freezes. What I'm trying to say, afford the rest of us the same courtesy you expect us to show you and we'll all get along nicely. No one wants to report others for what essentially is supposed to be fun.

✭✭Fantastic, Ive been seeing bots farming Greenshade right as you get off the boat in the bay there just north. They are running in a giant arc around the top of the bay killing mudcrabs and anything else that they pull. I watched this and followed them for an hour to see the pattern.
Glad there are GM's watching, but there are people boting in odd places so as not to be noticed. Dolmen farming is obvious.I AM UPDATING MY PRIVACY POLICY

Rubber banding a controller is putting a, well, rubber band around the controller so the action button is pushed in at all times. So the person can go away and do other things. In this case, people would park their character at a heavily populated dolmen and use a rubber band to keep the heavy attack trigger down. People aren't necessarily using rubber bands. It all depends on which button is the action button.
For example, I used to use tape to keep the thumb stick moving forward in oblivion on my 360 controller to level up sneak or athletics. Depending on what one of those i wanted, it would either be a rubber band or tape.Edited by Prof_Bawbag on March 10, 2017 6:48PM3 -

✭✭✭✭✭I'm glad to see this, and hopefully ZOS continues to be extremely strict with these people. I reported two the other day at Vulkhel Guard's dolemen for rubberband-botting... and hearing that they are actually doing something is a good thing. I mean, if one player sees other players doing it and nothing happening to them, they are encouraged to do it themselves... I am glad OP made the post because it shows that ZOS is doing the right thing and also should hopefully show other players that REPORTING does actually lead to GM investigations.CP: 2078 ** ESO+ 2025 Content Pass ** ~~ ***** Strictly a solo PvE quester *****

They can set their characters to be invisible, so they are only seen if that's their intent.Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster, and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you. ~Friedrich Nietzsche2 -

The point is gaining XP while not actually being there; they just rubberband their characters to auto-fire and walk away.CP: 2078 ** ESO+ 2025 Content Pass ** ~~ ***** Strictly a solo PvE quester *****
