Cyrodiil Emp/Guild Leader Never Logs Out

Curson · August 2017

There is a player on the PS4 platform that can be seen online at any hour of the day or night. It has become apparent that the person is actually multiple people playing the same account. Furthermore, this player has been known to night cap the entire map from 4amEST to 9amEST. This is ruining the experience and is causing people to leave Cyrodiil or the game entirely. What can be done about this situation @zos?

Nothing.

Have proof before throwing accusations around as I know players who match that description who do somehow manage to be on most of the time and as we are in the same guild and I can talk to them and know they are the same person.
Of course we always kid them about getting a significant other! lol
PS4 NA BTW.

I myself witness some players online almost 20+ hours on PS4 NA.

These users totally ruining game experience!

That he is so active doesn't mean it's multiple people. A lot of people stay awake for like two days to make emperor or just sleep like one hour. Making emperor is nothing but a duel in who can stay awake the longest.

If you can prove it's multiple people sharing an account, they can be banned for account sharing. But it's also possible that they are just one person who is online all the time.

How would a player prove multiple players are sharing an account? Not suggesting OP is correct that the account is even online 24h/day but proving account sharing would be impossible without either a hack or the person(s) admitting it.

Being retired and financially sound I often spend 18 to 20 hours a day online, though not always in Cyrodiil.

On the subject of multiple players using the same account, pay attention to their play styles.
Different players won't be as good at the build say a destro/bomber (hint) than the main account holder.

If you've personally witnessed it, doesn't that mean you also are online for that long?

the only way you could possibly know that someone is on all day & all night... is if you are on all day & all night!

The best thing you can do is send a ticket reporting said player.

This is so true, any former emp can vouch this. Ye who repairs the longest and spams the most heals becomes the king!
Tbh they should change the way you gain emp and make it who has the most kills, period. crap stat to go by but it would get the most keen people into the thick of it and out of the safety of keep walls. Or at the least AP gained via repairs does not count towards the total in a campaign.

I've went on huge binge playing sessions before when I had time off work. He could actually be playing that much.

An Emperor or Empress does not sleep, until he or she is crowned or pass from exhaustion.

How do you know the person isn't a meth head? Pretty sure being a junkie isn't against the ToS.

Prof_Bawbag · August 2017

I can see the appeal in risking a dvt or seizure for some inane in-game title. When i was younger we did pull all nighters playing the SNES etc (Mario Kart, SF2 etc) but the play time was shared amongst 4-6 people and we didn't play for 20 odd hours straight.

No idea. But if account-sharing is against the ToS, there needs to be some way for ZOS to be able to enforce it. Even if it boils down to reporting the account and letting ZOS look into it.
