✭✭I prefer hearing about exploits after they are fixed. Why? Because it cuts down on temptation. Nobody is tempted to try out a exploit that is already fixed. So no risk of getting banned because you were a curious Khajit and couldn't control yourself.
Side note, i hope your account gets fixed @nine9six cus that just sux. And if it means a roll back, then i really don't mind the extra time i'll have to play to get back to where i left off. Cus thats just not cool to do that to people.
The servers are down so what would be the difference between telling us now or when they are back up?PC/EU DC4 -

Ok Gina, you win...
Who knows, then, let's do this:
ZOS start to consider 'the collection' - Subscription Time - period of the game only, exclusively, when we are online?

Well if it was something similar to what the Great House Hlaalu (which might i add, is not the greatest of the great houses) leader was talking about, you could still mess around with people's accounts. Even if the game server is offline.

If a roll back happens.. I lose 225k that I had just made from a sale of a Necropotence Lightning Staff
I need that gold to use towards a mansion when I get there.. lol.1 -

Unless there is a law or legal requirement, there shouldn't be a reason to not be 'allowed to say' - at least in the most generic terms.. e.g. some people were found to 'get' 50 items for the price of 1 - whatever - without giving up the exploit (so people dont frantically try to discover it) and sure do this after you take the servers down.
There is no 'not allowed' - its simply a 'choose not to' because most users tolerate it and *some* would rather focus on flower or kitten memes
I meant being allowed/not allowed by her higher-ups rather than the actual laws. ZOS on the whole doesn't seem to be much on transparency/communication in general and I'd imagine community managers basically just tell the players what they're told/allowed to tell themselves, not what they personally choose to.1 -

Yeah i'd lose about 625k or something over night but I'd rather sacrifice those sales if it meant someone to get there 3 year progression back tbh, also means they can just go literally buy it again so all not lostEdited by Cpt_Teemo on August 16, 2017 3:49PM13 -

Well, that might depend on if it really is about a server roll back or not. Since account stealing is mostly done by gold sellers. And those you do not want to warn ahead of time that you're cracking down on their key accounts before you can do some real serious damage. of the type that will cost them actual money instead of in game gold.What are Natch Potes? Can you eat those?

Dont bother asking - all of these posts are being ignored and the 'light banter' ones are being responded to.
Further, we should also be told how many bans were issued.
I'm checking with a few contacts and most are certain they know what it is - not very impressed - dang those cheaterz!Edited by StackonClown on August 16, 2017 3:48PM0 -

✭To touch on what I was saying...for the dude up there that thinks it's a personal attack.
They kicked people in the Guild to make room for their other accounts to get added to our Guild. We're always at capacity, so have to kick to invite.
They promoted other accounts to speed-up the purge of the Bank and to gain access to the Bank, as only Officers have access (good time to touch base on the Guild Overhaul ESO so desperately needs!).
They at least had the decency to re-promote me to GM (LOL) and our Officers. Shame they kicked a few OG Beta / Psijic Order members when they were making room. ***...
They also bought Crown Crates and unlocked some mounts. In my original ticket, I noted that behavior as a method to prove it wasn't me. I cannot stand Crown Crates. haha
They also deleted a Warden of mine. Not sure why. I suspect their main is a Templar and they're still bitter about Major Mending and Blazing Spear Stun.
Passwords have been changed, also.Wake up, we're here. Why are you shaking? Are you ok? Wake up...13 -

Hey! Don't knock it till you try it.
I get up at 4:30 am and play till 6 am before getting ready for work. Sometimes that is the only time I get to play.
I am on the East coast and often find West coast players doing a late night play. They say good night and I reply good morning. LOL8 -
WyndStryke✭✭✭... but atleast its not like eve-online when they found a large exploit the servers were instantly shut down with no warning. So at least you got a warning.:)
If it is an account hijacking issue as speculated, then perhaps it would have been better to just immediately shut down without warning.

Sheyta✭✭✭I never encounter any exploit from 1990's
I dont know what people realy do are they playing a game or are they trying to crack the servers?
Well there was a item bug on time in eve online but that was ccp's error and I think I got to keep it as
memory by ccp
And there was some error in a sql server on ED and we got to keep it
it's only a game not irl issues0 -

This is ZOS - Their on/off switch is RNG based, so they only have a 1 in 6 million chance of getting the result they want whenever they press it. They are thinking about introducing a token system to make it faster, but there's no ETA yet.

I'm cool if pm comes after servers are back up and exploit is fixed, in case ZOS doesn't reveal what it was. dirty worthless casual.

You do realize people put "Time" into playing games, and also not to mention they're is very personal information most of the time on those games you don't want others to know about, so don't go there ever about "It's only a game not Irl issues" it definitely is a "RL issue"5 -

Really? Somebody lost 3,5 years worth of progress possibly because of an exploit but boohoo if you have to re-do some hours of play. Selfish much?What are Natch Potes? Can you eat those?
