While I'm not naive enough to think my hours are more than the WHOLE SERVERS...but think...if this happened to me...it could have happened to others.
That said, I have a LOT of hours in those 3.5 years lol.
I hope they don't have to roll the whole server back, and honestly, I don't think I'd want them to. Not "just for me". But I would like to have my isolated incident taken care of, and all of those who may have been affected as well. I'm not *that* big of a ***...
Exactly my point, if its possible to do to one person. it can be repeated. and nobody wants that. If the price of getting this exploit fixed so nobody in the future loses as much or more as you did, is a full server re-roll i gladly pay it for the account security it means. Account security means a whole lot more than just a few lost hours of game play.What are Natch Potes? Can you eat those?

Splosh✭✭I'm really intrigued as to how someone could bypass the security (2 factor authentication for unknown computer) in place to log into someone else's account, without knowing the password, as this would seem to be the case here.
The login server and the game server are two different things, so in order to be able to hijack this poor dudes account, you would have to be able to somehow authenticate to the login server as person A, then change the variables being sent to the server from the login server to person B, but you would have to know person Bs identifier in the login server as well as their authentication chain for the game server to accept it.
That's basically just reading the network traffic of the game and its inner workings like a phone switch, not sure someone has taken the time to do that.
Unless there is something wonky going on with the handshake between login server and megaserver that is changing people's identities around. <- that would be hilariously bad.
These things happpen^^2 -
Devilhand✭✭✭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.
Well, yea.. that makes sence for the permition part. Yet, I dont feel this is the reason. It's a personal account issue, does not justify for a whole server roll back and neither a hotfix mantainance. ZOS should be capable of returning such amount of items/gold after a proper investigation, as has done before to a friend of mine with out the need of going global.
And why the hell they would delete a toon? Warden hate there...
I feel they will manage to give you you your stuff back. GL.0 -

I sold the idea to a group of friends - Meaning, convinced them to buy it for this night. Yes. Sorry, I was unaware I needed a 'beta badge' to recommend the game to another person, where do I get permission to do this?7 -

Or it could have been the launch bug coming back to haunt the game as well where someone could randomly log into your account but not on purpose.1 -

That said, put in several hours this morning before servers were taken down,
completed a questline on an alt, and got an Impenetrable drop one a gear I was looking for for PvP,
but would be fine with a rollback if it is for the well-being of the game

Due to the nature of the exploit, we aren't able to divulge any details. That said, you can rest assured that we will be fixing it, and any accounts found to be abusing it will be taken care of.

LOL so yeah something wonky went on during the handshake from login to content server lol.
I mean I guess it could be malicious if someone could have gotten into the core code of the login server, but I mean, that seems unlikely.Tl;dr really weigh the fun you have in game vs the business practices you are supporting.0 -

I suggest you talk with support on that, but its possibly that they used stolen credit cards to buy stuff on your account and so they're investigating your account and the connected payment system.What are Natch Potes? Can you eat those?

Good. You should report the issue privately to ZOS, and wait for the investigation as the protocol says...
Saying the hot fix ON BOTH servers due to your personal web browser and game log in account in one of those servers for a hijacking issue, and panic people about a roll back, it's not the way to do it.
If you have evidence, then ZOS would care of it as has before.0 -

When that person's IP address expires and they obtain another one, will they still be banned?
What happens to the person who had nothing to do with the exploit but who is now banned because he or she has dhcp'ed the banned IP?
What's really funny is that three geniuses who gave you an "insightful", an "agree" and an "awesome" LMAO

Everyone seems to think this means the ban hammer.
If that were the case, I think the post would have read "any accounts found to be abusing it will be banned."
"Taken care of" is vague and from a purely linguistic view doesn't even necessarily mean something bad.
Example: "When my grandfather was sick, my family made sure he was taken care of."
