Killed by a player while being afk

I switched away from the game for a few minutes and when I came back, I found myself killed by a player in the middle of Mournhold. I have duel invites disabled.
What is this crap? Can't you do anything about hackers/cheaters??

    I do know that you have to disable duel invites on each character - it's not an account-wide setting. But, if you did have it disabled for that character, I wonder how they could circumvent it?

    There is a bug right now if you get the mark of the worm debuff before the end of a Battleground and you exit the arena at the end, you keep the debuff. It basically behaves like Proxy Detination. Most likely killed because someone around you still had the debuff on them.

    It's not a cheater or hacker, it's a bug introduced in CWC.

    Seems like it could be unintentional.
    Maybe once it's unintentional, pretty sure if you did this a whole bunch you can't claim innocence.

    Unless you just end up in battleground matches that end right as you get this a lot. Which is possible given how suddenly they end at times. And if you are like me, you load into battle grounds from highly populated areas like Mournhold. I'd hate to get banned for something out of my control.

    It's not like it actually does anything detrimental. PVP kills cost nothing for armor repairs. And you can revive at a wayshrine for free. For the most part, I cannot see this being an issue anywhere but in towns, and it seems like it would be nearly impossible to target specific players with this repeatedly.

    Harmless bug, not an exploit. And definitely not something worth banning others over.

    This isn’t a cheat but it is an exploit and Zo$ has a history of punishing people who use exploits, even if it is unintentional.

    I remember Fengush brought up this point about the ambush exploit that allowed players to leap onto keeps. He mentioned a few guys in Cryolag didn’t know it was an exploit but rather thought it was an actual mechanic. Zo$ suspended these players.

    I would not be surprised if Zo$ did the same here. Hope they don’t punish Gilliam but wouldn’t be surprised to see suspensions tossed around because of this exploit.

    Side note; I miss Fengrush’s rage vids.

    The difference between the Ambush exploit and this is that the Ambush exploit actually had the ability to impact gameplay and effect keep takes. This glitch is meaningless (there are no stakes) and is going to happen to a lot of people who have a battleground end in an in-opportune time.

    And again, I wouldn't characterize this as a cheat or an exploit. An exploit is taking advantage of problem in the game to gain an advantage. Teleporting into a keep is an advantage. Accidentally killing players in a town does not gain any advantage and is essentially harmless.

    If the player repeatedly takes steps that are not normal steps to trigger this then it's not unintentional and therefore worthy of a ban.

    It can only be done to AFK players or fools since all one has to do is leave the dueling area and it ends.

    Of course it takes a real stud muffin to glitch out AFK and kill them because they are to lame to handle combat in BGs and Cyrodiil. Generally the type that would do this isn't very good at actual game play.

    In the end, it's clear why the justice system with an opt out feature was scraped and will never be implemented into ESO.

    I have to admit, if people used this to destroy bots, they would immediately be on my favorite people list. If ZOS can't get a handle on it, its about time the players had a way to wreck those bot trains.

    Yeah, like they banned people for dupping, exploiting vmol, using cheat engine, robbing.

    Oh *** they did, for 1 week until they realized they were no life with 2 years sub already paid.

    The only way in this game to get you perma banned is by wearing a white costume and using the fire emote in a popular city.

    I doubt it could be that, you have to accept the duel, if someone invite you, right?
