Exploiting player base

Dear ESO Community and Administrators,
In the last two days it has become patently clear that characters can exploit with impunity.
There's absolutely no way people could legitimately level to 50+ in <20 hours yet there is a group who have achieved this seemingly achievable feat.
Players abusing the game to gain an unfair advantage is what ruined other MMO's, and while you might ask how does it impact anyone else's enjoyment of the game it does. Its natural to compare your achievements with others and be competitive - when your losing in part because of cheating it detracts from everyone's enjoyment.
Community - we are only as strong as we chose to be, report exploiters. If they are your friends ask them not to do it.
Administrators - please do something about this sooner rather than later. My personal suggestion is to delete characters caught exploiting to the level that we are seeing at the moment. No warnings no second chances. If people knowingly exploit they know they are doing it and they know they shouldn't be. If you are soft on this they will continue to run the gauntlet knowing the first time they get caught they can stop.

They probably all grouped up and speed leveled because they knew the best routes from beta...People get to level cap within 2 days of release of pretty much every MMO. They just sit on their computers all night and all day until they feel like they are accomplished for racing to max level. It is very likely they are not exploiting.
Plus zenimax has more important things to worry about, like so many people suddenly not being able to login at all with no explanation.0 -
They aren't exploiting, most of the people that made 50 were on the private test server and already knew exactly where every thing is, and what to do. In fact quite a few them were live streaming and z os themselves provided the links to the videos. I myself got to 40 today because I chose to explore and craft etc...its really not that hard lolBrave New World.0
