Can someone attack you without your consent?

I double checked and I do have Player vs Player combat on auto decline. I was in the Gold Coast and was about to pick up a plant and someone attacked me. I was getting damaged done. I thought he/she was mad because I picked up the plant first. I walked away and he/she still kept attacking me and I was finally able to run away.

So how could someone attack me if I have PvP on auto decline.
Not my quote but I love this saying

    That shouldn't be possible. This may be a stupid question, but are you sure it was a player and not an npc?

    Yes I am sure it was a player. The name above him/her was in blue. I couldn't read it properly because he/she was doing mega damage to me. I panicked and was about to die so I just took off. Now I know what ganking is like.

    I thought at first it was an NPC but why would they have attacked me? I just got out of the shrine in Gold Coast, went to the thieves area to sell some stolen loot

    The only time a player can attack you without your consent is in Cyrodill Zone PvP or you had auto decline duels off and accidentally accepted a duel invite from a salty player while farming nodes it should not be possible for another player to attack you without you accepting a duel invite it could have been a nightblade NPC ive mistaken those for players since they uncloack, attack and stun you if your not paying attention you could die

    Could have been a guard. Did you have a bounty from the stolen items you were about to sell ? I have been attacked by guards when I wandered too close and forgot I had a bounty.

    Just in case, check the setting... It does need to be changed for each and every one of your characters.

    Easy mistake.

    Honestly sometimes I think a player is following me out of the corner of my eye, but then I take a good look and turns out I forgot to put my Banker away.

    Their was a hack that allowed this way back in 2015, but I thought it was addressed in a couple of days.....I would be surprised if that returned.

    There is no PvP toggle, only an auto decline duel setting.
    You can't attack another player unless you accept a duel challenge in a PvE zone which the Gold Coast is not.
    There are NPC random nightblades in the Gold Coast that will attack you if you enter their area though.
    They ambush just like a player.

    JTAG is an interface which allows you to load code and debug flash memory or custom ICs in a console or other device from a computer. Takes expertise beyond your typical gamer.

    Not going to debate jailbreaking a console and risking network ban with someone who doesn't have the tools to understand what they are talking about.

    Even without auto decline on there is a warning before any dueling. A timer and a banner dropping.

    I would suggest reporting it to Zos in game as they may be able to gleam something from the incident. It may even show Zos made the correct decision to not implement the PvP part of the justice system since flagging systems are flawed.

    As someone with duels on auto-decline, I once accidentally submitted a duel request to someone while running, tapping keys and absentmindedly doing writs. That could happen also.

    I don't know how Duels are accepted on PC, is it with just a single key press like 'E'? Cause on Console you have to hold the menu button down and then move the left thumbstick over to 'Yes' on the pop up wheel, which is more complicated and easily avoidable if someone suddenly duel requests you at random.

    But on PC if it's as simple as pressing 'E' while you're already doing something that requires you pressing that key, then maybe someone snuck a Duel request in, you accepted without knowing, and that's how you wound up with someone beating on you. That's the only thing I can think of. Cause normally outside of Cyrodiil players cannot just up and start attacking you for no reason, there's no open world PvP in this game.

    If it were, the game would be a LOT more empty. You'd be fighting the same PvP diehards without end.

    Yes did that while trying to trade, once I accepted one duel from some who did not knew that he was doing as he did not fight or move out of AoE and died so probably halfway afk

    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    you said u had stolen goods, maybe u had a bounty or u opened a stolen box of goods near a guard or a npc while picking your flower near the shrine, most likely a guard saw u with a bounty sometimes u open a box and u forget if someone sees u u auto get a bounty and then u can get attack on sight by guards while u are getting a flower

    this happened to me several times

    Some people arent as poor as you and dont care if a console, ip, or creditcard here or there is banned.

    The person you quoted is right. Running unsigned code is very possible on current consoles.

    Even if this was the case there is obvious and visible mechanics. The banner dropping would be hard to miss.

    Maybe, just maybe, there’s exactly one player out there that ZOS is allowing to PK other players outside of pvp zones... and they only exercise this power when someone steals a node from them.
