    *Edit DC contacts say the EP dude is farming friends and probably his 2nd account too.

    Ah LoL they moved not removed the edit button. DC Emp also did the same apparently in Shor. This friend farming is very hard to police though for ZoS.

    Any ideas on how to combat it coz with D-Tick buff its even more serious ?

    That’s called an offensive tick, friend, regardless of what your addon called it in the chat box. I could ping @Ghostbane to explain why it does that, but to be honest, I’d rather him just post some chicken little memes.

    Edit: Sometimes I’m a bad speller.

    I'm still tinkering with the API myself to give more informative announcements to where your AP is coming from in all this buffet mess.

    What we need are snapshots of all 3 factions leaderboards at the same time, to understand the bigger picture.
    Was there someone on DC / AD with an equally huge lead above everyone else at the same time?

    No. Both DC and AD leaderboard had reasonable differences between each player in top 10. Only one EP hero at that point was "above the average".

    @Feanor yeah VAS HM is hard and i get why do you try to put them into the same level of so called exploit, but in Cyrodiil... ZOs is abandoned PVP long ago... wel at least what is connected with Cyrodiil. we dont knwo for sure it was intended from ZOS to have a bit more faster way to achiev the title or not. and i doupt we can hear any feedback from them because it is related to PVP and we all know @ZOS is sheeeting down Cyrodiil from 1000000km above.

    BTW i just recognised your name :D Feanor <3 Who created the Silmarillions :) Oh i almost forgot, have you sent your application from through Mandos to get released from hes halls? Or my fellow Valar dont want to hear about it now?

    Oh stop molesting Galadriel for her 3 hair piece okay? :D she wont give it to you XD

    What we can be sure is that the way certain people are doing it is definietly not intended and abuses the system.

    Idk what the OP is referring to but it sounds insanely broken lol.

    Rofl this person doesnt even understand that the update has been submitted already and is awaiting the 5th to go live...... theres no turning back now for you console people. This exploit will go live on your system and theres nothing anyone can do lol

    I mean MAYBE zos could make a thread and sticky it, but that doesnt work. Or maybe they could design a in game notice of known bannable exploits players read when logging in. But that might take 7 months to design.

    It's excatly opposite. If You want most AP You can get then You should avoid real PvPing right now. You can get 10x more AP for free then people who actually fight in Cyro.

    Leeches get less now, assume they do nothing but show up or sit around.

    PvDoor makes the same amount of AP it did before.

    Successfully defending keeps and resources makes a ton more AP than it did before and we can still play because we dont have to sit at a keep to get the tick.

    But all of that doesnt have much to do with the problem the thread is pointing out: that you can unfairly make tons of AP by "defending" against your cross-faction friends and generating ticks.

    I think You dont understand that this update will be edited before releasing on consoles since PC in the meantime got 2 patches which also needs to be included for consoles.

    I doubt it was edited too much. ZoS always claims that their patches must go through a 1-2 week "approval process" by Microsoft before going live on Xbox meaning that the final product was submitted at least 1 week ago. Not much will change from PC's original release and ours. We usually get all the bugs PC first had along with new ones of our own. The AP exploit will be in the console update for certain.

    This has been going on for the longest. It won't ever stop unless ZOS puts gamemasters in Cyrodiil to monitor players.

    Could it be instead that ZOS actually wants alliances to capture and hold territory, since the idea behind this game is the conquest and occupation of Cyrodiil and the Inperial City? So rewarding the defense of a keep is, ya know, part of the idea here all along?

    How does one message zos directly. I figured out the main reason for this bug and I want to share it with them or show it to them. I still have more to test on how the points add up but I know why it happens.
