It is being reported on multiple Discords that PC players are receiving one month bans for the VSS chest exploit.
Can anyone verify this or is it just a rumor?

Harrdarrzarr✭✭✭that exploit is't even possible anymore, so don't count on it. You need to defeat at least one dragon to get to the chests. And those that can defeat the bosses won't bother with non-perfectedEdited by Harrdarrzarr on June 13, 2019 1:23PM7

✭✭✭✭✭The majority of players are not on the forums. I’d feel bad for any non forum player who joined a group in zone chat and the group told them not to fight anything. They could easily check to see if the player was ever on the forums though. I certainly couldn’t claim innocence with my thousands of posts."Get off my lawn!"1 -
Grandma✭✭✭✭✭Nah, they aren't. ZOS never made any kind of announcement about it or threatened any kind of action. People do this for city of ash all the time, so what's the difference? in the patch notes they basically just said "moving the chests so you have to beat a boss first" they never said "and banning everyone who opened too many chests without killing the bosses".GH / 3/04/2021 / Elemental Catalyst Necromancer15 -

I got randomly in a group, was my first time in sunspire. Noticed they skipped everything and looted chests only. I left.
I don't think they are that innocent if they keep doing this over and over again so I guess if zos ban someone, they are pretty sure it's heavily exploited. When that is said, it's lazy and poor design in the first place so idk I have no opinion other than I wont do it myself regardless exploit or not because 1: I dont want non perfect and 2: Its embarrasing stupid to want to run a vet trial without actually playing the game. Even skipping the mobs is pretty poor.PC, EU server, Ebonheart Pact

✭✭✭✭And why would farming chests be punished? How players can possibly know ZOS didn't want them to open those chests if you could just get to them walking and doing nothing?
Players were not using any kind of exploit, they were not using mementos, they were not going through invisible walls, nothing at all, so how is it an exploit by just walking to the chests?
And opening chests? Really? Why it's OK in CoA and why not in a trial? Because the sets are better? Is there an Official ZOS page/site where it says "this" set is OK to get it from a chest but "this one" is not?
So, "Anyone for CoA chests farm?" is OK but "Anyone for vSS chests farm?" is an offense?
ZOS just decided they don't want those chests to be easy obtainable, and so ZOS changed how they can be obtained. That's all.

Disturbed125✭✭✭I have to HIGHLY doubt this is the case. There was no difference in farming the chests in sunspire from farming the chests in any other dungeon. It even only gives imperfect gear which no one really cares about. Aside from that there was no communication that it was an exploit or even a problem from ZoS at any point. Just because they decided they didn't like people doing it and patched it out doesn't mean they're going punish people for it.[PC NA] -Chaos Riders-Flawless Conqueror - Boethia's Scythe - Mageslayer - Ophidian Overloard - Shehai Shatterer - Divayth Fyr's Conjugator - Voice of Reason - Dro'Mathra Destroyer - Blackrose Executioner - Bringer of Light - Extinguisher of Flames - Xalvakka's ScourgeTrifectasMountain God - Leave No Bone Unbroken - Apex Predator - Pure Lunacy - Depths Defier - Relentless Raider - The Unchained (1st NA / 2nd World) - Immortal Redeemer - Nature's Wrath - Defanged the Devourer - Tick Tock Tormentor - Gryphon Heart - Dawnbringer - Bane of Thorns - True Genius - GodSlayer - Privateer - Coral Caretaker0 -
crowfl56✭✭✭✭✭Look folks cheaters will cheat and the players that constantly cheat are low life's.
This game allows cheating in all area's and the cheaters will always post that its not a cheat.
Otherwise the peeps that defend what is happening are the problem.
SOOOOOO ban the cheaters, perma ban them , game doesn't need them.
BAN them

Watch out! You could have cheated without knowing it. Maybe you opened a chest in Craglorn without killing all world bosses first. So watch out!

✭✭Lol you can tell who in the comments exploited
It's not an exploit though. You kill mobs, you skip some and you have chests you loot them. You didn't go out of the map, you didn't glitch a boss, you went there fair and square.
You can tell who in the comments couldn't even get that right

✭Lel. Sounds like bs, but it was so obviously broken that I wouldn't blame ZOS for swinging the ban hammer.
Imagine getting banned over imperfect gear

msalvia✭✭✭✭Foremost, the chest run thing is not an "exploit." It's a design mistake, and people who looted chests did not employ any outside program to game the system, they just used the tools the game gave us. You can sneak around other dungeons, kill minimal bosses, and loot chests RIGHT NOW. It's not an exploit, despite what anyone's personal feelings and / or unsubstantiated rumors would have you believe.
Imagine the precedent this would set if "bans" happened for people doing something within the officially released game and which harms no one. How long til we get to "lifetime bans for all WW players, because we never intended you to be to pull competent dps by mashing light attack." Obviously that's a dumb example, but it's really not that different--both are dumb things that exist in the game that, despite being trash, aren't "exploits."

✭✭✭✭✭I'm not saying ZOS wouldn't do this, but that chest farm is in no way a TOS violation. It was unintended (as proven by the fix), but players did no actual exploiting to get to those chests. They simply walked past (or in some cases fought) the threats placed in front of them. It's on the devs that the dragon room had an open door on the other side of it that didn't require a fight to go through it. It got fixed because that clearly wasn't the intent, but while it was active, there was no exploiting.
If ZOS chooses to ban players for this, that is their choice, but nobody violated any rules that I'm aware of. That would send a poor message to the community if you can get banned without any violation whatsoever.7 -

✭So the exploit was........... opening an unlocked door.
In a game where widespread memory hacking takes place with little punishment, it would be pretty funny if people get banned for walking through open doors.I am currently worried for the future of ESO. Population seems like it is in free fall and the cancellation of the North America in-person gathering feels very much like pulling the plug. Kudos on fixing the in-game economy though. Clearly whatever gold shenanigans were happening the last couple years are fixed.11 -

Not even a door. A completely open archway.2
