Is smurfing against ToS?

Ok so apparently its possible to make any gear, any level now, due to how the reconstruction work. Its simple, research a bunch of stuff on your low level alt, and then reonstruct (i.e malacath, crimson, insert proc set here) gold it out at level 26 (highest level, with the highest mitigation cap) and dominate and bully below 50 campaigns. I have never once, considered this, never once tried it. i havent logged into below 50 since 2016 when i was new. But i have heard that even in pre markarth, that this was a real problem. and experienced people were golding out strong gear to feel like gods when fighting against a group of unorganized, random overland gear dropped noobies. proc sets are already super strong in no cp, i can only imagine how strong a 3 man warden group will be when golding out the games strongest builds in below 50.
Im not sure how anyone can find this funny, it ruins the experience of so many new players, and it simply accomplishes nothing. but the reason for this post. Is this even legal? @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom is this type of behaviour allowed?
if anything, immediatly remove the possibility to make mythics, monster sets and any dungeon/trial set available for any level. it should not be possible, and it sure as hell is not healthy for the game, or the pvp community at all

Ok, what a relief. I only heard its possible, but never tried it myself, so i hope you are right. but still, the problem is that even without malacath, crimson + for example unfathom is incredibly strong, and can be abused by experienced players pretty easily1 -

You can pick up an item and bind/deconstruct for the "sticker book" at any level.
You can only reconstruct an item from the "sticker book" at CP160 (the gear cap) ... Monster Sets included.

Interesting. That would seem out of line with the developers' intentions, as they made non-perfected Vateshran Hollows & Black Rose weapons unavailable below level 50 "to be consistent with our other arenas." If the gear doesn't drop below 50, it shouldn't be able to be made below 50.

MercilessnVexed✭✭✭✭Pfft. This isn't new. If you've got anyone who can make you gear at those levels (or if you're bound and determined to do it yourself, which is completely possible) then it is done. Many MANY people make the sets they "should be" using throughout their leveling. You can do it too, if you work on your crafting. It honestly isn't a problem, and it is a sensible thing to do if you're going into PvP against other people. You want the most advantages you can get, and going in rag-tag with just any ol' gear you find isn't an option - nor interesting idea - for everyone.0 -

Absolutely. If you do gold out gear to farm people in under 50, you're probably scared of regular BGs/Open world where you'd be folded up in half a second.

I am pretty sure that you can get the normal versions of the weapons on low level though. At least you can enter MA, DSA, BRP and probly Vateshraan as well on lowbies.
So you could just get those weapons for nonvet by farming them from the arenas, but i dont think that you can reconstruct them on low level.Taleof2Cities wrote: »Mythics and monster sets cannot be made below gear cap. Same with arena ability-altering weapons.

I can tell you that that is actually mostly incorrect. Most nonvet players are also playing some vet PvP and at least the decent ones are not getting "folded up in half a second".
The main problem about vet PvP is that its just not fun to either go into a cyro where you can hardly do anything at all due to lag or go into a BG where half the people run proc sets that are absolutely busted atm.PC/EU, StamSorc Main0 -

My first bg on lvl 10 1 bar mag DK with lvl 4 training gear I went 38-0.
There 2 WW twinks on the other teams but I managed to avoid them.

Ellimist_Entreri✭✭✭Please explain in more detail how playing with good gear on a low char could be against ToS... ? What specific portion do you feel is being violated?
EDIT for clarification - I smurf-Tank pve dungeon content regularly for fun, sometimes with trash (read trash as below champ 160 non complete sets) gear though I usually at least make sure it is correct weights for tanking - this information will make that much more enjoyable for me, thank you! If the items aren't intended to be recreated at below 160 that should certainly be fixed, however that is the only potential issue I actually see in this thread.
EDIT 2 - Just checked, can't make monster helms on my lvl 23 char, shows them at champ 10 min - so that's one thing you don't have to worry about! (I was really wanting a lvl 10 heavy gold Engine Guardian helm too lmao ^_^)Edited by Ellimist_Entreri on November 14, 2020 10:36PM1 -

✭✭Just to be clear there already existed, prior to the sticker book, and still exist regional and elite gear vendors in cyrodiil - all you need(ed) to do is spend some ap and you could have essentially any gear you wanted/want, with a little rng luck, at any level (the gear level that dropped/drops, like the sticker book, is at the level of character opening the box).
So, in theory, you could have, for example, vicious death set at 10th level if you wanted before sticker books. Then transmute to trait(s) required (under previous system).
In other words, this is no more a 'problem' now than it ever was, if it ever was.
And no, I don't play <50th other than passing through while levelling characters to obtain alliance skill lines and skyshards.
edit: incidentally, spending ap at these vendors is how many players are updating their sticker books; its also a decent way to get, for example mother's sorrow inferno staves.Edited by deleted221106-002999 on November 14, 2020 2:27PM8 -

✭Nothing is possible that wasnt possible before.
People already were able to get lvl 26 gold gear, even dungeon sets if you were tryhard enough.
People also had arena weapons, monster helmets and shoulders before. Thats sadly not part of the sticker book. So people now cant reproduce what some other people already have.0 -

If you can get low-level non-perfected weapons from Black Rose and Vateshran Hollows right now, that’s a bug and therefore farming them would probably constitute an exploit. The patch notes from 6.2.3 that I linked are explicit that the “non-perfected” weapons should not be dropping from those arenas below level 50. (I would presume they mean below level 50 cp 160, but I haven’t tested it.)
They stopped Maelstrom and Dragonstar non-perfected weapons from dropping under level 50 with Greymoor:
