ZOS do nothing with infinite crown crates/endeavors/login rewards

Some players used the bugs yesterday to reset crown crates/endeavors/login rewards by changing zone.
They are able to get multiple crown gems/items, seals of endeavors and login rewards by exploiting the bugs.
And they still have it after the maintenance because of no rollbacks.
ZOS don't have the technique to set those things back to normal? Or they won't bother to do it?
So is it okay to exploit the bugs without any punishment?
That's unacceptable.

So I guess they'll have them checked out in the next couple of days. They probably wanted the servers back online asap and take care of the exploiters later on.TherealHämähäkki8 -

✭✭✭✭✭They said that people who clearly abused it will not get to keep the items, but people they think may not have realized and got a couple extra items can keep it in the thread Gina posted. I would expect the people who exploited the most to end up banned. But, they haven't given any additional update on that as far as I know.ZOS_GinaBruno wrote: »Update: We are wrapping up maintenance now and the PC NA and EU megaservers will be reopening momentarily.

Sometimes it's best that way.
I was playing just before they took the servers down the first time, but I was busy with non-gaming things when they brought the servers back online and encountered the issues and took them back down again, so I missed the short time the servers were up, in between.
I'm glad I did, after reading about problems the people have had, who played during that time.Edited by Grizzbeorn on September 8, 2022 7:23AM0 -

✭It's disheartening how people care more about ZOS not punishing people who hurt no one than about the fact that there seems to be no compensation for that mess. Don't give things to me, I want you to take things from others! Ew.

OnnuK✭✭✭✭with all due respect this is UNACCAPTABLE @ZOS_GinaBruno. How do you define "abusive one-off situations"? I thought ZOS is strict on exploit/abuse situations. So if there is a similar glitch in the future we are all OK for non-abusive exploit? Please check all logs manually for the glitch, this will be difficult but the devs should be responsible. It is unfair and lowers the trust.

Must stop exploiting. I agree with that.
But ZOS was also very careless. Leaving such a dangerous bug and update new patch is
very bad behavior as professional game developers.
Some player did exploit intentionally yesterday, but it was not player's fault.
Developer did such a stupid mistake.
ZOS should suffer something punishment for their "education". Not for the players.
Must leave extra reward for the player as developer's apologize.My playing time Mon-Friday UTC13:00-16:00 [PC-NA] CP over2000 now.

So he will get a ban probably. ZOS wrote: "you can keep any items you had acquired (outside of any abusive one-off situations)" - so they won't punish people just for geting things 2-4 times (some people may don't even know what's going on and they exploited it accidentaly), but if someone used exploit dozen of times in short time, then well - situation is quite clear.i saw a guy showing off that he's got thousands of Chromium PlatingPC | EU | DC |Stam Dk Breton5 -

✭In today, I've already used experience point bonus scrolls which I got it from bug.
Well, I didn't do exploiting intentionally yesterday. But bug program keep
giving extra reward to me. I noticed it was bug, but I couldn't stop it by myself.
So, I report it.
But still, several piece of extra reward keep remaining in my inventory.
What should I do? Can I use it? Or should I destroy it?
Now, this game become very chaotic contents. (/._.\);
I can't understand what is guilty anymore.Edited by AvalonRanger on September 8, 2022 10:18AMMy playing time Mon-Friday UTC13:00-16:00 [PC-NA] CP over2000 now.

✭✭✭This is nothing new. Remember when Elsweyr first came out and there was a bug allowing people who didn’t purchase the chapter to unlock the necro class? People who did that kept the class too. Unless people are blatantly showing off that they’ve exploited, usually they’re allowed to continue on without consequences or a removal of items.PC/NAMountain God | Leave No Bone Unbroken | Apex Predator | Pure Lunacy | Depths Defier | No Rest for the Wicked | In Defiance of DeathMeet my characters :

my 2¢
So you want them to ban all the players that logged in during the time those bugs occured?
Because it wasn't even possible to play the game and not "exploit a bug" at that time. And you could only notice that something is wrong after it already happened, or for most cases even not realise it.
The way Gina described it to be handled is the best way possible IMHO.

No body says ban the logged in players during that period (yes it was posible to play game and change zones). They should check the database logs, and hand pick the people who abused the exploit and yes ban them! You can accidentally do one or two or may be 10, but after that, you know what you are doing, am I right?PC/EU @onnuk, Guild: ANADOLU "|H1:guild:29269|hAnadolu|h"4 -

✭✭✭I was wondering how so many people (who were complaining that they had lost so many mats) had time to accumulate so much before the servers went down again.
So they were using an exploit...
I was only away from my computer for a little over an hour, and when I had to step away the servers hadn't even been brought back up yet, and when I returned they had already been taken down again.
And I saw multiple people complaining about thousands of mats gained in that short span of time that they lost when the servers came back up later.
Huh.
