Couldn't this result in an account ban? I mean, the player is taking advantage of something. But it's not a bug or an exploit, right?

Looks like a great addon, but a little worrying... lol

    My opinion: It's nothing that should be abused by players as it should not be able to repeat the tutorial quests to easily level the system, thats clearly nothing that ZOs intended it to work.

    But: If you want an official "do" or "Don't", ask ZOs.
    They will eitther fix this then, or make it impossible to be used liek this, or leave it open -> And in that case they cannot blame players doing it, as it's not a real bug (my opinion. maybe a gray zone).

    If you fear you could risk a ban, leave it and don't use it!
    That's how I usually do it, with common sense.

    as far as i can tell the addon is just "speeding up" something you can already do in game without the addon, this just basically automates several of the steps like the ones for doing daily crafting writs or master writs

    i would agree that if you think its questionable, just dont do it, as this is likely considered "grey area" (granted you could do this same process without the addon although slower and could still potentially risk a ban if zos determines its unintended)

    i have my main house (grand topal hideaway) listed in the housing tours, it has multiple target dummies, scribing altar, and grandmaster stations (in progress being filled out), as well as almost every antiquity furnishing on display to preview them

    feel free to stop by and use the facilities

    yeah, for me, the addon is not exactly the problem, but the quest being used in this way. I looked at this addon and thought, "hey, that looks cool!" Then I thought twice and "wait, could this not be considered an exploit?"
