Mods need to respond to this. This is clearly an exploit. The fact that it hasn't been patched already is ridiculous. And the fact that the Mods haven't said anything shows pretty clear neglect.

Because the lovely moderator ladies of this forums are the ones to fix exploits. How many of you in this thread have actually reported this exploit through the proper means?

Hint: Forum is not proper way of reporting bugs, cheaters, exploits.

Because the lovely moderators are the ones who communicate with the players. You understand that the actual devs are almost never the ones to actually respond to these posts don't you? They actually have important work to do, like create awesome things for this great game. Not respond to all of us. That's the mods job.

Hint: I've already reported this exploit through proper channels 3 times over the course of 3 weeks. Now I'm on the forums.

Seems sarcasm still doesn't work on the internet.

Good, maybe they'll do something about it then hopefully soon. Also the more people do the same instead of reporting on forums the more certain it is that they will notice it.

Seems it's Mods day off since all kinds of "FU I'm gone" threads are still open. Which means that also it will be more time before the Mods even notice this thread and then more time that they report it forward.

I heard about this Scorp grind in zone chat, as well as a few talking about it in Guild chat. I hate grinding, but wanted to know what it was all about. Even though I was VR14, I joined the grind group (there was a queue ffs).

I raked in so much gold, loot and Soul Gems I was amazed... forget the exp, which I wasn't getting (well, if rumours are true, I will get that exp when the Champ system arrives).

And when the Champ System does arrive, and people want to max our there champ points... where do you think most people will go?

Grinding kills these types of games imo. Sucks the fun right out of it, and if you don't do it, you'll be left behind.

Clean it up ZOS

TL;DR But how you want to fix grind? And why? If players enjoy playing like this why you want to punish them? I tried to grind once and it was so boring, I don't think that I will do it again. But if someone enjoy this play style - I don't care. And IMo you can't fix grind because there is nothing to fix. All you can - allow them to do it and to not disturb other players.

Would be amusing if the people harassing the players doing it got a temp ban to show them not to.

Hope this gets changed.

It's not a bug though.

The banking duplication was a bug, as you the items were not supposed to duplicate when withdrawn.

They've intentionally made it so so if you don't kill the adds first, the world boss re spawns.

Thanks for the reports on this, everyone. We're actively looking into a fix for this. In the meantime, we're going to close this thread since we have gathered all the details we need regarding what's being reported. Thank you!
