I know of someone who payed another person to log into their profile and complete vet maelstrom for them. Should I report this person? If so, how do I report this person?

    How can it be proved? It's legal to log in from different locations. So just having a different ip address is not enough.

    And on ps4, people "share play" which is an advertise feature for the ps4. As cr@p as it is, it can not be helped.

    Why do you even care?

    it may be cheating- but its not a competitive e sport- its just a game- this isnt botting. ever play a game with your girlfriend- and she cant pass a stage and she passes you the controller so you can do it for her?
    i dont think its the best thing- cos look it does give access to something that is better earned- but at the same time- im not going to get soemone banned over it either.

    No, you shouldn't report that person. The fact that you even think you need too, then come on a forum and ask! [Edit]

    1. You probably can't prove it.
    2. You should feel sad for them.
    Just because you don't like the way something is doesn't necessarily make it wrong...

    It doesn't impact the game or other players in any way. Who cares? Let it go.
    Report botting. This isn't botting.

    ^This, at least on the ps4 this was a selling point to be able to let other players jump into your game and help out with difficult stuff.
    With Share Play, you can even jump into a game to assist a friend. For example, if there is part of a game that you can't quite finish, you can invite a friend to take over your controls. Like handing over the controller to a friend on your couch, your screen will be shared as your friend gets through the part of the game that has been giving you trouble—can't get past that part in The Last of Us: Remastered when you're hanging upside down?

    Technically you probably should because it's a case of breach of ToS in two ways.

    The first is account sharing, which whilst there is the case someone could log in whilst on holiday, depending on the geographical locations of the two IP's use it may not be possible for someone to travel those two locations within that time frame.
    This isn't something MMO games go out to hunt though, normally the rule is to protect you from account theft or bans when the person you shared with does something wrong.
    As an example if the person who was paid to run vMA went and sold a stack of gold and got caught, ZOS might look at accounts connected to that IP then flag the other persons and extend the ban there. This happens in other MMO games I have played and is one reason they say don't account share.

    The second issue we have here is "paid" if it was gold then eh, not much can be said. However if it's real money then this also moved into the realms of RMT. Which is the scum that undermines MMO games.

    As for if you should report the person, that's your choice alone, however if you do it's best to just send a message to the devs or community team (Jess/Gina) and then leave the issue be.
