Funny because I'm dealing with the same problem on red dead. Being called a cheater when I don't cheat. I have my builds surrounding my deadeyes and mainly I'm running a DPS build and the ones who lose to me badly instead of getting a gg it's "how much did that account cost?" Or "you're cheating." Or even "reported for cheating." I fought against cheaters before especially the ones with scripts, all that did for me was improve my PVP skills even greater. If they couldn't even barely stand going up against me. Then when they finally actually fight a cheater they will get torn apart. It's not our fault some of these players suck at PVP but then yet they wanted to start the fight between us decent players just to get their butts kicked. Hell even someone on discord said that I was using aim bot but the only aiming I was using was the in game aiming through the options menu where I set my settings to my liking. Other than that. That's it. I have no special remote, no special device and no special settings for my console. But hey my only advice that I can give them is "find out which deadeye works for you and make a build out of it." For someone who would rather start a fight with me I wouldn't help become better. Unless if would ask me to help them fight better in a spar before they pulled the trigger.

It's weird all the bot farmers that offencive names is their focus.

I fully agree with what you said in the video.

Only a cheater would make a video like this.

In the time I played pvp as main content, I saw very less "cheaters". Like 99% you are just not that good and thats why you are dead. But some dudes can really breaking the game with dodging and blocking to the exact perfect time every ult from 10 players are droped. That was the hardest "cheat" I saw so far, 2 dudes surviving every ult they got hit by and doing good combs. It was clearly not possible to dodge or block all ults, but they managed it to have 100% of ult blocking or dodging from up to 10 players. Beside that I didnt noticed any cheaters in the game so far.

This is what happens when AI reviews everything people do. And here's what google has been doing with AI. According to Statista google removed 4.8 billion comments in 2020, 4.5 billion in 2021, 4.3 billion in 2022, and 2.4 billion in the first 3 quarters of 2023. Welcome to the future. Ain't it great?

drop the @ drop the @ 🤣

These ballgroup playstyles already found their way into 8v8 BG's lol

These comments really makes me wonder if this ban policy needs to change. We have people in the comments complaining about this policy... when they are impersonating staff, stealing from others, or other incredibly stupid actions that would get you banned in any game. It is starting to seem more and more like the issue is the community is very toxic. Criticism shouldn't be banned, but the community has shown it has a large incredibly stupid portion that needs to be heavily monitored. It sucks.

Yup you're right I've seen some guys that we hit them but there health remains the same .

There ARE cheats in Battlegrounds One that is common is when a group joins battlegrounds and finds themselves having 3 of the group on one team and 2 on another team !¬ They run around in a group splattering folk ! It is only when you stand back and watch that you realise WHY you keep getting beat so fast ! Instead of being 3 teams of 4 you can often find even your allies on your team will not help you ! Therefore you go into a fight expecting 4vs 4 and what you get is you vs 5 or 6 ¬ and your team mates standing back watching ! ... Players still hide inside certain walls or rocks and rain arrows or spells on you as you try and find them ! There are other cheats too ! .. BUT THE CHEATERS SIMPLY JUSTIFY BY CALLING ANYONE WHO SAYS CHEAT A POOR PLAYER AND SORE LOSER ! .... PS .. I AM A POOR PVP PLAYER ! AND I KNOW IT ! I won't get good cos i only play to get the perks ! As soon as i get the perks on the character i will never enter PVP again with said character ! The ganks and cheats make PVP something i DO NOT WANT TO DO .. I have no axe to grind ! I DO NOT REPORT PLAYERS ! Others may enjoy playing that way so good luck to them ! I however do not !

It's funny because when me and my brother first got the game, his @name was @Ligmaballs122. We log off, and I log on one day to see a @PinkRhino122 in my friendslist, I read the toon name and well enough... They renamed his account without sending any warning xD

This is such a great video and highlights the massive player problem we have in eso. I play on NA and it seems like these issues are over on EU too, hope zenimax starts taking their own policy’s seriously

I think the problem stems from FPS shooters, there is what can best be described as an epidemic of cheaters in FPS shooters and it’s not unrealistic in games like escape from Tarkov / CS that you die more to cheaters than legit players, it’s not unrealistic that more than 60% of 9 person matches have at least 1 cheater, using a little binomial math this suggest that around 10% of players are cheating. People then come to ESO, die without knowing how, and just assumes that things are the same. In ESO cheating is almost always gold related (dupe gltiches, bot farming). People don't care enough to cheat in ESO, which is also a little sad in itself.

Welcome to current day kids, just remember you all voted for this

I bet all know a name of merchant at the Vivec City Writ Place: Jeeba-Noo, but you might not know that in Slavic languages its mean... Being f*****cked ^^

I got 72 hours eso prison for saying "Get the fk off my siege you scrub"..😂 it wasn't even a full swear word.

whats her outfit 1:14 ? i only recognize the knight of the circle shoulders.

This happens in the forums too. Not for names, but just for basic speech. I got perma banned for baiting when posting a discussion about a game balance topic (there was no bait, and they listed no specific instance in the ban, and my appeal was bot rejected). You can't really do anything about it; Zos normally has moderators that edit your post and remove what they think is "bait," but due to it being really vague, critique can be taken that way. Didn't even realize you could get banned for it due to the normal moderation of the forums, let alone permanently banned. I wouldn't have participated in the forums if I knew you could get banned for posting something he devs don't like, probably would have stuck to the eso reddit instead. I'm not banned in the main game fyi, just the forums, but dedicating time to posting topics to get banned, I wouldn't have posted in that forum since it's not really a forum, but a echo chamber at that point.

They don't have an A.I to ban people, someone reported them for their name or something else to be petty and ESOs customer service is brilliant, quick responses and have always been super supportive whenever I've needed to get in touch with them.

I’ve heard from people that they know for a fact, people are indeed cheating and I’m not talking about people who just randomly accuse players who are better than them. These players were very good and there friends have specifically said they do use some sort of cheat. However the most common from what I’ve heard is people using all mundus stones and using PvE and overland buffs in cyrodiil. But take everything I say with a pinch of salt because I have no absolute proof of it. All I can say is that the best players won’t use cheats if they exist

There our Beta testers in every system still getting a benefit still collecting data and feedback for the devs. Bans work in a similar ways as well certain people have weight in the report!

one i know was banned for about a year and a half for a card game exploit which was more a bug when new, checking mail bag then accepting made a victory

I have been a positive, peaceful member of the ESO community for 6 years. Several months ago, I got permanently banned because of my character name "Picks on Small Children". I had this name for 4 years with no complaint, then all of the sudden it was deemed so offensive that I could never play again. No warning, no request to change my name to avoid such a penalty. Just boom - done.

IKR! I got banned permanently for having the name 'Inclap Dat Azz Cuz' when it's a play on Incapacitating strike. And I've seen WAY crazier names jus pass by.

My guess (without any real data) is that a new generation of young people have been hired as part of the ZOS report review team - and they are more woke and less tolerant than any previous generation. Some reports are likely also being submitted by new, younger gen players with the same issue, although it is quite possible that reporting is being used a backdoor method of destroying PvP opponents, as discussed in this video. I still suspect that most of the offenses are being reported and bans given out by young women who have neither a sense of humor nor proportion. Interestingly, the dynamics are the same in any real-world social or legal system that allows anonymous reporting of offenses - i.e. the reporting system is very often and quickly abused to harass and destroy other people for personal and often petty revenge reasons. Some sort of accountability system is probably necessary, e.g. any person who reports more than 3 other players should themselves be banned for causing a toxic game environment.

holy shit so fly hack in cyro is real i came across one before and i thought i was just lagging

When you get death threats and threats against your kids you know there is something wrong. Perhaps it’s the game not the players that make it toxic.

Crazy they ban such miniscule things in a game about intense conflicts, fighting, 'deleting' characters, dark/dirty npc dialogue. Youd think with its dwindled player population theyd be more cautious banning people.

I've seen the cheat that drops a player below the ground when their HP hits ~21%, then pops them back up above the ground after they've healed up to ~51%, only twice this past year. Mind you, I'm in Cyro every day for at least two hours during the prime-time window, so my exposure is higher than the average ESO player's is. And this is supposedly one of the easier cheats to get working with 3rd party paid software (according to the seller); yet you almost never see anyone actually use it. Probably because it is painfully obvious that it's being used. The common-place "cheats" (if ZOS even bothers to think of them as cheats anymore) are scripts which run alongside the game and watch for certain changes on your screen (like a debuff icon) and automatically send keyboard input which would counter whatever the negative effect is (roll or break free, usually). These, for-sure, exist; by virtue of the fact that anyone with minimal coding know-how can create one. And the fact that ZOS effectively facilitates their creation, by allowing addons to display status effects on the screen using icons of the addon author's choosing. ZOS could make certain changes, which would have almost no impact on most addons, that could stop this sort of thing from being possible. But, like every other aspect of the game that isn't shop-related, they don't give a shit. Then there are those using auto-weaving scripts; which ZOS can literally do nothing about, even if they did care; apart from making anims impossible to cancel. And if ZOS has no way of detecting this sort of thing, surely players can't either. Jumping excessively is an exploit. It causes de-syncing, which means abilities which require a proximity-check or careful aiming are less likely to see the jumping player as a potential target. Again though, this isn't named as being an exploit by ZOS themselves; probably because that would mean admitting some degree of fault on their end. It's effectively exploiting the shitty state of the game. The solution is to simply not play shitty games like ESO. Regardless of whether someone is cheating or not, messaging them in-game serves no purpose. In fact, if you really do believe you're witnessing cheating, it's probably better if you DON'T message the player in question. Then, when you (and probably others too) report them, ZOS could maybe catch them in the act; or at least find more evidence of it. But if a dozen players tell them in messages that they can see their cheats, they'll just take that as constructive criticism and refine their cheats so that you're less likely to see evidence of them.

I hate lame bans but I also hate overtly stupid and/or lazy character names so I'm torn on this one. I may or may not shed any tears for fallen warriors such as the mighty Plzdpntreportme or Oldsalteebaalz the Wise. May they rest in peace.

Wake me when this game isnt shit anymore so i can reinstall

Meanwhile Argonain Shaman to son: "You cannota heal when you not a doctahh."

The dude blasting Bible verses needs to be banned. Keep a fake ass religion off the game

Witnessed a ban over a joke towards a crown buyer. Jokingly wanting to use the buyers own payment to buy it themselves. Silly. Perma ban, no warnings, nothing. 9500 hours down the drain. Jeez...

I think what's ruining Cyrodill is this practice of "Farming" newer or inexperienced players. I think that's what's driving new players away from PvP in general. Imagine logging in and getting out of the base only the be killed instantly. So perhaps you try later in the day or another day completely, and it still happens. You try stealth, but they have detection potions. As a new player what's the point of playing Cyrodill when you're just being "farmed" by a guild of players. I know it's not cheating, and I don't accuse folks doing that of cheating. But if the goal is to get newer players into Cyrodill, this kills that instantly. Once a player has a sour taste of that part of the game, it's near impossible to bring them back.

I could think of a few friends to send this to.. but for the sake of friendship I'll let sleeping dogs lie lol.. played eso since launch, pvp main for probably like 6 or 7 years now.. I feel like if I really sat down and thought about it I could probably count on one hand the amount of times I honestly suspected another player of "cheating"... now EXPLOITING... that's different lol there's a lot of exploiters that cheese broken tactics like when rush of agony caused reliable desync.. but tbh there's just people out there that are better than you, better than me. Accept it. I'm sure your good at some things in life, pvp in eso just isn't one of them...what will suck is the day our community loses a skilled player to a ban because some fucking zergling can't just accept that they aren't good at pvp again I've pvp'd for many years so don't @ me saying you've seen cheaters because you most likely haven't, your just bad 🤷‍♂️. And on the note of kiting.. call it unsportsmanlike, call it dishonorable, call it whatever you like while you chase down a single player with your 4-5 friends only to get skull fucked with an ult combo when you turn that last corner in the tower. 😉

Well, for me it's a call to "pet" every woke person until they squeak out. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I have never received a warning. The only time I received consequences, I got a 3 day ban once for telling a warden to move his "fat bear" out of the way of the turn-ins (this was before we had the option to hide pets). I've quit a while back, so I can only imagine how quick I would have been banned with the way they are currently moderating if I were still playing.

Lets hope i dont get banned for having the name Ardrèl Fenrisúlfr. Dont want to upset anyone for mixing elder scrolls elf lore and norse Mythology

Just before anyone warms themselves up to this, I heard a rumor that they are adding A.I into the game system to monitor every word you type or say in voice chat which could also get you banned. Even if its the usual jokes friends share among each other. Be careful

I've been away from the game for about a year. What's all this about monitoring chat and voice channels? Is Discord monitored too?

I think its just a reflection of whats going on in the real world, people are being jailed for saying hurty words on social media, that will be next you wont just lose your account the police will show up at your door and drag you off in cuffs coz some woke A.I got triggered by your character name.

zos got so sensitive with names i came back from a 3 year break and within 2 weeks i got forced name changes for 3 of my characters - 2 of which i had for OVER 4 years also youtube HAS to be syping on my discord or something litteraly yesteday i talked to a memember of prism who told me about that "dont report me " dude being banned and now i get a recommandation for that video

I like the little dig at Hoarcrux lol

Oh i was forced to change 3 toon names i had😅! Horny Santa, Doctor Pimpslap & Necrophilia Corpselover... Its absolutly silly...

I never got banned for a character name but I have had name change token given to me by ZOS for ( Queafinthenight ) back in 2020.

Multi band for new players and people who haven’t done anything wrong yet there’s thousands of bot accounts that have ruined the market and make ez farming zones impossible

Except in BGs I've seen sorcs that can insta-heal when they have no such skill, even with pet heal... This is BGs which are no CP?? call me a complainer irdc, I've played a long time I know when something is just utter BS, not necessarily a cheat but a mandate of exploits to succeed ..corny af. And as every nightblade knows, when you're "detected" with a pot, you pop out of invisibility, even on your own screen. A major complaint in my mind is people are killing me while I'm still very invisible. Like they're just getting incredibly lucky "randomly" casting LAs into the wind? I've had people lock onto me and literally bend lightning staff LAs around pillars while I'm trying to break LOS, while this should* be impossible, apparently it's not. (Insert Cronus accusation here) And let's not forget the biggest complaint of all: the fact that lag and rubberbanding favors a VERY specific combination/playstyle and severely limits diverse play entirely. If you're not running a specific combo in a specific order, with precise timing & no lag, you're f*cked. But the guy who's miraculously not lagging manages to get a combo off and hits you with (quite literally) 5-6 abilities at once. This is not a "git gud" situation, this is a "BS game where people rigorously and religiously exploit rubberbanding and lag" situation.. played this game for years and I just don't have the time anymore to put into studying a slew of combos every time ZOS decides nightblades need another nerf 😂😂 because godmode templars and wardens aren't the issue, or sorcs being able to streak in, drop a combo, and streak away in an instant. Not having to use the stamina-cost-heavy stampede must be glorious. No, it's our measly 3 second stealth that's always the problem 🤦🏻‍♂️ RIP ESO pvp..
