Bad news for the Elder Scrolls Online and But good news for the Xbox One [UPDATE!]

[Unease Peanut]

Hi P34nut here attempting to bring you some news.

 

Bad news for the ESO lovers out there!

 

There has been a bug that allowed people to duplicate items and sell them later on.

This has thrown the economy of The Elder Scrolls Online completely off-balance.

Here is a video explaining you how.

 

 

Luckily the bug fix is on the way as is stated in the recent patch notes and mods are swinging around the banhmmer like they're whackin' moles.

Appearently the bug was so 'easy' that many players claim they did it once by accident.

Especially PvP is going to suffer the consequences. PvP will be dominated by playes who abused the bug.

Players are now discussing a complete server reset. This will negatively affect players who have already spent hours on this game.

But it will fix the economy.

What do you think should be done? Leave answers below.

 

UPDATE:

 

Bethesda ha now localised the bug and have come up with a fix.

Also they wanted to let know that they have a Zero tolerance policy for people who abused this bug. Meaning that everyone who abused the bug will be permanently banned.

Maintenance is now complete and the serves are back up .

 

 

 

Now for some more brighter news.

 

 

The Xbox One has surpassed 5 million shipments!

This is 60% higher than the shipments of Xbox 360's in the same time frame.

The PS 4 still has higher sales which are over 7 million right now. Please note that the Xbox One has 5 million shipments. So not all of them are sold!

But the Xbox One still has to release in a few countries. So the release in these countries might up the Xbox One sales a lot. What do you think?

 

 

Thanks for reading my first news article

Should I make more?

It reminds me of what happened to Runescapes economy after they made the Grand Exchange.

Wouldn't be Elder scrolls without exploits and bugs.

People got perma banned for the bug, js.

Well this sucks...

 

Luckily I am getting the PS4 edition so this bug should be ironed out by then.

 

 

This is to be expected form any MMO anyway because lets face it at launch MMOs are the buggiest things out there I just hope this all blows over soon and the economy of ESO gets back to normal.

PS4 was released in sooo many more countries than the Xbox One, which was released in a total of....11....countries.

 

it appears microsoft doesn't want their cash lol

 

Also that picture of the Xbox One box? Looks......very.......distorted.

 

 

 

As for TES:O's economic crash, on one hand it's a bit unfair to newbs, but on the other hand, fairness isn't exactly a thing in MMORPG's where people have already hit the level cap and become veterans, using vet gear and being vets in PvP. Zenimax Online Studios had a bug in the game. People simply did what was possible in-game, and they get banned for it? Not exactly nice in my books. Looks like a money-grab to me.
