Hello! I am Degonyte and I talk about video games. My main focus is content pertaining to the PVP portion of Elder Scrolls Online, but once in a while I'll publish a video on another game that really grabs my attention.
Whatever the topic at hand is, you can rest assured that my content is original, well-researched and high-effort. I write the scripts, create the thumbnails, do the voice-over, record the footage and do all the editing. I do not use AI in any aspect of my work.

The Ban Policy In Elder Scrolls Online NEEDS To Change
Been working on this video for quite a while. I hope it is seen for what it is; a point of criticism of a game I love, and not an attack from a jaded veteran player.
My voice might sound a bit rough in places because I had a slight cold as well as some orthodontic issues during the recording process.

ESO's Real 'Cheating' Problem Is Not What You Think
Переглядів 17 тис.2 місяці тому
In my many years in Elder Scrolls Online's PVP, I've run into a handful of cheaters. However, the day-to-day problem with ESO's 'cheating' is much more stupid: whiney whispers from players who can't stand losing. Let me take you on a journey through Cyrodiil's more twisted minds.

Every time someone says im cheating it means im doing something right
I really love what you said. It’s the most Terrifying, horrible part of playing ESO. It’s almost like a fanatical witchhunt in which we live in Salem. And anyone who accuses you have power over you. I have never cheated and I played from day one and I’ve seen lots and lots of cheating, exploits, etc. and it’s terrible, but all games have it.
SHARE THIS
I completely agree, Zos is losing customers due to their wokeness, im on a final permanent warning over having pvp char name that was Letz Have ABaby
It's even more frightening to know that if enough salt comes together, they can all spam report a player and likely get them suspended or banned due to ZOS's shoddy at best support team. It would be a benefit for the entire community if people stopped sending in false reports for silly things like hackusating so that the support team could focus in on actual rulebreakers/obvious report targeting instead of having to sift through little johnny's hackusations.
ZOS has become woke as fuck. I was typing in reply to a zone convo that was happening in regard to ww1 and ww2, and some dude was talking about Hitler and that he had done good things, which was when i replied "Yes, you are right, Hitler did do good things but that doesn't make him not an evil piece of shit, the negative outweighs the good". then zinimax somehow snuffs me out, and hits me with a final warning (my previous char name was Lets make a baby "for pvp " which i also got warned for. so now if i step out of line in anyway shape or form zinimax staff/not automated has advised me il be permanently banned for their platform, So i unfriended everyone, and i dont talk in zone or in any chat anymore and have learnt to go solo. it sucks, but iv spent too much money on the game to risk anything.
It's the auto dodge that pisses me off. Also cross healing is op lol. Ball groups are way to good.
Congratulations on your amazing video, sir. Extremely impressive commitment and passion for the genre as well as great writing and historical knowledge. Excellent work and much appreciated, merits multiple watches for the density and quality of content alone.
I got banned for making a guild called “Glory Hole”
the number of people who couldnt comprehend how a psijic weapon and incap could hit at the same time was mind blowing
There are people who've been playing Cyrodiil since launch but still don't know what a delayed burst is.
Found the Dopefish
its insane how the industry gets away with merely selling the concept of you having any of their products. if one were to write an honest summary of companies like zos ea and ubisoft youd be censored and banned into the void lmfao

I don't know what's worse... The fact that the devs are so quick to ban players, or the fact that this game is full of snowflakes who take pleasure in reporting such silly things to the devs, and enjoy being snitches.
Great video and explanations. I am building this now as i play in Cyrodiil mostly. What is the addon in the conclusion section that shows team members healing and damage output ?
I'm in support of harsher penalties for toxic players in cyrodiil. So sick of players who can't handle being killed that want to send hate mail about your build or T bag you when they get revenge just because it hurt their ego. I can be killed by the same player 5 times but when i finally get him back i either get tageted and t bagged or a whisper calling me trash or saying I'm crutching with a broken build etc.
There is virtually no risk for a new player to get a cheat threat. The 1337 gankers don't let them alive long enough to even try to kill anyone. That, I would say is a problem actually.
Only positive things with sucking at PvP. I never get accused of cheating. 😛
Ball groups suck. Overbuffed due to group buffs. Many people don't group with support armor especially newer players. PVP becomes one sided and ball groups just runaround with really no pvp happening. Ball groups just run over the other players. Ball group pvp is unbalanced. I'd like to see no support armor in pvp. Then players can rely more on their own skill. I would not be opposed to Ball groups having their own campaign.
Eso is completely overrun with cheaters and so many ppl are in denial of it. Just a couple days ago I saw someone spaming meteor and skoria procs in a bg. Then you have wide spread use of macros through out the whole game, pve and pvp. I was lvling a new toon in U50 cyrodill and there was a guy running around just spaming barriers. Then you got the sneaky cheaters that just change the values of abilities and passives, an example would they change an execute threshold to be at 80% health and do 500% more dmg. Theres not a single place in the game that doesnt have some one cheating in some way. Its not as noticeable in overland and normal dungeons because its so easy but its there.
@Degonyte What you think is the best Heal Class for Pure BG Healing and why?
It depends a bit. For unorganized groups: Warden for 4-man and Sorc for 8-man, simply because they have the biggest healing output in those respective group sizes and because they are tanky/mobile enough to be able to survive on their own. NB is good for 8-man as well, but access to Major Brut/Sorc can be a bit of a headache. For organized 4-man: Sorc or Arca because they are able to give the most buffs to the group that are not easy to obtain otherwise. Warden will do more HPS in this composition, but high healing output isn't *as* critical when you are running with a well-composed group.
@@Degonyte Thanks for the informtion. For BG Healing what is better many hots or Burst? The Sorc with Matriach is the Best for Burst heal right? but Sorc dont have many hots
@@TheHappyToasty2453 I would not recommend Twilight Matriarch because you have to double-bar it and you can often lose it in critical times during combat. Ideally you'd have a combination of HoTs and burst healing as shown in the video. Any class can run Echoing Vigor and Radiating Regen as HoTs.
did you think the scribing helps pvp healing? you can get some nice buffs from it
@Degonyte love the matriarch on both bars , I like to annoy people by spamming it when they think I'm close to death
JakeHStars banned for looking up and contacting corporate employees directly takes the cake.
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.
You got me.
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.

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.
Clownest take of 2024. Circus arrived early.
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
Thanks! Yeah, I'm in a couple of NA servers and judging by the salt that gets posted in them, this is a pretty universal issue.
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.
they auto ban for swearing in guild, party, and whisper chats also, regardless of reports
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.
they absolutely do and they even admit it "At ZeniMax we moderate toxicity and inappropriate language in all channels at all times, proactively. This means that we don't require a report to remove inappropriate content from our services, nor do we wait for one. Please refrain from engaging in inappropriate chat at all times in all channels moving forward if you'd like to continue participating in our service."
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.
Odds are someone reported it after all these years. Sounds very harsh to instantly perma someone; right now I could log on and probably find someone out there with a worse name within 5 minutes.
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.
