Understanding the Ban Reason

The term "Exploiting Terrain to Avoid Incoming Damage" refers to using the game's environment in a way that gives you an unfair advantage during PvP encounters. This can include actions like using terrain features to become unreachable or invulnerable to enemy attacks, effectively circumventing the intended mechanics of combat.

In ESO, the developers aim to maintain a fair playing field in PvP scenarios. If players are found to be taking advantage of glitches or unintended uses of the environment to avoid damage or gain an advantage, they may face penalties, including temporary bans.

What You Can Do

If you believe your ban was a mistake or if you want to understand more about the specific actions that led to it, you can reach out to ESO's customer support. They can provide more details on the incident and clarify any misunderstandings regarding your gameplay.

To avoid future issues, ensure that you play within the intended mechanics of the game and avoid using any glitches or exploits that could be deemed unfair.
