Sorry this happened to you, OP. Good job reporting them -- I hope ZOS takes it seriously and does something about these creeps. Hate speech certainly *does* hurt, and should not be ignored.

As for the people lecturing you about what you should and shouldn't bring up on these forums, they are the ones I'd ignore, personally. You did the right thing.

Why post it on the forums?
Reporting and blocking was enough, you don't have to make this public.

I do have to make this public....it heeds to stop. I had to be silent and not say anything to stop it even though every part of me wanted to lash out at them....dont you dare make me feel bad about this i didnt do anything wrong.

You didn’t do anything wrong, and all the victim blaming and apologist responses are disgusting.

Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me. I wish more people learned this valuable lesson.

This is just wrong on so many levels.

I have delt with people making fun of me for physical imperfections for over 30 years. I learned a long time ago that the best way to deal with it, was to ignore their commentary...because what they were saying was not true, it was just being said to be hurtful. I stop letting it hurt me and life is better.

The biggest change any person can do to the world, is change themselves.

Yes, it is definitely true that on a personal level it's better not to let your welbeing depend too much on what other people do and say, and generally speaking not to let it depend on things that are beyond your control.

On the other hand, even if you cannot not stop people from insulting you, and can try to ignore them, it still matters to know they are the ones doing wrong.

And so, if only to keep a notion of what is and is not acceptable, it is worth to call people out on bad behaviour. What the OP experienced is something parents, teachers, employers etc. would not accept in "the real world". Why should we let it slide because it happened on-line?

But just for fun, heres a parse from my sorc with the left mouse button held down while i actually went afk...

If you pull less dps, congrats you just got outparsed by an inanimate object (my coffee mug handle, to be specific).

What are you trying prove here? If your point is that any person should be able to do 15k+ dps, your example is not that appropriate.

Your sorc pets account for 27% of your dps parse (which have 100% uptime and require no input from you so doesn't matter even if you were afk, unless you want use their special abilities). You were using slimecraw + new moon acolyte + mother's sorrow as the sets, which are extremely strong sets especially in a solo scenario. You also had 15k+ spell penetration on a humanoid dummy, which is waay outside the norm considering you didn't seem to use any resistance debuffs on the enemy. From light armor passive + new moon set bonuses you would get 6300 spell penetration, how did you get the rest of 9000 spell penetration while being afk? I'm guessing a sharpened weapon trait and a load of CP put into spell erosion passive.

So no, it's a terrible example if your point was to say anyone doing less than 15k+ on single target is "congrats you just got outparsed by an inanimate object".

While we're at it, why are all colors not unlocked? I hate that they're race locked.

Yep. Welcome to ESO. Just a couple hours ago an old guild master felt the need to tell zone chat that he kicked kicked me because I'm gay. Knowing him he's going to try finding out my current guilds and try to convince them to kick me too.
