How do we know that banned players were allowed back years after their bans?

We're PvPer's.

They TELL us they're back.

That doesn't mean ZoS has a policy to unban players after a few years. Where is ZoS's word on this?

This is probably true; however, I suspect Zos doesn't care. The players come back and change 1 letter in their name. Some have bragged and logged in with 5 or more consecutively named accounts in a matter of days if not hours.

This is the world now, sorry.

Your only chance of fighting this is at the political level, assuming your country even allows for it.

Or I can stop spending $1000s of dollars on ESO every year in response. Either they can make a few extra bucks by compromising our information, while losing the $1000s I would spend on the game, or they can stop violating our rights, and I'll continue to play and spend money.

You'll find every megacorp backed company to have similar data collection policies. Your phone, PC, and increasingly public surveillance are also monetized in a similar way through the same kind of "consent."

Perhaps consider the cabin in the woods approach?

Buy a Google Pixel phone, then delete Google OS and install GrapheneOS.

Uninstall Windows from your PC, install Linux.

Use a virtual machine to run any of these corporations "software" (spyware), that way they have no access to your information.

Don't just give in because so many of them are grossly abusing consumer rights, now more than ever we need civil disobedience and to speak up for our right to privacy, our right to our data.

Careful buddy, otherwise Thought Police gonna knock on your door sooner or later XD
Jokes aside, I'm on your side.

Oh look a charm crutch detected

LOL. You'd have to be a pretty useless warden to rely on charm to get kills...

If charm gets nerfed, I can assure you that competent warden players won't even blink. My warden was PvPing long before scribing, so it's a non-issue for me. I'm just bored of the crying-nerf cycle because it's achieving nothing.

Wow since the last patch the delays are back and worse than before. I am in Coldharbour and I had to stand at a wayshrine 15 seconds before the game realized I was there and counted it as known. Same thing with a boss. Was halfway in the fight before the game showed the boss as known on my map. Gonna need a new keyboard I am hitting keys so many times and I am lucky if 1 out of 5 count in the game....

EDIT:

Welp Akami spiking at 700ms is the problem! My route is always 2-3MS EXCEPT for Akami.

We already use lots of crafted gear in all campaigns.
What we should have is the old Ravenwatch with no proc sets.
The way Ravenwatch is now, its dead.

As much as I would love to see an alternative mode, I don’t want the old RW back:

1. It was laggy
2. It was badly mishandled by ZOS:
* Nobody knew exactly which sets worked and which sets didn’t
* The official list of working sets was incomplete from the beginning and never updated
* List of sets was incoherent: some sets that should have been enabled were not
* New dlc sets that should have been enabled at launch were not working for months

No wonder it was unpopular. The concept itself is great but the implementation was disastrous.

I've always been a supporter of no classes in ESO. Subclassing is a big improvement because it brings things much closer to being able to build my own class rather than maintaining several classes with none of them quite hitting the mark.

This. Plus as soon as they start churning out more skill styles (idk why we're getting like 2 or 3 a patch, at least churn out a few complete sets recolor styles, that really shouldn't be that hard I feel like), then we'll be able to make sorc abilities look like the neon green arcanist abilities, or make arcanist abilities look like ice for a Warden theme, or fire for flame ardent dragon knight theme, and so on.

I honestly don't see a downside to implementing more vaults for storage of various items.

...except for the fact that ZOS devs have said that people hoarding stuff is one of the biggest problems and they're struggling to keep up with the data as it is.

There's a reason that they changed the mail timers, and the guild trader timers, and have been trying to pare down redundant things here and there throughout the game. Enabling more hoarding is the opposite of their goal.

I'd think that if that were true, they'd stop manufacturing more unique items to dump into our inventories. Which they do 52 times a year with the Lux vendor, whenever a new zone is released, and with the non-stop revolving door of events.

And IIRC the listing times were lowered to reduce traffic flow (which nobody could wrap their head around) and had nothing to do with hoarding. Because to lower that would require reducing the number of allowed trader slots per player.

The novelty would wear off very quickly. All characters being boiled down to a generic model would get dull.
