Re: Public formal confirmation that griefing and bullying isn't against Code of Conduct
Any solution is better than current abussive mess and you don't need to disregard suggested solutions.
Also to your information - other good games literally don't have this problem and no one is 'trolling it'. False dismisal are punishable acts. Screen from XIV.
Can you come up with a better idea maybe?

Re: Public formal confirmation that griefing and bullying isn't against Code of Conduct
Not that long ago there was a discussion about what constitutes cheating in PvP, mostly Cyrodiil. There was some unhealthy stretching of the term cheating, to a point that it encompassed all behaviour/play style/tactic that OP was finding annoying, like using LoS to survive 1vX. This thread in a way reminds me of it.
When I need to complete a dungeon, I always use group finder. I’m to a degree amazed by the many complaints about random groups, as I have a pretty good experience most of the time. I also encountered some toxic players, but very few comparing to just casual players saying "gg bb" once the activity is complete.
I used to queue as a dd some years ago, and at first my dps was non-existent; also I had no idea. I didn’t get kicked or bullied really; I just had this vague impression that smth was wrong, then I begun to do trials and got kicked many times because of too low dps. That’s fine I can understand the reason why. But then, this isn’t my kind of content, it isn’t engaging enough for me to sweat and smash buttons for many long hours to get my perfect rotation.
So when I need a rnd vet, I queue with what I still call my fake tank. It’s basically the same toon, my main, but with taunt, chains and some sets. And from this perspective, the importance of a good dps looks very different.
First of all, I totally adore all the speed running high dps players. Can’t help it, sometimes I’m simply in awe. They are my favs. But when I see a slow quester in my group, I try to convince speed runners to slow down for a sec. Sometimes it works.
Sometimes speed runners get rude and we vote to kick them out.
I also tend to complete dungeons with low dps players, unless they are dlc and difficult. That’s really taking very long sometimes, but I guess I need to redeem myself for all the carries. I usually complain about low dps on every occasion in the chat, but don’t kick people out. Sometimes dd whisper me to complain about the other dd or the fake heal, we exchange and decide whether to vote kick or not.
From my experience, both as a fake dps and a fake tank, I find it totally unacceptable to wait till the final boss to kick someone out. The first boss is more than enough to evaluate how the run is going and whether everyone is fulfilling their roles. From my PoV it is just so wrong on so many levels to drag everyone through an entire dungeon all the way to the final boss, just to only then, after all this time, deprive other player(s) of their reward, so they have to re-queue and re-run another dungeon. Now, I didn’t see the recording or read the reported bullying in chat; I don’t know what exactly happened in OP’s case, so it’s not really possible to judge accurately. But if there are players who do that on regular basis (vote kick others at the final boss forcing them to re-run, while themselves can just complete the activity and reap the rewards immediately, while wasting other people’s time and experience), then that could potentially qualify as a violation of the ZOS code of conduct of ESO, and I would have a look at it if I were ZOS.

Necro Pet Cap
Back to the game after a break. Playing my necro and keep getting the message "can't do that while at pet cap" or something along those lines. Is necro broken now? Is a ui thing in Bandits? I don't remember getting this message before. Not doing anything special, just parsing away on my dummy, decided to try it in a dungeon and got it during the final boss in vet ERE. Rotation same as it always was, blastbones every 3rd cast and consuming them with corpseburster. Don't know how I reach pet cap with the corpse being consumed every time by corpseburster.
Re: Mute the Voice at the Enchanting Table
I’ve heard the voice ever since I started crafting years ago and I’ve always liked it. I can’t ever remember a time I did not hear the voice. I love the voice, but then, I love all the other voices I hear in my head too.
Re: How would a forced name change due to Crossplay affect you?
Other as i doubt we would be forced to change our character names.
it is likelier that we would just get a platform tag.
edited to add:
hypothetically if forced name change did happen, i would be upset.
But i would not leave the game or stop supporting it as i want Crossplay.
Honestly would be more surprised than upset if people even have characters with the same names as mine.

Re: How would a forced name change due to Crossplay affect you?
Duplicate player names would have to be addressed - adding a platform symbol would be fine.
Duplicate character names should be 'who cares?' If my character has the same name as some other character, who cares - as long as the player name is different. Think of the character name as a first name and the player name as a last name.

When mousing over! That explains a lot.
It is extremely rare that I ever mouse over another player and I had not even noticed this before.
Therefore it would be safe to say that you would likely not notice an extra icon signifying platform yes?

The ranks have different symbols wich change with you doing pvp.
At the begin its some sort of square and later it goes on to be a strar, two stars etc till its a circle of stars.
Everyone has these
Well if it only shows while doing PvP then that explains why I never noticed them. I will go to Cyrodiil today and see if I see these.
Either way, I rarely PvP so I am not used to seeing such things next to player's names in the PvE zones where I spend most of my time. So they would definitely stand out to me as something new and different.
In PVE land when you mouse over a player, you see their cp level, their name and on the right their alliance rank and by colour their alliance as Amilegee showed above
And now imagine there couldt be a mini icon - maybe toggle off able , showing the platform where the players is playing on. Problem solved.
Im sure there are more on the list

Re: How would a forced name change due to Crossplay affect you?
No, the choices aren't biased. They are a progressive "It would not bother me at all" to "It would be a deal breaker for me and I would move on" with an "Other" option for those that felt none of the choices were appropriate for how they felt about it.
There are multiple degrees of how much something may bother a player, from minor to extreme. But if a player is not bothered by something there are no degrees of how not bothered they are.

They are part of the base game and next to every name.
Idk if its a setting or addon toggling that off for you, but i can imagine something like that can be possible for players of other plattforms too.
I looked at it is a setting that I was not even aware of. Mine is set to Enemy so I guess I would only see it in Cyrodiil or battlegrounds?
