Subclassing, a carefully planned strategy by the games's proprietors is not going away.

Of course it isn't going away since it has only just been put into the game. It's the players that are going away.

Any factual evidence, not anecdotes, would be helpful.

Lost 29.9% of its playerbase adn thats only steam users,what about the Zos version fo the game how many there as well.

I honestly hate to see this game losing players,but hte whole issue here is Zos simply aren't listening toi the playerbase and throwing things in that no-one wanted or even asked for either.

My problem with ESO is that it often doesn't feel like a game anymore, it's more of a time waster. The chapters have become smaller and smaller and at a certain point the content is just repetitive. Then everything was made even more accessible so that it no longer feels like a success like MSA, DSA, BRP....

It’s deeply disappointing, though entirely unsurprising, to see so many dismissive comments. It’s clear that so many people saw “LGTB” and immediately decided “woke snowflakes” are blowing things out of proportion. I suppose it’s too much to ask for empathy online but willful ignorance of the reality and the lived in experiences of minorities that have been targeted and ostracized repeatedly should not be so readily dismissed. To those saying “I fail to see what the LGBT has to do with it” what you’re really “failing” to see is the reason why such guilds have to exist in the first place and because online gaming is rife with bigotry and intolerance. It is not a stretch by any means to assume that malicious actors actively targeted an LGBT guild with false reporting and that some sort of automated system on ZOS end initiated the actions against the guild without any kind of human supervision. Literally nothing about that is surprising.

I find it rather disappointing that one gets accused of being an "anti LGBT bigot" just for having the ideal of approaching things calmly and factually. The truth is that all we know in this case is that someone reported this guild for a possible name violation, and how the support reacted on that, and that the support person seemed to have made a mistake. Everything else is subjective interpretations and assumptions for now, but not facts. I'm not sure whether the whole thing is about cultural differences again, but with my background, I see a huge difference there. Feelings aren't facts, assumptions are nothing more than one possible interpretation of a situation, with the possibility to be wrong.

@ZOS_Kevin (Thank you very much for your help and your ongoing communication with us forum people!) has promised the team will look into it further, so hopefully the issue will be resolved. If the outcome of the investigation is that there are groups of players targeting other player groups willfully with unjustified reports, there will hopefully be considerations about how to solve this problem. I also hope we might, at some point, get a further discussion about some TOS rules where players have voiced concerns that they don't seem clear enough to them, which poses the risk of subjective interpretation, leading to mistakes.

I'm gay, by the way (sad you have to say that nowadays, because I believe that factual arguments should be the only thing that matters, not identity categories).

If the players can pinpoint the day the change was made that tanked performance, surely ZOS can figure it out too.

So why isn't ZOS reverting this change? Even FPS is bottoming out now and it's not due to our video cards or equipment. Even FPS is being determined server side now, and this change IS NOT WORKING! This can be fixed. ZOS knows what they did and what needs to be done to revert the change. So why hasn't this change been reverted in either of the two maintenances we've had since June 25th?

Hi all, just wanted to follow up here. Thank you for escalating this. We’ve had a chat with customer service to revert the change to the guild name. We are also investigating why this change happened to begin with.

We just wanted to highlight that we believe the change error occurred because of an incorrect change from a customer service agent. We do want to reiterate that AI was not used as a part of this process and was facilitated by customer service staff. We are looking to figure out exactly where the error occurred so that we can refine the process to avoid the issue in the future.

Thanks for your patience as we continue to investigate.

Whoever actually owns "Catzputin" (if it's even a real guild) shouldn't have their guild name changed either. It's literally just a pun of the name Rasputin and has nothing to do with a certain leader.

Honestly the moderation of in-game content is terrible. People having their character and guild names changed for no reason and simply being told "idgaf what your intent was" is ridiculous.
