There seems to be two players impersonating Gamemasters in chat.
Their names are Gamemaster Kathar and Gamemaster Finalorn.

They have sent a tell threatening my group partner will account violations.
I know Gamemasters name's are in gold these names are in white like the rest of us.

Please look into this ASAP.

    this is one of him admitting to being an employee. That is all I have, his harassment is in the form of tells to my group partner.

    It's not his name that bothers us; he's claiming in chat to be an official employee of Zenimax. THAT is the violation.

    Thats what I thought at first, but I guess zos feels that this crime is sufficient to allow leeway on the naming and shaming rule. Its their rules and they are fully within their rights to decide when and where to enforce them or not.

    Typical hypocrisy, they change the rules to suit themselves .. so one can't name and shame scammers, RMT, botters, etc. but one CAN name and shame an alleged fake GM.

    One thing interests me though, what gear are these characters wearing because it does look very like what the GM who came to try to fix Eye of the Ancients for me was wearing.

    good thing they didnt put a block on gamemaster/admin in character names...

    bet the fix will be limiting in game names, rather than blocking those words in character names.
    instead of blocking gamemaster or game master, i bet they will block both words individually.

    Hey, everyone. Gamemaster Kathar and Gamemaster Finalorn are both legitimate ESO GMs. We hope this provides some clarification on the issue.

    As always, no GM will ever ask for details pertaining to a player's account or personal information, so remaining vigilant to impostors is still very important. You can recognize in-game GMs by their white robes and smoke.

    Thank you!

    Lovely to see how all the *** up bugs in this game also effect the GM's so people can't see if they truly are GM's or not. Is it not time to fire all the incompetent coders soon?

    Why the heck do they stand there, using /sitchair and whatnot? GM's are supposed to be on their own. I know it can be fun to fool around, but this ain't very professional imo.

    Here's probably waiting for a player. They sometimes teleport to players who logged support tickets with quests, to try to help them. And that involves waiting around for players. Or they're just messing around.

    They acted entirely unprofessionally then and should be dealt with accordingly.

    GMs should not engage in the kind of discussion they were involved in via public chat channels.

    LOL What? They are people who work there trying to be part of the community. As long as they where acting professional and not calling you names or anything whats the problem? Look at the Forums and you see tons of complaints wanting Zenimax to be more communicative and when they are you get mad?
