Whoa, did you not report him for flaming you? That's bloody awful!

It's a shame there are such a*holes about. The internet and online gaming seems to really bring them out. Just satisfy yourself that he is probably some kid sitting in his bedroom whose balls haven't dropped yet! lol!

I'm not sure there's anything you could have done personally, but report the original troll... that's all I can think of.

Wow, yeah OK that defiantly needs looking at. If you have not reported this you should. I am always accused of being a spy when I actually never give anything away to either side, I just play all the alliances in the same map haha! but someone taking your name tag and running around with it accusing you of doing something you have not done is wrong on all levels, you should of taken some pictures ):

EDIT: might need to have some kind of username lock on accounts that lock the name to your psn tag or something

I am just hoping ESO sees this.

Yes, i did report him and the others who went along with him.

Still out $35 (24.99 to get the crowns to do the name change in game and 9.99 for the gamertag change).

Yes, I have seen this happen many times over the years on WoW. Ruining people in game for no reason at all. Time and money invested.

Always the few ruin it for the rest.

Just do what I do: lose every pvp fight. No one ever accuses me of cheating.

I hope you have money to burn because no one cares/pays attention to anything long enough to justify that drastic a response.

If there was no zone chat, it would be much harder for a-holes to find each other. I simply dont get it why there needs to be zone chat, oh well, Zen has decided its path.

Except they did. I used to get into groups as soon as I typed LFG - same 3 or 4 groups. Until after that. I was blacklisted.

Id rather not say or give away too much info because my new name may be found out.

Make your own group. Case solved

Stop playing PvP immediately....a lot less stress guaranteed!!

I had to spend $35 to change my gamertag and character name because of zone chat in PVP

Had to?

Not buying it. Sorry someone seemed to target you, but you should have been able to build up a reputation well before the accusation, so anyone in your parties would realize how ridiculous the accusation was.

If you did lose your temper, I would suspect this wasn't just limited to the accusation.

Most people who change their gamertag/player name do so because they've burned too many bridges which can't be repaired.

Before pointing the finger at someone else, perhaps you should ensure you're not the problem which started the accusation in the first place.

Just advice, nothing more. Good luck with your new identity. Don't let your attitude muck this one up.

Firstly, and crucially, do not feel forced into parting with your hard-earned money purely because someone in the /zone chat has decided to pick on you - never allow anyone you meet in-game or online in general, with such malicious intentions, have an effect of this kind on you. They're simply not worth it, and I find it really quite sad that you felt so pressured into dispensing with your money purely because of the inane nonsense being spouted by someone deciding to pick on you, for no good reason - at all costs, try to avoid this in the future.

Secondly, you have to remember that, at the end of the day, they're someone like you - an MMORPG enthusiast sat behind a monitor, trying to have fun in a game that they enjoy; granted, they might be being obnoxious, but you need to comprehend their circumstances as well. Perhaps they've been having a bad day or frustrating session, and the only way that they can release that anger is through venting it onto another player. Granted, that doesn't excuse them for behaving in such a way, and it isn't fair on you for their blame to be abrogated because they might simply be having a pretty rotten day, but instead of getting mad and retorting, (which can seriously reflect back on you, in nasty ways), remain calm and civil, and appreciate that you have no idea what they're going through in their life. Fundamentally, they're just someone sat behind a computer screen, who you will most likely never meet, and never hear of again after your brief encounter with them online, and hence they shouldn't mean anything to you whatsoever. This adds quite nicely onto my previous point - don't let someone so insignificant to you in your life yield such a profound impact, so as to force you to part with your cash.

Finally, and addressing the impact it has on your PvP experience - I would expect that this encounter would have been negligible anyway. People generally forget the names of others in /zone chat the moment that a name is engulfed by the monstrous, ever-growing scroll bar, and even in a day's time, I highly doubt that people would still deny you group access for acting like a "Spy". If, by some miracle, someone does pick you up on it, then laugh about it, and if they're being persistent and continue to accuse you with increasing force, just mention, politely, that it's simply a game - you can fight for as many Alliances as you wish in ESO, up to the grand total of 3. They have no proof - so what if you're clandestinely scribbling down notes of AD tactics on a thick, green leaf with a burnt stick? You can claim that it's field art ! It doesn't really matter, and I'm sure that others will see reason, if not immediately then later, (as an AD main, I would find it hilarious, and joke in the /zone chat about you being a spy without excluding you from activities - these occurrences should be laughed at, and if someone's really taking it that seriously, all the more reason to chuckle).

I'm sorry to hear about what has happened, and you have our support. Next time, remember that the /zone chat in Cyrodiil is a dark, dark place, crawling with evil denizens that are all military masterminds and spend their time screaming orders at each-other nonsensically. It requires true training for protecting oneself against the Dark Arts to embark within the Cyrodillic /zone chat... ...seriously though, don't take things like this too seriously. Remember that, in your life, they hold no impact and/or importance whatsoever, and the likelihood is that this is how it'll remain. Remain civil, don't feel pressured into spending money because of their words, and if all else fails, come off for a few hours, (heck, it doesn't even have to be that long), and return - most people would have forgotten it by then.

I hope that this helps, and have a smashing week! Good luck on the battlefield - both the actual and the /zone chat, and I hope that this doesn't happen again in the future!
