Clarification of conduct

mdb800 · May 12

My apologies for the odd question: When it comes to the "no teabagging' policy for PVP; we are still able to use emotes such as flip the bird or Goofy sounding stuff, as long as it's in good jest, right? No antagonizing or anything hateful just using in-game emotes?
I ran into a few players. I claimed that they received account disciplinary actions due to using emotes in PvP. But of course I can't verify that's factually true or not. I just wanted to ask out of precaution.

Personally, for me, i more, enjoy the emote "teatime" but I honestly, I do believe that in the TOS it says if someone asks you in a whisper or a message to stop doing emotes on their dead body and you keep doing it then you can get banned for it, like if you are in pvp killing or bombing the same group over and over then it can be a form of griefing which you can be banned for as well

Based on what I’ve heard around on the forums, I think you can’t emote as well. If you want to play it safe, I guess don’t do anything near anyones corpse. :S

I was scared the other day.I was bombing and I kept trying to go back into sneak, because I didn't want to waste magic just utilizing cloak but got hit with that bug that kept pulling you out of sneak like you would click sneak, and it would sit you down, sit you back up, sit you down, set you back up and it looked like I was tbagging the group I bombed

naw dont do anything, dont type anything to anyone in pvp even if its a compliment, dont t bag or emote or even crouch near enemy bodies tbh.

these days 90% of people are genuinely out to get you and its not all in good fun, if you get t bagged or whispered you should just ignore it and never engage bcs 9/10 times you will get banned and they will get no consequences.

the rules only apply to those ZoS sees as favorable so its best not to engage with anyone in pvp.

ive seen WAY to many people get banned for doing these things even when they arent the ones who started it and its almost always a perma

No teabagging >:C
Also ZOS emote:

I imagine they wouldn't have created Flip the Bird or Kiss This if they didn't want them to be used.

Teatime is a good alternative though!

I have to point out: if rp taunting with emotes( in good jest) is something to be discouraged, then why create such emotes?I find it laughable when other players do it and it brings a good creative charm to PvP .

I know how to those that was difficult to kill or cry over someone I snuck up on. But now I am afraid to use these emotes at all

Just don't teabag anyone and you'll be fine. It's not that hard to provide a minimum degree of respect to fellow players and just don't gloat/teabag/dance/etc. or anything else on a corpse. It spreads ill will and breeds animosity. (with the exception of horsing around with your friends doing friendly RP and the like)
