    I have found it frustrating when people respond to comments when they are clearly directed to ZOS, however, notice that none of us commented until you went public. Even though at least I, so I’m sure others, knew that this was still about Wizards. I understand you feel that ZOS owes us specifics, but all things considered, the opinion of two different ZOS employees is more than most of us ever get. My bug post begging for devs to comment on major bugs (I need to add the queue bugs again…) hasn’t had any traction, for instance.
    [PC/NA] Dungeoneer (Tank/DPS), Semi-retired Trialist, and amateur Battlegrounder (DPS) with a passion for The Elder Scrolls lore.
    Current GM of Hard Dungeoneers
    Tanks: Sorcerer - Necromancer - Templar
    DPS: Frost Warden - Stamarc - StamDK - Hybrid NB Healer
    Ex-Healer: Warden - Arcanist
    Dungeons: 34/34 HMs - 28/28 Tris

    i dont know if this is a age gap thing a major defense for add-on or just a personal dislike but taking opinions on violations as fact just dont sit to well with me , reason i didnt come in using my opinions but using ToS terms that was backed by actions

    You have a deeply flawed understanding of the purposes of a TOS.

    Since you have already posted your thread with your other request and honestly, its a reasonable one.

    And since the OP has stated that this one has been derailed and lost its purpose, which was to get the attention of zos to a dm about a topic....

    I honestly feel it has done its purpose and should be closed.

    All it will serve now is to encourage players to violate the forum rules, and we could use less of that.

    i actual 2nd this as i believe that this post has shown that the players are ok with zos making these types of judgement calls on things that violate ToS and should get

    "Hi All, just wanted to follow up here. We want to reiterate that currently, we do not see an issue with ( in sert any topic ) and do not consider it breaking ToS. Our stance has not changed here. We have shared this before, but wanted to make sure we followed up here given the thread commentary. Thank you for sharing your opinions about this add-on."
    as a response.

    I post in threads in which I feel commentary, a sense of realism, and to challenge an idea, or sometimes a bit of humor is needed.

    In this case its realism and to challenge you.

    Do I like that ZOS is arbitrary and subjective in how they handle things? Nope not at all.

    Do i understand that vague arbitrary and subjective terms in the TOS and other documents are designed mostly to allow companies the flexibility they want in order to protect those subjective and arbitrary decisions and options? Yes, I do.

    Zos is legally protected from having to explain their internal reasoning to you.

    You are asking them to show you the line in the sand, what exactly it is thar crosses it... however, the issue that you are running into is that they dont have to give you and answer. They can literally say "because they said so" and its fine. They can even say the addon exists so its fine.

    Not explaining the reasons foe why x is allowed and Y isnt gives them the ability to be flexible with where the line actually is.

    Is it frustrating? Yes. Take getting an account gifting qualified... its a pain and no one know the criteria because its not disclosed and it changes.

    So the reality check here is that the most likely action zos would take is to suspend or ban someone that keeps pressing them on where the line is, when they dont want to disclose it.

    If they do end up finally doing so, great awesome. But they arnt required to, and that is my point.

    Regarding the rest, honestly? I dont care about the addon. The goal is to challenge, to try to bring out critical thinking. Because the best ideas and methods are ones that survive scrutiny and criticism and still look like good ideas.

    In this thread and others you have posted like it, the vast majority of my comments have revolved around what you should expect as a response to your requests/demands... and that your likely not going to get what you want from it.

    Is that ok? No, not really... but they can do it. The real decision is deciding if its going to be enough to end your willingness to support the game. Which is all you can really do to impact ZOS.

    if more players band together not divided zos wouldn't see a player as a outcast they'd see a group of players wanting answers to questions but you got to fight the community more over wanting it more than you get answered

    I dunno, looks like most of the players here are very much in agreement.

    The community isn't "divided" on this issue at all; there is a massive, overwhelming consensus in the room. You aren't being seen as an outcast because of some split in the playerbase; you are being seen that way because you are the only one refusing to accept a definitive, developer-vetted answer that everyone else has already moved on from.

    again if your willing to take what was gave as an answer its only because you wasnt for the change
    but this aint an answer

    A definitive "no violation" from the developers of the game is an answer, whether you choose to accept it or not.

    Demanding that developers write a custom essay addressing your personal claims before you'll accept their authority isn't how live-service games operate. They gave a clear statement, and the community has moved on; it's time you moved on too.

    The ToS are zenimax's. It's not a law or a statute provided for by a legislature. It's a set of rules they've made up, they make us agree to and they don't have to follow them to the letter if they don't want to, they've included that discretion in the rules as well. They can choose how they enforce them on players. And if they change them all tomorrow, we have to agree or we don't play.

    STOP thinking they're binding on zenimax, they're only binding on us.

    At this point, the best way to handle this topic is ignore it. He was banned previously, he will probably be banned again if continue pushing this, just don't waste your time answering and trying to convince or explain anything, it is almost trolling type of messages, repeating all the same nonsense making you want to answer something. Fight the desire to answer and just ignore this topic, it is helpless.

    Greetings,

    As mentioned before in the previously closed thread we see no issue regarding Wizards Wardrobe and our Terms of Service. With that being said, because this thread has derailed rather quickly we feel it is best to close it down.

    Please be sure to keep our Community Rules in mind when posting on our forums.
