I just wish ZOS would adjust the timers so that dead body collection took place either just before or just as the dead NPC re-spawned. Because THIS is just creepy:

With the "High Seas of Tamriel" event confirmed for the summer, I can’t be the only one thinking about the "extinct" races again. ZOS keeps saying they want to give us "experimental and varied content" this year—so why not finally address the fox-sized elephant in the room? The Lilmothiit.
I know, I know... "But they died to the Knahaten Flu in 2E 560!"
Hear me out on the logic:
We don't need a retcon. If the Maormer can hide in Pyandonea for eras, it’s 100% plausible a tribe of Lilmothiit dipped out of Black Marsh before the plague hit and found some unmapped islands in the Padomaic Ocean.
Since we’re getting Naval Battles and Underwater Exploration, it’s the perfect gameplay loop to "rediscover" them. Imagine sailing into a mist-shrouded zone and finding a sea-faring culture of fox-folk who’ve been isolated for centuries. It fits the "High Seas" vibe perfectly.
Why this works for 2026:
1. Visuals: We have enough "humans in slightly different armor." A beast race would actually make the world feel diverse again.
2. The "Rumors" System: They could tease this via the new Morrowind-style rumor quests. Just some whispers in the taverns about "agile, furred sailors" spotted near the southern coasts.
3. Companions: Even if making them a playable race is "too much work" for the current engine (we all know the struggle with capes/tails), at least give us a Lilmothiit Companion.
ZOS, you gave us the ocean, now give us a reason to explore the deeps beyond just another set of dailies.
What do you guys think? Is the "Island Refuge" theory too far-fetched, or is it time ZOS stopped playing it safe with the lore?

No this is completely unacceptable. You did this without notifying your players and yet it has failed so badly we still noticed.

The Elder Scrolls Online is rated M and already has the following precautions in place:
• A system to automatically censor explicit words or phrases. This can be toggled on/off in our Options.
• A system to report other players for their behavior if we feel bothered by them.

Your new system is an automatic Report tool which reads text from both Public and Private chats. The reported content is then acted on by overworked Human CSRs who have incomplete context and a tight schedule. It is no surprise that tons of innocent players have received wrongful account bans over this.

Furthermore, attempting to appeal an account ban is a challenge in itself. The process often involves weeks of frustrating discourse with automated messages as ZOS conducts investigations. Even if everything works out, you’ll still miss out on limited time events and even paid ESO+ subscription time. ZOS provides zero compensation for wrongful bans. (the transmute event PTS/Live situation was a unique exception)

Instead of moderating zone chats to auto-flag Gold Sellers and Bots, you are using it to police private chats between consenting adults. Thanks for clarifying how this works Kevin, but it certainly does not instill any confidence.

[snip] Any commission that could do something have been neutered bit by bit in the last 20 years, both in the US and EU. There is no more you or I or anybody can do. [snip] Let us enjoy what is left of the sane world until it all goes to hell.

[edited for bashing]

I don't think allowing us to go into any delve in the game for that quest would be feasible, as it would entail updating every single delve in the game to add the coding required to let us capture a Daedra there.

We already have a profanity filter and a report player option. We certainly didn't need the addition of a hyperactive and highly inaccurate AI system getting involved. Who ever heard of a robot getting offended anyway? Why would a robot care if someone insulted it? Would calling a robot a useless tin can make it cry?

Considering it has no human sensivities, a bot would actually even be better than a human reviewer who could be influenced by personal opinions, upbringing, culture and other such factors - wouldn't the problem be that it would also not understand context, fiction vs reality, jokes, etc.

Anyway, ZOS says it's only auto-flagging, but then the cases get sent to a human reviewer. The question is why that process leads to so many wrong bans. If it's outsourced: Are the people making these decisions reliable? Do they understand the language well, including idioms and colloquialisms? Are they provided enough of the chat to be able to see context (one line only won't help)? Are they flooded with cases so much that they don't have enough time to review them properly?

I'm sure they may have a legal right to do something like this.

What isn't clear is our consumer rights in this situation.

For instance, our right to know some basic information about this system, why it is being implemented and what choices we have with our purchased product.

@ZOS_MattFiror

And who told you ZOS is doing anything?

So I come to the forums saying ZOS is spying us with a satellite and you demand explanation just because me, a random person, said that and I didn't provide any proof?

Also, seems you didn't read the part above where I say:

"You don't need AI to monitor that. It's been like that with ZOS for years. There are several certain words that are flagged and can trigger an alert on ZOS side."

Every mmo has that since ever.

IA has nothing to do here.
 

There are two other threads with the same topic, with countless player accounts confirming this.

I don't know, we humans are so broken right now, even harmless comments are being labeled as "hate speech", "dehumanizing toward protected groups", I don't think AI will do any worse. Maybe it will do better.

Having limited rerolls in tomes and you get the same as you already have. This shouldn't happen it makes the whole point of rerolling obsolete.

I'm confused. How can we claim 99 daily logins in a season that only lasts 97 days? And why don't I already have one from logging in today?

Two-sided Battlegrounds are too difficult to balance. Three-sided Deathmatch is not. Please add it as a permanent option for solo players.
