Evil Hunter Highlights Vampires - What about addons that also do this?

    I am hoping for an explicit answer regarding Add-ons that identify Vampires in PvP, especially since the upcoming Justice system will throw all vampires into PvP weather they like it or not sooner or later if they go into town at stage 4 or feed on a townsperson.

    Where has it ever been stated about the Justice System that entering towns at stage 4 will flag a player for PvP?

    Most recent ESO live (I think) Paul Sage said that Werewolf Transformation and Stage 4 Vamp will attract the attention of the guards.

    Characters wearing the skeleton or goblin costumes to hide their identity as a vampire are arguably manipulating game content to achieve unintended results; Paul Sage has mentioned that it is intended in game that players be able to visibly tell when someone is a vampire, so using in-game costumes for the unintended purpose of hiding that status from other players is problematic.

    Also hiding what sort of armor you're wearing.
    Of course anybody with a full face helmet is also hiding their vampirism in a problematic way.

    Hiding armour types by using costumes is actually something that has had various complaint threads pop up since launch.

    ...
    Targeting, plain and simple, IMHO. There are abilities used to do extra damage to Vampires, people want to have an easier time targeting us.

    Wait till they finnaly fix werewolves to be combat ready, people will be having fits about not being able to pick them out of a crowd when they haven't transformed, unless the addon does it for them.

    Have not formally tested myself yet, but have seen a number of players post stating that Werewolves are only affected by their weaknesses while transformed, so targeting without being transformed would be kind of moot.
    If this actually is so, it is particularly interesting that the only time werewolves are naturally visibly and easily identifiable is while they can take bonus damage.

    This does, however, indicate that targeting is probably a significant portion of why ZOS programmed vampires as being visible all the time as you suggest.

    That is a very good point. Do Were's get any benefits untransformed? I don't think so.

    I suppose my biggest question comes down to just how big of a wooden stake target I have on my chest, and how big it will be when 1.5 goes live.

    Personally believe auto-lock, highlighted targets, auto-aim and anything of the sorts is for players who are all thumbs, have no coordination or critical thinking skills. @MornaBaine sums it up quite nicely here:

    At what point does this stop? When you finally have an add-on that assesses everyone's data and auto-slots your best counters and chooses the most "important" first targets for you? It just smacks of "lamesauce" to me. Sorry, it just does.

    The bigger question is why is'nt ZOS removing this garbage skill? Or why don't they add a different one for each class then? Have a color to highlight DKs a different one for Sorcerer's, people using different sets, potions, etc. the list goes on and on....why single out vamps/ww?! ridiculous

    These buff trackers should be limited to members of a group.

    /endrant

    Edit: revised to reflect the fact it is a current skill but still a garbage skill at that
