That dang Age Gate

✭✭✭✭✭
I am really getting tired of the Age Gate system on the website. I often can make it to the main page of Elder Scrolls Online, but when I click an article, it sends me to the age gate, and I enter my birth date just to be redirected to the home page again. I cannot seem to be able to read much of the news articles because of it. I don't delete my cookies or anything, and the only way around it sometimes to enter a different birth date.
Could you guys seriously take a look into the looping nature of the Age Gate?

✭✭✭✭✭I do delete my cookies, so I am constantly asked.
I hate it that they know I was born on January 1, 1915. Age discrimination, I tell you. Age discrimination.
P.S. - I have complained about the age gate before, to no effect. It is hard to believe that any attorney would think that this protects them from younglings browsing their website.Edited by Elsonso on January 17, 2015 11:31PMXBox EU/NA:@ElsonsoJannus

More like protects ZoS from some kind of litigation. It is based in the US after all, where frivolous litigation is as common as bacon.
What would be easier though is a "You must be older than X to enter website" message with a "Yes" and "No" option, rather than selecting your birthdate, which I never enter correctly either.
I also have suffered the Age Gate loop on occasion.

Thymos✭✭✭✭✭TBH, it's when I get stuck in a loop is what frustrates me. The fact that the age gate is there isn't the bigger problem, it's that it sometimes is broken.The Older Gamers Recruitment Thread

No, but in the asinine US legal system this mechanic gives ZOS some protection against parents suing them for what their offspring saw.lordrichter wrote: »P.S. - I have complained about the age gate before, to no effect.

Blame a broken civil law system, not ZOS.0 -
Thymos✭✭✭✭✭Perhaps it is my birthday. I put it in still and it wont accept it. 9-11 just doesn't get accepted.
