Lately I have been seeing a lot of people talking trash on the forums who won't say who they are

Zos make all players have there Main Toons name on their post. Will probably clean up the forums when people's in game reputations are on the line. In most cases lol.

    If they're talking trash and too scared to reveal an identity just regard whatever they say as B.S and ignore their comments. Seriously, it's not worth the time worrying about it.

    People will be trolls anyway, I really don't think they care what name was used, unless someone is making legitimate threats and is purposely trying to be anonymous.

    Also, some of us linked our ESO accounts to our PS4 accounts (or whatever platform) and happen to have a different name in the forums. *points at self* "Exhibit A". I created an ESO account for beta on Mac/PC before the game came out and then linked it to my PS4 when I got the game so it kept my username as you see in the forums and I didn't feel like making a new account (with a different email) to match my PS4 gamertag.

    Ths reminds me of the days where Dshotz had an EP alt named "Warz Mommy". After wiping Warz and his group he would log on his alt and torment him in zone chat haha.

    There was also a time where we had a 3 hour chalman fight with EP defenders constantly dropping troll camps the whole time . When the AD finally started to quit and go to bed he said screw it and him and several other players all jumped on their alts and made it to Chalman and ended up leeching a ~28K D tick from them.

    We all use fake names, our gamer tags, @names, toon names and forum handles are fabricated.

    And while my professional and community reputation is everything to me, the idea that I should protect my "in game reputation" when posting on the forums made me laugh. Literally lol'd.

    Remember when Blizzard wanted to force people to use their real names on the WOW forums?

    http://www.theguardian.com/technology/blog/2010/jul/12/blizzard-warcraft-real-names-retreat


    This is such a terrible idea. Exposing people's real names or even character names would only lead to harassment.

    Lol. No. I don't get why people don't want for people to know who they are. Dude got asked in the other thread who he was in game because he was talking trash. Wouldn't admit it. Lol. Happens all the time.

    I just finished leveling an AD to contribute to balancing. Even with the experience buffs still was brutal. They really should allow faction changes. Make it expensive but do it.

    Well

    What about folks (like me) who don't have "a main"?

    What about folks who play console - and their character name is NOT displayed ingame - the account name is the only "real" name that's potentially recognizable.

    For that matter why worry about people talking trash anyway. Such folks are not worth taking seriously.
    Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
    Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
    Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.
    ***
    Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
    House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
    Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis

    Are you mental?

    The ONLY purpose this would serve is so people could go and abuse people in game. Counter productive springs to mind. "Listen up folks, those good people that trash talk on the forums can now do it in game too..." Bravo!

    Where art thou, my beloved LOL button?!!!

    Seriously though, what? How on earth could that even work, I mean lots of people change who their "main" is. As much as ZOS changes sh** around here, I know lots of mains get deleted or put aside. Tell me how ZOS is gonna know and then change their names for them on the forums every time they change mains? This is just the first thing wrong with this idea lol!

    Alot of ppl already use their main as their name... I am one. Isn't gonna stop me from telling you that you're dumb if you are lmao! What exactly is there to really hide behind? What purpose could it possibly serve? Not a good one, guaranteed.
