CHALLENGE OF THE MONTH! SCREEN SHOT A GM!

JaJaLuka · January 2016

This month I am making a challenge to the entire community to post photos of Game Master characters in game! I'm not too concerned who it is or what they are doing, what I am trying to do however is determine just how frequently the Game Masters and Devs actually play and experience their game.

Now I know that Game Masters and Developers are different, and I'm aware that it's the GM's that are the only one's with the "GM" symbol beside their name, so shotting a dev may be a harder task, but I'll put it out there all the same just in case.

I would like everyone to post their screen shot of players with the official GM symbol along with the platform they play and server. They seem a rare species to me and I'd like to make a challenge out of it!

SO GO OUT AND GET 'EM!

How do we prove when it was taken? Or, does that matter?

Casdha · January 2016

I've not seen one in game in over a year.

Waffennacht · January 2016

Never seen one, haven't even seen someone trying to pretend to be one

The Elder Scrolls told of their return. The banning was merely a delay. But the time after Oblivion opened, when the cheaters of Skyrim would spill their own code, but no one wanted to believe, believe that they even existed. BUT, there is one they fear, in their tongue he's GM, GAME MASTER!

Been here since early access never saw one. You sure they exist ?

Back in the days of the instantly-respawning jute bug, I used to see GMs in-game regularly. Stonefalls in particular seemed to be full of bots sitting at the nodes, grabbing jute the second it respawned (causing it to instantly respawn again). It was a common sight in those days to see a message across the screen saying that GM so-and-so would be in the zone smiting bots. I used quite enjoy standing on the sidelines spectating while a GM came up and slaughtered the bots.

I also got a whisper from a GM in-game once, but that was him following up on a ticket I had submitted for a quest reward that had bugged and not been given to me (the dwemer spider pet). Today that would never happen. CS in this game has gone downhill far too badly for anyone to ever follow up on a ticket like that.

They can go invisible at will (and are usually like this by default). They're around we just don't see them

I'll be happy to see old shots, but just label them as old

I'm not too concerned about how old they are if I'm honest though. But the more recent the better.

Hehe, that's the whole point of this thread

They used to exist in times of further myth. Now with the daedric spawn of awknvoejhrv and his ilk all but eliminated the GMs ascended back to Aetherius.

Here's one in the wild from 2014

Do they exist?

I haven't seen one in the game since beta.

Despite everything, I miss those days when ESO had loads of players.

MornaBaine · January 2016

Pretty sure they fired all the GMs. I've neither seen nor heard from one in-game in close to a year now, definitely not since the game went B2P.

Yolokin_Swagonborn · January 2016

My high levels of swag have been officially validated by a GM. I know it was a long time ago but I still relive that moment.

Xendyn · January 2016

Haven't seen or heard from one in...forever.

JaJaLuka · January 2016

hehe, that video of the gm just needed the zap! sound to go along with it, like those early 80's sci-fi films.

"One bot down zap!... two bots down..."

Acrolas · January 2016

They're all on GM island and can't escape because slaughterfish stole their gold.

Come over to the dark side. Consoles are pretty active at all times of the day. Ive rarely ran into an Anchor that wasnt swarmed with players within a moment of it appearing. And I cant remember the last time I was in a Delve or Public Dungeon by myself.

RizaHawkeye · January 2016

Assuming they have to have the icon by their name (as the loading screen suggests), I have never, ever, ever seen a gamemaster in this game.

That's pretty awesome. Aren't they supposed to have the Zeni symbol by their name?

Ah, that brings me back to the bad old days when every delve boss had his spawn point permanently camped by as many as 12-20 templar bots who would instantly jab it to death the second it spawned. For an actual human player to manage to tag the boss and get completion/loot was usually a matter of hanging around for several spawns and hoping with each spawn that you could attack fast enough for it to connect before the boss died.

I wish this guy was still around. I keep running across bots, and a week, two weeks after reporting them... they're still tere, running the same circles, making the same instant 90 degree turns, all following the exact same paths. I even provide video evidence with my reports to show the same 2-3 bots all following the exact same pathways, making the same turns at the exact same second... and they're STILL there days later.

That was added later. People were supposedly impersonating GMs.

tinythinker · January 2016

I would like to see them again, too. My last sighting was also back in spring/early summer 2014 when bots were running wild in zones like Stonefalls.

Including that guy. If I remember correctly, GMs actually appeared as level 50, not Vet 1.

Wollust · January 2016

GMs used to pop up quite often every day in low level areas to kick bots and stuff. That was back before the antibot stuff was implemented.

Volkodav · January 2016

I've been ingame since the first and have never seen one.

Rylana · January 2016

I wish i had screens from beta (we were told not to take any, they were watermarked with your email addy anyway)

But I remember GMs sitting in cyro watching PvP. And youd see whole hoards of players chasing them around trying to kill them. But of course, they couldnt be hit. XD
