Honestly I know nothing that anyone does or says about not being able to change your User ID, I just wanted to vent with how frustrating it is.
Its something I would pay up to $20 for its only $10 more to buy a new copy of the game at full price right now, My UserID on eso is something that everyone uses as an insult towards me now and I cant do anything about it at all and its something every one of my friends will see if I add them on the game making it look a lot less valuable to me now.

✭Ask Support and explain the situation. The same way they change other's names because it *may* me offensive to someone they MUST attend if it's a real case kg bullying, which is crime, to be fair to Both sides of the coinI am the very model of a scientist Salarian, I've studied species Turian, Asari, and Batarian.
I'm quite good at genetics (as a subset of biology) because I am an expert (which I know is a tautology).

killzoneftwSoul ShrivenI have spent the last 7 hours sending messages back and forward with support about it and there is nothing they can do apparently. However the staff who didn't seem to just copy and paste responses to the ticket without reading anything sounded like they atleast triedEdited by killzoneftw on January 2, 2017 11:24PM0

killzoneftwSoul ShrivenThat brings me to another point it needs to be offensive to Zenimax support at that point it is a violation even though its clearly a big thing for me as long as its not a racial slur they know of or a blatant swearing it cant be changed, even if it upsets others.. this shouldn't even be a problem that exsistsEdited by killzoneftw on January 2, 2017 11:40PM0

✭That doesn't seem right. I had a friend that was typing to fast and needed to change hers due to being misspelled. It was a long time ago, but they allowed it. I would say keep pestering them. Provide screenshots of you being harassed, maybe that will help. I would be willing to bet that nothing has changed the actually prevents userid's being changed.

now I really wanna know your eso ID (you tease
)...
yeah, 'FutanAhri' means nothing to me...which isn't really all that surprising considering there are people from all different parts of the world, and, different walks of life involved in eso...
two options...either block everyone in the world, or, ask a "friend" to take a screenshot of your name and report you...
does kind of stink customer service won't help you out...I guess there's no way to charge you for the 'service' of an ID name change...PVP Campaigns Section: Playstation NA and EU (Gray Host) - This Must be the Place0 -

It used to be possible. I changed mine about a year ago I think, maybe a little more. It was solved quickly, too, in just a couple of hours, and the support person was super nice during the whole time and apologized several times for the account name change not being something I could change by myself. My account name wasn't offensive or anything, it was just the name of my main character (Aerindel), but I had it changed so that people in my guild would either call me "Gabby" or "Abeille" instead of by my main character's name when I was playing a different character.
For some reason, they stopped doing it. I have no idea why.Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.
Meet my characters:Command: Do the thing.
Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.0 -

I figure they are cutting back on customer support costs. They might still be above industry average.

Dev✭✭✭✭Doesnt the tos have it that if your @name is found offensive, they can make you change it?
just get some friends to file a complaint, even file one yourself.
granted its a longshot, but if all else fails...
You seem to find it bad, and any friend worth having should see your pain and help.1 -

even though its offensive to me and the people around me its not offensive to the common person who has no context I have already expressed my discomfort with it being used against me but I was told theres nothing they can doEdited by killzoneftw on January 3, 2017 12:38AM0 -

Oh I knew as well. As did @Runs with their response. I didn't want to openly admit it. If it's any consolation @killzoneftw , I did say a player who had "futa" in their account name twice so at least you didn't intentionally put it in there.Gold Dragons Guildmaster PC-NACR2000+Kalthar Wolf-Brother – EP Templar - 50 Maeli Valen - EP NB - 50Naps-During-Trials – EP Templar - 50Rulnakh - EP Sorc - 50Azrael Krieg - EP NB – 50Uvithasa Telvanni – EP DK – 50More-Tail - EP Warden - 50Narile Galen - EP Sorc - 50Bone Soldier - EP Necro - 50Naps-During-Trails - EP Necro - 502 -

Stormshaper✭✭✭They *can* still change the USERID if they want to. Along with the suggestions to have the name reported you can also try this:Tell them you accidentally used your real name
I know that seems like a long shot, but it's probably not as much as you'd think. Then if they decline I'd make sure they knew that you *will* be reporting every person who makes derogatory comments at you from that point on.1 -
geonsocal✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭I don't know - the whole issue of "cyber" bullying has a pretty high profile, and, is normally treated very seriously by most companies and organizarions...
I think it might be best to make your point with this in regard to receiving support from zenimax...
I can't imagine too many people would be unable to be sympathetic to just how awful it is to be continously taunted, ridiculed either publicly or privately...
was it simply a "term" which you weren't familiar with that you decided to use?Edited by geonsocal on January 3, 2017 4:27AMPVP Campaigns Section: Playstation NA and EU (Gray Host) - This Must be the Place1 -

howdy @killzoneftw to be honest: killzone whatever sounds a little harsh...hmmmm, maybe something like: killingwithkindness - gotta imagine there be some good karma in eso land coming back on that name
I'll tell what - tough part about getting old, you're medicine cabinet fills up each year with more and more crap to keep your body and mind working...
fortunately though - your soul becomes stronger...after a while you not only realize whom you are (warts and all, inside and out)...but, by the grace of whatever higher power you might have faith in - you accept yourself, maybe even learn to love yourself...
before you know it - there's virtually nothing any one can tell you that will hurt much anymore...
that works for me - except for my god son...he's five, even though I know I'm not being mean when I tell him it's time for bed - he still makes me feel a little guilty...PVP Campaigns Section: Playstation NA and EU (Gray Host) - This Must be the Place0 -

Try this it may work. If you have a guild, try asking them for help, explain your story, and have them file a complain to your @ name. Maybe, ZoS will allow you to change it."We're heroes, my boon companion, and heroes always win! Let that be a lesson to you."
