Please give an easier way to report people [console]

OutLaw_Nynx

I play on PS4. The only way to report someone is to go to the options and manually type in someone's name. Usually I'm reporting a bots/afkers/gold sellers Majority of the time the names are like "jaiah71haga" or something of the like.

I would like to be able to report someone when I click on their name from options already shown. We can easily block someone but reporting is a chore at times on console. I'm bringing this up because right now in Reaper's March someone is spamming like every 2 seconds advertisement for selling gold and buying gold to some site.

This! Was a ton of bots in bleakrock heavy desto attacking then buffing up after each heavy. This was obvious. But to report these 10 players I would need to take a video then type each name out and attach the video to it as proof. This was on xb1 NA.

You know what I did? I moved away and said screw if bc I only have an hour or so a day to play and I'm not wasting it on this. If ZoS really didn't want bots and gold sellers in the game they make things a little bit better to report them.

If you're on console MS and Sony have a much lower tolerance for cheating than ZOS does. Plus you get to brick their console. A bricked console would make them think a lot more than the $10 to get them another account.

I don't think they brick consoles for that though

I just reported a gold seller today on ps4....it felt exhilarating!

I eventually ended up blocking the person spamming. I was doing my crafting stuff in Reaper's and I just couldn't take it anymore

Just put them on ignore. The report function is useless. These people are not stupid; they likely don't operate on their main accounts or home IP addresses, and that's assuming they even still play the game themselves. I have friends that have done it in the past and at no point did they ever consider getting caught an issue. Even if these people get banned, they'll just spend another what, $15 or less to get a new game and account? I assume that's nothing compared to what they probably make by the time ZOS catches them. It's the same crap on SWTOR, but even more spamming.

Reporting is two slow, as you can easily make new Xbox accounts and I'm assuming it's the same for PS4 accounts. They need an algorithm to automatically spot and block them. If it is more trouble for ZOS to find, Investigate and ban them, than it is for the gold sellers to make a new account then ZOS has lost.

Plus the accounts which are advertising won't be th accounts which are delivering anyhow. So they have so punish the buyers, by following the trail of gold. As long as their is a demand, there will be a supply, and that leaves us with darn annoying spam on our chat channels

This is getting out of hand again on XboxEU, it was just about three months ago that there was one spamming chat with details of selling gold and the website to google to buy it (its a very well known gaming currency selling website). I reported that one and took a screeny of the chat and passed it onto ZOS. To be honest i never saw anymore of these kind of messages after that.

Then two days ago out of the blue another one appears spamming chat (advertising the same website) at Craglorn, this went on for hours on end, I'm not exaggerating when i say it was at least five hours and it was less than every five minutes this message would appear.

The zone was up in arms about it and judging by peoples reactions many of them were reporting the offender and rightly so. We need a quicker way to report players via the text chat tool, I personally have seen racially abusive chats, chats wishing terminal illness on gamers and their relatives etc, as well as the gold sellers. At present the player reporting system is in need of a dire overall, it could be so much better, user friendly and faster.

Yeah it is really frustrating to go through all these steps over and over again. Something should be done to make it easier.
