    During the anniversary it is also polite to not attack people that may be farming in PVP areas that don't fight back. Please ensure they fight back by hitting them once or twice to see if they are willing PVP participants.

    This is also appropriate in Imperial City.

    Barf. No.

    It is PVP - you go there and you might die. A lot. (and I usually leave people alone because I cba, but still - no expectations of that and it's wrong to expect anything like that.)

    If someone gets upset at a character crouching on their face, why should I or anyone care? Sounds harsh, but seriously, why should anyone care?

But then someone gets unreasonably upset at something as petty as teabagging we suddenly everyone should be forced to cater to that person??

    Aight Captain Obvious, keep your panties on.

    Because the majority of people who use it don't just do it as a one-time thing; they do it to specific targetted players because they know it upsets them. To me, that isn't funny. I don't roll like that in-game.

    You may not 'care' about your fellow players, I happen to. Each to their own and all that.

    Dont like being targeted in PVP? Dont play PVP. Being targeted is simply the risk of playing PVP. Dont want trolls targetting you because you dont like teabagging? Dont whine to them about being teabagged. "Dont feed the troll" used to be internet 101...

    I care about if a player is being reasonable. Being offended does not *automatically* mean the entire MMO community should cater to you. I'm not arguing that teabagging isnt immature, it certainly is, but I greatly oppose the idea people should be *forced* to behave mature or else get banned.

    This is ESO. Maturity isn't a word this community understands so that would never happen. :dizzy:

    I have already stated that I couldn't give a rat's ass if someone does it to me, but if it upsets someone else and affects their gameplay, then they have every right to report it. You say about catering, yet your posts just say nothing but 'put up or shut up'. So if that's the case, why should they care about you and your opinion, equally? What makes your opinion more valid? "Don't feed the trolls" - ...bro, seriously? Stepping into a PVP area doesn't give somebody else the right to bully or harrass you. It's not about being 'mature', there's a fine line between being cheeky and being a *** person.

    I don't understand anything anymore :neutral:

    Because not everyone's the same and some take it more differently than others

    Then why 10 years ago everyone would just laugh at these petty actions. I'm only noticing people getting bothered by everything these past couple years. Especially here in North America. It's going backwards here and people are sensitive to everything. I miss working in Europe sometimes. People there don't care about stupid crap, laugh and just live their lives as best they can.

    It has been said by some that people laughed 10 years ago because they were not enlightened. Same for women's suffrage, etc.

    How can you even compare woman’s suffrage to a video game unless you are of course trolling.

    This game at its core has slavery built in, oppression of certain races and imperialism with races going on conquests to take over lands and enforce its ideas, laws and beliefs and others.

    You seem to want to compare in game actions of players to real life actions/feelings but all of these in real life are deemed highly offensive and wrong/illegal yet you still play the game and take no offensive at these parts?

    he's always trolling and never shuts up when he should.

    A more appropriate way to deal with your fallen adversary that does not require T-bagging(Sexual harassment) is the use of the /sweep emote.

    If you are calling THIS sexual harassment - you do not know what that even is. You need to back up the hyperbole really. You make light of anyone who actually has been sexually harassed with this bullshiiii.

    Every right to report it? Sure, you can report anything, but that doesnt mean one bit that ZoS should act on it.

    I advocate asking people not to teabag, or convince them, or whatever. But I oppose ZoS banning them, aka forcing the community to cater to people getting unreasonably offended. Not all opinions are equal in truth, do you realize that?

    Bully? Harrass? Define those terms. If some calls me a noob or tells me to "git gud" , is that bullying? If I get offended, should I report them? Should ZoS act on that report?

    LOL so if someone dies, and gets tbagged suddenly they have been harassed and bullied? Not really, no.

    This.

    Is.

    Beyond idiotic.


    No, let me rephrase that. Back in the 90s, then we had level 80 idiocy. Things like a first grader being suspended for kissing another first grader on the cheek, because obviously sexual harassment (obviously!).

    This is more like...level 20 stupidity, casually grinding its way forward. An electronic character is crouching over another electronic character, with no nudity or *** involved - which, by the way, is yet another kind of immature stupid, but I suppose that's the trend these days (at least among emotional ten year olds) - and someone is seriously inquiring whether this is a reportable offense or if it constitutes sexual harassment?!

    For the sake of those posters, I am going to assume that you all are just trolling the forums. Or, alternatively, have a quest where one must fulfill every negative millennial generation stereotype in return for an extra 50 likes on...some thing or another.


    Incidentally, I've been - and I've said this before - PVPing in MMOs since the mid-90s (MUDs back then, of course, but graphical MMOs not too long after). Every single PVP MMO environment I've ever seen is going to include between 20% and 90% emotionally immature idiots (in one notable instance, the admins themselves, god-moding into the middle of a fight and decapitating/silencing/immobilizing people permanently - or until they got bored and restored the characters - "for lulz").

    I suspect this is due to the combination of apparent anonymity (superficially speaking, i.e. viz. other users and not the actual service provider), and no negative feedback to most actions in most instances. It's the same as with the idiots jumping on Twitter/Reddit/whatever threads threatening to *** and murder someone. If you were talking to them face to face, nine out of ten they'd shut it, and in the tenth case they'd get kicked in the teeth sooner or later. But online...yes. And then when you add in the PVP "I ganked you! l33t r0x0rz!" environment, I have to believe the effect is magnified, it certainly has been in my personal experience.

    So again. This is how life works. This is the world we live in. And this particular action is wholly, utterly meaningless (and for the 0.000001% who will flip out at watching one electronic character crouch over another because of some prior traumatic experience - perhaps they ought to consider not engaging in "realistic-looking" MMO PVP in the first place, because who the hell knows what else is going to trigger them). Grow a bloody pair, and this includes the women of the assemblage (metaphors! ha!).

    Now if you all will excuse me, there is a particularly cheerful looking cloud I must yell at.

    Well now, that was certainly a spirited defense of an action that is meant to irritate. :)

    Reporting someone for T-bagging is nothing more than whining and crying because you got beat...


    As opposed to celebrating by bobbing up and down on someone's face. How gracious a victor that makes you!

    I don't do it - but who are you to judge what's appropriate or not?

    How do you know someone isn't tbagging their friend and WHY is it any of your business?

    Heh, I agree partially but not when it's me on the receiving end. I am my own best friend and neither of us cares to be subject to it. If everyone else wants to dangle their bits, well...okay for them, I guess. :)

    Well, EU is following in your footsteps quite rapidly these days.

    Governments. Most citizens in Europe don't want it and successfully prevent their countries from becoming so PC and SJW infested. Another mentality I'd say, we're not offended by every meaningless crap.

    I find it absolutely laughable that someone calls t-bagging sexual harrassment. That's wrong on so many levels.

    How can the squating movement be bannable?

    If so, then it should not be allowed in the game as in you should be allow to crouch and the animation shouldnt be there.

    If tbagging offends, get up...maybe get mad but not really necessary, and get them back. Single them out in a zergb and repeat the action over them

    Pay it forward

    Or see the notion as something else, as GG (good game) rather than typing it they are saying gg to you
