In-game player-to-player harrasment

Please read before you make your judgement.

So, I was running a dungeon earlier today for a pledge. We we're doing fine. We came up to a boss, and we died a few times. Ok. this person proceeds to call me names. I leave the dungeon, and he continues to whisper me, calling me names, and telling me other stuff. I put him on ignore. 5 mins later, not sure if it was him or not, someone whispers me again, and I would call it harassment.

What did I do? I didn't dodge roll fast enough out of stuff because I'm a healer, and my stamina is low, and I use Magicka pots, (ok I could have switched to stam potion) So I was getting killed. I know the mechanic, but with all the factors added in, (tank not facing away, people clumped up, its hard to tell when to dodge roll, or who the boss is targeting.)

I just want to play the game, and have fun. Not get harassed by people who have nothing better to do then belittle other people for a Game. I know wiping can be frustrating, but there are 3 other people who factor into the situation for the wiping.

    Harassment via whispers isn’t okay. Report the player, and move on. That being said, if you did indeed die a lot, there might be something wrong with your build or some survival strategies you still need to learn. As a healer, dodge-rolling isn’t the only way to defend yourself. What’s your class? Are you using magicka shields? Are you eating health+magicka food?

    I wouldn't call this silly. This person is taking the fun out of the game for the op. Not cool and harassment is totally worth reporting.

    Report him and ignore him. If somebody else whispers you report and ignore them too. Never blame yourself or think you could prevent the harassment. People that harass others like that are just looking for an excuse to do it. It is THEM, not you.

    Naw to be fair though, games always bring the full spectrum of humanity, just put the person on ignore or report and move on, do not let it get to you.

    I read all the comments. I was using tri stat food. Was using shields from mage and resto. I’m a Templar. Was using the increased physical resistance. And etc etc

    No I won’t return fire lol. I mean I could but I don’t stoop to that kind of stuff I’m getting older, I’m 28. Not 16 anymore haha. I used to. Thick skin yea I have. I raid in another game on Mythic, progressing on a boss with over 500 guild raid wipes. I can take Critism, but only when it’s actually thought out criticism.

    I wouldn't whisper, I'd just straight up zone chat it.

    Lol joking

    I only rage in PvE when we've spent hours trying to do a mechanic and a player just doesn't get outta the red fast enough.

    Not just 1,2 or even 3 wipes, but I mean HOURS, then I rage and leave the group

    Report and ignore.

    The ignore part comes from the start and does not require use of the ignore list.

    Players who are annoying like that, they do it to try to make themselves feel like they are a better player when in reality they are just an average joe with a pathetic life.

    They generally stop harassing if they do not get a response. If you do respond they know they are getting under your skin and they get their jollies from it.

    Sorry to tell ya this but ZOS wont do anything about harassment. I tried to get some help with players attacking me, saying my buddies should die, and threatening others but still they didn't do anything (I even sent photos). ZOS never responded back and they continued to attack me for months. The only thing that got them to leave me alone was one was eventually banned for posting someone's home address in zone chat and the other is in jail currently.

    This sums up these sort of people perfectly. Just put them on ignore and move on. Look at it this way: it's them with the problem, not you. It's bothering them so much that they are taking time out of their day to keep on at it, all taking themselves way too seriously.

    It's just a game and just their problem. When we get hate whispers, my husband and I have a good giggle at their expense!

    I do the same for most even have made a few buddies for talking it out with them but the difference is the two I'm referring to were my former GMs. The best way for me to put it, old friends make the worst enemies.

    Ignore and learn to dodge. I can understand their frustration when you are healer and don't dodge the attacks from the spider. I did report such players a couple of times in the past but it's not worth your or ZOS's time to deal with this kind of people. Also listen to the advice above and don't join random groups. Join a PVE guild instead. Plenty of casual guilds out there for pledges and dungeon farms.

    OK! if FUN is what you want...
    No PUGs unless you can already face roll the content, sorry.
    Call out for a "fun run" to take pictures and/or learn mechanics...
    you will end up in the dungeon with the people you are looking for.
    B)
    & Join a casual guild that's active the same online times as you.
    Good Luck!

    Do any of those special snowflakes know that the healer must be revived asap? And that must be done by one of the DDs. It's a common sense rule in every MMORPG, but no, people must blame the healer for everything to cover their fault. Report him/her for harassment, there is no excuse for being an a-hole to someone else for any reason.

    Ignore and report. Don't feed these a-holes. They only get satisfaction if you react in some way. It is hard not to react to these sorts of people, tho. Been down that road a few times with people harrassing me.
