Do we really have to datamine everything?

I expected some puzzling stories, discoveries and putting pieces together from the hints the developers would give us... But instead everything got datamined 
Way to ruin some fun and excitement from guessing have some patience people. It's fine to datamine something but to find out what the whole chapter is? 
come on...

✭✭You might as well try to stop a tsunami at the shoreline of the beach by standing there with your arm thrust out in front of you.
People are going to do whatever, and as much as, they possibly can to unearth information before it is made officially available. Asking them to not do so will fall on deaf ears, if it doesn't incite them to flaunt it in your face for daring to ask that they stop.3 -

No new crafting or game systems for 2019? "Season of the Dragon" would be better named "The Year of no New Major Features"

Ruinhorn✭✭✭✭Because it's way too obvious players will datamine everything with every new patch note. What's the point to put these files in the main game client then? Want to make a surprise? Do not disclose yourself then.6

They wouldn’t be the only devs that do this or implement placeholders to prepare for future dlc. It’s up to the community to act like they have some patience. At least leave some of it up to speculation rather than confirming it.

THIS. Exactly. How on Hell someone has come to think that putting the formal announcement of the new chapter in something dataminable was a clever thing, [snip]?...

Maybe to an extent just to get people talking. This is why devs rarely deny or don’t deny rumors for the sake of the discussion and hype. Although they still have planned announcements (recent events makes this more apparent) and promotions. Can’t “put the pieces together” if the main parts are leaked , everything else is just filler.

iiYuki✭✭✭✭✭People want to know about whats next, spoilers and up coming stuff. I guess some people dont like it but its hardly shoved in your face, most posts discussing it will include datamined or leaked in the title."Play how you want... unless its not how we intended you to play in which case we'll nerf it".

✭✭✭✭✭As far as I'm concerned, datamining is only a very short step removed from hacking. Fair enough, and if that's how some get their jollies then so be it but at least please leave it off public forums and keep it to yourselves. Those who are interested in such things will know where to find it. I would also hope that any threads leaking advance information will be deleted as promptly as some others are.5 -

None ever are deleted though. Makes one wonder if the info isn't purposefully put there for dataminers to find and leak.2 -

If enough people report such threads they may get deleted.
The problem is that you can't avoid them even if you want to. The first one may have a spoiler alert in the title but from then on every other thread will have giveaway information in the title so you can't get away from the information even if you don't read the thread.0 -
Claudman✭✭✭✭✭Hype generates revenue. (And datamining can create hype)
I was scared that it might be a dumb Dragon Break, but now knowing what it's going to be about...
Let's just say that ZoS has my money.Edited by Claudman on January 6, 2019 5:22PMWelcome, Moon-and-Star, to this place where destiny is made.
I play healers or DPS often for vet dungeons and trials (NA, CP810+). I play mostly elves or Argonians.
I primarily play Damage-Based stuff in PvP, but occasionally I'll play something tanky or got the heals.
I also love gaining more knowledge both metaphysical and mundane regarding TES lore.
I also occasionally role-play, but I prefer playing the game.0 -

I guess the questions now are:
1. Have the threads been reported in great numbers?
2. If so has ZoS ignored these pleas and kept them open and why?
3. Are they not being reported in great numbers because the masses want the juicy details on everything and want them now!0 -

✭✭✭The slow trickle doesn't add excitement. It is annoying and underwhelming at each step. It is a steady stream of disappointment punctuated by an announcement of what everyone has already figured out. If you can't keep a secret until the final moment, just announce it early.1 -

Because they have a expectation that people will follow the terms of service. Datamining is hacking the client which is a violation of TOS. Notice that dataminers are usually from places that is difficult for the tos to be enforced.

Yea but c'mon. They're not exactly shutting down threads linking this stuff, posting pics, and talking about all the details ad nauseum now are they?
