Maintenance for the week of November 25:
• PC/Mac: NA and EU megaservers for maintenance – November 25, 4:00AM EST (9:00 UTC) - 7:00AM EST (12:00 UTC)
• Xbox: NA and EU megaservers for maintenance – November 27, 6:00AM EST (11:00 UTC) - 9:00AM EST (14:00 UTC)
• PlayStation®: NA and EU megaservers for maintenance – November 27, 6:00AM EST (11:00 UTC) - 9:00AM EST (14:00 UTC)

Was it ever confirmed if "tea-bagging" is against TOS now?

    Still so much talking about something Gina already made pretty clear.

    As with many things in-game, context is very important. The act of standing and squatting over another NPC or character to teabag them can be considered a form of harassment which can be a violation of the Terms of Service (ToS). As with all forms of harassment, if a player asks you to stop a behavior, you need to stop. If you continue to teabag someone that asks you to stop, that is a violation of the ToS and may lead to your account being suspended or even permanently banned. Hope this helps clear things up

    People who claim that they are afraid to PvP just because they might be tbagged, would not start to PvP even if tbagging was prohibited. They will be offended by any other thing just the same. PvP is very social, but very aggressive playstyle at the same time. My favourite part is IC - there is so much social stuff going on :) Respectable enemies, random enemies, disrespectable enemies who get signs of my disrespect ;)

    There is so many ways to taunt/show disrespect to player when they deserve it - tbagging is just the fastest and easiest way (can be done even in combat).
    There are also stylish emotes. I can even use slow walking... Extra gucci if I have "Heroic" personality equipped, walking over fallen enemy like a IC flag boss B)

    People who regularly play PvP, have already explained many times what tbagging means in the game and why it's done. Gina carefully stated that it's acceptable, unless somebody politely asks to stop it. How many people will actually whisper to somebody in polite way, something like "please, stop teabagging me"?

    Fellow PvP players, just keep playing like usually and showing respect/disrespect when deserved. We can't help people who choose to be offended and see "harrassment' in simple PvP action.
    Thread is pretty much over o:)

    Meh, I don't think you need to be polite about asking. "Stop" is pretty hard to misinterpret, no matter what other wording accompanies it.

    Of course, if someone is so impolite that they break the TOS themselves, you can both stop teabagging AND report them for TOS-breaking language.

    You can also choose not to disrespect fellow human beings. And as a fellow PVPer I can tell you, you are in the minority by choosing not to. ;)
