What are some of the best or worst player names you have come across in ESO?

Seen a couple "Alt 1" :Alt 2" Etc... I guess its too hard to put effort into.

This is why I love games that include a random name generator... of course they need to automatically exclude already used names (which is the problem with the one in SWTOR).

It's not cool to call out players like this, and it certainly isn't helping the eso "community". I'm surprised this thread isn't closed yet.

Following your logic the thread about gold sellers should also be closed, because they are calling out on gold sellers.

Those names are very often a violation of the terms of use everyone agreed on. Just like gold selling.

Note that for an Argonian "Fart loudly" is pretty lore friendly.

For those names that do violate the TOS is there a way to report the person in game?

Only those the enjoy ruining others play experiences report names.

Only those who enjoy ruining others play experiences use names that need reporting.

Which is entirely subjective, but in my experience what I said earlier is the usual case.

My point is everything involving an online game is subjective. Activity you might consider "no big deal" can disrupt the playability for another. That is why game designers put in limits in gameplay and why game publishers put out code of conducts and EULAs. Regrettably EULAs have become so... legalease... that ignoring them and not reading them has become habitual but ultimately parts of them are there to keep everyone happy or at least as many as can be.

To your specific point, it has been my experience that people that report names do so out of frustration after seeing yet another expletive filled or lore breaking or just plain unreadable name after another. It has nothing to do with ruining anyone else's play because the worst that ever happens is they are forced to rename their character... it is about having their own play ruined.

But does it even matter? You cant see names unless you are actively looking at said person, and if a name you cant see somehow offends you because its another Legolas, just unclick the focus and voila no name to see.

Oh agreed, that is why not having nameplates is a good thing, it is also why I haven't bothered reporting any names in this game. I am only expanding on my opinions on the subject because there is still active discussion about enabling nameplates and setting the boundaries and expectations now will save a lot of people a lot of problems if they do.

Personally I like the no nameplates, thats more immersion breaking than XXXLegolasXXX

I was thinking more along the lines of offensive names in the chat not in the game world.

thenumbersix

thenumberSIX...so glad i could reserve it on beta...had it for my account name, but some one had a toon with that name, so I made sure to grab it right away on early access. been using it on a few games for quite a while...tho those games are not important to name, for you will only see me on eso here on.

Valen75

I saw a Fippy Darkpaw but that was me. It may ring a bell to some of the oldest here

Stormcrow

This is a funny thread ... "The ***" "Booty Raider" "Scooma Addict" Truth be told anyone with an inappropriate name of handle i have reported, I cant stomach bad languages in what should otherwise be a mature game

Love the name but, that is the Argonian<sp> naming style. Khajit would be DiesVery'often

Only those the enjoy ruining others play experiences report names.

Only those who don't care about the game would use those names in the first place.

PurpleDrank

I've actually been shocked at the number of lore friendly names I've been seeing. Really did expect a lot more crass or ripped off names (or the completely random string of words names).

On a related note, does anyone know if we have a limit on how many people we can have on ignore? Between the gold sellers and the morons in chat I'm getting a decent collection going.

Only people Ive reported so far are gold sellers. If someone annoys me in game. I simply block them.

Vilified

I giggled last night when I saw a female Argonian near the stables named "A-Lusty-Maid", if IIRC in the betas there was an Argonian named "Desirable-Housekeeper" too.. wonder if it's the same player.

teonimesic

Im pretty sure that when the game releases for Xbox, Xbox Go Home is gonna be on the list of most hated

JKorr

Something with kitty and four letters starting with fu and ending ck. Unfortunately they ran past and used the wayshrine before I could report the full name. There were a few other names that caught my attention, but none as bad as that first one.

ImNewHere

I got the following names and have no intention on using them so you will not be seeing then in game:

Legolas Greenleaf
Voldemort
Dumbledor
Albus Dumbledor
Weasley

Pygmalion

I am assuming you know of the book? Many argonian players seem to like to use The Lusty Argonian Maid as a reference for their name.

stjobe

I saw an Argonian named Sleeps-with-the-fishes, which I thought was rather creative.

BlackDeathMurderer1 was also interesting, I wonder why he felt the need to put the "1" at the end there; was BlackDeathMurderer already taken?

Generally though, I haven't seen all that many cringe-worthy names (BDM1 there was probably the worst offender), but I've seen a lot of lore-friendly and good names.

Ah well, it'll all change come Friday...
