Hey everyone,
I’ve noticed something that feels a bit off and wanted to see if anyone else has experienced the same thing.
Recently, I’ve been receiving hate whispers from players who are either in offline mode or who have me blocked. As far as I know, if someone’s offline, they shouldn’t be able to send whispers. And if they’ve blocked me then communication should be cut off, right?
It’s really odd and kind of defeats the purpose of having those features if people can bypass them. Has anyone else run into this? Is this a bug or some kind of exploit?
Thanks in advance for any insights!

They can whisper anyone they want while in Offline mode but can't receive any whispers.

There really should be an option to NOT receive whispers from people who are in offline mode. Lately, I’ve had people harassing me while they’re in offline mode, and it’s been pretty frustrating. It doesn’t make sense that someone can hide their status and still have the ability to message you, especially if they’re using it to bother others.
Hopefully, this gets looked at soon because it would definitely help with avoiding unwanted interactions.

You could always just block them in return. Problem solved.

Too bad they can whisper me before I get the chance to block them.

Well, at least not from "that" account. But of course, there are always those with multiple accounts....

It's because ZOS has a policy that you have to tell them not to harass you and they continue.
By doing it from "offline" they can harass away because you can't tell them to stop.

That is for the teabagging and other actions. Hate speech is never allowed.

You could always play in offline mode yourself during pvp and nobody will be able to whisper you.

They won't mail you. Cuz they know that you'd have that to use as proof of harassment. When the threat of a ban hammer looms, they tend to shie away.

It's been awhile, but when I would get a whisper from someone offline, I would mail them a potato. Talk about getting under someone's skin, they play offline for a reason.
