    I for one thing would like Zenimax to fix the chat Ignore list
    limited? WTH?
    seems to me It should be set to ignore as many as you like - and grow as you go along
    - not like it has to be server side either - it can filter based on a list stored on your computer

    then at least we can keep filtering the sammmers

    Power level to CP160 in a week:
    Where is the end game? You just played it.
    Why don't I have 300+ skill points? Because you skipped content along the way.
    Where is new content? Sigh.

    This is my first post on these forums, how did they get my name in the first place? Is there some name database they were able to exploit? I do understand the actual mailing was through PM's but how the hell did they get all the names to begin with?

    Sounds like a bad database security breach to me.

    @ZOS_JessicaFolsom‌ Hey can you ban this admin for encouraging them to name and shame?

    I know it's to speed it up but if your breaking your own rules here wheres the line going to be drawn next time?

    Really????

    <I removed all your extra blank lines>
    Indeed. I'm all for getting rid of these gold sellers on the forums and in game, but when you start breaking rules to "make something faster" it becomes a slippery slope. I imagine this would have been just as fast to have us PM them the names instead of publicly posting them here...
    [/quote]
    We are talking about gold seller here. Do you really think a gold seller care about being shamed?

    If they really cared about what we think about them, they would not be spamming us with all the crap we are getting...

    Sorry but for me, i have no sympathy for gold seller ... They can rot for eternity in the deepest hole of earth with only their crap for comfort.[/quote]

    I have no sympathy for gold sellers either, the problem is when it's not gold sellers but some other group they "speed up the process" for ...

    breaking the rules here sets a precedent that they can be broken for convenience which I do not agree with.

    The rules of the forum are set up to protect us, the customers. When they violate them in order to make their lives easier it hurts us and it hurts them.[/quote]

    Perhaps its time for you to educate yourself about this situation rather than sprouting your misinformation all over this thread.

    Nobody is breaking any rules here.
    It was specifically said that they made n exception to the rule in this particular case due to very special circumstances.

    The gold sellers are not customers that needs to be protected in any way, they are a menace, a cancer, that needs to be removed.

    I dont see how we as customers are being hurt by ZOS asking us to gt rid of something that is in fact hurting legitimate players.

    If you have a better suggestions then by all mens share it, otherwise I suggest you keep quite because right now you are only making a fool of yourself with your ignorant comments.

    Unless of course you would prefer that the gold sellers just run rampant on both the forums and ingame, in which case your comment makes sense.
    But that would hurt the customers and the game even more.

    To be perfectly honest your comments almost makes it sound to me like you are somehow trying to defend the gold sellers, while trying to make it look as if you are not.
    And just to make it clear, its not an accusation, only an observation based on your comments.

    @ZOS_TristanK, how did this post get added to Dev Tracker?

    It has flag "Developer" set, which triggers it to appear on Dev Tracker.

    It was most likely tagged that way, because the PM's I am receiving are appearing in my IN-GAME mailbox. Not my actual email through the forums. I keep reporting them all over and over again, but they keep sending them every day. There are also two names being associated with each account. So now I am going to be keeping track of this. Wish there was a block user button available in the in-game mail settings.


    Therefore Developers may need to know about it so they can fix their system. But I am not a Developer. I was a Beta tester and a regular gamer like every one else.
    Far too many characters to list any more.
