I can't believe there are so thick headed people who bother posting such useless comments.

You know very well that there's more to T-bagging than just "a few pixels of crouch/uncrouch".
So far this thread (which I haven't started, by the way..) has been constructive and there's been a fair, clean and interesting exchange of divergent points of view on the subject, don't start ruining it.

A fair, clean and interesting exchange of divergent points of view about video game characters crouch/uncrouch each other? Did I enter the twilight zone? Sheesh. It's must be a Millennial thing. "Tell the bullies how they hurt your feelings."

uhm.... What is tea bagging? Sry ive never heard that term before lol

Vangy · September 2015

Also from what ive read it seems to be crouch un crouch on someone after thyre dead. So why is this called tea bagging?

anitajoneb17_ESO · September 2015

@Vangy : You'd know if you had read the thread. I explained already.

It's supposed to mimic how you force-feed your victim's mouth with (your) masculine "parts". Which are called "tea-bags" due to some geometrical resemblance....

@NDwarf : if you think this thread is not interesting to you, please do not participate in it.

I remember when I first started playing PvP, I would see my enemy move up and down on me all the time. I got my first kill and did the same. The person I killed contacted me and said, "That is not very classy". I responded, "What are you talking about?". They replied, "You T-Bagged me, ....". I had to giggle a little after I found out it was called, "T-Bagging"

Am I the only one that does not get offended by T-Bags or someone calling me a fangirl/fanboy?

When i play PvP I take the game serious, I want to destroy all the ADs and EPs. They are my enemy and i really don't care how they feel if I T-Bag them.

I do remember a moment, where someone from AD was pounding on me, and lucky me one of my alliance members saved me, and we ended up killing him. I walked over and gave the dead AD a T-Bag and then sat in a chair next to him. Oops, Big mistake! His buddy was hiding behind me with a big Axe. In the end, I was the one laying on the ground dead, being T-Bagged.

Enjoy the game don't worry about little things like T-Bagging!
ESO please do not nerf T-Bagging.

If you're female as your name suggests then the preferred term for it is flap slap or clam slam depending on what part of the world you're in . I've tbagged and been tbagged in pvp for years now it's just a giggle but usually it's reserved for rivals or friends. In eso I use guffaw emote or facepalm for fail gankers. They deserve a nutdip anyway

omg, flap slap.

Well for the record, I was good this weekend. For the respect of other players, I did not flap slap/ tea bag anyone. Even though I really really really wanted to tea bag EPs Emp.

Instead, I danced and prayed over the dead. Please tell me this is ok.

However, I did get tea bagged this weekend. Thanks EP!

That's perfectly OK. And thank you !

I teabag people if they teabag me.

I also teabag people who try to gank me and I end up killing them.

If my mage's wrath kills them and they're a pile of ash, I'll get the broom emote out.

If they die face down, I'll do the push up weak emote on them.

I played a lot of cod. Teabagging really doesn't bother me at all.

warpower9 · September 2015

This was always done in a couple previous mmo's I played so I guess I had the wrong outlook on it. Yes I did it before, but have recently quit for good after one finding out is was against rules here two reading posts like these. Actually feel better for quitting doing it. Also nice to know about the /bow thing saw it a couple times , laying dead tbh, and was like wtf is that! Kinda makes my day now....

Another good post read ty guys.

RDMyers65b14_ESO · September 2015

I was *** as a child, so if I see you teabagging, (or doing push ups on a corpse) no matter which faction (I have reported guildies), you WILL BE REPORTED! As a nearly 50 year old woman, I find it to be horribly offensive.

Things like pray, sweeping and digging don't bother me because they are not ***.

Damn. Didn't think tea bagging was such srs bsns. I reserve my tea baggings to my friends who die in PvE, who usually burst in laughter in TeamSpeak when they notice it. I don't mind if someone tea bags me in PvP. I think of it more as an expression of: "Hey! I beat you!" than "omg lol u suck wtf noob". Not much different than the game telling me: "You died."

That said, in my opinion, good fights should end in /salute, /shovel or /bow or the kind, rather than tea bagging, but come on guys. If seeing another players character sneak and un-sneak above your characters corpse is too much to handle, maybe you're the one with a problem.

P.S. Mind posting the part about tea bagging in CoC? I'm seriously interested.

- NO, I won't bother looking in the CoC. But what I know for sure is that some people received warnings about teabagging from ZOS. Those were posted here as screenshots by the people who received them. Unfortunately the thread was deleted since it's not allowed to discuss disciplinary measures on the forum.

- I'm really tired of explaining over and over again that just because something is OK for you it doesn't have to be OK for everyone else, and you know just as well as I do that 95% of teabagging isn't meant to be nice, it's meant to be humiliating. Even if it is not always meant that way, there's no shame in adapting one's own behaviour in order to respect other people's sentivity, even if it differs from one's own.

- You also know very well that teabagging is not a simple combination of "crouch/uncrouch", it's meant to mean "I r a p e you to humiliate you just in case being killed by me is not enough an humiliation. I just want to make sure you feel really bad". And it works : nobody posts on the forum saying "he shoveled me for all the wrong reasons... "

Now I'm not stupid either, I understand that among PvPers it's part of a "code" and it's not meant to be taken that literally and it can mean plenty of things, some of those things being quite nice or just gently teasing. However, there are a lot of non-dedicated PvPers who currently join the fun of IC and they don't know this "code".

Let me just tell you what happened 2 nights ago with one of my guildies (and she's a 30sthg grown up woman, teacher IRL, so not a kid and not some kind of oversensitive fragile soul). She went to IC with us, we were a small group. Unfortunately she was cornered in a 1v1 fight and we were too busy with mobs to come to her rescue on time. Against all odds, she won that fight and it happened that her opponent had 1K+ Tel Var stones, so she inherited all those stones. Few seconds later she received a ton of insults per whisp from this opponent.

Now she refuses to join any kind of PvP again, no matter how much we insist nor how much fun she actually had there. She simply says "I'm not playing this game to get insulted, nor to hurt people so deeply that they might react this way." (And don't tell me nor her that "she should... whatever" because she won't. She was deeply shocked by the violence of the opponent's reaction).

There's no teabagging involved in this anecdote but it shows the real cultural gap between PvPers and PVEers. I believe that bringing both populations together is good thing for everyone, but for it to be successful I think PvPers should adapt a bit and drop some of their most agressive practices, among others teabagging.

So what does your friend tell pupils at her school when someone is bullying a kid for doing something they enjoy?

"Pack it in and do something else?"

I can't even believe so many people are bothered by it.

It's so trivial and really not an issue.

Stick and stones and all that.

Nivzruo_ESO · September 2015

Report all you want, I tea bag any dead person I see, if I've killed them or not even my own faction.

Brrrofski · September 2015

Oh, I also teabag people on my team who steal my treb when I jump off to heal. If he die while on it, he's getting teabagging.

Vangy · September 2015

Wait so let me get this right:

People are pissed because... someone kills them and then crouches/uncrouches on their body... To me this has no meaning but they view this as said "teabagging" and because of this they get annoyed? Thats like saying u feel that pole dancing is slutty and because of this the whole world shouldnt pole dance...

Someone is crouching and uncrouching on ur body thats it. Dont think about it as tea bagging. Problem solved. I mean what other solution is there? Start banning everyone who does it? Try to change people who do it? Neither of those options i think are gona work...

Edited for clarity

Actually, it HAS worked as I have not seen the one that I reported twice (and I know of three others who reported him) in well over a week and I PVP daily and have been fighting the same group of people almost every time. So, either he has been taught a lesson or he's gone.

- Expressing one's opinion in any place doesn't mean you try to change the world or change people, it just means expressing oneself and some listeners/readers might be interested in a different point of view and maybe freely change their own behaviour, who knows ?

- I don't see any point of comparison between poledancing and teabagging. Poledancing is meant to be pleasant for the eyes and to trigger some hormones, but nothing about it is meant to be offensive.

- Of course denying the very meaning of teabagging and intellectually pretend the character/player is just doing his morning gym without any offensive intention is a wise and clever trick, but it is nonetheless just a trick and does not change the initial meaning of teabagging and the offensive intention behind it.

BatterStick · September 2015

It's quite funny when you cry over getting T-bagged in a video game. I'm sure that's why people do it, mainly for the people that whine... I would do the same.

Or, he changed campaigns, or you have not run into him again, or he changed play times, or he is playing an alt.. or there are not only 10 players on your campaign. Geeez, seriously? No.. no one was banned for T-Bagging, get real.Heck, known exploiters who got scrolls behind locked gates dont even get banned. Instead, they had to erect a special barrier to prevent the exploit.

Im not saying tbagging is right. But what I am saying is that there is virtually nooooo way to stop this from happening unless we start banning no? So since we cant stop it why not just let it go and not make it a big deal. Im sure if everyone stopped reacting to it and just let it go, the people who do it will have no reason to do it. Its kinda like they are baiting you to pm them with a raGE qq comment. The analogy with the pole dancing was to bring out this idea described above. Like some people do find pole dancing offensive here in Asia. But we cant stop it so we just let it go and pretend like it dosent exist lol. Sry for the confusion.

People can do whatever.. Just accept your T-bag and quit trying to sound like "Nancy grace".

Oh yes, I know, there are plenty of people out there who feel encouraged to do something just because they know it might annoy others. They're called "keyboards heroes", and rest assured that we are all shivering in fear of meeting you anywhere, being online or IRL. Your power and strength are just fascinating.

haha high 5 emily. That was possibly me sneaking from the shadows with the big axe followed by the gesture of t-bagging.

HIIIIIII

haha honestly I agree with you 100% about t-bagging, I think it's just amusing.

However what I don't agree with is I am not looking to destroy all enemies. I notice some players in IC or even Cyrodiil who are maybe not so experienced and looking for a skyshard or doing a quest, or exploring.. I will usually leave them alone as I don't need an easy kill. I prefer a challenge.

Still, to each their own... ZOS, leave t-bagging alone!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm a poet and I didn't even know it!!!!!

vamp_emily · September 2015

I think this whole topic is funny. I feel sorry for the people who find t-bagging offensive.

Sheezabeast · September 2015

Its really funny to see both sides of this issue for once. I like open ended discussions. I see valid points on both sides of the tea cup, so to say. To me personally though, it doesn't make sense to want to simulate that kind of act right after you kill someone or your buddies kill someone. You got the kill, good for you? You don't really realize how far your head is up your own bum if you can't be objective about what you're doing, and the argument that it isn't really t-bagging is just silly, how can you expect anyone to take that opinion seriously. If you do it, with the exception of the poor person who legit didn't know what it was, you know what you're doing, don't lie ;D If one's ego is in that need of a tug, that they have to simulate behavior likened to monkeys in heat, when they do something productive in PVP, then I guess let them wear themselves out, let them, be the better person, even if its someone else's salt flavoring your mouth

BatterStick · September 2015

I just can't understand why people have to be butthurt for getting T-bagged, yet everything the opposer does is apparently ok. Take this for instance.. Is a forum really necessary? I'm talking about complaining about getting T-bagged.

I personally think the problem is more with the offended teabagee rather than the teabagger

ThisOnePosts · September 2015

It's a part of competitive culture in gaming. Deal with it. If you don't like it, ask yourself really... WHY are you bothered so much about pixels crouching up and down? It sounds more like personal issues / pride being offended (where it shouldn't be).

It's not real, lighten up people and really start to reflect inside yourselves because if this act of pixels moving bothers you so much, I honestly believe the issue is with you and not the person goofing around.

BatterStick · September 2015

The objective is to play. Just.. play, otherwise what else are video games made for? To simulate your new life?
