Lol jeeez lighten up, it is a game, if people treat things so serously and get butthurt by things in the game, then tbh they should not play, it came from FPS games, when if you were pwning everything in sight and you got killed, then tea bagged, it was meant as a honour, back then.

Fair enough in these days, people do it for every reason under the sun, its psychological warfare, and if you cannot handle it, then do not play PvP.

Your explanation of why people does not come anywhere near why people do it for realsies.

Take a chill pill dude.

Some people take things way too serious, it is a game, there are gonna be elements in the game that may not to be your personal taste, but it is not a good enough reason to rage at people or give abusive statements.

- That's my right to express my opinion (and yours to disagree)
- I don't care where it comes from because it doesn't change the symbolic meaning of it
- I don't care how it's "meant" or "why people do it" : point is, they shouldn't, end of story. There are dozens of emotes to choose from, shovel and waterbucket are fine imho.
- I am perfectly calm, I am not your dude, I don't rage and my statement isn't abusive.
- No, everybody doesn't do it. Civilized, mature people don't do it, regardless of their "gaming culture". On PC/EU teabagging is extremely rare.
- I've never been teabagged (or I didn't notice it).

But I agree that if someone is a victim of teabagging ingame, and annoyed by it, the last thing to do is to show it and tell it to your opponent : that will only lead to more teabagging. Either report, or suck it up and carry on, and forget it. But never ever think you "deserved it", andthere is no such thing as a "teabagging etiquette" or whatever.

Oh my goodness. LOL. You have to admit, that is pretty funny. I would never teabag someone. But that is funny. I'm one of those love everybody, never get mad players that always places the "Good Job, Everyone" emote when grouped.
Yeah, Yeah, I know. I'm a softy.

Fair enough, but even emotes are similar to tea bagging, shovel etc, means the same thing, so your argument is inconsistent, and on PC EU it actually happens quite a lot.
And I never said everybody does it, and if people are so civilised, then why do any emotes at all over a fallen enemy, it is a question of scale over the same action.

Laughing/shover/waterbucket is all in the same spectrum as teabagging, it means you feel the need to express whatever to your fallen enemy, so where is the difference?

And again this is your opinion, as it is mine, it means nothing, everyone plays the game as they see fit.

And I said dude for the want of a better expression, I do not care either funnily enough.

People do tea-bagging because there isnt anything else, thats it.

Improve it! As Assassin kind of character myself, I'd love to take my fallen opponent to my arms and cut his throat.

Another thread about this? Tea bagging equates to *** talking in a game. Get some thicker skin. You people saying these guys are doing some kinda sexual act on you just need to buck the *** up. I wholeheartedly doubt this is their intent and its sole purpose is to enrage the person they are doing it to. Again its a form of *** talking in video games. Stop being soo god damn sensitive.

Completely agree, people take things way too serious

Meh. Okay, if you say so. Some idiot tried to teabag me (or perform the emote) while I was standing in Wayrest picking up a quest. Not only was it out of context, it just looked stupid.

And, really, it's lassie not laddie. Not everyone who plays this game is a guy. But don't worry, I fixed it for you.

My apologies lassie:}

Aye I will agree with you on your example there, in PvE it would be trolling and stupid, but it does make sense in PvP, and I know plenty of lasses who do the same thing, most of which have played FPS games and know why it was done there, now it is done for a number of reasons, but as I said to someone else earlier, doing bucketsplash and laughing etc amounts to the same thing.
