Do GMs still exist?

RAGUNAnoOne · July 2016

With the priority the whole "real GMs have the Z symbol" load screen hint you would think they would appear at least once. yet on PS4 I have yet to see one. Do they exist or is the GM hint a way to troll players.

I don't believe they ever existed on consoles.

I used to keep an eye out, thinking you would see one destroying everything in their path. .. But never has it happened.

They exist, but they're rarely in game. ...well, rarely logged in on a character interacting directly with player characters.

The tip is there to warn you against non-GMs pretending to be ZoS employees and scamming you.

I would much prefer to see them actively interacting with the players in the game chat from time to time.

Make the request somewhere on the boards, worst they can do is say no.

I know they use too but nowadays I don't believe they do. I think they were removed about the same time ZOS had their major cut down.

Lets just put it this way: if they DID exist still, exploiters would be a rare thing......yet....well......exploiters do their thing everyday lol so to answer the question if it was not clear, no they do not exist anymore. At onepoint in time i seen a few and even talked to them.

Havent seen them since, and this was 5 months after launch. No security, no gms, no accountability. ZoS relies on players to keep themselves in check and we see how well that is turning out in game lololol

Haven't seen one in game on PC in nearly 12 months....

Good job ZOS!

Its just like any mascot you loved when your a child you want it to exist but in reality they probably don't.

I've been on the live server since early release and have yet to see a GM in game. I wouldn't (and haven't) taken that to mean that they're completely absent, but whatever they do they certainly aren't announcing it.

I haven't seen them in-game since Launch.

@Daveheart If they do exist everytime they log in I want people to know but of course privacy is a thing so it could say "a Game Master logged on!" but guess what? It doesn't say when they log off the paranoia defense lol.
