How upset would you be if your girl deleted ALL your ESO characters?

qsnoopyjr✭✭✭✭Well, there actually are straight women and non-straight men playing this game. So "your girl" should really just be your significant other.
I've only spent ~2 months so no biggie.
I believe you can get your characters restored in most MMOs, since it wasn't you who deleted the characters.
[hypothetical] She convinces ESO to agree not to restore characters, by using your email to let them know and deleting the evidence, and instructs them to respond to your trouble ticket by saying "you was warned, your character is no longer in our database, its no longer possible for recovery, we are sorry for your inconvenience but next time think twice before making such action" (hypothetical, just to please those " I'm a big time IT, and I could instruct ESO on restoring my character folks")
Then your girl, man, or whoever your significant other, says "good, you need to stop playing that game all the time, giggles".
...
She loves you and you know it.
You most likely spent years, maybe endless days grinding for that perfect staff or gear too. ALL GONE, ESO confirms your characters cannot be restored
But she giggled in your face and told you "you need to stop playing that game all the time"
...
How do you respond?Edited by qsnoopyjr on June 18, 2017 10:53PM0 -

Syrani✭✭✭✭Very angry, possible start cursing, I spent YEARS on this gameWell, I AM the girl, so it would be my husband I would get mad at. But, he doesn't game at all and wouldn't have the faintest clue as to how to log on and do all that, so I guess I am safe, or rather, HE is safe.

✭Why does it have to be my girl. Do we just assume all girls are tech-illiterate and can't help but erase chars etc? lol
In all honesty, I would be extremely pissed. But I'm not going to start throwing things around the room.3 -
Smmokkee✭✭✭✭✭Very angry, possible start cursing, I spent YEARS on this gameThis already happened to me not to long ago. 1.3 million gold gone, all gear that wasn't locked deleted (derp) which was the overwhelming majority of my items and my characters. It took about a month getting trashed by zos support to get my character back and that was about all I got. Just some naked character's lol. They were full of ***. Somethings could be restored some not. The more valuable the item the less likely.
They kept giving me blow back because there wasn't evidence my account was compromised. I tried to explain all you really have to do on the Xbox is turn it on and press A.. lol. Either way now I have my xbox locked down and all of my items locked. Be careful with instant sign in!
The excuse that they can see my items but it was sold to a vendor so it won't be able to be restored is a load of *** haha.Edited by Smmokkee on June 18, 2017 11:21PM1 -
ProfesseurFreder✭✭✭✭✭Well, none of the above really.
What you really needed to put as an option was, "Time to get a new girlfriend.""Nothing by which all human passion and hope and folly can be mirrored and then proved ever was just a game."

✭✭UpsetMy wife is pretty technically challenged, so deleting anything on the computer or any of the consoles would be an accident. When she accidentally switches AV input on the TV, switching it back again stretches her abilities.
I'm not saying she is stupid, just not interested enough in them to get to know how they work beyond turning them on.

✭✭✭✭✭ALL your ESO characters got deleted, how upset would you be?
Example reaction: reaction of 2k17 career mode deleted. I'm curious if ESO gamer would get as mad as 2k17 if their characters got deleted.

I don't click links on forums. So i'm not sure what this video shows.
My reaction would be determined by whether or not it was a mistake.
If it was an accident, I would be disappointed but not upset at her. If it was done on purpose - I would be pissed.0 -

Woops, sorry babe I deleted all your characters, and ZoS says cannot be restored.
Sorry babe it was a mistake.
Followed by, "you play this game too much anyways, its a good thing all your characters got deleted, sorry it was a mistake, but now more time can be spent outside ESO"
Your reaction?
Bruh, ESO is fun [snip] am i gonna do now? You know I spent 3 years on this game! YOU KNOW I SPENT 3 YEARS ON THIS GAME! "Bae, it was a mistake tho, it was a mistake, you play too much anyways"
It's okay, you right, cannot believe I spent 3 years playing it, its whatever, you made a mistake, well bye bye ESO, .

I'm sick and tired of hearing about Cadwell Silver&Gold as a "you think you do but you don't"-tier deflection to any criticism regarding the lack of overland difficulty in the game.2 -

Abeille✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭Really, this sort of thing isn't about the game, it is a matter of respect.
I had a bf when I was younger who did not respect my hobbies, constantly talked down on me for liking the stuff I like, then in a few months he started to talk down on me for choosing the college course I did, and eventually I realized that he simply didn't respect me (yeah took me a while, I know, give me a break I was young and stupid). Without respect, a relationship can't last.
Answering the question, I would end the relationship. If this isn't a HUGE red flag, I don't know what it is.Edited by Abeille on June 19, 2017 1:23AMJust so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.
Meet my characters:Command: Do the thing.
Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.4 -
TalonKnight✭✭✭1 question are u dating my ex....
1 way you will know is when she hacks all your other games, changes the passwords, hacks your email, and facebook, and changes the password to those also, and then hacks your old online dating file, and changes the about you so you look like a complete piece of trash, AND THEN.... if that wasn't enough she will sign you up to gay dating sites, and hook you up with that irresistible profile in hopes you become very popular....
Hopefully it doesn't get any worse then that.
Good luck, feel for ya.1 -
