I have video proof of a death threat

Hello,

I was doing pledges and someone got mad at the group because we did not resurrect him during a boss fight. He started to insult us on the voice chat, so I told him I did not resurrect him because he kept dying due to the fact he did not follow mechanics. Still, he insulted me further so I told him to shup up.

At this point, he got personal and, amoung many insults, asked me to give my address IRL so he could "enter my house, slit my throat and then *** my girlfriend". I stopped replying and saved the video clip on my ps4.

I reported him, but I don't think the ticket will be taken seriously. Will ZOS do something about it ? I am on PS4 NA.

Thank you

    I have seen posts like this before and what always baffles me is why your (and others) first thought after receiving what you perceive as a creditable death threat is to notify ZOS...

    Really?


    If you believe that someone has made a creditable threat on your or your families life and knows where you live, call the dam police, WTF are game developers going to do for you?

    ZOS will just lock this thread and do nothing about the threat. It's too legally sensitive for them.

    We don't know that OP hasn't contacted law enforcement.

    If he has played with someone that has committed a bannable offense and has proof, then why not contact ZOS? Law enforcement can't ban a grown adult with rage issues. Only ZOS can.

    Also, the offender clearly asked for his address, and we can assume OP did not give said address, hence it is reasonable to consider you would not be in danger and still entitled to reporting someone who is verbally assaulting others, threatening others, and apparently sucks at pledges.

    Ignore and move on. If I had a dollar for every time someone uttered a death threat my way on the internet, I'd have a million dollars.

    some people are just to mad. I doubt he will ever know your IRL address, so I would not be worried about that. If you are, call the police. but put him to your ignore list and never play with him again, good luck anyway!!

    Don't call the police over internet death threats. You're wasting their time - time they could be using to solve actual crimes. That's assuming they even take the report seriously (which they likely won't). A serious death threat is very different from someone in an anonymous online environment telling you they will kill you and your family.

    If I sound like whinning, sorry this is not what I meant this post to look like. I don't seek revenge either. I just can't believe how aggressive he got. I mean if he gets banned maybe he could reflect on what he said and maybe be like "hey I might have issues i should seek out some help" or something

    Who cares? You must be new to the internet, or life in general.

    Some people are ***. Ignore them.

    I know some people are senseless to what they say. I just wish these things wouls be taken seriously by ZOS. I think it would give them a good image and help het the community to a better place. That's all.
