Maintenance for the week of April 6:
• PC/Mac: No maintenance – April 6

Can we all make an effort to be a 'little' better?

Edit: Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

I deleted the original post, because it enticed some anger (not sure how.)

I hope everyone has a great holiday season and continues to play this awesome game!

Thanks to everyone who commented!

    yes, I slap myself often because I 'hate' the player, not the game that allowed the [insert op thing here] that killed me.

    The zone text chats on all platforms could use some ZOS moderation.
    Right now their is very little fear of repercussion.

    Wait..so it's ok to say mean things just not racist things or homophobic? Stfu.

    All meanNess should go away not just your liberal buzz words.

    People get death threats for Pete's sake..getting called a racist name is not even close to the worse

    I think we all know there is a fine line between calling someone "stupid" versus calling someone "a stupid *insert slur here*".
    This wasn't a political post, don't turn it into that. I think most people can understand I'm not encouraging bullying or bad behavior as long as they stay away from your so-called "liberal buzz words" lol.

    It was just a thread to say "It would be nice if we could treat people better."

    No need to argue...unless, you disagree with the premise of treating people better.

    Edit: forgot to add this...how in the world did you get that I said one thing is worse than another...OBVIOUSLY, you can say terrible things without being racist, homophobic, etc...You make it sound like I'm condoning that type of behavior by taking it way out of context lmao

    Yup, it's you. Adding those snarky little comments will attract comments.

    The point of the thread was literally "Can we be nicer to each other." Apparently, that is too much to ask of some people? I don't understand your argument at all...especially considering there shouldn't have even been an argument in this thread lol.

    This is where your openING post exposed your agenda:

    Quote I have no problem with being passionate/fired up about the game (like getting t-bagged, or whispering me after to tell me I'm trash lol, or even using profanity...in fact I think it makes a lot of us more competitive and sometimes is hilarious.) and I don't mind any of the things that come with it. End quote


    So its ok to be called names..profanity..tea bagged..it's all good competition and FUNNY

    But WOE to you who use homophobic or racist language! That's not acceptable.

    You see?

    I'm not trying to witch hunt or be a little 'cry-baby-snowflake', but I know for a fact ZoS does not support this type of behavior and it seems that reporting these messages never gets anywhere.

    You shouldn't even need to qualify your request with this, but yeah. Of course the irony of being called a snowflake is always from people who desperately need things to stay the way they are because their egos are too fragile to handle a legit request to be a better person and treat others better. They perceive it as a personal attack. How sad is that for someone to invest their identity is being able to say hateful, dehumanizing things about others without being accountable? If that's your aesthetic, seriously rethink.

    ZOS "officially" does not support this kind of thing but I know too that reporting players is pretty worthless. I found that out very early on when I had someone use the in-game mail system to send me misogynist and racist messages. When I reported it, all I got what a message saying if I didn't like what that person said to me, I should put them on my ignore list. I not so kindly told ZOS, also to no avail, that they were condoning this by allowing this person to use their in-game communication system in this way without any consequence. I doubt that got to anyone higher than a bottom rank customer service employee, if any eyeballs saw it at all.

    BTW, if any ZOS employees sees this, I'd like to request expanding the number of player we can add to our ignore list, because mine's constantly full. And aside from a small handful of people who gave me problems for other reasons, nearly all are people who said hateful, bigoted things in zone chat or directly to me or other players I know.

    PC-NA since 2015. Tired and unimpressed.

    Personally, I LOVE getting hate whispers in PvP - tells me I'm doing it right! Doesn't matter what they say, I find it hilarious that they're getting so worked up by being killed by another player. They're the ones with a problem! Don't reply to them either.

    Seriously - don't be upset by it - LAUGH at it! :D

    Thank you for using that quote because I clearly said "I"...as in "I" don't mind it. I'm saying that other people do mind it, and it would be nice if we tried to be better. But, apparently as a registered republican I'm some sort of super-liberal-buzz-word-using-agenda-pushing-socialist LOL. I guess I'll ask to have the thread closed because people have to politicize everything.

    I apologize for trying to make other people feel welcome, and I apologize for somehow saying those slurs are worse than death threats and constant harassment.

    I honestly can't believe that a simple thread of "be nice" was met with resistance.

    If I posted some of the PvE zone chats here I would be banned in an instant.
    If I repeated them in a public place I would have my lights punched out and probably arrested.

    The problem with you and the op is you thinks it's just fine to say beingredients mean is funny..except against minorities and homosexuals

    Your logic and agendas are what separate you from common decent people who are against all acts of bullying and being mean.

    The irony is not what you say but the fact that your clueless liberal logic is somehow morally superior to those who want true equality


    No one here says saying racist things is ok..I am just point8ng out the ops clear double standard

    You're either trolling or didn't read my replies. All forms of online harassment/Bullying are WRONG. When I wrote this thread originally... racist, and homophobic zone chat/ whispers we're fresh on my mind. Which is why I used those as examples.

    I fee like a broken record saying this again, but this was just a thread asking people to think before they typed an angry whisper or message.

    You never know what the person behind that monitor is going through. There is no double standard and I'm not saying one thing is worse than the other.

    I agree with you. It just came off really bad how you said it. I can accept if you truly didn't mean it that way.

    In the end..I think we all agree.mt he game would be better and more approachable if problem players were dealt with and shown it's not ok to harrassed people
