    With all due respect, you seem pretty entitled. They have the right to act like a fool and spam abilities in bars, just as you have the right to role play.they have the right to throw mud balls which ZOS provided. Your enjoyment in the game does not mean you should have the right to ban others because they disrupt your RP experience. This is an MMORPG, not your own personal RPG. Yes you paid for the game, so did they.

    If they are whispering insults to you, block them. Very very simple.

    I'm very glad ZOS doesn't act on stuff like this, or people would be getting banned left, right and centre because someone else had their "experience diminished".

    Even with all this said, between the block feature and being able to easily lose any "harassers", it would have taken you no more than a mere minute or two to get rid of them. You can't track players in ESO unless they are in your guild. If they were, tell guild leader. This thread is pointless.

    Whenever I see people complain about this sort of thing I wonder how these trolls are able to consistently find you for years and why they have nothing better to do than bother you. I have played MMOs for quite a long time and the only times I see people stalking other players to troll them, is when they get a reaction out of them. Otherwise trolls stick around for a few minutes before moving on to a more entertaining victim. I feel like just going to a different place every once in a while would make it extremely difficult to find you and for the most part resolve the issue. Sure you'll still get the occasional troll but a stalker would have to search every zone thoroughly to find you.

    Even if you report a player, I'd hardly expect any immediate action to be taken against them and I don't think it's reasonable to expect this. I say this because it seems to me like your best option would still be to just move somewhere else.

    I don't RP but when I'm doing something in a PvE zone and another player comes and disrupts my game play. As soon as it becomes apparent that they're going to be around for a while I just go somewhere else. Nothing else will resolve the issue faster, allowing me to resume my fun time.

    You've made it clear that this isn't the solution you want to hear but this is your best solution.

    First, no actually read the terms of service. Spamming, harrassment, and stalking are loterally something you agree not to do.

    Second, As i've said more than once, i already blocked them. And i've reported them with screenshots of them using homophobic slurs at me. The problem is them forming a guild of people to harass roleplayers.

    Third, you're glad they don't act on reports of people clearly violating the ToS?

    The problem is that it's not a solution. Cutting me out of the public rp community literally just means that I've had a section of the game taken away by a homophobic prick, who repeatedly violates the ToS and gets away with it. Going elsewhere literally does nothing but encourage him to move around or harass other people.

    If you complete the quest at a town you become invisible to everyone who didn't do the quest and can't see your name hoping their stupid to find that out just do a quest or find a place they did a.quest and you didn't as they can't undo a quest
    or just troll them back *** them off litteraly f*** their *** up get a guild and take their *** beat them take their members show them not to mess with you, get a laugh taunt and just keep laughing while you watch them waste their time go ask for hours and days just doing nothing except a simply taunt.

    First, already finished the riften quests, and travelling to friends is what most people do in RP.

    Second (and most importantly), how does that fix the issue? Being just like them encourages toxicity and harassment, which defeats the purpose of reporting.

    First the TOS states Zenimax reserves the right to ban you on those grounds, not necessarily that they will. Nor are you entitled to force them to do so. Spamming happens all the time of zone chat, most sellers and guilds do it constantly everyday. If they acted on that, the amount if users and guilds banned would be staggering. "Harassment" is a rather vague word, and anyone can throw it easily at someone else. Embarrassing other players is also against the TOS, need I explain how this could lead to tons of bans? See if ZOS did what you want them to do, they'd lose a staggering number of their player base. This is obviously something they would not, and should not, do. So yes, I'm very happy they do not enforce these things, as is their right.

    Forming a guild to harass role players? I thought you blocked them, how would you know?

    Because i can see what guild someone is in if they have the heraldry on? And if nothing being done about ToS violations, why bother have eother the toS or the report function? And like I said, that oesn't change the fact he's used homophobic slurs to attack me before i had him ignored. I provided screenshots (which i no longer have as a result of my old computer dying), and nothing was done about it. All you've done is make excuses for harassment.

    I've tried that. I've sat AFK for half an hour and they'll still be at it (assuming they haven't made me crash by then).

    And to everyone saying 'turn your graphics down then', how does that address the fact that people are able to abuse their skills and mementos to make someone (who otherwise has no issues with their settings) crash?

    It was said before, but the reaction to griefers, which really works is to not react at all - go on with what you are doing as if they wouldn't be there, if possible, and to mudballs - well, smile and enjoy it for a bit, before you move on. If you show anger or any discomfort, you give them exactly what they want and they will continue to grief you. You can of course insist on staying there and reacting to it - but then it is partly your fault, that this does not end, continues endlessly and makes you miserable.

    The constant crashing of my game when three people swap between fire abilities and mudballs makes it impossible to ignore. They continue to grief and harass after i log back in aswell. Before giving up and going to help someone level last night, they made me crash three times.

    I think this is something I'd take to tech support. It shouldn't be happening and it might be something as simple as an updated driver needed or a setting changed etc.

    The solution to that is, play with another character for a while - they will not wait there for an eternity, if you don't return quickly. If you don't have another character, now you know, why one can be helpful to have.

    Funny thing is, i do. I hope between 8 different characters. I was helping someone level in Alik'r for at least 3 hours, and when i went to riften to trade with someone, the main individual was still there.

    Edit: it should go without saying he started spamming me with abilities when he saw me trading.

    Some people have just no life and their only pleasure is to make other's feel miserable - just don't give them the pleasure to react to this. They will get bored if they cannot get a reaction out of you. Or if you react, do it in a way they don't expect - like start dancing when hit by mudballs, applause or something like that - this will not give them any pleasure if you enjoy what they are doing. They want to grief you, make you miserable - so either don't react or react in a way, they don't like.

    That still doesn't address the fact that they're making me crash. Because i don't react. I don't say anything, i don't do any emotes when i'm hit. But they're always there to harass me.

Or if you react, do it in a way they don't expect - like start dancing when hit by mudballs, applause or something like that - this will not give them any pleasure if you enjoy what they are doing. They want to grief you, make you miserable - so either don't react or react in a way, they don't like.

    That still doesn't address the fact that they're making me crash. Because i don't react. I don't say anything, i don't do any emotes when i'm hit. But they're always there to harass me.

    See,stuff like that happens to me too - I give it a smile or do what I wanted to do, ignoring them. And it does not last long, they will find another victim. I guess you have done something, what made you their preferred target - and the only way will most likely be to avoid them then, because they know now, that they can make you upset and angry with it. They couldn't do that to me, I am not getting angry nor upset - I am just doing my stuff as if they wouldn't be there or react in a way, which shows me enjoying it - they do not want me to enjoy it, so this ends pretty fast.

    It was said before, but the reaction to griefers, which really works is to not react at all - go on with what you are doing as if they wouldn't be there, if possible, and to mudballs - well, smile and enjoy it for a bit, before you move on. If you show anger or any discomfort, you give them exactly what they want and they will continue to grief you. You can of course insist on staying there and reacting to it - but then it is partly your fault, that this does not end, continues endlessly and makes you miserable.

    The constant crashing of my game when three people swap between fire abilities and mudballs makes it impossible to ignore. They continue to grief and harass after i log back in aswell. Before giving up and going to help someone level last night, they made me crash three times.

    The solution to that is, play with another character for a while - they will not wait there for an eternity, if you don't return quickly. If you don't have another character, now you know, why one can be helpful to have.

    Funny thing is, i do. I hope between 8 different characters. I was helping someone level in Alik'r for at least 3 hours, and when i went to riften to trade with someone, the main individual was still there.

    Have you tried tech support on this crashing business? If you can get that sorted it will be far easier to just ignore the idiot(s).

    Which is fine all fine and dandy if they aren't making your game crash. But when i'm having to relog into the game every 5-10 minutes, i'm obviously going to get frustrated.
    Thank you,

    I put in a ticket when i crash, woth descriptions of what's going on. Unless they don't bother dealing with those either, in which case how would i report that?

    I can see that, but as the servers currently are, I will anyway have to log back in about every 20-30 minutes, because the server isn't able to hold the connection and I am back to the login screen - not the character selection, the login screen. This said, play with another character or go to a wayshrine and teleport away to a more quiet place where they cannot follow you.

    Which, as i've said several times, basically means cutting myself out of the RP community. And see I generally don't have tech issues with the game, but when i am crashing to desktop because of the actions of a group of people i have the not unreasonable expectation that something is done about it
    Thank you,
