PSA: Zone chat is full of trolls/sensitive people that will report you - Lesson learned

Picking one thing out of a list of things and applying that logic to the whole list doesn't work read the third paragraph.

As a guy who likes to keep his record clean, I am still kinda salty about this because this is my first offense since 2014 but I feel the need to warn the public to avoid this kind of incident so be careful on what you say specially for those of you who likes to socialized, hang out, and help newbies in zone chat.

Before you judge me, hear me out. I did not intend nor bare any kind of ill will towards the involved parties and yet I was reported for hate speech but, surprisingly, hours passed and no one reacted in the zone chat but instead we were calmly talking about topic like adults and even joke about it. To be clear, this was not a troll or raging moments in zone chat, in fact, we were just talking about something that has led to a chain of events to the topic at hand which is the Scottish comedian that has gotten a lawsuit because he taught his pug to do a German (I will not say the N word anymore) salute.

My offense was, I cited some of his said words from his video as an example while I was sharing his tragic incident. I already talked to support about this but they are basing the offense from what you type instead of what the intention is which is understandable so no hard feelings to support.

That said, lesson is learned. I will probably refrain from answering questions, helping, whispering back to strangers from zone chat in the future because everything seems offensive now a days.

You sound like a public figure that got caught on camera LMAO xD

Though at least we get all the fun details with those. I still think the tears from players in bgs that come on here in rage threads are still the best form of entertainment. Go and collect the tears, lol, it will make you feel better....

A little common sense goes a long way. If you think for a moment that any of 1000 people viewing zone chat could get offended (probably due to their own misunderstanding), best to refrain.

Not worth the time trying to explain to a brilliant CSR why some brilliant player is completely misinterpretting whatever you were throwing out there.

That said, Zone chat not intended for IRL conversations. People come to the game to get away from that crap, not see it debated to no end in a game zone.

TL;DR: Whether you intended to offend or not, you did this to yourself.

Yes, I did this to myself, lesson learned. Never again will I use zone chat to socialized/chill, in fact, I would refrain from talking to strangers because who knows if they're baiting you so they can report you. However, it would be nice if ZOS adds specific chat tab for trades, LFG, & etc. So I can completely disable zone chat in my chat box.

Games are for gaming stuff, why people bring real life issues into a game is beyond me, and also on forums.

so you are saying your are incapable of ignoring non-relevant things within the system of communication? You have to respond to everything you agree or disagree with and can't filter the noise?

When you want to sell something, or are looking for a group, why does whatever else is happening within that chat window have any affect on you what-so-ever?

You can't wax poetic about non-gaming related things so you need a special place that only gives you certain topics?

Why not just use the system in place and don't interact with whatever you deem "a trap"

It is not easy to just talk about gaming stuff while playing games all the time because some topics are just related be it game or real life issue and can't be avoided.

Also people might misinterpret this topic as a rant but this is just an PSA with me telling how did it go down so that people can reflect and have insight on do's and don'ts. While some criticized and mocked me, they still gave a great insight on the do's and don'ts which was a great help for me so I can avoid getting an offense in the future, I also hope that it will help our curious viewers that may or may not haves suffered the same offense.

You maybe able to simply ignore and not bat an eye from the zone chat but some can't, not all people are alike. I also can't help but to poke my nose especially when someone asks for help or a question and I know the answer but like I said, lesson learned, I will refrain from using zone chat as MMO socialization.
