This might be a bit of a personal issue...I am somoene who always chooses an RP server if only so i dont have to deal with all the "Noobhunter5000XXX" of this world.
This is something that really starts bothering me, being in a dungeon or trial group and seeing those kinda names that are so incredibly lore breaking that they are hard to ignore and always stick out like a sore thumb.
Am im the only one bothered by this and do you think since we only got one server there should be naming rules in place?
ps: i understand the argument that people should have the freedom to play what you want - i just think this problem was solved nicely in the past with having rp servers where naming restrictions were applied...and it's not like those rp servers werent sought out
Pps: not talking about e.g. a nord with an argonian name or the such...that is still lore friendly - even funny names can be very lore friendly...im talking about gamer tag-like names and the such that have nothing to do with elder scrolls such as ROXXOR5000 or n00bmasterxxx or something like that

✭✭✭✭✭They do bother me but we have to tolerate / ignore themIn a game with the number of players when I left WoW (about 15 million? not sure now as that was in 2013) snipping players for stupid names wasn't much of an issue.
In ESO? I'd tend to think CS wouldn't want to *** off a lot of the current player base - and it IS a lot. I see FAR more garbage names than lore-oriented ones - probably 10-1. In fact.... the occasional lore seeming name causes me to do a double take....
Sad. But money is money. And money talks.0 -

They do bother me but we have to tolerate / ignore themSome of these names are annoying, but I don't think there should be any restrictions on choosing them.
Mostly because if "XXX420(insertdeludedboastaboutskillhere)1337XXX" shows up, I'll immediately know this is someone I want nothing to do with.
Rules about name choice would make it harder to identify these people.I'm laughing at your epeen14 -

✭✭✭✭✭My characters have lore appropriate name's for their race. That's why I asked ZOS to add the Name Change tokens and was delighted when they listened!
Other people can name their characters whatever they want as long as it doesn't violate the TOS. If I see a questionable name, I'll report it with note asking a "Hey, is this acceptable under the TOS?" and let ZOS sort it out.1 -
MarughSoul ShrivenThey do bother me but we have to tolerate / ignore themI've played MMOs for too long and just been around people for too long to expect that everyone I encounter in an MMO, regardless of rules set or community, will adhere to an arbitrary naming standard.
But I always appreciate the players that go out of their way to pick a lore-appropriate name, whatever the game. That effort is nice to see.Elberond Fanadil, Bosmer Nightblade who spends way too much time with his bow7 -

✭✭Lore breaking names don't bother mei think the way people act in online games can potentially give some indicators on how they react/interact to/with other people outside the game and, if people can't handle seeing someone with a goofy user/character name in a video game, that tells me they aren't prepared to see much worse things they might not want to be exposed to in the real worldskingrad when zoscharacters:PC/NA but live in EU 150+ ping lyfe- EP - M - Strikes-with-Arcane - Argonian Stamina Sorc - lvl 50 - The Flawless Conqueror/Spirit Slayer

✭✭✭Lore breaking names don't bother medecided at one point to reinterpret them as lore friendly
it's not that people in my dungeon groups don't properly exist in Tamriel
it's that the strangest inhabitants of Tamriel end up working for groups like the Undaunted"If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion." -- the 14th Dalai Lama
Wisdom is doing Now that which benefits you later.

Seriously though, if you are actually bothered about whether or not another player’s character name is lore friendly or not. Reassess your priorities.11 -

✭✭✭✭✭They do bother me but we have to tolerate / ignore themI'm actually somewhere between option 1 and 2. They annoy me, but, except for the truly stupid ones, I just roll my eyes, think, "lame," and move on.

✭✭They do bother me but we have to tolerate / ignore themNo naming rules, that would just prevent us from making good names. The same thing which allows good names allows bad ones, its part and parcel.
No one should be required to have a 100% "lore fitting" name. that said names like N00BSLAY3R-XXX are stupid.
Like what if you were found as a little altmer baby by breton parents and they decided to name you "Richard", that could be a totally valid reason for an altmer to have a non aldmeri name.Playing your character the way your character should play is all that matters. Play as well as you can but never betray the character. Doing so would make playing an mmoRPG pointless.3 -

BlueViolet✭✭✭✭✭They do bother me but we have to tolerate / ignore themI think some names look really ridiculous.
I don't particularly like them, but people are free to name themselves xXSephiroth's WillyXx or whatever if they want to.
As others have said above, they're probably people I wouldn't want to bother associating with. I don't find those kinds of names amusing or anything.
I truly do appreciate a proper clever name, just not an outright stupid one.EU / NA / PC5 -
