Is it normal to steal hard work and uniqueness of players by game developers ? I do not think so !

Players builds - is there own - that thay get throught hard work, and spanding a lot of time to it.
Why some one just steal it from us ? What the hell - why do i put option or not make my logs private - other people see all about my characters - my rotation and skill and equipment.
It is thing that i have through my hard work - i want it be unique just form me.
How dare you stole it from me and make it publik ? It is not normal !
https://www.esologs.com/ - remove information about peoples builds and armor ! It is our privat information.
If we make it private or not other see all about you. It is not right !

✭I don't understand.
Are you worried about other players in pve copying your build...?
We don't own anything in this game. Not our achieves or characters or accounts; especially not our builds. We're "renting". The "developers" or whatever can't steal what they already own...PC NA

✭✭✭✭✭How does data get onto that site? It's not automatic because I checked and none of my characters or my guilds are on there.
Normally with sites like that players have to add their data voluntarily, either through an API code or an addon, so if you don't want to share it you just...don't. I couldn't see anything on the site to say, but I assume it's the same.PC EU player | She/her/hers | PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!

✭It's not your information though. It isn't personal information like a credit card. They own your account.
@Danikat if i understand correctly someone has to use the tool you download from the site, log, then upload. Anyone in the group can do it. A lot of guilds will have logs just for the guild and/or certain cores.PC NA

OwnerOfSuccuby✭✭✭I think it is not right post any data about players - yes thay have it but - why they post it to others ?

✭✭✭✭✭While you can choose to have your data shown anonymously, I agree that there should be an option for it not to be shown at all. I've no idea how it actually works as I don't get involved in that kind of play but any such system should be made entirely optional if it is not already. I suppose the danger then is that guilds and groups would kick you if you didn't agree to participate.11 -

✭✭I would contend that our Usernames are personal data and the ESOLog does collect that even when it is set to Anonymous.
Everything else is fair game, and ZOS was collecting this data regardless, they always knew what your build was.
Being precious about your build being viewable by others is a special kind a narcissism that I don't think we should be accommodating anyways.
The new thing is that 3rd party sites like ESOlogs can now also see what your build is w/o you personally telling them.

I respectfully disagree that this is something to worry about. No one can cause adverse effects to you because they know what sets you run. You maintain your gear.
I do not see a problem.10 -
Hang on just copying OwnerOfSuccuby's build so I can coast through the game easy

I agree that there's no issue with ZOS collecting information, it's the availability of it to third party sites without express consent that is the issue - not least if it identifies personal information such as an account name. I would have thought that under the UK's General Data Protection Regulations, for example, it's the taking and holding of information that is restricted without express consent and not just whether it's then held openly or anonymously. There may well be provision in the TOS for ZOS to take and hold such information, but any third party arrangements should by default be set to disabled and not simply to anonymously.8 -

✭✭✭✭✭Its all a plot to break up the Illuminati BIS Meta Brigade and introduce more unique builds into ESO.
No one really cares about your "unique", "play the way you like" build. They care whether you can do the content or not. The BIS, the meta...all that is known, and the sort of players who copy builds are going to copy that, not the builds of a random player in dungeons with them.Edited by VaranisArano on June 7, 2019 8:25PM15 -

This is the same for Canadian Privacy and I have made an official complaint to the Canadian Privacy Commission in regards to this. ZOS is required under the privacy law to get Meaningful Consent to allow this Third Party Company to have ANY data from my gameplay in ESO as that data can be used to profile me, even if other users cannot see my username.
I also sent a message to ESO prvacy email address to request them to address this and they have not responded, therefore I will allow my Government to sue ZOS now.
Far too many characters to list any more.10 -

✭✭People would figure it out eventually even without any logs. There are only so many sets, skills, weapons, etc in the game.2 -
OwnerOfSuccuby✭✭✭There are a lot of sets - and stupid players enough to play meta - becouse can not do nothing by there own.
Those who know how to play and have brains make builds for their own - and they do not want to see tons of goats that are equiped the same.
If you like play like all - play by Alcast - i want to play by my own - and do not want to see pure copies ow my hard work !3 -

✭ZOS could very simply sidestep all complaints by discarding the data instead of (poorly) anonymizing it. Problem solved and everyone Is happy.Edited by Ohtimbar on June 7, 2019 8:56PMforever stuck in combat2 -

OwnerOfSuccuby✭✭✭I do not care do zos have this or not - i nevew cheating - but i do not want others just copy any other players build - that work hard to do it for himself to be unique.4

MojaveHeld✭✭✭✭✭If you have a meta build, other players already have it. If you don't, they probably wouldn't want to "steal" it anyways. You're being oddly paranoid here for no reason.14 -

You must have a lot of friends. But I digress, I'd be very shocked if anyone cared enough to copy your precious 'builds'. Also this must be your first MMO if you think you have any hope/right to privacy about what your character does.
