    I run into such a problem in dungeons a lot. Healers, tanks, and dds, that start being toxic the moment I ask if I should slot elemental drain, because boss has no major breach (full mag group). And they start calling me toxic, because I want to perform better in their group.

    From my experience the toxic crowd is the one that "protects" their privacy. I ask them if I should do something (in case they don't) to higher the group performance, and they start being toxic. It is group activity. I have the full right to know what the group is planning to give me as buffs.

    I am so tired of tip toeing around entitled " "I play how I want" people that get offensive when I offer to slot elemental drain myself. Or even silver leash as mag sorc damage dealer just so the group will have smoother run.

    So ye. When a person goes to group content he should be ready to accept to work as a group
    or at the very least communicate with group members to explain what they are willing to bring to the group, without being toxic.

    Ok then find people to group with who think like you.

    Dont force it on the rest of us.

    Er, you DO realize the applicability of this advice to the "play the way you like" types too, yes?

    Or is this a case of "advice for thee, but not for me"?

    I DO NOT CONSENT FOR YOU OR ANYONE ELSE TO VIEW MY ESO IN-GAME DATA THROUGH ANY THIRD PARTY.

    you realize, by agreeing to the TOS (and the EULA) when you sign up for this game.. you agreed that you don't "own" any of your in-game data... right?

    The only way to not share your in-game data is to not play the game...

    By law they can't share your PERSONAL data... but your in-game information is not personal data.


    in a way your are both right and wrong, the game its self you dont own, but the game information, well that depends on several factors, ie: if you use the account name across several games/platforms, if that is the case the game data, is classed as personal, because the game account name can be directly linked to you (Third-party data is defined as any data collected from variety of sources by a company with no direct connection to the consumer whose data is collected), yes you technical have signed a contract but its not all that clear, when zos brought in esologs, they needed to make sure that it benefits both sides not just one and they did not, any lawyer worth there salt can well sue zos for this, most countries in the world that compainies must have an opt out and not simple state well dont use or services then which zos is stating with the eso logs, you dont like it then tough dont play the game

    If I go to ESO Logs right now and look at a random log that has at least one Anonymous user, how do I figure out who that user is?

    (I don't use ESOLogs, but I've looked at one of their encounters once for one of my groups. If it's for a group I'm not a part of, how do you figure out who the anonymous person is?)

    Your gear and stats are not your personal data. Technically your account and everything within it belongs to Zenimax, you do not own it. It's in the first part of TOS:
    https://account.elderscrollsonline.com/terms-of-service
    If you played the game, then you already consented to that.
