✭Well, if it is about 70% of PVP players will soon be banned. Wait, that is the solution to Cyrodil lag. Remove the player base! J.K.0 -
HappyTheCamper✭✭✭✭✭On Xbox I noticed a de-sync where I’d crouch but not pop back up when trying to t-bag.
Very upsetting but probably for the best. I’m only like a B+ PvPer so I have no business doing it regularly.1 -

✭✭✭It's the in-game equivalent of a kid putting his/her thumb to his or her nose and wiggling the four remaining fingers. I simply can't fathom why anyone would get upset with this. I'm sure I've had it done to me numerous times, but I'm too busy reading the recap screen or double checking if I have a chance of being revived. Rarely if ever focus on my character. Hell, sometimes I can't even see my character due to the amount of people around. So if folk want to waste their time doing something I won't even realise they're doing, then they're free to do so.8 -

It appears so. Apparently maturity these days is gauged by one's ability to become upset and report people over silly video game animations.Edited by Jeremy on September 23, 2020 4:02PM7 -

The ironic part is, there are some emotes that are every bit as degrading or inflammatory as the t bag animation. Not that t bagging or those emotes are degrading or inflammatory.

Could be fake. But they did a slick job painting it, because the wording and everything sounds exactly like something she would say.
I would be curious to know if it was real or not, though. Because sometimes I have players stalk me in Cyrodil. I literally had one player who did nothing but follow me around for hours making things difficult for me. And I had no idea going out of your way to target specific people was against the rules. So I might could whisper them that post to get them to back off. haha1 -

Its great to get the acknowledgement that ZOS understands that players are going to die again and again in PVP without it being griefing.
Grinding just make you go in circles.
Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.1 -

This is very diplomatic, as you have to take in account factors beyond ZOS influence, like playing on xbox live.
Here is an example, where someone (different game) was banned not by the gamepublisher, but by Microsoft.
This confirms suggestions I had read before, that the best adress to report it, is not the ESO Support, but the xbox live support.

I see it as an in-game demonstration that someone is an immature little waste of oxygen. (as well as a clear example why people think pvp is a steaming pit of scum, to be avoided. As well as yet another sign that humanity in general may have been a mistake) And I simply can't fathom why anyone would want to do it.
But, then, I don't understand why any of the idiotic "macho" bull**** in any kind of sports & competition (like trash-talking) is accepted or seen as a positive thing.19 -

the reason for t-bag is the same reason football players do a small dance at the touchdown.
"its to celebrate i did a good job even tho all the insults and people claimed i could not"
"its a victory dance showing and pride that i won even though i was told i was garbage"
but now that we have Proof that this is something bannable worthy i will never do it again, and i will not report anyone that does it to me.0 -

That was my original point.... If it were "open world" it should be easier on their servers.
Butt... If I could level from 1 to 810 in one of the 3 and still get everything I needed as well (instead of 1/3rd soulshard each time one is found, you would get a full soulshard) then we can trash those guild traders while we were at it and put a global auction that would actually improve the market seeing as sets would only drop on specific areas... And heck... While we are at it lets do away with the 5 guilds that everyone seems to think is a great thing...
One guild.
One alliance.
One trader.

And yet your slew of insults are somehow considered mature?

✭Actually, while I'm a staunch opponent of that behaviour, I might be happy with a middle ground of sorts ...
Make the behaviour risky. Implement an item (make it expensive/hard to get so it's uncommon) that detect when a player does a teabag over your corpse. Then, it explode, killing the player in question and taking an item at random in his inventory.
Teabag if you want, but eventually, suffer the consequences.3 -

ZoS doesn't officially endorse anything in private Discord conversations. If any employee did, they would probably be strongly reprimanded, if not fired. Any official ruling would be announced officially.
This is fake.

ZOS_GinaBrunoCommunity ManagerAs with many things in-game, context is very important. The act of standing and squatting over another NPC or character to teabag them can be considered a form of harassment which can be a violation of the Terms of Service (ToS). As with all forms of harassment, if a player asks you to stop a behavior, you need to stop. If you continue to teabag someone that asks you to stop, that is a violation of the ToS and may lead to your account being suspended or even permanently banned. Hope this helps clear things up65 -

You get bagged if;
1. You're a Night Blade.
2. You use a Bow.
3. You attempt to gank and fail.
4. You just lose.
5. It's fun to them.
6. You complained in a whisper.
They come up with any reason really. What's funny to me is WHO does it. I can be jumped by 3 to 5 people while I'm alone and the one player who didn't get a hit in will bag.CP2,000 Master Explorer - AvA One Star General - Console Peasant - Khajiiti Aficionado - The Clan

xWarbrain✭✭✭✭✭Anyone that teabags a player that died while outnumbered should be permabanned.
The only thing more annoying than being teabagged by an opponent that outnumbered you is the use of the word "triggered", which they 100% will respond with if you say anything to them after they teabag.
"Hey, you teabagged me even though I was 1v6?"
"OMG ur triggered!"
"1v1?"
"LOL TRIGGERED"XB1 NA
Your nerf suggestion is dumb. Learn to counter other players instead of having the game rebuilt to your ability level.8
