If people are going to act a certain way in public (such as a forum or griefing in a MMO), regardless of their history, they are then going to be treated a certain way. Whether it is brash in-the-face insulting responses to their behavior, or snide condescending passive aggressive arrogant remarks… it’s all rather much the same in the end. As you feel the need to address people in this thread that not everyone is griefing, and people are just interacting in the world, not everything is an insult either. Some comments are loud wake up calls some individuals really need to hear for their own good.

Er, what?

This is the most preposterous nonsense that I've yet seen in these forums. And I mean that in the most respectful way. Even the crying baby picture, though exasperating, at least made a kind of sense.

What on earth are you saying? Who are you talking to, or even about?

The fact is that the TOS defines griefing. This form of it, dye station heal spamming, is not even the least ambiguous. People are certainly "interacting in the world" all right... with the certain intent to annoy people. This is not an opportunity for therapeutic intervention with the people who are angry about it, or an opportunity to issue wake-up calls to the antisocial among us who will only laugh at the prospect, it's an opportunity for ZOS to step up to the plate and deal with the jerks who are doing it.

Anything more than that is just noise.

I will never understand how some people find entertainment and joy in the act of creating misfortune and displeasure in other people. Life is too short for such nonsense imo.

Turns out, Robert Hare and his colleagues estimate that between 1 and 3 percent of the general population meet the diagnostic criteria for psychopathy.

There ya go.

Thanks for your reports, folks! If another player is making it impossible for you to dye in peace, please report them in-game. Our Support Team will be happy to investigate further.

Edit: In addition, please be sure to keep your comments here civil and respectful. We ask that all posters keep the Code of Conduct in mind. If you feel as though another player has violated our Code of Conduct, please use the report feature to alert the moderation team rather than replying in-thread, as this often needlessly escalates the situation.

you can't rely on this report system, that players use, to catch cheaters. im sorry, ZOS Tristan, but you can't. its hard to pick out people in mass blobs to report. You guys need to take matters into your own hands. You guys have the power to, so why dont you? send in some Gms to put a stop to this, make it to where you cant so much as draw a weapon near these dye station, do SOMETHING.

100% punishable, especially when ppl ask repeatedly for ppl to stop and they spam it for 10 mins str8.

I take it this is only an issue on the NA server atm?

I have been playing with the dye system on my characters from all factions, on the lowest level maps to the highest and haven't seen one spell cast.

I've seen some colours that caused my eyes grief, but that's a different topic...

No. It was happening earlier in VH (around 17:00 CEST) on the EU server. Couple bright sparks having their fun chain casting something or other.

or why you can't rotate your character.

Using different dye stations for each of my characters, the problem I was having was some were inside and there was next to no lighting.

Also, the dye stations were supposed to be by the alchemy tables from what I heard, and a number of the ones I used weren't located there, and were not even marked on the map.

Why not? I wouldn't find it that hard to believe, really. :shrug:

You started off by saying you were sad because you hadn't thought about doing it first. Then continued to say it wasn't a reportable issue, even though the mod posted and encouraged people to report the problem players. And stated the players spamming their spells intentionally to interfere with other players paid their subs and they could do whatever they wanted because of it. Finally you don't seem to understand that your idea of fun is NOT fun for the people whose games you are disrupting, and those people, who might outnumber the disruptive ones, also pay their subs to enjoy their game.

You can rotate your character at the dye stations.

To quote my girlfriend: How dare you bring logic into this argument!

This simply isn't true. Griefers and those who defend them fully understand that their idea of fun is not fun for the people whose games they are disrupting. That's exactly what makes it fun for them.

Those are offensives. you are griefing.

these are not offenses. They are being pains in the behind but no one is being griefed.

It's griefing.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Griefer

"A griefer is a player in a multiplayer video game who deliberately irritates and harasses other players within the game, using aspects of the game in unintended ways.[1] A griefer derives pleasure primarily or exclusively from the act of annoying other users, and as such is a particular nuisance in online gaming communities, since griefers often cannot be deterred by penalties related to in-game goals."[2]

Would be interesting if people with this sort of personality had a unique genetic marker. Then we could create a virus that would infect only them and give them some horribly irritating rash like chicken pox every time they acted like an idiot.

In the future, stupidity may actually become painful. O.O
