ZOS refusal to deal with racism against Hispanic Players and what you can do about it

Hi all-

A player on DC continually makes comments about Mexican Americans and Mexicans "emerging from the mud" in reference to immigrants swimming across the Rio Grande in Texas. He is from Texas as he has stated on zone chat in [snip] on several occasions. I have reported this disgusting behavior to ZOS and they have refused to take action. It is important the player base know about it so this person can be encountered and treated appropriately. This type of behavior is unacceptable and ZOS refusing to act on it is a direct de facto endorsement of it and it should not be tolerated. I am happy to let you know in game who this person is.

Please do not guild this player nor play with him/her. I don't care how good he is. [snip]

[Edit for bait.]

    I absolutely agree with you, but still feel the need, for your own sake, to remind you that naming and "shaming" (though this player's behaviors shames them on its own) is against the forum's rules and you're at risk of being banned.

    Otherwise, it's unacceptable and ZOS should indeed take action.

    Unfortunately doing a naming and shaming post is unlikely to get you help and more likely to get the thread locked.
    Either keep reporting or just place on ignore which isn’t right but saves you having to see idiots like this person.

    report -> ignore

    This type of thing is done to get exactly the reaction you have done. There are systems in place to deal with this type of thing and your "job" is to report the player and move on with your day.

    You are only asking for trouble by trying to entice others to shun the guy, and you yourself can get into trouble for this behavior.

    Not everyone is going to say things that you agree with, some people are just ignorant and spew hateful comments as jokes, that may be accepted in their community.

    When you react to it like this, you are giving them what the desire.
    Tl;dr really weigh the fun you have in game vs the business practices you are supporting.

    It depends what system you are on but you can report them on consoles directly. Though make sure to have screenshots and the player's name. Good luck.

    Really? I'm cuban and i've never experienced any racism in ESO, nor ever while playing games online tbh.

    Live your life and stop looking for things to be offended about.

    There's your problem right there!

    You said DC.

    4 years I have been playing this game, and only 2 years of posting in chat, DC is thee most rudest, lame, flame bait, salty, Overpowered Salty, crap kicker, slacker, thinks this is a game and not a tactical situation, runs at the mouth like anyone cares, Saltiest Salt shaker in all gaming next to RUST! Second only to rust.

    No one in Cyrodiil son, I'm sorry to say knows how to play, how to group, how to properly guild raid, much less guild, and when giving sound, military type tactical advantage play style to win, you will be bombarded by the stfu team in a heart beat, and racism, yeah, this has always been a factor, I say 20%, but 75% in DC for Cyrodiil, no matter what time you play, has always been loaded with salt.

    Which is why you see more EP and slightly more AD because people stop playing as DC and make EP groups to come in and 60 man zerg DC as well as team orange 40 ep and 30 ad zerg 3 way DC in a heart beat.

    DC zone is also full of spias, so be careful of what you post, DC, that just hang around as idle (AKF) in some keeps, relay all zone chat to their EP and some AD friends.

    1. If only we could have a larger block list.
    2. If only after blocking so we don't see the brainless chat, that ZOS also makes it that the person that got blocked (ignored), also does not see our chat. As they , yes can still see us, just that we don't see them. That's like a 2 way stalk mirror.
    3. If only ZOS actually gave out bans to those that start flame bait instead of giving them to the people replying and putting these half wits in their place.

    Best bet, place those on report and perma block. No need to see their *** ways and salty mouths.

    Only other suggestion, build an all powerful EP toon, and join those that decided ball zergs with their flame destro ult and bag of magic life healers so they don't die, and just get revenge and kill them all. Kill every last DC player until the streets run red with their blood. Except me please, I'm a loyalist, always loved Daggerfall, but certainly not it's people. Thanks man ! Rock on.

    BTW, I'm forced to be retired from this game since zos contracted with akamai which is now as of October funneling my ip address through too many flooded transit lines on the net so I'm over powered by high ping, lag and disconnects. Never was before, I'm Hawaii everything was perfect just up until October and nothing zos is going to do to fix it. So, c'est la vie.

    Greetings all,

    After removing a good portion of the comments that were posted here, we have decided this thread shall remain closed. While we can understand how frustrating other players can be, creating threads on those players leads to an excessive amount of baiting posts as well as handfuls of "inb4lock" posts (which are FAR from constructive) thus causing the thread to turn negative. Fast.

    When encountering someone who is doing nothing more than causing problems, we strongly advise reporting said player. If you are on console, you can report that player directly to Sony/Microsoft. We know just how bothersome and troublesome players such as the one OP is describing can prove to be. So when encountering such players, avoid engaging them but be sure to report them.

    Thank you for your understanding,
    -Greg-
