    When can we expect Veteran Ranks to be removed? I have been playing for a few months now, got a DK to VR 5, and have been uninspired to finish him all the way. I've since started other toons, but would be ecstatic if VR ranks were out the door quicker. They just take way too long and I would rather do higher level content with my guidies, but can't because I refuse to grind.

    Do you plan add more evil choices to quests and especially main zone chains (since they cant be skipped)?
    It feels weird to play criminal and go around helping and saving people.

    P.S. And when playing daggerfall character its feel completely wrong to attack dagerfall army npcs in some quests on Caldwell silver, or as pact character to attack pact npcs. Please give more options on quests.

    Question:

    How can you justify XP Boosters as convenience, when there is a system in place that takes years to maximize (unlike normal MMO leveling process), granting significant amounts of power through XP earned?
    Have you discussed about making stronger versions of these craftable, or having these Crown Shop potions not affect CP gain?

    Regarding the "Justice System" I recently "stole" my first few items and laundered them. However, these items don't seem to have any benefit after I spend the gold. I am unable to equip them or use them in anyway except to sell them. One item in particular was a "Swan-Satin Bathing Thong" that was valued at 250 gold. Is there some purpose other than to just sell it? Should I keep it?

    Also, I have tons of disguises and Trophies that take up many inventory slots. I cannot sell them and can only junk them. Shouldn't these be added to Collections storage so I can enjoy them in the future without losing valuable bank and inventory storage slots?

    I really hope that someone in ESO management can answer this question I have. Lately it has been bugging me about ESO and where it is heading.

    Question is ESO is a MMO that anyone can play from 18+ years. The issue I have is the mechanics of the play in question the quest to be Emperor in Cyrodiil.

    Now, there are big guilds out there that is in a position to actually plant spies or stooges in other factions than build up relationship and trust and lead other factions into the ultimate aim to get their own members to be emperor.

    My question is this healthy, the reason is it promotes cheating, lying and betraying friendship towards the quest to be Emperor-a hollow title. Imo, what is ESO encouraging? Cheaters, liars? I really will never allow my kids to play such a game.

    Some might call this game of throne, but seriously... Who wants to be suckers taken for a ride in this game and I have seen this sort of behavior ingame. This game doesnt promote healthy interaction at the expense of innocent individuals that do not ever believe another human being can so betray their trust and 'friendship'.

    So ppl that likes to play in Cyrodiil, u never know your real friend the person exceptionally nice to u will take u for a ride.

    Hello! I have a few quick questions:

    -Will we ever be able to duel our friends? I would love the ability to 1v1 someone who I have been questing with and prove who is the better warrior :)
    -Will there ever be small scale PvP such as 2v2s, 3v3s, 5v5s?
    -Will we ever be able to look at another players stats? Maybe a window would open where we could view his armor/gear the same way we look at our own.

    Thank you very much!

    Does either ZOS or Bethesda have have a comment about the fact that a group of players and women's rights activists are exploring a CAL over the new armors and comments made on one of the more recent ESO Live sessions?

    Do you have further information about this?
    A quick google search found nothing, but am interested in reading up on it.

    1/ Outside future DLC/zones, are there any plans to add a meaningful daily reward system to the game similar to the undaunted pledges /crafting writs but for other content like questing, delves, open world content etc?

    2/ Are there any plans to improve the group tool to give people more incentive to run content (like rewards for instance)?

    Will we be seeing any new skill trees? I know plenty of people want to see conjuration/necromancy beyond limiting people to 2 summons provided they picked sorcerer as a base class. Maybe a more dedicated frost line beyond just the destruction staff abilities.

    ESO is a MMO and the concept behind this kind of games its normally doing stuff in groups, and having Craglorn made exclusively to group content it's nice regarding the objective of a MMO but with more casual players or even daily players with only some minor playing hours each day some times its not effective building relations with other players to group up to do this content and PUGS its not some times rewarded with a good experience.

    Since ZOS didn't release any new story content playable for solo players and with this in mind there is any plans to have some kind of way to access the story line and story content in the area of Craglorn in solo mode?

    The time that the EU server is brought down for maintenance has changed by one hour & now clashes with the guild trader bid swapover...

    As we don't know how long the maintenance will be, guildmasters don't have any way to be online when the trader bids switchover to look for a spare trader is their bid fails.

    This is a big problem for trade guilds who rely on having a kiosk in the current trading system, & lose members if they don't have a kiosk.

    Is it possible to move the guild trader switchover to happen an hour before the server goes down as it used to be?

    A couple of questions about taunting mechanics:

    1) Do mobs have a chance of resisting taunting? And I'm talking about trash/common mobs, not bosses.
    2) If this is the case, do they resist with their spell resistance or in case of stamina taunt, they use their armor rating for example?
    3) Moreover, if they do have a chance of resisting, do they resist the additional effects of the taunting skill, for example the armor decrease of puncturing skills, separately or with the same roll?

    The motivation behind these questions was the fact that a lot of people, including myself, have noticed cases of taunting not working. As I am familiar with the rule of "over-taunting" (3 taunts on the same mob in less than 10 secs invoke taunting immunity for 10 secs), I'm sure that I have noticed this behavior, in cases that there was no chance of "accidental over-taunting", so it's either a bug (someone suggested lag as the cause of this) or there's a chance of resisting taunts. Please comment on this too, if possible.

    Thank you.

    Can you guys start doing map resets when campaigns end again? Cause the statues of Haderus (NA) right now is just down right silly. They been pvdooring for almost a month now and aren't letting up any time soon and we would push back if they weren't always at 2 or 3 pop bars compaired to the other 2 factions 1 pop bar. So I feel that a map reset would give a chance for the 2 under pop faction to get out and play again and I also feel like doing map reset when campaigns end regularly would prevent servers going into a pvdoor states over and over.

    Hello.

    Restrostaff / Destrostaff Bugging out

    Is anyone at all able to tell us if a dev is currently following up on the reports we have made about staves bugging since the animation changes made?

    There have been several threads posted on this yet no word official word on what is happening with the devs looking at it or not.

    http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/160715/staff-bugs-still-occuring-post-2-0-1

    A reply would be really appreciated by your stave-caster players :)

    Question 1: PVP Arena
    Are you still discussing the possibility of adding PVP Arena, or has this been canned indefinitely?

    Question 2: DPS Meters / performance meter
    Will access to the dps stats of other players in the group be allowed in the future, or will this be restricted indefinitely?

    Question 3: Class skill lines
    Will the other class skill lines ever be obtainable (via quests or mini-guilds, etc.) in addition to the one you select at character creation, or has the decision been made that ESO will always remain class based without any chance of it changing?

    Question 4: Guild quest lines
    Will the Fighters and Mages guild get new quest lines (or expanded upon) for Silver and Gold, and even beyond?


    Background for question 1 & 2:
    Items & gear rewards are not the end of the line with regards to why players do certain activities and spend more time in the game, it is usually just steps to something after that. This ties in with layers 4 and 5 of Maslow's hierarchy of needs, players want to (and others for the 4th layer) recognize their (and their character's) skill, accomplishments, etc. and the way to do this is to compare themselves to other players;
    Some do this in PVP by going head to head with another player either in 1 on 1 or as a small team against another team. Some player like to do this in a PVE environment but they do not have to tools (in-game) to measure their performance in this environment. The third environment is social, some players just revel in how they are perceived and received socially.

    Why was there some form of cooldown / delay added to potion drinking in 1.6?

    Now when you press the 'Q' button to drink a potion you just get the 'not available' sound/message and can't drink it. You have to stop everything... dps'ing... moving etc & keep pressing it to eventually drink a potion.

    At best this is a DPS loss, at worst it now kills you.

    Can this please be put back to how it was.

    The quicker people can drink potions, the more of them they will buy in the crown store! :D
