Re: Antiquity Delete Option
This falls into "is this really something to prioritize?" category for me. As I already guessed, the next complaint would be about getting leads again you already deleted.
I don't find it that hard to ignore leads I'm not interested in, even if the list is long.

Re: PLEASE do something about the IA Dragons
You're not supposed to 'outmaneuver' the sunspire dragons or their attacks either (unless you want to kill your group members I guess), you are in fact supposed to stand still between the neck and wing (unless you're able to range tank them as a tank), actually kinda like IA.
Re: Should IA drop gear that is not IA specific?
Speaking for myself, I'm very unhappy with Infinite Archive dropping random overland gear I already have. With so many IA gear sets, and every one of those sets coming in all 3 weights, why the heck is random overland gear diluting the IA gear drops?
Every time I get a drop in IA that is trash overland gear I lose a little bit more respect for ZOS and their marketing.
These are the design elements that led me to stop giving $ to ZOS after U35. Forced grinding for hundreds of hours is not my thing. Especially since, with exception of the puzzle rooms, nothing in IA is new content.
If ZOS can't respect my time investment, then they don't get my financial support.

Dragons are in huge outdoor areas in Elsweyr and have a much larger area to fight them in Sunspire. This doesn't diminish their skills or power there.
And in Sunspire those wingslaps can kill you instantly.
And in Sunspire we are there with 11 other players. Not on our own in a very small area that leaves very little room for the player to maneuver.
Since you used the fire dragon as your example in the OP..
During flight phase, you have the same amount of room to stand in at the edge of the arena in both Sunspire and IA. In sunpsire, the arena has the added molten lava pools tossed into the mix, IA you do not. In SS you have Atros to fight in the arena while the dragon is on the ground, in IA you do not.
Character combat placement in both SS and IA are exactly the same mechanic. If you're familiar with SS, follow the exact same mechanic in IA.

Guar Discrimination Needs To Stop
As title says; enough with the Guar discrimination. What do I mean by this?…
Flame Atronach crates are back, and instead of a badass Cold-Flame Atronach Guar, we have two Radiant Apex mounts that seat the exact same… why?
The Flame Atronach Guar is the best looking Guar in the game IMO, the easiest bag ever, just reskin it blue to match the new skill styles… is it such an ask for a SECOND Radiant Apex Guar?
While I get some people like their wolves and senches… there have been hundreds of them.
We have had ONE Radiant Apex Guar and it is the silliest looking thing ever. We need more cool guars, stop making us a meme!

You could obviously just farm the sets in the specific zones, but this is a nice alternative method.How is getting a set drop we first got 8 years ago a "reward"?
So you prefer tens of hours of grinding for a gear piece to spending 1000 gold to buy what you need.
Overland gear drops in IA are curated drops. I'd sooner just farm the last few pieces of an overland set in IA with a couple quick Arc 2 Cycle 4 Boss runs. Each run being 30ish minutes.
Re: Should IA drop gear that is not IA specific?
I'm not sure how you got to that conclusion because I didn't mention anything about grinding overland sets in IA, but I do think it's a nice bonus on top of all other rewards for all the reasons mentioned in this thread.So you prefer tens of hours of grinding for a gear piece to spending 1000 gold to buy what you need.
I'm with the OP. I'd rather not grind IA if 90+% of the gear that drops isn't IA specific.
Thinking that overland set drops somehow replace IA set drops is just plain wrong, the whole IA set acquisition is balanced around max two pieces per arc. The funny thing is I kinda agree with the OP, farming IA sets is a bit on the grindy side, but the overland set drops aren't part of the problem.
Re: U50 Feedback Thread for Vengeance Campaign
Lets get to it.
Full disclosure I am not a supporter of Vengeance as it stands currently as I truly believe it is destroying the identity of the game. That being said I have been attempting to give it a fair shake and understand why it COULD be good for PVP in ESO in the right format.
First lets talk about the Idea of adding 4 roles and having a skill line for each. While this seems unique and interesting on the surface, the abilities attached to some of these lines are problematic and NOT in a small way.
Pain Point: Not enough burst damage to put away players. So you add 2 massive shields that can be triggered by multiple people in multiple roles......
Pain point: No resource management. So you add a Heal absorb that also increases Dodge Roll cost. Do you see the correlation here.
Add to this you have locked the perks behind a Veterancy wall, once again limiting how we can express our independent play styles and builds and you have created a disaster waiting to happen.
Those are just three of the problematic abilities Silence/stun, Disorient the list goes on. Simply look at abilities that say can not be blocked dodged or mitigated.
Class refresh, While not completely tied to Vengeance, there is a portion of this that translates, By releasing one refresh at a time you create a power vacuum. At present DK even in Vengeance is far more powerful than the remainder of the classes.
And Mastery lines will not do enough to rectify this.
Please do not misunderstand me, I appreciate the fact that there is a concerted effort going into PVP and that you seem to be listening to the player base. It still feels as though the PVP veterans the ones that have the knowledge lived the issues of the past are being brushed off. ( I do not fall into that category but know many that do and have voiced concerns) I'm still relatively new to ESO in terms of the game being around but even I see issues here.
Instead of adding more broken things lets address the issues that are wanted by the players.
More agency within the classes. Let US pick our Morphs for abilities
More Counterplay options. Some form of Expedition to allow for outnumbered fights, better recovery options
Slightly adjusted damage totals or lowering of Health to 50k
Take the Perk system and rework it, because honestly most of them are terrible and the ones that aren't are still locked behind a wall with Veterancy. I mean most PVP players are not going to give up Crit Dmg for Crit chance that's counter intuitive.
I also see Population issues popping up during the week. And early morning weekends. I see 100s of one alliance roaming the lands while the others cant muster a grp due to time or alliance preferences. A soft cap on numbers would help I.E. 50/20/20 until the numbers get within a % and so on at each level, so that one faction can not dominate the map unfairly. (just an example the numbers could be much higher but the point stands).
With that said lets look at the Idea that there will only be 2 options for Que. I see that being a disaster as you try to force people into Vengeance and they just completely abandon Cyrodiil because they cant play due to being locked out or committed to one faction. This is something to consider moving forward.
Its ok to get it wrong and have to take a step back and revisit an idea instead of doubling down on something that is likely to blow up on you.
Again Please realize I and many others do appreciate the work you are putting in to PVP we are a very passionate Community and we all LOVE this game.
