Re: Can we do something about Mudcrab Chitin?
After reading this thread yesterday I went out and decided to try farming for mudcrab chitin. It yielded more than I thought, but farming mudcrabs is the opposite of the kind of activity I log in to do.
Re: Season of the Worm Cult
I agree that they content pass is overpriced but you can't compare a 2 year model to a 1 year one in terms of content to price without accounting for that extra year. We also don't know what we're getting Q4. Houses should be included because there's a house you can buy for gold in almost every chapter.

Revenge is only for those without the ability to think of a build
Re: Season of the Worm Cult
You are conflating quantity with quality. WoW is not available to buy on commercial platforms like Steam or Gog so gaging comparable reviews is not easy; but looking at user review sites like Metacritic, War Within is not looking promising. ESO recent reviews on Steam have it at mostly postive. So, WoW might have pushed more content, but the players don't exactly seem thrilled with what they got.
Re: Can we revert oakensoul/buff it, now that subclass is a thing?
I could be wrong but Oakensoul builds now see pure Sorcerer or Sorc + Assassination being way ahead of others, right?
I've seen parses of around 110K on those builds but I don't think that's realistically what the average Oakensoul player achieves, and that's where people's opinion differ.
Giving Major Berserk and Major Courage to an already 110K parse would take it really high. However, my build reaches 55-60K on Trial dummy, which I think is more like the average Oakensoul player, not the min/maxer.
On builds such as mine, adding Major Berserk and Major Courage would make a lovely difference without making us OP, really.
The ideal solution I guess would be "balancing" - how? It's beyond my knowledge.
Edit: at Oakensoul's launch my build used to hit 70-75K so over time it definitely took a hit.

Console players have FAR less gold than PC players, when they implement it suddenly the vast majority of console players will not beable to afford things, the smart thing for them to do would be to spend all their gold on materials that they could then sell for significantly more than they paid for them once cross-play was implemented.
Just because PC has a year on console players doesn't mean this is true at all, lol. 🤔 Some have more money, but nice try on trying to get the "poor" playerbase to waste their gold. 😅
PC has a lot more gold in it simply because they've always had a significantly higher population to generate that gold. As well they've had 10 years of addons to assist in generating that gold. Consoles have a fraction of the population, and a couple of months of addons helping generate said gold.
I know people on console, many of them, including myself who have hundreds of millions of gold, some have reached the billions and this was years ago. Addons weren't needed to achieve that, it really isn't that difficult to earn millions without them.
The higher population is not fact as you do not have actual numbers, just spewing years old data, and at this point I would argue console has probably reached very close to equal population with PC IF not exceeded it.
They have way higher population
No source, no fact. Please be sure to read thoroughly. Sure, the devs said this years ago. But I'll bet my gold that gap has closed quite a lot. There's nothing else I need to say about it. 🤷
I dont need to have that discussion either. [snip]

Re: Antiquities are missing from their vendors for 2-3 years
AFAIK, even the music boxes are buyable. Are any of them missing from their vendors too? The entire Antiquities system sets up the gameplay for all furnishings to be: 3/3 codex = unlock to buy
So the discrepancy doesn't make sense. Unlocking is pointless if it doesn't unlock anything.
(On top of the related problem that the map system is terrible. So bad that I'm starting to wonder if Solstice maps are actually bugged since the last patch / for 2/3 codex and beyond – see data at the bottom of the OP here: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/681576/update-on-solstice-treasure-map-leads-drop-data-aug-5-2025/p1)
Thank you for adding those threads, @Asdara. The OP topics in those are more related to the thread above, about Solstice lead data. So we have two separate bugs AFAIK: no leads dropping, and unbuyable items. Or else, gameplay so bad that it appears bugged.
It's frustrating not to see any answers at all for several years, and not know whether anyone is seeing this. I will continue reporting it I guess.

You're right. I had a closer look at the antiquities page on UESP, and all the music boxes are available at the achievement vendors.
I did notice that none of the green and blue tiered antiquities are available at the achievement vendors, which unfortunately might indicate that it is intended. However that would only make sense if the green and blue tiered antiquities dropped fairly regularly, but they absolutely do not.
