Re: Fixing the Sorceror & Necromancer
Sure, and let's just keep making every game the same...you know, homogenize them all
[snip] Keep to the topic rather than needing to leave negativity over a common complaint. This has been an issue for years. [snip] They don't understand what a Necromancer is, they mixed up the classes

ToT is a card game. It's not PvP.

Re: Future of Battlegrounds
Honestly, they should just remove BG altogether. If it sparks this much argument, it’s clearly poorly designed. Don’t get me wrong , I play BG every day when I log in, but it’s not out of excitement. I just want to finish my dailies, especially PvP, even if it’s really bad XD.

Re: Your Play Experience b/t Update 45 and Update 46 with Subclassing and Scribing In Base Game
Got further in IA in offensive armor (which sometimes made Sharp nervous with how low my health would go!) but it was fun and I not only got further but am enjoying my “daedralogist” build (Tome Herald + Storm Calling + Daedra Summoning) much more than the oakensorc build I used before! Plus, it feels fitting for this character, after all the time she’s spent in the Archive, the Arcanist abilities seem like a natural evolution for her character. 
Re: Crafting Surveys should be able to be done in one go!
Of all the timesinks in this game having to run a few meters back and forth between harvesting each of the surveys at same location is probably one of the lesser ones.
ZOS should reduce timesinks but there are much worse and more unnecessary ones.
You need to do lot of crafting dailies to collect so many surveys.
Especially with alchemy surveys players go back and forth to reset nodes until they get the number of columbine nodes they want.
Maybe a player also wants to harvest only a few ones or without eso+ has inventory full before harvesting all.
I don't think any of these are really good reasons why we shouldn't have them all in one go.
Just because other timesinks are worse doesn't mean we should have any of them. I get the idea of an mmo is to be grindy since sometimes MMOs just have to be, but I honestly don't think they have to go that hard at being grindy. MMO's constantly make the mistake of not being balanced in terms of timesinks and ZOS is just really not great at balancing them.
And don't even get me started on non eso plus players. I feel like this game is just infinitesimally worse without ESO plus, and I think that instead of using that as an excuse to not remove a timesink, maybe we should be more in an uproar about how ZOS makes ESO Plus a necessity, because otherwise non eso plus members are just playing inventory simulator anyways, and how is that any fun? Especially when they take away bank space for not having plus, which makes it harder to manage inventory. Which brings me to say that this game has the worst inventory management system i've ever seen. So we could theoretically fix that first, before using it as an excuse to not remove ridiculous timesinks.

Re: Time-consuming Daily Endeavours
The longest it has ever taken me to do 3 endeavours was 3.5 hours. It was the day where we had to loot 3 thieves' troves. People kept posting helpful tips on here where to find them, but there were never any spawned when I got there. It was so frustrating!
Luckily, one of the weekly endeavours that week was to loot five thieves' troves. So I just stationed 3 alts at the places I'd been lucky the day before and kept checking in on them until the troves spawned. It took me only another half hour (doing other things all the while) to complete the weekly.
Yes, I remember that one. One of the worst daily endeavors ever. At the end of the day, half of our guild was out looking for troves to help out guild mates who hadn't found 3 yet.

You decide what to to with your lifetime.
We are aware doing the endeavors is optional. That's not some amazing unique insight only those not doing them possess.
I don’t know about OP, but I choose to do them because I’m only inches away from getting the Duskfall Welwa, a mount I really like that will disappear from the store in 4 days. So yes, missing out on that because of 1 or 2 missed endeavors would be a bummer.
This being my own choice doesn’t mean I can’t post “well, that took more time then I liked” on the forum.
It also doesn’t mean I’m ‘a slave to endeavors’, think ‘the world will stop turning’, or am unable to ‘decide what I do with my lifetime’. Those are unnecessarily dramatic straw man arguments, and frankly, I find them somewhat insulting.

When it says kill with scribed skill it doesn't mean that's the only skill you can use. My healer was getting kills for using trample through trash packs in a trial. Just touch enemies with your skill and mow them down with your usual damage skills.
Are you sure? I had to kill far over 40 foes for the endeavor to complete. Though that could also be because Mirri was finishing off a great deal of them.
(Also, netches are just too cute, at least for me. I'll gladly walk the extra distance to get voriplasms instead.)
