Are we supposed to be getting increased Archival Fortunes in IA?
Just noticed this today, and don't recall having an event that should be affecting the Archival Fortunes drop in IA. The marauders, Tho'at, and Pilferer are dropping increased Archival Fortunes in IA. Muniment chests from side portals and cycle bosses are normal.
[edit] PSNA if that matters.

Auto-decline setting for guild invites to mitigate guild invite spam
As a guild leader, a topic that I see come up fairly often is how certain guilds will park characters at wayshrines in busy cities and spam guild invites to anyone nearby with an empty slot. Ignoring them only goes so far as they turn up on another new account later, and it seems to be multiple iterations of the same main guild. This is an ongoing problem, and previously the only advice given was to ask them to stop and then report if they continue, otherwise they are technically not breaking any rules.
We already have auto-decline settings for things like duels and ToT matches. Adding a setting which allows players to toggle receiving guild invites on and off wouldn’t be a perfect fix, but it would definitely help alleviate some of this issue.

Re: ZOS, please stop with the "some players" spiel...
Is this one of those British English vs. US English things perhaps? Sure, technically "some players" can be interpreted as 'all players less one', but that is certainly not how I would naturally interpret "some players". Rather, in the way ZOS uses the phrase, it indicates to me a small, probably even insignificant, sub-set of all players. Is that different for a US reader? If ZOS wants to reliably indicate a significant subset, or leave it ambiguous, they should use different phrasing. But I'd prefer it if they just fixed the servers...
I don't think this is British vs US it's an inflection you're reading into it. I would not interpret it as a slight but a factual statement and I'm a British English speaker.
Re: Please allow saving Scribing skills to the Armory

Might be wrong, but I thought for ink you had to pay for every skill, suffix, and affix only once. So changing back to a skill you've used prior is free.
You get charged an Ink for each change that is made each time.
So for example if you have a Scribed Ability that uses Physical Damage, Warrior’s Opportunity, Vulnerability, changing just the Physical Damage component while leaving the other parts unchanged will charge you 1 Ink. Changing all 3 parts will charge you 3 Ink.
If you decided to change all 3 parts of your Scribed Ability and pay the 3 Ink cost, but then decide to return to the old version you had just prior, you’ll be charged another 3 Ink.
Re: More skill lines and weapons please!
So more skill lines for more weapons that will either not be used, or be OP in order to be used, all to perpetuate this fallacy that more somehow results in "build diversity" and "balance." When all it does is create a meta-meta because new has to be insanely powerful in ESO in order to make it worthwhile. Which is exactly what has happened with subclassing. As predicted by anyone who played ESO longer than 20 minutes.
This game has become laughable in the amount of options on paper players are offered versus actual, usable skills. Stop adding more and actually balance what is there. I don't need a crossbow or my player singing a silly song. I definitely don't need more power. Heck, I ran a VHRC pug this weekend where we got the trifecta without even trying.

Re: Killing Questers - I think I owe someone and apology
So, in a game open to the general public, some people are toxic. And guess what - they can be found participating in all aspects of the game. I've encountered them in dungeons and trials, at spellscar, in a public dungeon, in pvp... I've even encountered toxic players in the housing community. It's really not mind blowing news. With a large enough sample size, one will encounter such people anywhere and everywhere.
Making it into this fake "us vs. them" thing based on the parts of the game we prefer, as some always do, is ridiculous... and imo little more than a way to absolve ourselves of examining our own behavior and that of the communities we're part of.

Currency function not available on console?
I am working on an add-on for console that needs to access currency in the character's inventory and bank. I discovered that the following four function are to be used for this:
@ZOS_Kevin So I assume these are not available for console add-ons? Why not? Will these be added later? And is there a place where we can see which functions are not available on console?
GetCarriedCurrencyAmount GetBankedCurrencyAmount DepositCurrencyIntoBank WithdrawCurrencyFromBankThese functions work on PC, but as soon as I switch to console mode on PC or try it out on an actual console, I get a nil error message on these functions.

Re: Currency function not available on console?
It's not so much that they're not available for console as it is that those functions are deprecated, even on PC. The only reason they work on PC is because we aliased them. But we're not bringing all of PC's aliased functions to console. These are the aliases on PC:
You should switch to using the new syntax and move away from the deprecated syntax. You can find all the aliases in AddonCompatibilityAliases_PC.lua
function GetCarriedCurrencyAmount(currencyType)
return GetCurrencyAmount(currencyType, CURRENCY_LOCATION_CHARACTER)
end
function GetBankedCurrencyAmount(currencyType)
return GetCurrencyAmount(currencyType, CURRENCY_LOCATION_BANK)
end
function DepositCurrencyIntoBank(currencyType, amount)
TransferCurrency(currencyType, amount, CURRENCY_LOCATION_CHARACTER, CURRENCY_LOCATION_BANK)
end
function WithdrawCurrencyFromBank(currencyType, amount)
TransferCurrency(currencyType, amount, CURRENCY_LOCATION_BANK, CURRENCY_LOCATION_CHARACTER)
end

Re: The Crown Store has reached critical levels of immersion breakage
It's a shame because I really liked the emote dances for that personality, but the idle animation is just so bad. No one would be like that all the time unless s/he was intoxicated. I didn't get it, because of the idle.
