Forum Feedback & Suggestions.

BornDownUnder

As it is, the current state of the forums is so chaotic it takes alot longer to traverse than it should, even with using search functions if looking for threads/posts specifically.

In making it alot easier and to not have such a mess, can you (Forum Staff/Admin) please re-design the current structure, creating sub-forums for individual classes within class discussion, login tech support within pc or mac tech support, client crashing tech support within pc or mac tech support, etc.

Example One:

- General Discussion
- Post your Screenshots In Here Thread
- Class Discussion
- Templar Discussion
- Templar Class Skill Discussion
- Templar Build Discussion
- Night Blade Discussion
- Night Blade Class Skill Discussion
- Night Blade Build Discussion
- Sorcerer Discussion
- Sorcerer Class Skill Discussion
- Sorcerer Build Discussion
- Dragon Knight Discussion
- Dragon Knight Class Skill Discussion
- Dragon Knight Build Discussion
- Crafting Discussion
- Alchemy Discussion
- Blacksmithing Discussion
- Clothing Discussion
- Enchanting Discussion

So on and so forth...

Example Two:

- Customer Support
- PC Support
- Login Support
- Client Crashing Support
- Crash To Desktop (CTD) Support
- Black Screen Crash Support
- Infinite Loading Screen Support
- Performance Issues Support
- Latency Support
- Frame Rate Support
- Hardware Support
- MAC Support
- Login Support
- Client Crashing Support
- Crash To Desktop (CTD) Support
- Black Screen Crash Support
- Infinite Loading Screen Support
- Performance Issues Support
- Latency Support
- Frame Rate Support
- Hardware Support


Effectively this sub-forum layout will be much easier not only for people using the forums to post in a specific area,wanting to find out information, looking for advice, etc. It will also be much easier for support staff who monitor the forums to not have to sift through several pages of crap from people who create threads such as 'Is it time for me to un-sub' or 'ZOS you've done this or that', etc.

It really would make your lives a lot easier and far less stressful in your working environment than what it currently is. Perhaps as a result there also might be an increase in constructive criticism and maturity from players (Doubtful on those however from prior experience in forums, anonymity generally = e-peen extension for most)

Segregating the forums that much would make them much worse. Yes for very specific issues it would be nice to have a forum for just a class.
(hell, I'd like a forum for Sorcerer werewolves that wear plate and use a greatsword) but seriously... a lot of issues are generic and cross between different classes. Especially anything weapon, armor or gear based, they affect all players using them.
Too many forums (IMO) not a good idea, think they have it about right at the moment !

It could actually make it alot neater and far easier to navigate, why the pessimism/negativity?

Hence General Discussion being a main forum, with specific class, armour, weapon, etc. discussion being in sub-forums.

Thank you for your opinion, although you did not provide much detail as to the basis for it.
