[SUGGESTION] Immersive Merchants/Stores

DorianDragonRaze

Imagine ESO Merchants and Player Guild stores where the other players not are just standing still but are evaluating weapons, examining armors, sniffing food and potions etc (depending on the store type or random in case of guild stores or general merchants).
How much more alive Tamriel would look!

If I understood correctly, then this could be implemented as follows: some of the players at the guild kiosk will be hidden (as pets and summoned creatures hide), the remaining 3-5 players will automatically play an animation where they will take fruits, inspect potions, try the sharpness of blades...
upd: I am always annoyed by the crowds of people next to the banker. If most of them disappeared, and the remaining people who are busy with the banker would look to me like people who transfer coins and goods, then that would be great

Sounds like an interesting idea. I'd also wish something like that for the card game tables. So far (if they haven't changed that meanwhile?), players just disappear. Which makes the tavern look as empty as before (or maybe even worse, as there are gaming tables now, but it looks like no one was using them).

Unfortunately, I'm not sure how good chances are for such a change. It sounds like quite an effort for something that probably has no big use from ZOS' perspective.

It would be nice, but might increase the server or client load: all those animations have a cost.
