Though to be fair, this being a public discussion forum, you cannot set rules about people being able to post in your thread. People are free to opin within the rules of the forum.

Of course. In my post, I said, "Of course, nobody can control what anyone posts in a thread..." However, as I stated, it does show that people tend to complain here. Even when asked not to, and there are plenty of other places in the same subforum to do so, some of them still will.

I think it's an inevitable consequence of having an official forum. People who just want to chat about the game will go to whichever platform they prefer, whether that's here, Discord, reddit, social media, whatever, but people who want to complain without feeling like they're shouting into space will always come here, because it's where they've got a chance of ZOS seeing their feedback.

It's definitely not platform related, because I've seen the exact opposite for games which have a fan forum and an official Discord - the forum is mostly positive (or at least neutral) with people chatting about the game and the Discord feels like scrolling through endless lists of complaints, because it's where people go to get their complains heard.

You kind of countered your first point with your second. I agree somewhat with your first point. If someone has a complaint or a problem, they'll probably figure the best place to be heard by ZOS is the official forum. But I've played many games over the years and hung out on many forums (for both MMO and SP games), and they haven't been like this forum. Yes, there were complaints and habitual whiners and such, but not to the degree as there are here, where the majority of the threads are just complaining, and there are multiple threads complaining about the same thing. IOW, there's a lack of balance here that's been present on most of the official forums I've hung out on.

When I was a new player and wayshirined into Alikr near a domen just at the right moment. Seeing 30 plus players mounted up and running past you is EPIC for the first time.

The very first day I went into Alik'r, I was mystified by all the x, y, a, b, z, etc. in zone chat. I had no clue what it meant and kept wondering about it while questing. Figured it out at some point, but still remember being mystified in the beginning.

So you saying the forums are as unbalanced as the game? 😋

I wanted to leave my general feedback about the event and how I'm feeling about the state of the game at the moment.

Firstly, the positive: I've played the game since beta, and took multiple year breaks. I always come back. I really enjoy the storytelling, the atmosphere, and the game mechanics. I don't expect to stop playing any time soon.

I have noticed the level of quality significantly reduced in recent weeks/months. Things like:
- people being able to get into Eastern Solstice
- Antiquities sites popping in Eastern Solstice (I'm avoiding antiquities in Solstice till this is fixed).
There's more, but I'm not recalling them all at the moment. It feels like the game is getting lower funding, and QA is being outsourced.
I was excited to play the Writhing Wall Event, and spent a bunch of time getting caught up on the story so that I could play the event. I was very disappointed with the event. Some of the quests were frustrating (getting items from animals across Tamriel). Eventually, I've settled into a daily pattern of doing just 3 quests per day for the 3 daily golden chests. I generally do one invasion, and gather the vitreous souls from it, and do one crafting quest. There's simply nothing compelling for me to spend any more time on this event. I suspect given the slowdown in phase progress, that many others are doing the same thing.

One annoying thing that continues to bug me is that I have 2 quests stuck in my log for the event that I'm guessing will remain there till the wall is down.

As I said, I'll continue to play the game. I really hope you don't break the base game, and some of that content. I hope you guys figure out this transition you're having and get back on track.

Question: Will the style pages, house, and fragments still drop/be available after the event is over?

Notes:
-The event world boss really should have had a daily quest and golden coffer tied to him.

-I'm still getting quite a few vitrified souls dryspills for some reason. Sometimes I get enough for the quest two or three camps in a row, and sometimes I don't get any vitrified souls at all for 5+ camps.
