Ditto.

• On consoles the UI needs improvement as we lack every bit of information that PC can use with add-ons.
  
• Console we lack a text chat for some reason; an mmo named "Neverwinter" has text chat along-side voice chat.
  
• I'm all for guild traders but I'd like a system where it connects all guild traders into a central hub that everyone can access (Like Runescapes Grand Exchange). With that players don't have to go all over Nirn looking for some crafting supplies that aren't at a ridiculous prices e.g. 10 makkos for 10k.
  
• Not sure if you're trolling but the combat system i.e. balance is completely laughable. You've got NBs and Sorcs at the top of the food chain while templars/DKs are at the bottom (unless it's PvE). If I need to go into detail please tell me I can give you a wall of text or refer you to a lot of form posts regarding the various unfair balances this game has as of now.
  
• All group activities in ESO are practically dead now saying all is a rather bold statement but IC is literally dead, PvP barely thrives even though it's full of class imbalances and is so laggy people have given Cyrodiil the name Lagrodiil due to how unstable the servers are and this has been going on for A LONG TIME, Dungeons are only done for the sake of EXP grinding and monster masks/gold n silver keys, who does craglorn in groups anymore I haven't heard of anyone searching for those lol, as far as I know no one actually goes after bosses in IC anymore (unless it's sewers farming for tel var stones), wrothgar bosses are only done for the daily and that's literally it, wrothgar public dungeons are only done for exp grinding/finding motifs (nothing really unique here carry on), the end game content as of now is still technically in a W.I.P as it's full of bugs that need to be fixed over and over again.

Well let's see. Block casting and animation cancellation are 2 major things that are broken with it that need fixed and to do that ZOS has to redo the entire combat system.

There's still block casting????

I thought that was a thing of the past...(cannot test it because server is down but I don't think there's block casting anymore)

There's a lot of things that can be changed about the UI, especially some basic functionality most players use add-ons to replicate (e.g. better health bars, guild store options, options like "BankIt"). I love the add-ons provided by ESO's community, but all too often, add-ons keep losing support or falling by the wayside whenever a player leaves.

I've seen add-ons that say "X quit, so I had to take it over." And then later, "Y quit, so I had to take it over from Z" and... eventually, what happens if that popular add-on loses support? A large chunk of them them seem to break every major API update.

I definitely want add-on support to keep going, but there's a lot of basic functions that can be added to the game. I mean ,why do you need an add-on to see what motif an item has?

Huge waste of money. The game is working and fun as it is. But the development team is terrible at balancing and addressing bugs.

Truth be told they really screwed up the launch of this game. Trying to be the next WoW with subscription fee on top of buying the game that had so many bugs and broken quests marred this games reputation.

You think ESO has enough clout to try a reboot? Final Fantasy did but if this game sinks then that's it. No more ES MMO's ever.

Right now they are doing an okay job finally making the game attractive to new players. But the way the release updates and their timeframe is borked.

LFG tool should of been reworked with a better UI and search system, before Christmas when people had time off to play this game. Instead we are waiting to February or later before they make patch to address the balance and bugs.

Like I said they dev team have no clue how to prioritize game development.

• Better UI how? Explain. Explaination of anything in this game? Players can hardly gleam any useful information about the game from tooltips or state explainations. UI is much too bare with no optional damage text, the tab targeting system is a mess in large groups, and there's no on screen buff/debuff tracking.
• What extra chat options are you asking for? Likely referring to console, where the only method of chat is awful prewritten notes like "Rally here!" and voice chat that isn't all too great either.
• You mean an auction house? Highly unlikely they'll completely scrap guild traders in favor of an auction house. We don't need an auction house, we just need a functioning guild trader system that allows us to actually browse items conveniently. No search bars for specific items by name, etc. Looking for 1 nice item? Hope you have an hour to travel through the world to go to each trader and have to change 5 settings each search.
• What's wrong with the combat system, and what should it be redone into? Reliable combat. Have you stepped into vma? One run in there and you'll learn how broken and unresponsive this game's combat can be, even with totally fine ping.
• What stam and magic build issues? Be specific. Likely the staggering difference of performance between the two. In PvE balance is horrendous, classes are leagues behind others and are often blacklisted from groups because they cannot preform. Stamina has always been behind caster builds in PvE, and still is. There's no trade off currently where one can out preform the other in instance X compared to Y. Casters get range, innate self healing, high stat pools, and scale better with CP compared to stam. What does stam have? Steel tornado and sneak attacks- which both are/have been nerfed. In PvP there's a lot of issues between the two that you could spend easily over 100 pages arguing over.

  These are not enough, end game PvE is all but dead. 9/10 dungeons are out of date dropping v14 gear, and all the v16 scaled places drop gear thats worse than crafted, leaving 0 incentive to actively do them. Trials have been left untouched since September of last YEAR. Half of the stuff you listed are all one and done instances that would be pointless to rerun in their current state. The issue isn't a lack of content per say, but a lack of content that has any reason to even do.

Yes I think they should shut the game down and do all of those things, I dont care if it takes a year and 6 months this game needs it

Gilliamtherogue said pretty much what I was thinking point by point. They could fix these things, so what if some are hard and would take some time, last I looked they get paid to do this. Problem is they lack effective leadership driving their efforts in wrong directions, or their understaffed, either doesn't bode well for the game. Non of this has anything to do to make it more like "wow". It just needs fixing, denying that fact doesn't make it go away.

IC is literally dead,

What? People say this all the time, and it's bull shavik. I play on NA PS4 and have yet to find an IC sewers that isn't active.
