I don't think these forums are meant for that type of chat. That's what other forums are for. This is more of the type of forum you reach out to if you need a question answered, or need support somehow. I understand that it's not your "traditional" forum, but ESO is also far from your traditional MMO.

Just use this page as general discussion I guess. I hated it at first, but it's not too bad on mobile phone.

I'm sure as the game evolves over time - so will the forums. I've not delved into most sections here yet but I will make sure to do so when I begin playing tomorrow when the 3 day access starts.

For the mean time, I would continue to suggest forum improvements and possibly even join unofficial fan site forums until the Official ones are completely refined.

I believe that the forums have been set up like this because, as you might forget, the game hasn't even "officially" launched yet. They will be making many additions and improvements over the next few weeks I'm sure. These will be a sort of beta forum, if you will.

Hopefully having fewer categories will aid the company reps in answering questions quicker and gathering information which will benefit us all in the long run. Just hold tight and I'm sure you will see improvements in the near future.

Have you even looked at the forums? Seriously?

Looking to the sidebar on the right, here's what I see: SKILL LINES- Racial Skills, World skills, weapon skills, guild skills, class skills, armor skills, etc.

What else, you mentioned trading? That's where the CRAFTING DISCUSSION would be utilized.

Did you even attempt to delve into any of the categories or even subcategories?

Worst forum navigation since ffxiv.

I love that a defensive mindset is developing here already lol

-Complain about lack of features "this is ES its not a normal mmo"
-Complain about for example the fact pre-order items aren't granted to all toons "ah you see this is an elder scrolls game"
-Complain about a truly awful forum with a bizarre language setup and an awful forum setup in general "ah in elder scrolls we don't need a general discussion forum or a suggestion area or easily navigated sections because its elder scrolls and we are different"

I like the game a lot... but they wont make every decision correctly. We are not trying to turn the game into a wow clone by asking for a forum that isnt awful, please spare us the "its elder scrolls its different than other games" its a forum, of course we need a general discussion area!

Please stop being homers and judge the game and devs fairly. I don't care if you work for the studio or not this is a bad forum. Look at the Wildstar or SWTOR forums and you will see clear, easy to navigate forums for an MMO that make things easier for both the community team and the players - especially players who speak different languages! I don't even use these forums! It just makes it easier to read them if you want to!

And no im not hating on the game by asking for a forum, that allows me to easily talk about all aspects of the game -_-

I just read this in another thread.

There is hope.
