Well the upvoting seems pointless to me as long as everyone can vote multiple times and without a forum or game account. The voting should be removed.

The forums are a great idea but I would love to see a handful of improvements..

1. Some sort of feedback from the "Feedback & Suggestions" form to know your vote counted. A +1, that pops up, a tag that says "voted", or a cooldown till you can vote again... or if the votes are intended to be limited then the button greys out.

• I clicked "Upvote", and seemingly nothing happened? Clicked it a few more times in confusion then looked on that website for any sort of clarification, found none and came back to this forum looking for clarification. The best of which just seems to be "you can click it as much as you want". If true, sounds terrible and nonrepresentive. The Bugs & Pain points section appears to have a transition to "voted up", so why not the other?

It does increment as you click it, but the platform does pause votes on things in an effort to combat manipulation in exactly the way people want it to. If you vote on any other topics, you will see them increment properly.

Notably the thing that they've already confirmed is extremely important to the players, the thing that they've confirmed is underway, the thing that they're going to make a writeup on in the next few weeks, and the thing that has almost twice as many votes as the next highest has voting disabled because it's getting votes so fast.

But again, this is not a popularity contest. I hate to bust anyone's bubble, but they're not going to just finish all 6 remaining Class refreshes in U52 just because of this poll. I wouldn't be surprised to see Warden and Sorc both drop in U52 considering Sorc was supposed to drop in U52 from the beginning and it got delayed until January, so it would make sense if they could solve this problem. I'm assuming it could be based on pet mechanics, and as soon as they figure out Bear, they already have that set up for Sorc's pets (and Necro's, once they get to it). But I don't think it's likely that the Refreshes will finish sooner than originally planned just because people are asking for it to.

This is a great initiative. But you need to advertise it somewhere, because I found out about it by accident from someone's stream. I'm sure many people would like to share their ideas (or at least vote for others) but are unaware of this opportunity.

Another challenge is promoting new suggestions – showing people newly added ones. Finding them at the bottom of the list is not the easiest task. You can:
1) Make default sorting "Newest".
2) Add a block with the newest suggestions
3) Add a subscription to new suggestions

Sometimes finding them at all is a problem. I saw one that I supported. Went back to see how it was doing and it was gone. I went through both lists and it was on neither. What happens to it, I will likely never know. It was already approved so unless the team changed their mind because I liked it (Which should never happen) I can't imagine what went wrong.

Why was my suggestion marked as spam and removed? Sure, I get that my suggestion is very unlikely to be implemented, but it's not spam since it was my only post and there are no other posts suggesting the same thing. Did it get auto-flagged for AI or something because I used an em-dash (I'd really hope that you guys aren't using AI to review these), or is it something else?

A Suggestion for the Boards: Give us button at the top of the page where we can make a "Merge" request.

I have been scrolling though the posts that are there and there are quite a few that have votes on them that are for the same suggestion but are in different places.

Example: Grand Master Furnishing Station in https://elderscrollsonline-feedback.featureupvote.com/ with 436 votes currently and Give us a housing crafting station in https://elderscrollsonline-bugs.featureupvote.com/ with 24 votes currently

If you let us have a "Merge" button where we can point out these as the community finds them it will help you guys know what might have been missed and allow you to merge them for more accurate data on your end of how many votes that topic is really getting.

Having multiple posts about the same topic will just water down the vote data and defeats the purpose of keeping track of it IMO.

Otherwise this is a Fantastic tool!
Thank you for adding it!

Hello @ZOS_JessicaFolsom !

Any updates on how this community feedback experiment is going ? There's a lot of different ideas being given, it must be overwhelming to debate about it all

I really like this concept but I'd suggest some changes to it.

Similar to what OSR (Old School Runescape) does.

Before any major change gets put into the game they poll the community. If it's not approved by a vast majority of voters (like 80/20) then it doesn't get put in without a lot of internal thought/considerations to why it was a closer to 50/50 decision.

Is the dashbord a thing still? It seems nobody from the DevTeam is doing anything with it over the course of a couple of days. New entries stays frozen, no changes in any status. Just one thing "In Exploration " and one in "Not planned".

Not very encouraging.

The first post literally says they're giving it a few weeks before they start updating things with statuses, they might not even start doing it till after NEXT week. A bit unreasonable to expect any update on any of them before then.

Can we get a Justice System tag?

Is it possible it was merged with another similar post?

It appears to have been moved to the Feedback/Suggestions section rather than Bugs/Pain Points: https://elderscrollsonline-feedback.featureupvote.com/suggestions/724586/give-us-a-housing-crafting-station

Indeed it’s back. I didn’t realize there are sections.

I tried remaking my suggestion since I got no response as to why the original was removed, and the new one was removed as well.

Why were these removed? Why was my initial post marked as spam? Is there some hidden list of things that you're not allowed to suggest? Do the moderators who review these simply get to decide what they like and don't like?

The lack of communication on why these were removed is frustrating. Unlike on the forums, there's no moderator comment, no notification, nothing. Not even a way to find the archived post without the direct link.

It was probably removed because they have absolutely no intention of removing large game systems. It's not about liking or not liking something, and likely wasn't seen as spam or trolling. While getting a response back about WHY it was removed would probably have been a good idea, the fact that both submissions were denied is probably in and of itself an obvious reason why given what the topic was. Especially because like...they're LITERALLY releasing the rest of the system in a few weeks.

I'm sure there are plenty of things suggested that will never be implemented, and some of those probably don't get removed, but I don't that's the point of the point of the dashboard.
There's no rule about minimum-viability or likelihood for making a suggestion, so why did my post get removed?
It's not a troll post or spam, it's something I genuinely care about and think is important for the game, so why should it get removed? If this dashboard has no bearing on whether something gets implemented or not, then why remove a suggestion even if it's improbable? Why not allow the community to give their feedback, as is the stated intention of this dashboard? These forums aren't held to nearly the same standard, and plenty of wild things are suggested here and not removed.

If the point of this dashboard is to gauge what players want and think is important, then it's just not a good feeling having my thoughts stamped-out and deemed unworthy by some hidden rule or metric, all without any communication. If my feedback isn't wanted, that's fine, I'd just prefer the moderators say so, so I don't waste my time.

I just read it and I think it is not your topic but your delivery. Perhaps if you make a suggestion that doesn't sound like an attack it would avoid getting archived.

I understand not having good feelings when your idea/suggestion disappears without a comment.
I would suggest that the craft bag be part of the base game because there are so many ingredients that a non-member cannot hope to keep them all on hand so they can do crafting dailies. Just isn't possible. I don't suggests because others attack my comments because they can and that is not a good feeling either.
