Good:
  • The music is pretty awesome.
  • Questing is the best
  • PvP was awesome To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women !
  • the writing/the stories
  • feels like a game in the series
  • really good NPCs
  • It keeps me away from the wife.
  • love exploring and finding new locations
  • The crafting system
  • Skill system
  • combat is awesome
  • Graphics the scenery and atmosphere
  • solo dungeons
  • It's about as close to Skyrim as an MMO can get (I have to be honest this one hurt)
  • The mechanics are challenging
  • the way stats work
  • the open world experience
  • a great solo experience
  • The messages that the Enchanting hirelings send me. Absolutely priceless.
  • NPCs are voiced.
  • the achievements, research, etc.
  • Cooperative play
  • The animation when you claim a skyshard. It never gets old.
  • Trading
  • group dungeons

I noticed not one person mentioned the guild store, or the tiny banks as a good thing.

The Bad:
  • The power gap between levels in Cyrodiil.
  • That provisioning stuff doesn't stack properly!
  • Lack of end game
  • My biggest pet peeve with this game is a lack of a real auction house.
  • Near empty PvP / The pvp is the most badly designed pvp i have ever played.
  • It's not a sandbox
  • Lack of feedback from devs
  • impossible to find any roleplay because of the way the phasing system works
  • Bugs/crashes
  • Choices on quests have zero impact. So why bother?
  • the nerfs should never have happened.
  • It's boring.
  • other people triggering YOUR quests before you're done reading/quests being finished for you
  • class balance is utter ***.
  • 5 guilds, at first I didnt think it would be a issue, but now, I just hate it, how can you form a community if you can just shop around for guilds?
  • Recycled vet dungeons, is a cop out.
  • Inventory UI horrible optimised for PC users.
  • forever-questing (and/or grinding, most often a mix)
  • being forced into solo play
  • No way of changing skill morphs without a full respec. Also, crazy respec cost.
  • 15 minute long 'raids'
  • Alchemy... just all of it... the fact that only 3 potions are of any real benefit, the fact that 2 completely different potions have the same name just because their 1st effect on the list is the same, the small amount of reagents...
  • Lag
  • Rapid Gear Decay.
  • Too much stick for the majority, while all the carrot goes to a selected few.
  • Overall direction of game
  • Reasoning behind changing things because of bots
  • Lack of chat bubbles
  • having no-one to group with
  • The way this megaserver/phasing/sharding system seems to basically be a way to force people to cooperate against their will
  • Rewards from VR1 - VR12 seem a little low
  • Abused Farming (Anomaly, Balmath etc)
  • Broke abilities and passives
  • No Thieves or Brotherhood guilds from the start
  • intimidate/persuade but it does not translate to the other players choice if they cannot select it...
  • instances of grouping are sometimes not working
  • Memory leak problems
  • lack of proactive customer service
  • Bad grouping tools
  • the 'quick'slot system..
  • Tiny banks / Inventory space minigame taking about 25% of my play time
  • I dislike the lessening of content that is soloable. The V5 mobs in Cyrodiil are a huge case in point.
  • guild store gi is bad /guild store does not work
  • Dungeons are not rewarding enough and should be made harder but with more reward (Especially Group).
  • Unresponsive combat
  • the lack of direction and interaction from/with the devs
  • Bad guild banks options
  • It's more of a single player game that allows you to play with people that annoy you
  • Lack of an real open world
  • not seeing enemy players due to them not loaded on your screen
  • Can't reply in mail
  • No dueling
  • poor atrocity that is VR leveling. / would like to see more possibilities to level from v1 to v12.
  • No underwater swimming
  • all dungeons should be instanced to you/and or your group. That way, you can have both a solo experience, AND a social experience.
  • No law system
  • I don't like the part where I can't login for 4 days because of Error 301.
  • No housing
  • Too many skill points (I did not understand this one)
  • Lack of user friendly GUI
  • No options for floating names
  • No way to preview gear on your character before actually equipping it.
  • That I couldn't get a refund.

Just a summary of what you guys said.

    Is it too late to mention things?

    I think the lack of an auction house is a good thing! Guild stores and inventory size.... eh.... I'm neutral on those.

    I also think the small action bars are good, especially since there is such a broad range of skills to choose from.

    Aww. Well, there you have it folks. So now we can stop having threads about what we like or dislike about the game.
