Then it would be just as bad as it was before One Tamriel. Back then players could only play with characters in their alliance, which wouldn't be a factor now but separating by difficulty would be just as restricting.
Inconsistency in the visual appearance of the Meridian lens structure at Sunport Rampart Camp
Just out of curiosity, are the visuals for the Sunport Rampart Camp bugged on PC NA? I don't mean recently, I mean for the whole event so far. I got the impression from what was said before the launch of the Battle for the Grinding Wall event, that the visual appearance of the siege camps would update throughout Phase 1 and 2, as we got closer to breaching the wall. The Sunport camp has that Ayleid arch structure for the Meridian lens, but the visuals look completely random each time I visit, rather than showing a steady, linear progression.
Sometimes there are ornate stained glass portions inside the top of the archway. Sometimes the arches themselves are inscribed with glowing glyphs/runes. Sometimes there are reflectors in place on two stands near the arch. Sometimes none of that is there. Sometimes some are there, but not others. It's like it keeps getting built up and broken down, randomly. If they had one of those logic tests where you were presented with a series of images and had to put them in chronological order, I would fail miserably, because what I'm seeing in-game is nowhere near my assumptions.
I'm curious if this is the intended behavior for some reason, or if ZOS has acknowledged it being bugged somewhere, and I just missed it.
Just some examples. This was on Oct 14th. A large stained glass medallion is in place with nothing around it.
On the 15th, there is more ornate stained glass, but a noticeable gap where the medallion had been. The archway is now glowing.
On the 16th, all of that was gone.
And all of the various aspects of this structure seem to come and go at random. It's almost as if they coded it to change with the completion percentage, but have it looking at the ones digit instead of the tens digit, so it keeps reverting.

Re: writhing wall phase 2 -- am i missing something?
The reality just hit me... the daily quests are going to go on for weeks, throughout the entire event. 
I will do the world boss and other new things just to see them, but that's it. I am not doing any more of these grindy tedious quests.

Re: What new zone do you think we will get next year.
I didn't vote. I'm with @tomofhyrule . There's no zone coming next year. It's like people haven't been listening. They want to reuse old zones. They said this. They couched it in PR speak but I don't think we're getting any zone. Maybe some quest locations in old zones. My raid team is on holiday hiatus, with the plan to come together a couple months before the next trial. I'm a little sad as who knows if we're gonna get a next trial.
This year was the last year of old style content. They already said this is a transition year. 2026 will be short, maybe 3 months seasons. First up, 3 months of dark brotherhood. New Sanctuary in an old zone. Quest line that takes us around old zones. Reused assets. Reskinned crown crates stuff. They said they made this change so they could release more content, dynamically and weren't hemmed in by the old model, but the reality is something I've been saying, which I think is funny but sad.
Zos is out of quarters. When the ride stops, ESO as we knew it will be gone. Yearly big chapters with zones and side quests and new systems etc. Q4 story DLC has been gone. Look at this years mess. We think it gets better from here?

Re: Expired Event Tickets
We do have a plan for tickets. But you'll likely see this in a future PTS cycle. We just wanted to make sure that the changes during this last PTS cycle made sense.
Re: Given the issues this year, will you pre-order in 2026?
I will buy regardless, just to support the devs. A game this size they need at last a year, more likely even 12-18 months for a course correction after team size reductions and leadership change. All that we are seeing content-wise now and most of us don't seem to like a lot has been in the works for a long time, there just wasn't time to change course and given the situation at ZOS they couldn't just trash it and start from scratch.

Re: Longest hotfix maintenance ever
HOW is it LONGER than patch maintenance? MAN. As soon as I find out what my repair costs, if it's not about a NEW CAR - it's all the GW2 expansions. This SUCKS.

Wow! And they wonder why players are disillusioned 
Re: Given the issues this year, will you pre-order in 2026?
I have pre ordered every chapter. Even on a multi year break, I still pre ordered. After being blown away with wrothgar, Morrowind, clockwork city, Summerset etc. I never felt that I wouldn't get more than my monies worth. I've been back 7 months now after a break of a few years. I of course pre ordered the Solstice chapter even after some misgivings. To be completely honest I'm extremely disappointed. Those great dlcs I mentioned above? Whoever made solstice should be ashamed to follow those with this. Reskinned. Lore out of whack. Event giving spoilers. Very few side quests. The worst chapter event in the games history. The trial, while fun, was mostly old bosses thrown together. Just very poor.
Where we're going is even worse. People are wanting to see what we're getting next year. I understand. They already told us though. They want to revisit old zones with new stories. This was a transition year. I don't think there will be new zones at all. We will get maybe 3 months long seasons. The next is dark brotherhood. There will be a new threat. We will gather in gold coast. We will track the threat to old zones and old delves where new storylines will be. That's it. Probably tasks along the way will give us rewards. Like say fallout 76 but with a little more questing.
I would love to be proven wrong. I want the letter this year to blow me away but I'm sick to death of hearing "oh my God we CANNOT WAIT to show you what we've got cooking over here!!!!!!!!!" Just keep waiting. Don't worry, we're gonna show you soon. Soon. We can't tell you Tee hee hee. But trust us. Just keep playing. Keep paying. You don't want us to end up like NW right?
I love the game. So much so that I'll be here probably till the servers shut down. But maybe that's the problem. They know enough if us won't vote with our wallet.

Re: Should access to East Solstice be granted immediately?
But I still resent not getting any rewards for finishing each stage like we usually do with a community event. Our reward is something we have already paid for and we have to go through all three stages to get it, they make us suffer through all these buggy repeating quests, with nothing to really make us enthusiastic to even get to the next stage.
I thought I was unhappy before, but now I remember that we in fact did get awesome stuff in other community events... Thanks...
If you're ruining my day, I'm ruining everyone's day. The previous event rewards were:
The Gold Road Event:
33%— Vineyard Voriplasm pet
66% — Aether-Traveled Varla Stone memento
100%— Russet Brekka mount, Tree-Sap Legion arms pack, and six Nested Reward Boxes containing various in-game treasures
The Necrom Event:
33% Ebony Dwarven Scarab pet
66% Nightmare Nest Body Art and Nightmare Nest Face Art
100% Kelesan'ruhn House
The High Isle Event:
33% Oak’s Promise Markings
66% Plant Yourself Emote
100% Firesong DLC, Hoard Box & Pet
The Blackwood Event:
The Pellucid Swamp Jelly pet, unlocked at 33%
The Shadows of Blackwood markings, unlocked at 66%
The Deadlands DLC and a cascading bounty box, unlocked at 100%
The Greymoor Event:
Tier 1: Horror Within Face and Body Markings
Tier 2: Orchidfall Vale Fawn Pet
Tier 3: Antiquarian’s Alpine Gallery home AND Antiquarian Phedre Houseguest (This is the first Houseguest ever introduced to ESO!)
Guess I'm just gonna cry in a corner somewhere. And then grind to unlock content I paid for.
