Furthermore, I don't see why anyone would think cross-play is some magic bullet that's going to solve the game's problems. If anything cross-play is likely to introduce more bugs and performance issues. In my opinion there are far more important things to work on such as Cyrodiil performance, finishing hybridization, and untangling years of neglected systems. With Subclassing and the consequences of that, I'm sure they have an overflowing plate of higher priorities to set straight. Heck, they should have finished hybridization and revamped Provisioning/alchemy like 5 years ago.
As Rich noted during Gamescom, crossplay is being worked on. There is a lot of work to go through because ESO was built way before crossplay was part of the industry. And there is 11yrs worth of content, systems and data to go through. The last thing we want is for systems to be heavily impacted by crossplay and have it an impact on your overall gameplay experience. So it's something we have to be extra careful about. Nothing else to report right now, but there is a team focused on crossplay.

To some people. Just like losing individual character progress to combine achievements seems like a small thing.
And to others, it’s a gamebreaking issue.
Shouldn’t things be done to impact the fewest people possible? It may take a bit of extra work, but knowingly causing a bunch of your players to leave is probably not the optimal solution.
I dont think if a few players need to change name would cause alot leaving the game.
The News about Crossplay would probably do the opposite and bring in alot of new excitement and returning/new players.
I understand some would hate to change name but I still see that as a tiny problem contra the good things.

Oh, you mean like how the news of “use any skills you want without class restrictions!” totally brought all those people back to the game and nobody is feeling like Subclassing was poorly implemented?
…Or did they think it would go like that, release it as is, and then have to post a whole “how did you feel about U46?” thread when that magic solution failed to get back to 2020 numbers?
Look: you don’t see it as an issue. You want crossplay more than having consistency in your virtual dolls’ names. You think other people are blowing things out of proportion. You see only positives from adding crossplay. And there are people who agree with you.
Is it so hard to fathom that there are people who don’t share your view? Would if really affect you if they actually took all of their players into consideration and set up crossplay in such a way as to not alienate some of their base?
I see he has an extraordinarily cruel owner.

Seriously, just stop the timer between rounds lol. I dont want to run the pack leader morph
Does that work? Never though to try it!
