I never keep anyone on my ignore list for more than a few hours to a day. The reason being that I have yet to run into the random player that irritated me enough to ignore them ever again.

I would say it’s the other way around.

Even when the meta was decent, BGs still suffered due to poorly structured queues, incoherent formats, nonsensical scoring, bizarre matchmaking, bugs and exploits, etc.

The BG system is the wheels, metagame balance is the steering column. Right now we've got 4 flat tires, 2 bent control arms, and the power steering went out.

Free tome is gateway,
Paid tomes will get prized loot drop,
More cash per player. 🤑

All new content is free so if you're paying for content the game is a lot cheaper now.

It used to be 49.99 for the deluxe upgrade (we're going with the price for bonus cosmetics since we're talking about wanting to get all the yearly cosmetics here too). And then 139.99 for 1 year of ESO+.

Total cost for all content plus a handful of collectibles was about 190 per year.

Now that cost is 0 dollars for a handful of collectibles and new content. And ESO+ is still 139.99 for 1 year.

Total cost for all content plus a handful of collectibles is now 139.99 for 1 year. Assuming you are using ESO+ to access the content and don't already own it outright.

If you'd like additional cosmetic collectibles, you can pay around an additional 90 dollars (assuming 3 passes this year at 29.99 for the premium+ tier).

Total cost for all content plus a handful of free collectibles plus a sizable amount of additional paid collectibles is around 230 bucks.

If cosmetics is your primary concern then you're paying a lot more money and getting more cosmetics than you did in the past.

If content is your primary concern and you are satisfied with the amount of cosmetics you got in the past, then the game just got a lot cheaper because new content is free.

Why can't the "System Alerts" be used in-game to telegraph important changes to players, like daily login rewards going away and the elimination of Daily/Weekly Endeavors? This would be a much better use of the system than the Companion messages during Hearts Week.

So few players know about the changes, and in-game messaging would go a long way to correcting that.

I think if players are even remotely interested in what’s going on, they would open the forums every couple of days and browse the official notices. It takes literally one or two minutes. (In this instance there have been various twitch streams too over the months, and links & summations of such posted on the official forums, reddit and elsewhere).

For a long time, this has been the preferred way for developers to communicate with the player base. I think the vast majority of players know that, I guess those that don't browse simply aren't worried enough to check, and as a result can reasonably expect that sometimes changes will take them by surprise when they log in.

And honestly, it’s only Daily Login Rewards and Endeavours that are going away (or being replaced). Arguably, it’s not a particularly major change and doesn’t really impact our playtime all that much.

The fora are toxic so people avoid them.
Many folks do not like using Twitch for social/political reasons.
A simple announcement would have reduced confusion for those that just want to play the game. This day, a few players were asking about the rewards not working. Posting a notice in the rewards box or replacing the group play announce would have helped them.
Suggesting that someone doesn't care about the game because they do not hang out on a social-base site sounds mean to me.

I’d encourage you to re-read my post and take another look at what I was - and wasn’t - trying to say, as I think a few incorrect assumptions may have crept in.

I think it’s more productive for us to focus on our own choices rather than pointing fingers at the developers and accusing them of poor communication, especially when some players simply aren’t that concerned with receiving the information in the first place. And there's nothing wrong with that, to suggest otherwise is provocative.

The official information delivered in this forum post by development, also was - and still is - there on all our launchers, visible to everyone each time they start playing the game.

There is a proverb that comes to mind about a certain horse and water. You can provide someone with opportunity, aid, or information, but you cannot force them to take advantage of it.

Okay, so I finally decided to bite the bullet and read about the changes. Holy hell, I thought they were a bit less confusing. Why end event tickets and create yet another currency when the same could be achieved by removing the ticket cap? Why put the game in such a constant state of change that's certain to require a lot of resources from the devs? The old system was predictable in terms of price and content and it just worked. In fact, the problem wasn't the system itself, but rather reduced levels of quality as the years went by. Can we get stories with the quality seen in Orsinium or Clockwork City with this new chaotic system? Seasons of the Worm Cult wasn't exactly memorable for the right reasons.

This is how I already feel about this new system and I haven't even gotten to the price tag yet. And after that, I guess I should look up what the hell a battlepass is...

I would like to see an werewolf companion or at least an Hircine follower companion.

An Altmer that acts and speaks like one. /s

But really a Bosmer warden, as LunaFlora suggested.

A useful companion, that does damage?
