Considering you wrote this while being in an emotional state because it was written only 10 minutes after the fact, it probably would have been better to calm down first and then start a constructive discussion about abusive language in the chat and what we, as a community, can do about it (i.e. discuss the options). I believe that would have been much more fruitful for you and the community. The point I am trying to make is: we first need to find out if such abusive language is of frequent occurrence, before jumping to conclusions based on personal experience or incidents.
I feel that this is patronizing and once again the "hysterical, emotional woman" stereotype lives on. I too am a woman, and no amount of time makes me any less angry when I learn that this crap still exists.

People should not put up with discrimination, though. Things like racism, sexism etc lead to much more than just "hurt feelings". Of course, harassment in games is only a small part of a big problem, but it doesn't mean that it's not a problem at all.
[snip]
I have delt with people making fun of me for physical imperfections for over 30 years. I learned a long time ago that the best way to deal with it, was to ignore their commentary...because what they were saying was not true, it was just being said to be hurtful. I stop letting it hurt me and life is better.
The biggest change any person can do to the world, is change themselves.
So in other words, we should blame the victims of harassment for "allowing it to hurt them" instead of harassers? That's not very constructive. Sure, it's not possible to get rid of all evil, but it doesn't mean that we should give up trying and just accept it. Mental health is a real thing, and trying to harm people psychologically is no better than trying to hit them.
Shifting focus from perpetrators to victims only empowers said perpetrators and creates a very unwelcoming atmosphere. Games are supposed to be fun for everyone participating, they're not here to test your mental strength or something. Harassment is already against ESO rules, the problem is that these rules aren't enforced as often as they should be.
Though there is a difference between harassing directly one spesific person (victim) and something said to no-one in video game chat.
I do not agree with this. In fact, it's almost worse that people have these blanket thoughts about all women. Just to know that there are people out there who believe that I'm inferior because I don't possess a Y chromosome is offensive, infuriating, and also saddening.

@ wishlist14 please ignore all of these trolls telling you “that’s how the game is”. The point is it needs to stop. You are doing the right thing by reporting them and bringing it up on the forums, and honestly you are so brave for doing it ❤️
Re: Please give us back Rapid Maneuver!
It won't matter how polished the PVP experience gets, how fun or rewarding it is, there will simply be those who prefer not to participate in it. There are a myriad of valid reasons why. The whole history of The Elder Scrolls series of games is to play the way you want. Some people RP or spend their time fishing or farming. Some like to create characters or stick with PvE. Some play largely solo with the master audio turned off and iTunes playing something in the background instead.
It is also indisputable that Rapid Maneuver was a QOL skill that a lot of players used outside of PVP. Something as simple as a skill that enabled people to get around faster on a mount may not seem like a big deal to everyone, but it is a basic skill we took for granted. I admit I took it for granted, especially after using it for 6 years.
By touching it and putting it behind a wall of PVP activity, which not every player desires to do, an artificial inconvenience was created. The only way around this for me is to either engage in a stressful and anxiety inducing activity, or spend 3000 crowns for the Alliance skill line unlock. Furthermore, the consumables coming with Markarth can also be purchased on the crown store, and these serve to shorten the amount of time it takes to level the Alliance skill line. If you don't want us to conclude that the motivation was to just sell Rapid Maneuver back to us on the crown store, then you need to provide a counterpoint. Some kind of compromise, as discussed before, would be the best way. None of that involves changing Vigor. No one is asking for this to be "reverted", but it is categorically unfair to require PVP for a skill that for six years was used very often outside of PVP.

OK I'll repeat, I DON'T CARE about the item, it's not about that I lost the item, it's about getting ABSOLUTELY NOTHING from decon a golden jewel. That's it.
However, it looks like you guys like the system, or you just agree with everything zos makes, so it'll probably stay like this forever... And btw same with many other "features".
I prefer to observe what the rules of the system are, then work around the system to my advantage to increase profit. Ignoring the system and get mad when it blows up in your face is not really the best way to approach things.
Re: Dark Passions Regalia Flap
Whoever is placing the large flaps on everything... Please stop.
Re: Dark Passions Regalia Flap

The Dark Passions Regalia and Undyeable Parts.
I believed I could fix this fashion disaster of an outfit with a good dye scheme, but to my dismay the gold metal is undyeable.
My best attempt so far.
On the Vampire Noble outfit you let us dye the metal claws ZOS but why not here with this outfit? It really messed up all the ideas I had and makes certaint dye schemes just not work since you have this bright gold all over it!

Re: The Dark Passions Regalia and Undyeable Parts.
I actually like the outfit but this flap in front is a disaster, it doesn't fit at all
and I'm generally tired of this flaps just EVERYWHERE
I agree. I like the general design, but why is there a front flap on something with "Passion" in the title?
"There is no better bait for a trap than temptation and no better lure than seduction. This suggestive ensemble will enhance your allure and disarm your prey until it is far, far too late."
I'm not sure about others, but I have a hard time associating a crotch flap with seduction...
