No names were shown. Do you see any naming or shaming?
The insulting word is visible on the screenshot. From what I know, in the USA, even writing out unaccepted words to factually discuss them is frowned upon. They get replaced by "r-word", "a-word", "l-word", "z-word" (making those up right now as I have no clue) or whatever instead, and people seem to know what it means. Which, honestly, is super confusing for people in other cultures where words aren't taboos themselves and the context is the thing that matters (also, the notion you must describe a thing as clearly as possibly to discuss it), but it's how it is - different cultures, different habits.
Only some of us, most of us do not care a lick. Vocal minority, very vocal make a fuss. Rest of us carry on like adults.

Why remove a functioning part of the game: BGs
Why would zos remove a part of the game just to replace it with another? It seems like a forceful attempt at getting players to try something zos cooked up without any known player feedback.
You sequestered yourselves away and spent God knows how much time and money planning, developing, and implementing these two sided battlegrounds that no one wanted or asked for. Then you drop them on us without giving us the option to keep playing the game we love.
I understand the battleground population may not be that high and dispersing that population across different queues might result in less bgs for those that play it, but it would definitely prove out which were preferred. Then zos can realize efficiencies by not supporting static servers of unused game modes or save the compute of spinning up ephemeral servers for bgs that no one will fill.
When you implemented IC you didn't remove cyrodiil.
When you add new arenas you don't remove old ones.
When you add new zones you don't remove old ones
When you add new dungeons you dont remove old ones.
When you add new sets you don't remove old ones
You are telling us to play a format that we didn't want.
Why not engage your paying customers before you invest in something to inform your roadmap?
Be Agile... in both a development perspective and in general.
This game is literally a theme park where users can take or leave any part of the game that they want. You have removed part of the game that people enjoy and there really isn't any discernable reason for this. Please reconsider.

Re: Relequen
LA hits will indeed proc another tick so if you weave you get double ticks. Has always been like that. They fixed the cd timer and nerfed the damage by 2% in U47 so I will assume it is a feature at this point.

Re: Ticket ID: 260422-000982
True. Although it appears the ticket was initially created today, so the OP did not allow time for customer service to process the ticket. Almost like the OP knows this would stir the pot by creating another thread about "the rules apply equally to all players."
Also, agree with the other post you made about adults.

There's a difference between a narrative having dark themes vs players insulting other people. Or does racism in guilds become okay because the altmer do it too?
Well, racism has no place but if two adults playing a game call each other names I'd hope they can just put each other on ignore than need customer service to intervene. It's very petty and it feels like a waste of time when the game gives you options to remove yourself from hearing unpleasant people.
So derogatory and hateful remarks DO have a place in this game?
There is also such a thing as having the capacity to not get personally offended or insulted by a thing, yet still recognize the inappropriateness of a behavior and try to have it amended through official channels that are in place exactly for that purpose.
I didn't say that. I just know gamers insult each other, it is what it is. I've been insulted many times in BGs but I just put the ranting people on ignore - I also am not so sensitive that I care if they press the crouch button over me when I chose to be very tanky and annoying.
I think some full adults are too sensitive and since we have an ignore function we can just use that?
I'm also an older person who was taught to try to resolve my differences with others on my own and only go to higher authorities as a last resort. Here I see situations where some people try to bait people into getting their accounts hit with actions and know exactly how the play the system in that way too.
Vengeance double AP.
I tried out Vengeance last night. Double AP seems to be not working.

Why they didn’t just take the risk week 1 and if some crazy synergy were to happen, then they would have weeks to then fine tune it?
“Monsters Only” and “While Battle Spirit is Active” are both end-all options and should only be used in the most serious of context, not casually thrown around on passives for classes known to be struggling.
To continue on this, separating abilities and gear between PvP and PvE, rather than adjusting stats to make builds viable in both, just adds to the confusion new players have with why they are getting blown up in PvP, or unable to get into a group in PvE.
It’s incredibly unhealthy for the game, and I said it back when Maw of Lorkhaj brought Aegis and Slayer and instead of hearing me, we got Halls of Fabrication— a trial with zero incentive for PvP players to enter… and again when Bahsei came out with Monster’s Only, such restrictions truly have no place in ESO.
What is your solution to make gameplay equally viable between both PvE and PvP? You're saying battlespirit shouldn't exist? I don't think trying to pretend two very different forms of gameplay operate the same is healthy to the game at all.
Yea it has been an unfortunate experiment, trying to blend the two styles of fighting, with noone winning.
They just need to be separate.
A shield with a heal? Great in pve, so useful.
In pvp? Disaster.
There are many ways to prevent "A shield with a heal" from becoming a disaster in PvP, such as strengthening or providing more healing-absorbing skills like Borrowed Time, or skills like Trample + Dispel that can remove shields.
None of the above proposals will affect PvE, but they can effectively curb over-healing in PvP. Moreover, these skills have been around for a long time; not using them would be a waste.
I believe balancing PvP and PvE simultaneously is not impossible, but the developers need to be extremely proficient in the game's mechanics and put in a tremendous amount of effort.

Re: Sheogorath as a one-dimensional character
That doesn't answer the question though if that's supposed to be "full Sheo" appearing on Nirn, or an aspect of him that has manifested - basically like he sent part of his power to appear as some kind of embodiment on Nirn. An avatar basically. I think there was dialogue that called Skooma cat an aspect of Sheogorath, but I don't have time to search for that quote now, unfortunately.
I don’t have any solid lore evidence (like “it said in x lorebook”) but I’m of the opinion that all the Princes we see are just manifestations. My belief is that the true form of a god is a sphere, thus the Princes are really their realms, though their manifestations still hold power (it’d be interesting to see how that holds up with Jyggalag if we ever see him again, since he is realmless (although follow-up to that, if he’s realmless because his realm is now the Shivering Isles… where did his Daedra come from when they invaded the Shivering Isles?)). Reason being is that, well, Masser and Secunda are spheres and that’s the corpse of Lorkhan. The “sun” is a circle, so Magnus leaving must’ve been him, as a sphere, floating away. Mannimarco’s ascension made the Necromancer Moon.
So… Sheogorath is the Shivering Isles and Skooma Cat is the form he chooses for when he sends part of himself to Elsweyr.
