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.
Yeah the constant running to tattle is old hat.

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.

If only we in America could find our way back to this.
Re: Update 50 and Accessibility
I just wish 90% of the sets in this game weren't garbage. Regardless of the source.
Yeah. There's a lot of old sets that need to be updated to modern standards. And frankly they could probably outright delete some of these sets as well. We have so many sets and so many are bad.
Re: The Silence On Antiquity Leads Is Defeaning!
It's weird but kinda funny. All these big touted quality of life changes this year. The big banner thing for this year. So many of the changes are like monkey's paw versions of what we asked for. You better lead RNG? Have leads that last a year before expiring, good luck finding them. Treasure maps are clogging up our inventory. Can they maybe stack like surveys do? Here, have your maps stack peasant, but if you wanna see what map they are, you are back in the same boat. Cool changes sure. But I'd like to know how they got to these conclusions from what the community asked for. Like a game of telephone.
Furnishings leads should not be so hard to get, period. If you wanna punish yourself, feel free to wander the zones you think need to be populated, be the change you want to see.
Treasure chest leads should just not be a thing. I shouldn't have to randomly get a map, open it and randomly get the zone I want and then have a low random chance to get the lead. That's random-ception dude. It might be a war crime.

Re: Gambling boxes and why I don't buy them anymore.
the free version of the current Tamriel Tome has 8000 Seals, enough for 1 Apex tier mount
They all say 16000 Seals I thought.

Re: The Silence On Antiquity Leads Is Defeaning!
I’m something like a Antiquities Hunter, and this system is pretty much the main thing I enjoy about the game. I started playing ESO in mid-2024 and took one long break (about 8 months) during which I didn’t play at all. Right now, my codex its 3/3 for all things, and I have good idea how hard it was to do that.
In this system, Lead drops are highly random; some things can be done "easily" at 3/3, while for others the grind is insanely long, even if the given Lead drops from harder content.
For example, Lead for furnishing that drops from dragons in North Elsweyr. I had to kill around a hundred dragons for the second codex entry, and I needed about the same number for the third (I don’t remember the exact numbers—it’s been a while—but I know it was a real pain grind). Dragons aren’t that easy to farm; they have a ton of HP, and not many people go there anymore, so you’re often on your own, etc.
Leads for Apocryphal Well—I opened more than 500 Treasure Maps and still didn’t get 3/3 codex. It wasn’t until Pan Tamriel event (which gave better chances of dropping Leads from Treasure Maps) that I managed to get 3/3. Without it, who knows if I would’ve ever put together a 3/3. It’s pure pain when you consider that you’re practically at the mercy of the market because you can’t really farm the exact Treasure Maps you need (not counting IA). In my opinion, Apocryphal Well Leads is one of the worst things in the whole Antiquities.
Generally speaking, the leads from Treasure Maps need to be reworked somehow because they’re really not good right now.
But aside from a few exceptions, I really like this, and it’s something I really enjoy in ESO. I also have to say that in the last Solstice zone, gring wasn’t that difficult, and I think Leads drop better (I don’t know if it’s just me or if the devs manage better Leads drop rate), and gring for the Solstice Antiquities 3/3 codex wasn’t too much of a pain, not counting the ones from Treasure Maps. I spent around 15 million gold on Leads from Treasure Map for Solstice (I was buying maps for around 20-30k each).
So I hope the devs have Antiquities in mind and that we’ll see some nice changes in the future (especially when it comes to Treasure Maps).

Re: April 20th Vengeance Only..
PS. If it was my call - I'd remove Grey Host completely and make access to Vengeance for ESO+ only. And rework the pvp sets as vanity items with improved looks.
Then we are lucky it isn't your call, because a lot of players (and that includes players with ESO+) would leave the game entirely if they did that.
