For anyone new to the forums and/or the game (I have seen a few announcements lately), let's go over which topics and complaints are dead horses beaten severely beyond recognition. Please search for these threads to avoid bringing up yet another gripe that is already being pummeled into the ground elsewhere on the forums:
  • ESO+ crafting bags are unfair
  • PvP lag sucks
  • I can't see my character's breasts in this costume
  • Justice System guards are OP
  • Viscious Death is OP
  • WGT is OP
  • Crafting is OP
  • Flower picking is OP
  • Nerf this skill/ability (cause it just killed me and I'm embarrassed and annoyed)
  • Don't nerf this skill/ability (cause I use it and it's OP and I like that)
  • I'm unsubbing until ZoS changes this ****
  • Gimme my g*****n Maelstrom weapon already!!
  • Miracle Whip is NOT mayonnaise

Any vet forumers want to add some topics I have left out?

P.S. A cookie for anyone who gets the literary pun in the title.

    You hear that, folks? From this point forward, only @FortheloveofKrist-approved topics are allowed.

    Or how about this: Instead of declaring any over-discussed topics off-limits, we could strive for a bit better balance. Don't create a thread about PVP lag when there are already 6 on the front page; don't go into a thread about crafting and start declaring that any attention ZOS pays to any subject other than PVP lag means they just don't care about PVP; don't insist that the graphics team and the CS team and the forum mods all should have 100% of their time diverted into fixing PVP lag;

    But on the other hand, also don't let the topic of PVP lag fade away so they forget it's important to us. You know, show a little balance.

    (Just choosing one example. I shouldn't have to say that, but experience with this forum has taught me it's better to be safe.)

    Oh @MasterSpatula, did you only read the first 7 words of a post again? You silly. I didn't say they were off limits. I said they should seek out one of the many threads that are already discussing these belabored topics.

    does it say avoid creating new threads. Your meaning can be inferred, but "avoid bringing up another gripe" could just as easily be read as "let this topic go."

    My read is valid. I get what you're saying now, but your wording was imprecise.

    Also, just to be extra pedantic, your first 7 words were "For anyone new to the forums and."

    They did WHAT!?

    This drives ME nuts, and I'm not even a native English speaker :(
    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.
