Dear ZOS: Jerrall Mountains (possible DB spoilers)

I loved the mini quest to Jerrall Mountains. It may well be my absolute favorite zone in the whole game. And it gave me an idea, based on this little instanced piece of heaven.
After you give us a few houses in each zone? And when you are wondering what you're going to do next for cash? Think about instanced 'manors' in beautiful backdrops like this one!
I can imagine a Manor house on the side of a lake. Hire some NPC's, add a few mini-games for managing a beehive or some other such business. A place where I can chop up trees, mine some rocks, and otherwise feel like my hunter/noble character has a nice place his own.
I might add that NPC's will be the key to making this place feel like it's *alive*. Maybe a wife, maybe a bodyguard, possibly a servant (or slave, as that is allowed in some societies in this world, and should not be avoided). Hirelings.
Let us decorate and design. Take a caravan (or wayshrine) to our little instance. Invite others to our home, or give them permanent access (for multiple characters on the same account or players like me with family playing).
I'm seeing in my head Black-Briar Lodge on a small mountain pond, moutains all around.
Want to know how much I would pay for that? Easily 10,000 crowns. Easily. Especially if you then let me buy 'customizations' like we've had the option to do in many of the other ESO games (try my 'Talos Plaza Home' mod for Oblivion if you want!). Dark Brotherhood sanctuary. Vampire lair. Thieves treasure trove. Fighters armory. Mages tower. Trophy rooms. Werewolf den. Plenty of secret passages, hidden doors, traps, and more than a few 'unmarked' pathways to make us feel special.
Put some care into these, then make more. Appeal to your very broad and loving playerbase. One in the deserts of hammerfell at an oasis. One in the grasslands of Elswhyr. The swamps of blackmarsh. Etc, etc, and oh god, could you do so much!
So much potential in that one micro-zone. Ahh ...

Ruze Aulus. Mayor of Dhalmora. Archer, hunter, assassin. Nightblade.
Gral. Mountain Terror. Barbarian, marauder, murderer. Nightblade.
Na'Djin. Knight-Blade. Knight, vanguard, defender. Nightblade.
XBOX NA
This is an multiplayer game. I should be able to log in, join a dungeon, join a battleground, queue for a dolmen or world boss or delve, teleport in, play for 20 minutes, and not worry about getting kicked, failing to join, having perfect voice coms, or being unable to complete content because someone's lagging behind. Group Finder and matchmaking is broken. Take a note from Destiny and build a system that allows from drop-in/drop-out functionality and quick play.

Ruze is a veteran of the PC Beta, lived through the year one drought, survived the buy-to-play conversion, and has stepped foot in the hells known as Craglorn. He mained a nightlbade when nightblades weren't good, and has never worn a robe. He converted from PC during the console betas, and hasn't regretted it a moment since.
He'd rank ESO:TU (in it's current state) a 4.8 out of 5, loving the game almost entirely.
