One of the reasons I can't take World of Warcraft seriously anymore is because of the sheer insanity of their flying dragons, sparkly mounts, and the cutesy pets following everyone around and making stupid noise all day.
ESO isn't nearly as bad of course (WoW is exponentially worse), but now that ESO is B2P they seem to be putting more emphasis on the Crown Store. Fine, I say, they need to make their money. Most of that fluff isn't for me, but I understand that players want this stuff.
However I can only see this getting worse and worse over time. Wouldn't it be practical to add either a global or individual toggle for this kind of stuff? A few options would be possible:
1 - global toggle for all pets (i.e., no player pets would be visible on my screen). This could improve performance for some people who struggle on the client side.
2 - global toggle for all mounts - I.e., all players would be visible on horses only. This would make the game more lore-friendly for immersion enthusiasts, since (to my knowledge) horses were the only available mounts in all other ES games.
3 - individual toggle for each mount, pet, etc in the collection screen - If, overall, I have no performance issues and I don't really mind seeing different mounts and pets in the game, but there are certain crazy, ridiculous or lore-unfriendly pets or mounts that just really irk me, I could go into my collection screen, click on that pet or mount, and select from a drop-down menu an option that says "never show this pet/mount" so that my screen isn't filled with sparkles every time I go to a populated player hub.
I think this could be a win-win. It wouldn't affect other players' enjoyment of their sparkles, and it could also vastly improve performance for players with older computers when going to heavily-populated areas.

You lost me at the "anymore"
It should have never been taken seriously in the first place.
But seriously, options are good. Some of these, I guess it just depends on how pets are coded into the game. Toggles for such may not be so easy.

✭But these cosmetics you mentioned are so eye-friendly you bare notice them there.“Kings of the land and the sky we are; proud gryphons.” Stalker stands, the epitome of pride. Naked and muscular, his wings widen and his feet dig in as if he alone holds down the earth and supports the heavens, keeping the two ever separate.”

✭✭✭✭✭This is interesting consideration or so I would think. Though I like fluffy... we all know the sudden bouts of performance issues we may have especially in trials. I support the pet toggle option though it's nice to see what everyone has in the waiting room. The mount option... going to have to disagree even though it's not lore friendly.... I am just going to pretend it's lost history. If I don't how am ever going to get my underwater city or sky city or flying mounts and aerial battles. So I going to play ignorant in hopes of better things.0
