I don't understand why there isn't a reply button on the mail, it would be so useful. Please can it be added?

    For a while I had the option. Sometimes I'd have to click off the message and then back onto it again for the "Reply" option to appear.

    Now it's gone entirely and I can't get it to return.

    The option was never present if someone mailed an item to me.

    This is a *basic* feature that needs to be made available to all. All of the time.

    Did you have an old version of the MailR addon? That allows replying to and forwarding of mail.

    The developers of MailR discovered that the entire mail backend got rewritten with One Tamriel - even though from a user's perspective, nothing has changed - so it's very possible that ZOS are planning to add new features to the mail system Soon (TM).

    ESO is modern, but it's not an EMAIL system, it's an online game.

    If ZOS listened to all requests, they'd have to make :
    - The crown store like Amazon
    - Character creation and dye system like Photoshop
    - EMail system like Thunderbird
    - Guild stores like Access
    - Housing system like AutoCAD
    - Chat system like Skype
    - etc etc

    This all wouldn't be bad tho. I think some listings have much better examples in place of those you selected but....it's not bad.

    Sure, I was just making a point, not saying that all the above software are the "best" in each category. And I'm not denying either that some additional basic features are sorely needed in ESO. But I can understand why ZOS cannot do *everything* in every aspect.

    I always send Xbox messages instead of in game ones unless attachments are required, solely because the mail system in eso is very unfriendly.

    A reply option is a very basic feature.

    A reply button is not necessarily modern, it is a requirement of the most basic, primitive communications methods.

    Back in the days of hand written inter office memorandums, we had a standard memo form to use which had a reply section on it if we were expecting, or required, a response. Yes, I am old and started work before the internet existed, but a reply option was standard even then.

    I can see why Reply would not be allowed, as it would turn the email system into a Chat System, and they already have a chat system. It could very well slow the whole mail system down, more than it is now. Also, people would howl at the moon as they had to rezone to have a "conversation" with someone.

    However, a One Time Reply would be so helpful and would not load down the system with chatty emails flying all over the place.

    The only reason everything is so complicated in ESO and the user experience is utter terrible and aged is because ZOS staff are old. They should have hired some millennials to really understand their target audience and what they need.

    It's almost 2017 ZOS! Get it together!

    I don't know the innards of the email system, wish I did. But, it makes sense if it is a reason.

    Actually, I brought up this question, and it was answered in one of the most recent ESO lives, which was quite a while back (like around when SoTH was released). They implied by their comment that they would be coming soon. Yea... nope. No mention of it ever since.


    I also asked about a filter system for guild traders on console. They just said, 'it's a good idea, we'll look into it.' (in other words, no ETA.)
