    You're waiting/doing something.
    I could be afk.
    I could be trying to figure out where I am/where I'm going.
    I could be chatting with someone.
    I could be Googling a question I have because I don't want to sound like a derp to everyone in zone chat.
    I could be addressing my family/dogs/cats/etc.

    There are lots and lots of reasons to stand in a city doing nothing. Sometimes I just like to watch all the crazy stuff my fellow players get up to. :p

    Normally because I am on the forums reading/posting.

    After reading that thread though I do keep wondering if I should mount my Storm-Atro mount and wear all my shiny crown costumes with a flash pet out just so I live up to the OP's expectations.

    I have left the fate of the O in ESO to my Lord Server.
    It is up to he as to when he becomes sick of my presence.
    There are days he doesn't want me around for very long at all.
    Get a life Lord Server and watch television more than you play, no matter where you are. The Bridge Tards Club down Alessia Lane has a 3 way big screen 3Dk's! The Dueling Badjo's in Grahtwood put on a good show and then get nakid.
    All the while posed drunkards, stinking of rich and famous, show of their glad rags anywhere they have the opportunity

    Not really sure where I'm going with this. don't think it matters

    Does rawlka count as a capital?

    Mainly because once you have BiS or have given up farming for BiS and realised how broken endgame is, there's not much left to do other than stand on the rock in rawlka

    Lol if players standing around the city sets you off, please don't go in to Cyrodiil.

    Oh that really annoys me, especially when the campaign is full. Wtf are you standing around for when there's a war going on?

    As for people standing around in cities...it's much better then those that just hang around traders spamming spells like an idiot. Do you really have nothing better to do?

    I don't. Get in and get out

    This..

    I was wondering the same. Why are there so many just hanging about (or dueling) in every capital city? I'm only at a capital city, like Mournhold, to pick up and drop off the Undaunted and other dailies. Otherwise, I stay away. Too laggy.

    You're waiting/doing something.
    Several reasons to hang around in cities:

    Lollygaging
    Go thru inventory
    Pick where to go next
    Chating
    People watching
    One of the only safe places u can stop and get rl stuff done
    Swooping is bad no matter what realm your in.

    I'm probably taking a potty break, getting a drink, eating food or some other mundane real life activity that won't take a long time so I might as well leave the game up while I'm away to save me the trouble of logging back in.

    Also, when I am looking up something on my other monitor, it looks like I'm just standing there like a goof but I may actually be looking at builds. dungeon vids, where certain crafting stations are etc.

    And for the record, I find these threads immensely amusing because why anyone would care or wonder why I'm doing or not doing anything in game that doesn't directly involve them is silly. :smiley:

    People don't grasp that the queue is not an actual line. You can go do other stuff and it will pull you when it's ready, most likely at the most inopportune moment of your other-stuff'ness.

    When I got the mount I was standing on it to show ppl how it actually looks like, when atronachs were released I really wanted to see mounts and hear theirs sounds they do.
    You can't be jelous if you don't want something and if you want you should try to get it. I don't see the problem here.

    Pretty much this, people are mostly in chat or afk or pretty afk as in in other window or on tablet while waiting.
    Spawn point for wayshrines is another popular one.

    One fun tips for any khajiit or Argonian going afk for some time is to stand on wayscrine so your tail intercept the head on the ones spawning.
    This looks very weird then you port in.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.
