Zos seems to be on a stance to eliminate ganking from the game with not restricting add-ons that affect an entire playstyle. zos has also nerfed gank capabilities overtime with most recently the alch set. I will also note that zos stance is huge on not separating pvp/pve and might make the racial useful for both pve/pvp

    No, they said they are working on a way to actually add stealth attacks to PvE earlier in the year on ESO Love.

    ..yes, I know. I have supreme confidence they will mess it up but the idea will be half baked and nerfed into ground before inception however since they have acknowledged on an ESO Live that they intend to beef up that skill in PvE applications, I cannot imagine them reworking that passive.

    Honestly I wouldn't mind seeing it changed to something that is useful outside of a few niche builds.

    On the other hand, as a solo pvp player, I find the reduced sneak detection to be really nice. In medium armour, people pretty much have to be right on top of me to actually see me, which makes getting away from bad situations, or avoiding them entirely a tad easier.

    I agree that ZOS seems to want to reduce/nerf ganking capabilities. They nerfed crit damage bonus from stealth to players, sets like stygian and now clever alchemist, shadow mundus,etc. I would also like to know ZOS general stance on nightblades and the bosmer/khajiit stealth passives.

    - Are they planning to rework those passives or stuff like Master Assassin to be more universal passives since they apparently don't like people ganking?
    - Does ZOS thinks that stealth and/or ganking is an integral part of how the nightblade plays?
    - What does ZOS thinks about the whole stealth system of the game for PvP and PvE?

    I get that probably some people expect the nightblade to be the ''rogue'' archetype of this game but imo pigeonholing the nightblade to a ganker is as stupid as trying to pigeonhole the sorcerer to a pet class, templar to a healbot, dk to a tank,etc.

    Ganking is alive and well. Low-skill ganking has become more difficult.

    This is fine. People can go seek the easy button in some other class.

    I had to look it up myself.

    I suspect the OP is referring to the Stealthy passive: http://elderscrollsonline.wiki.fextralife.com/bosmer+(wood+elf)+racial+skills

    Khajiit have the same passive: http://elderscrollsonline.wiki.fextralife.com/Khajiit+Racial+Skills

    Stealthy, at rank 3, increases damage from stealth by 10%.

    Its almost like ZOS wants to increase counterplay in PVP as we've seen with the changes to proc sets. Ganking is all about reducing counterplay through bursts of sheer overwhelming damage that the target has little or no time to react to. I'm not surprised that those two aims are opposed to each other at the moment.

    Ganking has already taken a significant hit the last patch with no bonus damage from stealth.

    Now with the proposed change to Clever Alchemist... truly effective ganking will never happen again. Stamblades only reason to exist is burst from stealth, they are steadily eroding that.

    So I don't think they'll nerf it even further.

    no need to nerf that, cuaze in Pvp there are addons which make it impossible to play a ganker
    and
    it would be sad if it got nerfed, cauze then my thief in PVE has no longer her positive plus anymore!

    Why does every selection in this poll require that one agree to the existence of a Bosmer Gank Racial skill (whatever the **** that is)?

    Is that the stealth detection radius reduction? Maybe you are new to Elder Scrolls.
