Things from other mmos that you wish eso had but wouldnt be popular in eso's atmosphere

Reputation systems- lets be honest, casuals do not like grinding at all. Even if they were to have only cosmetic items that were grindable they would rather use their credit card to earn any cosmetic rewards and thus ruining it for players that would like earning mounts ingame through reputation systems and from achievements without taking out their credit card.

An achievement system that rewards players based on score and generally achievements- again, many casual players do not like investing time ingame to actually earn ingame rewards and eso's environment encourages players to take out their credit card and instantly buy mounts and thus ruining any chance for many of the dedicated players that have taken the time to enjoy all eso has to offer (pve,pvp, questing) and earn mounts that prove their dedication to show that that they have experienced what the eso developers have spent a hard time to develop.

While I support mounts being bought from the store to support zos revenue, earnable mounts ingame are a must

Tldr: earnable ingame pets and mounts via reputation systems and achievements. seeing as 98 percent of the mounts and pets earnable ingame are purchasable, we need some more earnable ingame... especially mounts. We cannot even buy a mount with gold that isn't the same generic horses since launch

Would be nice to have more stuff like this, but unfortunately more companies these days are worried about $$$ instead of providing quality, rewarding experiences.

spaceships.

lolo_01b16_ESO

Overworld zones where enemies are actually dangerous for experienced players.

Crazy lore-unfriendly flying mounts

Motherball

Players who enjoy the game for what it is instead of trying to make it into a bunch of things it isn’t.

A few examples:

• More intra-class synergy where abilities interacted in smart ways to build power or effectiveness. Technically it could work but I don't see it happening. They could move toward this by having morphs for passives or unlocking more class lines skills or both. But think the build-up rotation of Monk in FFXIV or the current Insanity/Void Form system for Shadow Priest in WoW. ESO in its current form couldn't work that in but again a minor version of it could fit, like hit ability X and gain a buff to ability Y or change how ability works in some way because of passive Z. Could it for other skill lines, too, like the Vampire, Werewolf, and Weapon skill lines. But for classes, it would give players more choices and allow under-used or highly situational abilities to have more value.
  
• Real guild houses and guild functionality. This also could technically work but I don't see it fitting in with the direction of the game. People working together to earn guild achievements and bonuses and similar things, if handled properly, could make guilds more interactive and interesting. Even guild calendars and a system listing character profiles (letting people describe their character) would be nice. Right now guilds are just a barely buffed up friends list.
  
• Flying mounts. Would be sooooo fun, but lore. Never ever gonna happen.

People said that about mounts other than horses, housing, and other things that are now in the game. Games evolve. Developers use player feedback in their deliberations. People having fun on the forums talking about possibilities doesn't need to be chided.

I think more earnable mounts should be put into the game.
Maybe make mounts that are not available in the crown store. Ones you have to earn with gold or through questing.

I wouldn’t even care if they were in the store. In this day of quick rewards it makes sense. You can either spend a month grinding out the cool new mount. Or you can fork over 20 bucks for the new mount.

But that messes up the whole fake limited edition idea and cuts into profits since some people won’t pay for the mount.

Who spent $20 for a new mount? WHO DO I HAVE TO MUG?

You can sort of do it in Cyrodiil. Hide in a keep that flips. Then wait for the poor suckers to run inside and afk. It is really the only way I can usually kill anyone...

Eh, I think that depends on how the reputation is earned. Well, and how you're defining "casual" as well. I don't consider myself a hardcore player at all, but I've done reps in various MMOs. Not the ones attached to raiding or dungeons, but I did Wintersaber rep in WoW, and I've got characters with all maxed reps in Star Trek Online. /shrug

(Also, isn't it just the existance of cash shops in the first place which makes more costumes show up there, rather than earnable in-game? They'd rather sell you that new dress for $5 than let you have it for just playing their game.)

On the main topic, I can't think of many things in other MMOs that wouldn't fit ESO's "atmosphere" aside from bikini armor & Even Sillier Mounts. If by atmosphere, you include the attitudes of the playerbase, I'd say a global auction house. I'd love that, but the rich guild moguls are too entrenched in the game to allow a functional economy to exist. It might cut into their profits if everyone had reasonable access to buying & selling.

Silvrian

a cape or cloak

Runefang

• Earning mounts in-game
• Auction house (if only on console)
• Heirloom gear (seriously it'd make levelling actually enjoyable) - we need 4 of them: magicka dps, healer, stamina dps, tank set

vyndral13preub18_ESO

Sort of a generic answer... but more skills. While I’d like to have more then what the bar can hold now, Id be settle for just more options. New weapons, new morphs. Just more useable skills. Im so bored with what the classes have become.

Can we finally stop nerfing ourselves backwards and maybe start adding new things for the old players?

Morgul667

Some Free PVP zone and you lose half your gold when dieing in there

Capacity to steal other players for items they have in their inventory but not equipped.

That would require a bigger bank though so you would only lose the occasional loot that you didnt bank yet

Cadbury

A "blacklist" created and monitored by the community to publically name griefers/trolls/scammers/etc.
Auction house
Store-bought/unlockable combat pets

Gilvoth

open world PvP
which would be awesome and a warm welcome by me.

ArchMikem

Your OP is oozing with bias against "Casuals".

monktoasty

Ultima online housing..imagine walking the continent with every ones houses everywhere..and you can shop at their vendors.

Why it wouldn't be popular here: lag loading all those houses

CyborgPlatypus

Hand to hand combat. With a skill line and everything.

Zorvan

Auction House

Ilithyania

pet battles ... wait that would actally be kinda cool

And then spends another £20 to make it move faster than I can run!
