Yeah I made my own personal flag list of like around 6 forum people that make trash posts. Don't bother clicking.

Hey, OP, now you need to post a stern warning against Necro-ing old threads. Then you'll effectively eliminate both options, and we can all just share Khajiit videos.

Damn, I expected to see only 1 phrase: L2P.

Youre not my mod.

I ask myself before each and every post I jot down with my two finger type system, will this make someones day? Usually the answer is: Yes, mine!

I believe I can fly, mhh mmhh touch the sky ....

Edit: I just realized that song is over 20 years old, so ... might not be as popular anymore, perhaps there is a more contemporary version, please let me know.

Is...is it bad that I disagree with this approach? If you have an issue, and/or have a suggestion, absolutely post it!

It may look kinda spammy if there's already a bunch of threads on it, but considering how poorly ZOS replies to actual feedback, maybe it's needed. They can't very well have General Discussion look like "this is broken, this is broken, yes this is broken, this still broken, this broken since last patch, this broken since last year, this broken since launch, this is broken too". They have to keep up appearances. So maybe this is what it would take to finally get them to refocus from their monetization myopia to actually fixing the darn game. Well, either that or they will start heavily deleting threads. Word of which tends to spread pretty quick too, and which can be quite lethal to the forum (as soon as people realize posting anything is pointless because it gets immediately deleted) and thus the forum-going faction of the community. Taxation without a voice and all that.

I mean, all jokes aside, you can easily find threads like "OMG, this latest 2,000 crown thing is so awesome!" and BAM, ZOS reply with "Oh, we're so glad you like it!" But if the thread says "Ability X is broken, and has been broken since Y, please fix it", what do we get? Crickets.

This is not to say forums should be chock full of any old nonsense. But let's face it, there's more than enough broken stuff about this game, and fixes are super slow and sometimes just don't happen. So maybe "Is it fixed yet?" kind of posts constantly poking them is what's needed.

We need more threads on a necromancer class.

If pvpers weren’t the real Care Bears, then they wouldn’t farm people in pve gear and pve rotations. They would insist on playing prepared opponents. The way to do this is to get pve out of cyrodil. But there’s a river of tears if it gets brought up. Care Bears.

As I read this thread all I could think of was my kids pestering my wife.

Mom.
Mom.
Mom.
Mom.
Mom.
Mom.

She then goes to the bathroom for 40 minutes.

The family silently contemplates the bathroom break duration mystery.

She emerges.

Mom.
Mom.
Mom.
Mom.

Wife:Yes?

Kid1: I like Apple Pie.

Wife: That's nice honey.

Kid 2: Kid 1 is stupid...apple pie sucks.I hate apple pie. Why can't we have cake?

Wife: Be nice to kid 1 one kid 2, I love you both. Now that's enough of this conversation, time to get ready for bed.

Summary Outcome: She completely loses the ask for cake as opposed to the more frequent instances of pie amidst the ragey troll from Kid 2. We talk about it later in private as I overheard the conversation. We intend to get cake, get distracted with more important things, and continue to get pie. We never recall our private conversation, nor convey it to the kids.

Mom.
Mom.
Mom....and the cycle continues.

What does need to happen is miss closing threads that have been dug up from the past ... If we have searched out a topic found a thread n added to it it because that topic is relevant, yes it maybe two year old but if old issues are coming back it's sign that we've cone full circle n the changes didn't work so now we need to rethink the strategy

The damn forum us filled with topics discussing the same *** but rather than keep one mods close old ones ... From my experience if your hiding old information it's cos you're hiding your mistakes n not taking your role on improving seriously ... But that's just from someone who works in improvement management

Someone got upset because random strangers on the internet weren’t providing them with a fresh stream of forum content to keep them entertained, so they wrote a lengthy post to complain about it.

Hello,
We are closing this thread as it is off topic. This forum is for the discussion of The Elder Scrolls Online and we would like to keep it that way.
