Why is the weather not synchronised serverside yet?

This is something that keeps coming up during roleplay, has been over the last 4 years. Why is the weather not syncronised serverside?
In a game where the moons are the same no matter who looks at them on the same server, why, why oh why, is weather not syncronised?
Two people can stand in the same instance, right next to each other and both see the same moon cycle as the other but one sees it through a thunderstorm while the other doesn't see a cloud in the sky. What is the reason that this isn't a thing yet?
The game can sync everything from emotes, weapons being sheathed or not, every piece of armour and dye on every player around you, its all syncronised. But the weather, no, for some reason not.
It would be really nice to roleplay and not have to ask out of character if everyone else is seeing a nice sunny day or not.

This has always bugged me, it isn't that hard to have the weather controlled by the server (per instance), that's just a few extra bytes of data every once in a while (weather actually doesn't change that often).

It surely doesn't change as often as someone unsheathing their weapon or an anchor dropping. -
SolidusPrime✭✭✭✭I never realized this was a thing. Seems odd. Maybe that's why the weather is so....boring. -
TheValar85✭✭✭✭✭oh finaly some one bring it this up, i am so agree with you
it is so stupid, to see in mid day (in real life) and in game it is midnight and so on.
Every mmorpg have this feature to synchronised serverside. Including realms Eu/NA and so on on every platform.
honestly it is not hard to do it, considering, we have seen alot of time how the guys changin teh weather in live stream Q&A.GM Of The Lusty Argonian ERPGM Of THe Alessia Dynasty PVP GuildGM Of The Guardians Of MiddleEarthMy Smiling Emperor Profile Picture: https://ibb.co/bsOM6n -

well, we're not talking about whether it's day or night. lots of people only get like an hour or two after work. it might eventually be saddening if every time they logged on it was bleak night, and they never got to see sunsets or bright high-noon vistas. i don't want our day/night cycle to be tied to GMT in any way.
what we're saying is that the weather can be different to two friends who are doing the same thing together. if one lady hit the pub to celebrate a beautiful, warm breezy night, and her friend meets her to get out of the rain and soothe his aching joints, but they walked to the same pub together that's silly.
and it looks like (from the outside) something they could do without too much trouble. we think it's a good change worth making, and if we keep bringing it up maybe they'll take the hint. -

This isn't even just about role playing, when i'm questing with my girlfriend and our characters stand next to each other and for mine it's a nice sunny day and she sees a huge rain storm, it's just really annoying.It's a shame it's not syncronised while in RP.
We literally have our monitors next to each other when we quest together and it bugs the hell out of both of us that the weather is not synchronized at all.

Snow in Alik'r it is then.
