Does this game need more exciting loot to chase?

It appears to me that all the mounts and mini pets you can get are in the store, and there is a severe lack of (i.e zero) these items available in the game via achievements/bosses.

One of the reasons people play games like WoW, for example, is that there are tonnes of stuff to collect and show off, but in this game it seems the main focus is on weapons + armour and all of the cool 'show off' items are bought only from the store.

Does anybody else think we need more fun loot drops in this game?

    I wouldn't mind but it's not that big a thing to me because I am not really into "showing off". I am, however, a real sucker for pets, mounts and costumes because I think they're fun.

    I've been pretty happy with the drops I've gotten in the game and it doesn't hurt to have crafters to upgrade drops either.

    Just make fishing more exciting. Like Deadliest Catch so we can fish for crabs...

    Loot could definitely use an overhaul in this game. Chests, boss-drops....everything should be revamped.

    Still yes. They should go back and visit some classic mmos. Loot in this game is exceptionally
    exceptionally weak and unenthralling.

    I like to play the role of an artificer, treasure hunter, and monster/demon slayer, and unique loot is a big part of that. I have zero incentive to hunt for treasure that has no value, which is most of the game's loot, minus 2pc sets.

    Isn't that what skins & polymorphs are for? Doing hard content & getting a cosmetic item for 'showing off'? Arguably there is also Maelstrom weapons, Asylum weapons, Black Rese Prison weapons, Master weapons... those these are all not cosmetic... still hard to get yummy weapons!

    Yes? No? Maybe? TES was never about loot. I mean, maybe someone got excited once about getting rare loot in some dungeon somewhere in Morrowind, but that never happened to me in the 15 years I’ve played the series.

    I guess it depends what ZOS wants ESO to be. A TES-type game would focus more on stories, quests and character progression. Loot is more the domain of MMOs and... Diablo? So since this is an Elder Scrolls MMO, there is far more focus on loot and shinies than TES games normally have. I wouldn’t necessarily want more shinies, coming from TES.

    If this is about RNG, though, yes, we need better chances to get existing loot. Grinding is not fun, ZOS.
