I did love the Crossbow in Skyrim, but i think people just really want it cause its the closest the game gets to having guns.

can we please have cross bows added to the game as weapons? They would fit a dragon guard so much better than bows (they basically need something with a lot of piercing power vs scales)...and oh god i find crossbows so much more interesting and cooler looking than bows... and they are established in previous elder scrolls games...
it would allow for close up and ranged skills as well as magicka morphs and stamina morphs
just think of all the
net shot (immobilize)
electrocute shot (stun)
flame and poison bolts
grenade shot
aimed sniper shot to fracture and breach
scatter crossbow shot
etc. etc..it would be and look glorious
if we cant get weapons...can we at least get a cross bow looking bow skin or a crossbow skill line with an amazing looking dwarven crossbow?? ? ? ?

With how fast DPS has to be in ESO, and how slow crossbows are by design, I don't think they would fit very well as DPS weapon. Now, if they figured out a way to make it a debuff/tankey weapon for breaking armor and such, perhaps.
...hell, why not give it utility as a stamina healer weapon. Have abilities that morph to shoot alchemical flasks or something that burst and heal allies, or healing darts.
The big problem I see is that it would always just end up too similar to the bow, and as others suggest silver shards already exists, no matter what you want to call the skills.

i dont think thats fair
you can say all 1h weapons are basically the same - why have different ones?
all staves are the same, why have different ones?
staves and bows are both ranged skills - why have them both?
crossbows i think can give a unique combination of stamina and magicka morphs as well as longer and shorter distance skills and a lot of utility
theres a lot of different staffs out there
theres only a bow when it comes to stamina weapons.
