What new competitive element would you welcome to this game?

I was getting a little tired of doing dungeons and trials are the main source of competition or content. What systems would you add? I know it sounds slightly whimsical but i wouldn't be opposed to have a competitive card game scene in Taverns. I've seen mention of rated Arenas too on this forum too.

What would you like to see?

    Hmm, how about:
    • Competitive mount racing (boons from gear/CP disabled or tiered play)
    • Parkour (of sorts) races. People could make the track in a house area (coldharbour) or ZoS could make. Certain skills, etc. disabled for level playing field
    • To add to 6Kyojin6's [OP] idea, incorporate Elder Scolls: Legends into ESO like Gwent is in Witcher 3

    Anything where conventional combat skills and gear have no impact.

    Don't want to give ZOS another excuse for nerfs due to competitive play.

    Taking your question seriously though, I like most of the ideas that were already suggested but wanna come up with my own. So I'd say something having to do with fishing. This often feels overlooked and forgotten and I'd like to see it revived!

    What we need for PvE is an update on leaderboards.
    Make them all time instead of patch and add a guildname if more than 6 players were wearing a tabard when achieving the score.
    Maybe add a temporary title when your name is on atleast one of the leaderboards.
    Score pushing players don't need much but honor them in some way.

    I'm not into competitive gameplay but tavern card games against others or npcs would be good.

    the removal of animation cancleing, it would create competitive pvp and pve element to have this glitch removed.

    and no i am not joking and no i am not being sarcastic, just honest feedback.

    For the record, I could handle the Combat Upgrade and the New Game Experience, but it was the introduction of a CCG to Star Wars: Galaxies that made me finally quit.

    If it's just in-game cards, that's one thing. But a CCG? Nope. That's a red line.

    I don't do competitive - but I wouldn't mind seeing tavern games. I wouldn't play them, but they do fit with the world, and would make the fairly sterile taverns seem more alive. And more normal. Keep in mind I grew up in Vegas, so gaming is something I've known since 1959....

    Horse breeding/racing. Like the chocobo system in FF7.

    Edit: And betting on the races, especially the races we actually ride in ourselves.

    More solo arenas, hard quests, new end game pve zones, difficult but rewarding dailies.

    There was a Horse racing thing datamined like ages ago, could be interesting

    Spell crafting, would be cool to have a spell book having to go over all of Tamriel to unlock and create spells and they could add new additions with each zone like they do with scrying.

    Mini games in Taverns, they have no use in the game atm, they should be busy with players etc etc. The games could be tied to race as well, each race having a different game to play.

    1v1 arena and a battle battle royale mode.

    An hourly "Thief Off" competition that takes place across the world, where everyone competes to steal the highest monetary amount of loot without getting caught. Getting caught resets the money total.

    It could start every hour on the hour, and players could visit an NPC in a thief's refuge to sign up as being included.

    Even if people don't place in the top they could get some kind of 'refuge' credits commensurate to what they stole.

    The ranked arena PvP is a great idea. I'd add betting on fights for us PvEr's.

    Also I'll throw my vote in on tavern games. Maybe work in something like ES:Legends in-game.

    If ranked arena/bgs is too much work give us group vs group "duels" and we will organize it ourselves

    Something not tediously long with huge pauses in between 'waves' but is incredibly mechanically difficult in an interesting way. BnS had THE most satisfying, skill testing, bosses in any MMO I've ever played and I'd like a crumb of that in ESO. Something like the challenge arena. High octane singular boss fights with class leaderboards for clear time. For context the kamehameha's it does is an insta kill even with dodging and if you get hit by ANY damage 3 times you will be killed iirc. The moves are generally random but are telegraphed well.

    Impactful, simple, skill-based boss leaderboards that can be jumped into and grinded without hassle by those who want to.

    Competitive play ruins mmos imo. These types of games thrive the most with their rpg-esque immersive elements.

    Competitive players have many other options such as moba's and fps'.

    What kind of logic is that. ESO started off as a competitive game, it changed into a casual game. There's been competitive audience for a long time. What ruins game is lack of innovation and new ideas.
