Any promises on removing FOG?

Hey guys. Here's a screenshot from a Russian player. The one on the left says "ESO of a healthy person". The one on the right "ESO of a smoker". Nuff said.
The screenshot on the left was made with the help of ESOLauncher utility from here: gamemodi.net which completely eliminates default fog from the game that makes it look like 2003 Morrowind. It makes ZERO impact on performance as this default fog is present only to hide ugly and underworked distant environment. The one on the right is a default maxed out visuals with the same weather and time of the day in game. All covered in fog as always.
I have a question to ZOS. So are you guys planning to actually make ESO look like a modern game by improving distant landscapes eventually and giving people an option of disabling this fog, or players are doomed to use external utilities like that all the time? Thank you.

stmalkb14✭✭You can check it all out and download at that link I gave. I also use SweetFX preset with it, but that fog removing job is done by that utility only. It also allows you to set Field of View as you need for your monitor, as this feature doesn't exist in the game as well. It's all set in it's Settings.ini0

Phantorang✭✭✭✭Performance.
Lower end machine performance.
Thats why.
Why nerf everyone down to a low end machine performance? Seems ridiculousFimbulwinter Recruiting true Vikings | Campaigns score | EU PC0 -
fyendiarb16_ESO✭✭✭I am a bit in doubt now, I love the viewing distance, but the sky looks distorted somehow. Besides the different color that is which is also strange since you claim both are with the same weather.2 -

Dips about 2-3 frames.
Not enough to matter.
After using sweet fx you realize how clouded over everything looks. Like the game looks great but use sweet fx

Maybe you mean depth of field distortion? Also, difference in colors is due to SweetFX which is enabled along with that utility. It makes no difference any way, the fog is what matters.

The only level you have "Over9000" is your ability to copy and paste in old threads it seems.2 -

Maybe, but I am sick of playing like that, not being able to see anything beyond 200meters, therefore raising the awareness, only way to do it mate
