✭Second the Dead Horse one. It's often not even used right, the term being for "hopeless" or already resolved situations, not just something brought up often with no resolution (yet). People posting those graphics are like someone inserting themselves into a conversation or argument, over and over again, to tell people they shouldn't be arguing--which they inevitably do anyway. Which kinda makes the "dead horse" posts the actual "dead horse" that's getting beaten.This message confirms that you have successfully cancelled your subscription to The Elder Scrolls Online.

I understand that some people are upset at the changes taking place, but applying such terms to the developers whether collectively or individually is both offensive and unnecessary, and demeans any attempt to make a constructive criticism of the changes. The word (along with "lie" and "liar") needs to disappear from the forums so we can have a more rational discussion of the changes rather than continuing to drive the developers even further away from these forums.
"I understand that some people are upset"
No, you clearly don't.
I believe this phrase should disappear, along with the people that use it.

I know how to get "lied" out of the forums. Just add "We're sorry".

On a more jovial note... I would love the word "obviously" removed.
Only because it is usually followed by an explanation of whatever the person deemed obvious.
But I guess it's good for a laugh

✭✭✭✭✭Blanket statements like "We want" or "Nobody likes" or "Everyone knows" when they should be saying "I want" or "I like" or "I know".
Also "...then just leave!" - this phrase used to try to silence any dissent doesn't help anyone.5 -

PUG is just "pick up group." While many players don't like PUGs, it's not a derogatory term. I've had some great PUGs. Not many, but some. It's just playing with people that you don't usually group with/aren't in your guild.Heals With Stick, V11 Argonian Nightblade Healer, NA-EP3 -

Just an annoying phrase from an annoying person.
