This game is missing a ton of stuff, much of which will never be added.

Yup, you totally right.
Pretty much EVERY game out there has "a lot of potential". Yet they never add any of the suggested stuff. They go off on a totally different route.

Give them time. There are far more important issues with the game. Once they get into the grove of releasing content through the Crown Store and DLCs. Im sure more quality of life features will come along.

This is just the way MMOs are.

Ya ok,
You know GW2, there PvP leaderboard has been in beta for like, since it launched lol.
I've heard this, give em time stuff over and over before.
If developers, cannot fix a simple leaderboard algorithm (hire some mathematician to do it for them, listen to community) than I doubt there abilities. GW2 has the leaderboard beta since forever, this game has the game crashing bugs, since launch (according to Francis, and me playing the game today).

It would help if they started helping us to provide "content" to fill in the gaps when we are all waiting for new zones and quests.

Give us more emotes for a start. Then we can liven up the towns and cities with a few acrobatics displays. Give us theatres or stages and we will entertain you with dancing and plays. I see many animations done by NPC's that we currently cannot match as players.

Give us some cards and dice in taverns so we can amuse ourselves with those.

There are many who want to do this sort of thing but we just don't have the tools at the moment. Can't hold a festival without allowing players to do festival things.

An in game events calendar that all guilds could post on would be really good too. Could work in notice board format so you can see what is going on where each day. No point holding a travelling market or putting on a play if no one knows it is happening.

I haven't beat the game yet, but I'm really close to beating it and starting to think, what am I going to do now? GW2 has legendaries you work on to achieving, unique items from quests (this game I haven't seen any of that) such as something that eats bloodstone dust and gives you items. Looking at the end game prespective from nearing it I don't see much I could be doing, besides PvP all day, which its kinda gotten stale due to lack of small scale arena to test out builds to learn to handle my own.
But one thing that struck me, playing cards.
You know how I mentioned Final Fantasy X has Blitzball (I said IX but I meant X), well IX has the card game. Lemme tell ya something, that thing was mad fun. Another SMALL THING that just boosted the game fun factor, hence why FINAL FANTASY games I'd say up to X are highly fun and high rated. Due to the fact it had small things in them that made them fun.
Seems like the games started being crap after WWE decided to not do competition and all there games are going to be WWE##, rather than PS version of WWE vs Nintendo version vs Microsoft version (Nintendo gamecube one was the best WrestleMania XiX storymode), Here comes the pain was really good too. Than with GTA pretty much after San Andres all there games just aren't good anymore.
But ya, if they implemented a card game that would be really fun addition. EQ did that, I liked it, played it when I couldn't find something to do in game. I liked the FFIX card game more though, play against someone, random cards from your deck are dealt to you, you win, you take one of your opponents cards that you beat, you lose, you lose a card.

Well, if you think a game "needs" all these things people are suggesting, then go design a game yourself! Or hire people to design the game of your vision. Then see how successful it is. The very best outcome means we get a game many people like and enjoy. And at the same time shows people how difficult it can be to try and cram many things into an MMO.

I'll do this for ESO,
First off, GW2 was in the works the same year ESO was in the works. GW2 is finished and released a year before ESO.
GW2 had pretty much NO ENGINE to run on, GW1 was like 7 years old.
ESO had SKYRIM ENGINE to run on, Skyrim, pretty much NEW ENGINE.
What went wrong?
Well if you look at there budget...
How much was spent on voice acting?

Give me that 150MILLION or so, spent on voice acting, heck I'll get you voice acting, also get you mini games, simple stuff, AND POCKET 50MILLION for myself.
You want to help me out? Giving you 100 thousand dollars, work on this simple stuff, lemme know if you need more help.
Give this other person 100 thousand dollars to work on another simple stuff.
Give you 50 thousand dollars to fix bugs that HIGHLY notable people like Francis, and Angry Joe mentioned.
Voice acting? Give ya 100 thousands to make a program that LEARNS someone voice and all I have to do is type a word and the program will say those words, only time I'll need the actual words is when I need them to say "Tu'whacca" correctly.

I know SEVERAL people that are in the video game industry, but they just don't have any job.
Thing is, some people get PAID way too much, and theres like few people doing everything.

YOU FOCUS on that, YOU FOCUS on that, more people more stuff gets done, more stuff gets looked at.
Heck, I'd probably hire a FEW full time developers, but other people will just help with them game/part time, and if they do a good job, than I'll hire them.

Why you think this game only has a few developers that actually talk about what they doing? Because they doing it all, they overloaded, and have little time to actually look at suggestions.
You never see like 5 developers in the same area talk about anything. Too much 1 guy does it all. "Don't hire more, he'll step on my feet! Just give me all the cash!"

One last thing,
With the voice acting.
I think GW2 did a better job than ESO regardless of ESO spending more and "fully voiced"
Thing is, in GW2 they put voice acting where its needed, in the actual gameplay.
Like during PvP you have commentary.
When a treb shot is coming to your area, someone shouts trebuchet!
When you do stuff, your character will actually talk to you.
- Like you drink a potion on an engineer asura he will say "excelsior!"
- You use the skill Stand your ground, the person will should Stand your ground.
Much much more, but that... That's just a simple thing they did right.

For this game, something simple such as adding voiced commentary of "so and so has picked up the scroll" in PvP, would make it a little better. This game is fully voiced I thought??? Yet that isn't voiced.
Simple things stack up, and make something into something big.

Which you don't have, nobody has, you don't have the slightest info about, nobody has.

We can with most certainty say that budget is more than 200 mln $. Everything else is just guessing.

Just thinking about 200 MILLION.
If you gave a student that was just graduating 200 MIllion to spend on making a video game such as this, do you think they'd be like,

wow that's more than I need,
or be like, oooh that's not enough money to do something like this?

If you gave me 200 Million, heck I'd give people 200 thousand spending money, keep 50 Million myself.
That's 750 people that work under me, how many people do you think work for this game now? Probably like 100.

I'd say 200 thousand is more than enough for those people to do anything too, even pay there own bills.
That 50 Million I saved for myself, maybe I'll reward those that show extraordinary work and give them bonus like 75,000.

Theres sooo much you can do with a 200 Million dollar budget, having bugs in your game, is just UNACCEPTABLE.
Not being/having enough time to make simple stuff that enhances gameplay and fun factor is UNACCEPTABLE.

Not enough time, too many problems, too much to do? Well theres not 10-20 of you developers, I got 50 more developers.
Someone just mention a bug in game, it gets fixed within 24 hours.
Someone just mention a problem in game, someone cheating, your stuck. A GameMaster appears within an hour and resolves the issue.

I got 200 MILLION baby, cant stop me.
