What do you consider a waste and could be stripped from the game?

Please keep conversation polite. No flaming ZOS; devs past or present. This is not a focus on skill nerfs, unless you can fit it to the topic without salty opinionated flamethrowers. What could be taken out of TESO that no one (not just you alone) would miss that might free up some bulk programming space?

I personally think the armor repairs system could be completely removed and no one would miss it.

    well in cryodiil, inside of the castles there are guards around the wayshrine teleport stones inside every single castle. [thats alot of useless guards]
    those guards not only are completely not in lore but, they are also rude in thier comments to us. and they serve really no purpose.
    in addition to that those guards get in the way when you spawn at the castle wayshrines and often times i cant move, forced to go around them.
    i see zero use for those guards being there, i consider them a waste, and they could easily be removed and stripped from the game, it would put a smile on my face and many others with them gone.
    but that's just my opinion.

    I'd say, ERPers, but they're way too prone to stripping themselves.

    The attitude of NPCs being so repetitive. The constant threatening/condescending nature of many NPCs in a "joking manner." Enemy NPCs talking about your accomplishments in an odd manner.

    Quotes that bug me...

    "If you want to lose 10lbs of ugly fat, I'd be happy to chop your head off."
    "My temper is short and my blade is long...so watch it."
    "I'm going to live forever...or at least die trying."
    "If you break any laws around here, I'll break your skull."
    "I bet if you spoke your mind you'd be speechless."
    "Go on. Say something intelligent."
    "A couple arrows shy of a quiver are you?"

    They could remove the entire Vestige quest line and it wouldn't affect the rest of the game other than the Soul Magic skill line that could be integrated into the 1-50 leveling.

    Hang around Wayrest. Back when Wayrest bank was the capital of purple motifs, you'd hear it maybe 700 times.

    The '10 pounds of ugly fat' line always bothers me because if we're measuring game distance in meters, we should be measuring game mass in kilograms.

    "I am a nightblade. Blending the disciplines of the stealthy agent and subtle wizard, I move unseen and undetected, foil locks and traps, and teleport to safety when threatened, or strike like a viper from ambush. The College of Illusion hides me and fuddles or pacifies my opponents. The College of Mysticism detects my object, reflects and dispels enemy spells, and makes good my escape. The key to a nightblade's success is avoidance, by spell or by stealth; with these skills, all things are possible."

    It's even weirder when you realize that TES has this semi-random set of weights, and doesn't use either the Imperial or Metric system.

    Different nationalities work on the game and write story line and dialogue. They just never made agreements on what kind of measuring system they would use. Therefore both are used.

    Traits.

    There is always going to be a single mathematically optimal trait for each class/role. All other traits are useless in comparison. No amount of balancing can fix this. It's just the way math works.

    The only purpose traits serve right now is to make grinding as torturous as possible.

    Honestly, I always found those to be some of the best quests in the game. On a buff server, they were very meh, but on an active server, where hostile players might be in the vicinity, they were something really special.

    Rngs and timers (riding lessons,trait research)
    Achievements locked cosmetics (honestly,dyes and cosmetics should not be locked behind content, hell we should be making dyes with flowers and plants)you get to earn your ego boosting titles)
    Prosperous and training removed
    CHampton system removed,
    Earrings added to jewelry(boom 2 more slots!!)
    Removal of guild trade,now each player can have a vendor at there house which can be accessed through a house menu( this will free up lag in crowded cities)fees will be implied for listing,but only taken if an item is sold.
    Removal of classes,instead you pick skills limited to no overlapping(i.e. one execute,one gap closer,etc)
    World and guild trees remain
    Armor restyling after lvl 50
    Progressive dungeons with custom group sizes (mobs get tougher after each completion and increase in numbers.group size can be any amount up to 24 and the dungeon will scale) optional to turn off.
    Tutorial zone (a place where beginners can learn things like combat/crafting while getting a xp buff.vet players can participate as a "mentor" and earn a title and some cool things for helping them once they complete it. (Only doable 1/acct)

    Just some ideas that probably suck.

    Also, not sure about this entirely would need someone's confirmation, there seems to be emotes that are exactly the same animation just worded differently? Not talking the extended ones that run on longer cycles.
