Why do you stand around in capital cities?

I don't. I do my business and leave.

I'm going to beg on my drunken homeless nord character until I can buy a castle.

Wait! You're telling me no one's been looking at my bucket this whole time!?!

Better take my clothes off and do a dance emote then.

Violynne · April 2017

There's no option for "I don't", so put me down for "I don't".

I get in, do what I need to, then actually play the game I paid for.

Usually moving items from my crafting bag to my inventory in sellable stacks so I can post them on my guild traders. It takes a while....it's how I start everyday.

You're waiting/doing something.

I hang out in Davon's Watch. A lot. My guilds have even dubbed my spot "Wench's Corner". They will even come to Davon's just to see if I'm standing there playing my lute for my pet pig "Ned Beatty". Why you ask? Well, let me tell you!....

1. Recruiting new guild mates
2. Sorting inventory
3. Watching people, noobs and vets alike
4. Reading zone chat and LMAO
5. Smoking Skooma
6. Talking on Ts with guildies
7. Typing out guild mail / guild news letter
8. Waiting to start a Naked Dance Party
9. Waiting on people to get there stuff done when grouping for pledges/delvs
10. Laughing at people who want to know why I'm standing around in town
11. Showing off my 2014 QuakeCon Pet Pigglet
12. Looking for new players in chat who need help with questions or need gear crafted
13. Hitting the bong
14. Deciding what I want to go do next
15. Have limited time in game due to work or RL and don't want to get involved in something I don't have time for
16. Engaging in lore disscussions / arguments in zone chat
17. Showing off guild tabard / armor/ new armor/ costume
18. Watching silly people duel..i.e. those who think they are good duelers but really aren't

And the list can go on, but the real question is...Why is the OP curious or concerned about this? Also, FYI, I paid $15 for my mount off the ESO store WAY back at launch. No $300 dollar mounts here....LMao!!
Huzzah!!!!!

For lots of reasons. But the biggest is, my office chair is not a toilet. At my age, when you gotta go, you gotta go.

Office chair toilet, microwave on left, mini fridge on right, and I can stay in ESO indefinitely! Hmmmm......

I'd like to be able to say this hasn't happened to me......but I can't.

DaveMoeDee · April 2017

Dealing with crying baby. Or getting something to eat. Or some other reason for afk.

Drakkdjinn · April 2017

I stand in cities when the group finder is bugging out; I stand in cities a lot.

While you also ARE a cute wood elf girl you're pretending not to check out.

Runschei · April 2017

If I'm standing still then I'm having a peebreak. I check friendroster, guildroster, guild MotD, mail, map, questlog, achievements, inventory etc. while moving my ass somewhere. I multitask all the time

Standing still in starting cities on cool mount in super armor flashy dye always draws attention of newbies in rags

I don't, I'm not an attention seeker, I either play or do something else, I don't feel the need to stand around posing on my oh-so-common-special-mount or whatever else people think makes them look special.

Danikat · April 2017

You're waiting/doing something.

Usually it's because something has distracted me. Either I was reading the internet while loading in and I'm still reading/replying, or I've gone to do something in real life.

Sometimes it's because I just finished one activity, came to a town to clear my inventory and sort stuff out and now I'm trying to decide what to do next.

Edit: Oh, or it's because I'm having a conversation in chat.

supaskrub · April 2017

Normally its because I'm hanging around for the Daggerfall bank manager to spawn in after one of her many lunch/lavatory breaks....

O_LYKOS · April 2017

How on earth would I be trying to make someone jealous by standing around in a town?

Even more so, if I was to stand around on my somewhat expensive mount how does that effect others playing their game lmao

if i'm standing around, i'm afk.
