It's amazing how people come to these forums and post comments without bothering to check the 'Dev Tracker' at the top first to see if anything has been responded to, in this case, it has been.

See HERE for the explanation of Earthtear Cavern, and HERE for Mathiisen.

Yes, and it's amazing how people over-react to bugs and get all worked up in a way that isn't productive of anything. By all means, report bugs when you see them, report problems when you have them. But all this shouting and chest-beating and Righteous Anger is just childish and accomplishes nothing. Bugs happen, and in my experience ZOS does their best to fix them. It won't happen overnight, it won't happen with a Big Fanfare, and it won't happen any faster no matter how much shouting and swearing and cursing of ZOS you engage in.

@ProfesseurFreder
And Zos announcing planned changes before making them won't help? won't avoid bug reports for things that are intended changes (earthtear caverns)? wouldn't avoid Zos's time and energy being spent on handling these unnecessary bug reports?

Or is your contention that Zos properly informing players would be a bad thing, detrimental to the game or players?
Or that giving enough information so that players can discuss while fully informed can't possibly lead to better outcomes for development?

Or are you saying that Zos could not possibly do any better than they are right now. That it's impossible for them to improve the way they do things, as it's already absolutely perfect?

I don't see how anything you said is relevant to this thread, did you mean to post elsewhere?

Of course, that anger may indeed fall on deaf ears but these people are clearly spenders in ESO since the house could only be purchased with crowns, and if they withdraw future financial support from the game over this, that hurts everyone... including you.

*gasps*

Yes, just imagine the horror if they did withdraw financial support and the devs would have to stop selling $50 mounts, $150 houses and $??? scamboxes, because nobody would buy them anymore, and would have to shift focus on making the game fun, fixing bugs and selling subscriptions, in effort to stay afloat.

How ironic that you would respond to a post referencing the ZOS explanations without reading the them. That's funny.

The change to Earthtear Cavern was not a bug. It was an intentional change to a house people spent upwards of $100 cash on, months after they purchased it. The "Chest beating and righteous anger" you think accomplishes nothing is a way to send a clear message to management that you don't take someone's money for a house, then change it later with a "sorry, not sorry" attitude.

Of course, that anger may indeed fall on deaf ears but these people are clearly spenders in ESO since the house could only be purchased with crowns, and if they withdraw future financial support from the game over this, that hurts everyone... including you.

pre-announcing changes would also help clear up if something was a bug, as unannounced would = bug.

I don't own or plan on owning Earthtear caverns, but think those that bought before the changes should get some kind of rebate or compensation.
