Weapon Color Change and Weapon Poses

I already made 2 threads about those 2 topics, but theyre too old now and noone will look at them again, so i make a new thread for both, because theyre kinda on the same page.
After I rampaged the last years about all the big problems that Eso has, now with C(l)ockwork City I'm at the point that i realize: Those big problems will never change. Zos isnt going to do anything about them, theyre too complicated to fix for them and dont bring enough money for the work. So i guess i wont talk about those anymore, im tired of complaining and seeing nothing changes, ever. We will just have to live with them, which is sad, but as ive seen the entire time, we cant do anything about that. Zos isnt a company that cares for its users/players.
But i still want to bring Ideas for the game (that arent that new tbh, i dont take credit for ideas thousands of people already had, but i still want to revive them until maybe something happens...), and because of that, ill keep talking about little Things that could have a big impact on the game for all of us.

And that brings me back to the topics: Weapon Color Changes like we already have for Armor, and Weapon Poses like we already have for normal Idles.
Because, like i said, those 2 things are kind of already in the game, I cant believe it to be that hard to implement them. Most people wanted Weapon Color Changes since the beginning, because, again, we already can color Armor since forever, and thats very nice. Imagine if we would not have that, then we really would have 0,0% diversity. For the Weapon Poses, i dont know if anyone except me wants that or could see that implemented, but if we already have normal Pose options, why not while we have our Weapon drawn?
And now for the important part... at least the important part for Zenimax: It would bring a metric f***ton of cash, because they could sell colors and poses in the Shop, like... they already do... so i only see profit for them. And thats the biggest part why i dont understand why we dont already have that. Theyre missing so much money! And as we all know, thats the most important thing in the world for Zos! So... why? How? What?
If i had a game and could make goddarn money by selling goddarn colors and poses in a goddarn cash-shop in the game... lets ignore that they already do exactly that... why would i not do that? (Except i would care for my players and would bring that for free and i dont like the idea of cash-shops, but lets keep being realistic here, were talking about one of the biggest gaming companies to date here. :# )

And i know Zos wont look at this, they dont look in the forums, but i wanted to ask for the opinion of you, the players, if and why you like those ideas or hate them, before i write anything to the Devs. Becuase when im completley alone on this, i can add this to my list of things i wont bother with anymore. They wont change even such small things if not enough players want them.

    Had to skim-read the seemingly endless ranting, but yes, weapon colours and stances would be extremely cool and well received.

    I can understand, not even i like my ranting anymore, but i cant help it like it seems... =D But nice to see that at least one other person so far would like something like this in the game, thats... something i guess. <w<

    I believe weapon dyes are on the way soon, since you can already see your weapons in a slot in the dye interface. The only issue now is how it will be added. So many people wanted a craft bag that it was profitable to put it inside ESO plus, and I know many people sub just for that. So there is a high probability that Weapon Dyeing will be a Plus bonus only, or some kind of crown purchase. I am not really complaining about this but would just like to let you know to be prepared for this potential outcome :)

    I have no issue with it become a eso+ perk, but I'd hate to see it to go CS only.

    But as far as I know ZOS they will lock it behind an endless grind where you have to do the same content 50+ times to get 1 of the 3 dye slot unlocked for one time use only.

    I really hope they will just make it available like the armor colors... but even if not, that still would be already more then we have atm, and that's pretty sad. xD

    Oh for god sake, I can't see why they won't just add weapon dyes. It is something we all want, and everyone hates running around with red weapons. I just want a normal steel colour weapon. If they make it awkward to achieve this (having to create the dye with hard to find materials) I will be very disappointed, because they don't do it with shields and armour, so they shouldn't do it with weapons. The weapon dye feature is very very late and it should've been accessible when they allowed you to change shield colours.

    I actually love those players that are against weapon dyes because it's 'unnatural' and they are afraid of pink daggers. Guess which color current weapons are in? Red :D.

    Yay for wepon dyes!

    Weapon dye system - sure!
    It might be limited in colors compared to armor one, but still better than no dye system we have now.
    About poses. I would like to see sheath/unsheath similar to what NPCs do, especially for 2h weapons.

    I can guarantee you that if/when they implement weapon dyes, ALL my weapons will have at least some pink. ;)

    Another useless cosmetic change thread to distract from the real ones involving major bugs and performance issues.
    I'm a PVE roleplayer concerned about my vampires stage 4 skin tone and keep getting load screens so I came here to distract people from major issues with a rant thread about my characters cosmetic appearance.

    At this point, limited or no i'll take any optional weapon dye colours outside of the disgusting dark red.
    (what is this, Runescape? *rimshotseinfeldtheme*)

    Related note: ..... nobody actually seriously throws around the ridiculous defense of "just use weaker weapons if you want other colours, if you're a good dps you can handle! =D" That's just something terrible that the spiders inside my head thought up as a straw man hypothetical, right?

    I don't think extra poses are too important because there are already personalities, and would throw out the amazingly uneducated guess that creating new weapon attack/idle drawn animations might be more work than figuring out selectable extra weapon colours. But i'unno.

    You dont want to know HOW many threads on the "real" problems i made. As i said, i gave up on those, Zos will NOT fix them, ever, so i cant care anymore. Its really sad, but thats the way Zos rolls.

    Tbh, i dont take Zos seriously anmore... and thats nothing new. Years ago i made "normal" Threads that spoke of big problems, but even back then they would have ignored it even if it was pinned to their faces. The only hope is they will look at this because many people write in this, and because it would make them money. Otherwise i would have no hope whatsoever of them reading this. And IF they do, i cant care less anymore what they think of me. I will make Fun of them Day and Night, my time already is over, i just want them to see how many people really want this, if only I want this, thats not important anyway.
    I only made this thread because like it seems, noone else tries (anymore). And im tired of trying too. But i have nothing better to do then trying to help other players have a better experience then i did for the longest time like it seems.
    Because the game is awesome. But Zos drives it against the wall as often as they possibly can. And because Eso makes too much muns, Zos wont ever give it to another Studio that would be able to handle this game well, so we will have to live with Zos, and we have to at least try to make minor things better... if we want them better.

    Ok, noone else going to discuss this topic any further? Not that im surprised... but i hoped more people speak against something they maybe would want in the game. Again, Zos itself will NEVER bring anything like this, without a big enough outcry of the community.
