    Repeatedly crouching over a fallen foe could be considered a pvp taunt. And a mining technique.

    Some sets have procs that happen when you taunt an enemy regardless of pve or pvp.

    Taunts don't work on enemy players. You do the damage with ransack but you can't actually force another player to attack you.

    No it does not force them to attack you. Taunts in ESO work only on monsters/NPCs.

    They should add taunts like they do in smite or something else or at least stop them from being able to leave cause what's the point of adding taunt to the game if it doesn't do anything

    Some people use Ransack because it procs the Tremorcale monster set. It's not as effective as it used to be since they added a delay and increased the cooldown but a few patches ago Viper + Black Rose + Tremorscale was FOTM. Also it does decent damage, it's cheap and it debuffs, which means that classes which lack stamina morphs for their damage skills will use Ransack as spammable.

    I mean I wouldn't even care if they changed it to a snare instead of taunt on pvp or reduced healing, or increase cost of armour skills etc

    That set will work in pvp. You cannot make them attack you but, the taunt will proc the set.

    No way. I don't know how Smite works but ESO being a game built around resource sustain instead of cooldowns, you can taunt large number of opponents and maintain 100% uptime on the taunt. Which would do nothing less than break PvP with potato builds every where.

    I don't even understand what you're complaining about here. Snares are ubiquitous (if anything we need less not more of them), you only need a disease enchant to defile people and cost increase poisons and CP passives are really a thing. None of these require any significant build changes from your part either. All easily accessible.

    Taunt (i.e. Pierce Armor) reduces the target Spell and Phys Resistance boosting everyone's damage against them and is also a very cheap spammable damage skill. Not sure what more you want from it.

    In smite they force you to attack of course you don't have to attack but you can't escape from a area around the person who taunted you until the taunts over

    You do use it. It's necessary for tanks in PvE.

    Taunt works on me. Especially when they refer my mom.

    This thread is lol, no way you can make a player not leave an area short of a stun. Use the range tbag taunt. It's the best in the game.
