They should hire a fashion designer, all theyre costumes and armor look pretty much the same...

They could make tons of cash selling appealing costumes, like the npc neireds costume on Ax Corinth dungeon.

those are your desires and opinions.
you dont speak for the entire eso community.

He never did at any point.

He said 'make most of the community happy'. Guestimation maybe but nowhere did he usurp your ability to disagree with him.

Calm down.

With out the metrics that the game devs have he only speaks for himself. He can not claim it would make most happy,
nor can he claim it would quadruple profits since again he has no metrics on current profits.

More than that, just off rough user data, expecting profits to quadruple is kinda absurd. Basically saying, "do what I say, and this game will be the most successful MMO in history." Because, apparently, the only thing holding back ESO is making Werewolf a toggle (when there are relatively few werewolf players in the game, based on my completely subjective method of wandering around and looking at people's buffs) and perfected drops on normal (when only a tiny minority of the population ever even run trials.) Right.

I'm sure all those players out there fishing are thinking, "you know, this game would be fun, if I could just turn into a werewolf, and then go make a sandwich, come back, and continue fishing as a wolf."

- Space out content drops more, hire more QA testers and have longer QA testing periods, all the rushing does is cost customers (this does not increase profits)
This is always the risk of rapid development, on the other side if we don't have rushed out content people complain they're bored with nothing to do for months.
ZOS was taking on a new trials tester which seems they're looking at more skilled internal testing for their content.

- Make all resource nodes/chests/et cetera player-instanced to encourage organic socialising;
Instancing things is less social, because you no longer interact with other players regarding something. Yes it's frustrating when you compete with players however that's still organic interactions which can lead to socialsing.

- Have trials scale to the number of people playing them (dynamically, in case anyone joins/leaves) rather than expecting a set amount;
That's not something easy to balance for and would also require changing the way leaderboards etc. are calculated. It's easier for them to develop and balance around an expected group size and composition.

- Add difficulty settings to trials (including a casual difficulty);
This exists already. Normal, Veteran, Veteran HM (with mini-trials having various HM tiers)

- Have trial rewards drop at all difficulties, not just hard (hardmode rewards only serve a tiny minority, whilst peeing off everyone else);
This somewhat happens as well, just most of the highly desired items are locked behind the higher tiers. You can still get titles, dyes, achievements for normal levels.

- Actually listen to the class reps, don't be afraid to swap them out for new ones if you think they aren't listening to the community;
They're always going to listen, but may not always act. Just because the community wants something in a specific way doesn't mean it's best for the game. Also it's way too early to be talking about replacements of non-performing reps.

- Separate PvP from PvE balancing;
In some areas (sets) yes, but in regards to skills no. This is more a personal opinion of course, however as a PvX player I like having an understand what my skills do without having to learn two game modes. That's one of the things that attracted me to this game to start with.

- Focus on FUN over balancing for PvE content, don't be cowards about this (none of your current players find Everquest admirable);
That's not good if they also want competition. Also balance is fun, without having balance you'll see what we have now, people are not happy because their classes feel weak in comparison to others and they don't want to change class to enjoy the game. You're better having a game get all classes around the same level than going for fun and having one class be greater than everyone else.

- Make werewolf a toggle (seriously, how did you mess this up?);
Been suggested a lot before, with their latest changes for the werewolf DLC it seems this isn't an option they want, they've gone with passives which mean if you keep attacking you can stay in the form longer.

- Add a cosmetics system for werewolf players, with new werewolf forms (like the behemoth, and others) on the crown store.
More cosmetics and alternative looks for things is always welcome.

I agree iwth some of this post....

Trials are supposed to be hard... Rewards shouldn't be handed out for the sake of "fun".... Your grinding optimizing gear etc should lead to you being able to start trials.... Not just be able to walk in complete a trial and get end game better gear.....

I agree that ZoS needs to slow the f down with the DLC and Chapter release..... Do 1 big release and a 1 or two DLC tacked on to that Chapter release, but give people time to go through all of the content. Longer Testing phases would do some good.... Though Ive heard of rumors that bugs are popping up after the PTS and such.

I agree with separation of PvP and PvE..... Could lead to better balance expanding on PvP only gear so I dont have to PvE for BiS gear.....

They should listen to the Class reps and Im assuming are.... But not everything will go answered, and thats something we have to live with to a point.
