Is this new?
Posting privileges: Only players who own The Elder Scrolls Online are allowed to post in this forum.
So how is one supposed to help with info if he/she can't post?

✭✭✭✭✭I guess you can't unless you've purchased the game on Steam, might be to stop people just trash posting there.
If you're looking for forums to help people focus on these ones or Reddit where you won't need that additional purchase.@Turelus - EU PC Megaserver

Coggage✭✭✭✭I might spring the £7.50 for the game on Steam - I won't bother using it though, I'll just use it for the posting privileges.1

No. One of the key advantages of Steam is that you can open reviews+forum and see what game really is. And I bought ton of games in gog but since gog forums are dead, I discussed them on Steam just fine. Enforcing that limitation just shows that ZOS is afraid non-steam users will come to Steam to bash game for performance etc. Smells bad.3 -

I would rather know that all the posts/comments I am reading are from people who actually purchased or played the game than just reading the opinions of anyone who's watched a video about how it's bad then run around the internet spewing that without ever trying themselves.

I agree that this might be an issue for new and/or small games - some trolls or just opponents can bash it, and so people won't buy it. But for huge, well-established games with millions of players... how many trolls are needed to cover reality? It's unreal. And AFAIK when question is about money, majority have enough IQ to see what posts/reviews are biased and which not.
BTW, ESO steam forum looks quite dead too, so I don't know why ZOS bother with those posting privileges.1 -

For PC players, that's right Mr B. A few players own the game on console though and the icon wouldn't show up. They sometimes asked questions about the game on the Steam forums.
