    Would I find it convenient to port directly into the thieves den? Certainly! But I think it would make it too easy to escape from any tight spot without risking detection or loss of loot. Plus, isn’t the point of these places to be hidden away and inaccessible to outsiders?
    You can travel to your house or any wayshrine anyway, many who is close to thief guild hideouts.
    I uses the sleek creek house.

    Agree with the hidden and inaccessible part.

    On the other hand it would speed up things and probably reduce load on zone.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    I would like the wayshrine to be unlocked at a particular level or maybe once you complete the story content for each guild.

    There's not a single indoor location in the game with a wayshrine.

    Not one.

    And someone is telling us that two locations from long since released DLCs now need them simply because they are impatient?

    No.

    You can already escape without any risk of detection via wayshrine.

    True, but if you have a bounty on you, you can’t wayshrine just anywhere if you want to avoid the guards. And certainly there are places you can go and access an outlaw’s refuge with little risk — but you have to have found/unlocked these wayshrines or home (eg. Sleek Creek). Plus, it is more the principle of it; that a den of thieves, assassins or other outlaws would have to be “off the grid.”

    I voted yes, but only for the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary to aid in the convenience of those quests. I think being able to directly port to the Thieves Den in Hew's Bane would be too convenient, given the other uses there - fencing and paying off bounties.

    Being able to port to the Sanctuary while having a bounty isn't really any more advantageous than porting to your house. You can't fence items or pay off your bounty in the sanctuary. There are things you can do while you wait, but there are things you can do in your home while you wait.

    Right now you can port for free to your home, which I have done on many an occasion to get out of trouble. I see no difference in principle putting wayshrines in the refuges. Going there the old fashioned way takes So. Much. Time.

    Especially when it is impossible to get detected anyway while you are getting to Thieves Den through the pipe outside of Abah's Landing :| And you anyway can escape any chasing you guard through the Footpad (guess it is right name, when NPC appears and teleport you to Refugee) skill

    Thieves Den and DB Sanctuary are not supposed to be readily accessible. They supposed to be shady places normal people don't go.

    I voted yes, but I think it should only be available after some sort of attunement or completing the first quest or two.

    I voted no because instead of wayshrines I want both places to have ‘inn style’ rooms for us to own and furnish, and of course housing includes a free port to your house.

    Nice idea but then you would have another load screen coming out of your room thus still having 2 load screens and the point being to eliminate the second loading screen. You are right I always wished we had our own space in each guild.

    I can see why roleplayers might not want it because of immurshun, but for a quality of life feature, I guess it's okay.

    There should not be a wayshrine that allows one to port to a fence which is exactly what one in the TDs would do. I would explain why but I figure it is pretty obvious.

    Sure let me summon one instead its way more conveniant

    Of course. At a very heavy cost.

    So my point is extremely valid. Thx for helping to demonstrate that.

    No. Both Dark Brotherhood and Thieves Guilds are already close to unguarded wayshrines.

    Loading screens? never had one when wayshrining that was more than a few seconds.

    Also, heres one for all those yes voters: Name an indoor location that already HAS a wayshrine?

    Wayshines are not just convienient teleporter pads:

    Wayshrines are shrines built to honor the Divines, most often built at sanctified sites far from civilization. Many of these holy sites were chosen by the devout due to specific miracles or blessed events that marked them, though others simply inspire feelings of reverence. It is theorized that each wayshrine corresponds to a star in the sky, acting as a conduit between Mundus and Aetherius. Indeed, it is commonly believed that the souls of the dead are drawn to the nearest wayshrine for spiritual escort to the afterlife.[1] Wayshrines vary from culture to culture, built to reflect local religious beliefs and to honor the most prominent regional Divines. The only consistent feature appears to be a central brazier or basin. The practice of building wayshrines has been present on Tamriel since time immemorial and even extends into the various realms of Oblivion.

    To me it kind of fits. A master thief or assassin is being chased, ducks a corner and is GONE! Not hiding and shivering in fear he isn't caught, not slinking his way to safety like a scared dog, but GONE and left the flat footed guards in the dust, wondering what just happened. Meanwhile you're already drinking with your fellows and planning revenge on the one that double crossed you to get caught in the first place...


    Plus less "unusually long loading" screens would be nice..

    Part of the gameplay mechanic is to escape the law. Take that away and it's no longer a game, it's just a another quest to turn in. Buy the Sleek Creek house and then you have an instant port as a thieves den is outside the house if that's how you want to play, but seriously what you are asking for is to wreck how theiving and killing work.

    Yes, but it should be some kind of unlock at the end of the quest-chain, or maxing out the skill-line.

    I would view it this way: The operation of both DB and TG wasn't already shut down by authorities, exactly because of there not being access to the regular teleport system of wayshrines. So if there would be one in the future, that would be it for the outlawed practices of said enterprises.
