    In the end, this game is an MMO with TES added, not TES with an MMO added. i.e, it's more MMO than TES. So expecting it to be more TES than MMO will always end in disappointment.

    Mmmm, I don't quite agree that ESO is more MMO than TES. It's a compromise between the two and as a result there will always be stuff that leads to people being unhappy because it is a compromise. Like the easy overland content which like a single player TES game makes ESO very accessible to the average, casual player, but leaves the vets and many more experienced MMO players harder modes) (as well as those who used to do TES on yearning for something more difficult. But as it's an MMO you can't scale difficulty for the individual without scaling it for everyone, unless perhaps we're talking about an individual debuff.
    The flip side is hardcore, TES single players who are looking for a new TES game and are unhappy with the necessary telegraphs and markers needed in an MMO, such as that red eye thing. Or the streaks from hard and interruptable attacks which I personally find far more immersion breaking if I were going to complain about something like that. Which I'm not, it's just an example.

    ESO was never going to satisfy either crowd perfectly as it's a compromise and compromises inherently will always have parts that the other side doesn't like but have to live with in the spirit of a compromise. The alternative at least in this case, would likely be no game at all.

    The game is great, I'm just annoyed by these red flashes and I can't do anything about it, I hope the developers will hear my pleas and help the suffering stranger. :'(

    Yes I am sure ZOS are going to stop everything to remove one of the things in this game that actually works as intended because one dude thinks it's from anime for some [snip] reason.

    [snip] I do not ask the developers to fix it immediately, but only add this setting (at least in the config file) in one of the next updates. [snip] For me, this feature is completely unnecessary, so I ask developers to allow it to be disabled, and those who like it will continue to use it. It's great to have a choice.
