    Yes, I would gladly pay a fee to transfer

    I wish, I just started an account on PC even though I have over 1100cp on PS4. I haven't gotten far enough to judge lag where it would count so I'm not sure about that but I can tell you on my PC with a NVMe SDD fast travel within a zone is instant and traveling from one zone to another loads in 30 seconds at most compared to 3-5 minutes for either on PS4 Pro.
    The visuals are also way better on PC. Playing at 1440P with everything else set to max and hovering between 60-90 fps on a fairly low end 4GB AMD RX 570 gpu (while impatiently waiting for RTX 3000 cards) and everything is way more crisp than upscaled 4k on PS4. Rocks walls, plants, armor, mounts, visuals from skills, everything has more detail. The lighting quality on PC also blows away the PS4 Pro version.

    3 to 5 minutes? That's extreme and I'm pretty sure it has less to do with the PS4 Pro per se than with your internet connection. I'm on PS4 Pro as well, and even when I get an "unusually long load time" it takes about 30 seconds tops. The normal zoning time (inside a zone) is around 3 seconds for me and between zones it might take 10 to 20 seconds. Maybe you're connected with a cable on PC and use WLAN for PS4? That makes a difference as well. Although I should add that the times I gave before for my load screens were WLAN as well. If I used a cable - which I can't really because of the placement of PS4 and router - it would very likely be faster. So this is probably more of an internet than a console issue.

    Wrong, my internet is crazy fast, with 40MB download. Not to mention when you're zoning between levels you're not doing anything that is using a lot of bandwidth, all the info for world assets is already on the hard drive ready to be rendered.

    Tbh with the launch of the next versions of consoles it wouldn’t be a bad idea to let players transfer to PC from console if they choose as likely they’d have to transfer their stuff to the new consoles anyway.

    Well, then I don't know what it is, but my internet is the same speed as yours and my load times are obviously much faster, so... no idea what it is then, but I doubt it has anything to do with your PS4 - or that most other people on console have load times of 3 to 5 minutes.

    Edit: @ItsJustHashtag I don't know about the new Xbox, but my understanding about the PS5 is that it will be downwards compatible for a whole lot of titles. So likely there will be no transfer necessary, we will just be able to download the game to the PS5 and keep on playing as normal.

    No. I enjoy playing on console and wouldn't transfer even if it was free. Besides, ESO as a game is buggy as hell and an amazing pc won't change that.

    Biased poll is biased.

    ZOS said they're not doing console transfers.

    And considering PC players can answer it does not offer anything beyond entertainment value.

    BTW, I am pretty sure Zos has known they can monetize transfers. Let us be real about that. What is more likely the reason why they have not offered such an option is Zos can't make such a move without the permission of both MS and Sony. I would not be surprised if there was contract wording that stands in the way.

    Yeah, I doubt it has anything to do with internet speed as long as you're in the "sufficient" zone. I have 4G LTE internet (significant, because it results in restricted NAT) with an average speed of 10mb down, and I'm on a PS4 Pro, and my load times rarely exceed 30 seconds. I'm also playing with boost mode, supersampling and 1080p enhanced, all of which could theoretically affect performance. I think it has more to do with how many hops you have to make to reach the server, server load at any particular moment, and idiosynchratic things with your particular hardware and setup. For instance, my game data is on an SSD. Maybe that has something to do with faster performance?

    No, you're right, of course, there's a lot of stuff that could factor into it - ping and the availability of an SSD especially, I think (I'm not using an SSD myself, since I don't seem to have much trouble with load times in general... I really wonder why that is, actually). When replying first I was thinking mostly about the difference a cable can make compared to the use of WLAN, but since that doesn't seem to be relevant... well, who knows, could be anything, really. Basically I just wanted to give a counter-example to show that you can also have okay or even good load times on console, but it sure would be interesting to know what the experience of the majority is.

    Yes, I would gladly pay a fee to transfer
    Thing is, I have accounts on both console and PC already. I started during Beta, and then moved to console both because there was no gamepad support on PC at the time and because most of the people I knew had no gaming rigs that would run the game at full settings. But they had Xboxes, and that's where we played. Now that most of the people I knew have quit, it'd be nice to play on that platform again.

    On Xbox, the game just doesn't seem to run as fast or look as crisp; maybe that'll be different with the next gen, but who knows - may end up worse. There are no addons to make the QoL enhancements that the devs aren't interested in, either. There also aren't as many players, so some things (like grinding PVP to 50 and finding PUGs willing to run trials with noobs) are more tedious to accomplish. Plus, there's the PTS and the fact that PC gets content two weeks sooner.

    Ultimately, I just wish there was a way to combine the two accounts or have cross-platform play. Probably won't happen any time soon, if ever. But it's a dream.

    As Taleof2Cities already said, this poll is not only pointless, because there will never be such an option to transfer accounts, it is also biased in the way that it seems to indicate that basically every console user would like the idea of a transfer and the only reason why they ultimately wouldn't go through with it (if it were possible) would be that "it lags just as bad on PC". I can't speak for anybody else of course, but let me assure you that I wouldn't transfer my account from console to PC no matter what. Yes, PC master race and all that, I know that, not trying to say otherwise - but there are certain other reasons why people choose consoles over PCs (and no, most of them actually don't have anything to do with money or lack thereof) and I, for one, will never revert that choice. Been on consoles since the NES and will stay that way :)

    Hey they never said they would do alliance change tokens and now look?

    Well, yeah, but that's something that only ZOS themselves are involved in. They can always say one thing and then reconsider it later. The platform change, however, is also dependant on the consent of Microsoft and Sony, and my gut tells me, that's a barrier that won't be breached.
    Although I want to add that it is not as though I'm opposed to this, if, against all odds, it were to happen. Just because I personally wouldn't take advantage of it, doesn't mean I'm against it, I mean, why would I? I just really don't expect this to ever be a thing. /shrug

    __________________________Backstories:_________________________

    Ras Kalik the Vestige, a renown Redguard warrior; He has been blessed to save Tamriel from Molag Bal’s destructive Planemeld while reuniting the Five Companions. His further accomplishments after defeating Molag Bal, has been to stop the destruction of Morrowind, the Clockwork City, return order to the isle of Summerset and create a new king in Wrothgar and a queen in Elsywer. These events have made him a living legend and continue to lead him into new adventures throughout Tamriel, as well as into the hearts of many ladies including the Elf Queen, Aryenn. Over many years of adventurous travels, Ras Kalik had become a loner, until he re-visited his homeland of Alik'r.

    Alik'r and it's cities were overrun by the undead Ra-Netu and therefore he made an allegiance with Alik'r's own Ash'abah tribe. These Ash'abah with his help, cleansed the city of Sentinel in Alik'r desert and it's surrounding areas of the undead brought to life by the Withered Hand. After rescuing Sentinel from the undead zombies, King Fahara’jad’s personal bodyguard the Goliath of Hammerfell, who was given this name by Imperials in the region; was asked to assist the tribe after learning of the defeat of the Withered Hand to the Ash'abah. Kalik promised Goliath he would task him with fighting living enemies on the battlefield if he so desired. Goliath being a Yokudan warrior wields a massive sword in respect to the Ansei, a gift given by the Imperial, Cinan Tharn. Not many soldiers are able to wield double two handed weapons, but Goliath loves to get up and personal in a fight, so he also carries a giant maul, both weapons laced with magical flames.

    Jux Blackheart is a master thief that masquerades as a Bard at the Sisters of the Sands inn, with his younger sidekick Lucky Hunch for pilfering and gambling during this time. Jux was known to infiltrate any towns bank vault he came across and even delved into Ayelid ruins without detection. Kalik can vividly recall the night he met the famed thief. Jux found himself rummaging thru a slightly inebriated Kalik’s pocket for too long, on a full-mooned night and because of his greed and the glimmer of his golden armor in the moonlight. He lost his left pinky fingertip as a lesson! But in return, he gained a new friend, as it was his first time since a child being caught red-handed...

    Upon arrival back in the Alik'r after many moons of adventuring, Ras Kalik ventures to Bergama. Visiting The Winking Jackal, he runs into Jux Blackheart, who introduces him to the coin game Crowns vs Forebearers (Heads vs Tails) and Golden Dwemer (RBG).... Jux constantly takes gold from the unfortunate thru theft or gambling, his biggest gambling victim is actually his partner in crime known as Lucky Hunch the Gambler. Lucky doesn't mind losing any gold coins to Jux... as Jux saved him from Altmer slavers in Summerset, by stealing a key and sending him on a boat to the mainland years prior. Lucky spent years in slavery with Khajiits in Summerset and picked up the art of subterfuge, using illusion magic disguises and stealing there.

    Kaotik Von’Daemon an outcast, and a half-caste between a Breton mother and a Redguard father. Kaotik become a pariah due to his conjuration of Daedra pets. He was taught healing magic during his childhood years by his Breton mother. His father due to Redguard customs exiled him from the desert, sending him by wagon caravan to be a soldier in the war in Cyrodiil. He happened to meet Kalik while traveling from Alik'r, during this long caravan ride the caravan he was in was ambushed in Bangkorai by a group of bandits. Kalik by chance was also traveling thru this area on his Auridon Warhorse (which was bestowed to him by his friend, Darien Gautier). During this ambush, Kalik was able to rescue five hostages from the bandits. Kaotik was the first rescued, and Ras Kalik also recruited him to be in the Ash'abah tribe. These core Ash'abah tribesmen may never be seen together in travel as they partake in their own adventures but they always know what each other is doing; as they frequent a hideout in northern Bankorai. Their hideout an old Orc castle ruin, is kept watch by Nuzhimeh and she passes messages written between them, and frequently they also enjoy her company and her bed.

    The other men rescued were a Dunmer banker, an Imperial mercenary and two other soldiers, an Imperial and a Breton Knight, stating proudly he was an Akavir descendent. One of the Imperials, Cinan, claimed to be related to Abnur Tharn the Battlemage of the Imperial Elder Council (One of Ras Kalik's mentors in the Five Companions). Cinan Tharn was really Abnur's drunkard treasure hunting illegitimate son. He was caught smuggling artifacts out of the Ayleid ruins in Cyrodiil and the elder of the two Imperials was Tyrus Septim a retired Imperial navy battle-mage (now a Lycan mercenary living in the city of Rimmen) and guard to the Tharn family. As much as Abnur Tharn hated his half-sister Euraxia, he dislikes his bas†ard son Cinan more. Tyrus now a ruffian and privateer had been paid by Abnur Tharn to watch over Cinan as much as possible. Cinan Tharn a drunkard, loves to drink at least a quarter barrel of Nord mead before he raids various delves and dungeons for relics to sell on the black market. Cinan also plans to one day, run an illegal gambling ring... which he thinks will net him more gold for his wares.

    The Dunmer captive shackled to the Imperials looked familiar to Kalik from his time in Morrowind.... and he recognized him as Tythis Andromo a House Telvanni slave-owner and banker from Vvardenfell. During a rough interrogation to Tythis, Ras Kalik learnt why the bandits accosted him. The racist Dunmer was providing slaves as soldiers for the Three Banner War. The bandits were trying to negotiate a lucrative ransom for Andromo and the Imperials.... Kalik did not need any of this gold and he could never set Tythis free as he did with the two Imperial soldiers. His past involvement with slavery and war crimes, made Kalik's blood boil. He chose not to execute Tythis, as he figured the worse punishment for this former rich and opulent slave owner, is to now be an imprisoned servant for Ras Kalik and the tribe.

    Herzog Zwei the Genesis a reknown Imperial/Akavirri battle-mage. His roots going back to Akavir through his mother’s bloodline. (His mother is descended from the Akaviri, through Versidue-Shae, and his Imperial father met her in Hakoshae, while traveling) Herzog earned the nickname "the Genesis" from his father as a child, as he was his mother's first born child, and last, as she tragically died in child-birth.

    Herzog was seeking to purchase an artifact from Cinan Tharn, before their capture and was meeting Tyrus while in Rimmen, who introduced him to Cinan. This artifact being the Ayelid artifact; the sword Sinweaver. After their rescue and the exchange of gold to Cinan for the sword he decided to slip away before Ras Kalik could question who he was, and why the Akavir descendant really wanted that sword. Herzog was headed to Nagastani — An Ayleid ruin in eastern Cyrodiil. He had read in scrolls that the Sword would give him magical powers to meet his mothers spirit, if he performed an Ayleid ritual at an old shrine hidden there. Equipped with the artifact sword, he was off to start his own adventure but Ras Kalik, did indeed notice the sword however and instead sent a letter to Jux Blackheart (whom also was interested in Ayleid treasures), to attempt to find Herzog and acquire the sword. (*Azani Blackheart in Elder Scroll's Oblivion is Jux's descendant some 747 years later)

    And so the Redguard, Imperial and Akaviri men parted ways ... While Ras Kalik went off to Elsweyr to encounter the latest threat to Tamriel, with Abnur Tharn and Sai Sahan - - DRAGONS!! Little did Ras Kalik know a few people were awaiting him in Senchal besides Sai. A necromancer survived his attack on the Withered Hand, while in Alik'r. The necromancer known as Auriek Siet'ka is also following him to the land of the Khajiits and Cacique the Sage of Ius a Shaman mystic who has become attuned spiritually with Tu'whacca (a Redguard God) and Ius (the Animal God), after being burned severely by the escaped dragons in Elsywer, is awaiting his arrival also. Aurik is a soldier of the Daggerfall Covenant that was introduced to necromancy while in the military, even though this magicka art is not spoken of openly by most of the Military leaders. He came to Alik'r and worked with the Withered Hand before Ras Kalik intervened on their plans. After the defeat of the Withered Hand, he aligned with the Worm Cult, and is constantly adapting and perfecting his necromantic arts.

    After his journey to Rimmen, Kalik heads south to Senchal, in the southern regions of Elyswer. This new adventure will also put him on a path to meet a strange Redguard man. The stranger which was infected with an untreated Peyrite disease and also was the exiled from the Order of the New Moon cult, due to his sickness. He originally joined the cult to worship Laatvulon, the green dragon, mistakenly thinking it was the Daedric prince Peyrite. This confused and suffering cultist is known as Tsar al-Bomba and he is on a path to spread the disease. He was originally infected in Orccrest while recruiting members there. Can Ras Kalik and the shaman Cacique cure this poor soul, only time will tell. Little does Tsar al-Bomba know, that his infection is tied to Vampirism, and eventually the desire for blood will take over his mind. Senchal also offers Kalik his latest love interest... Aeliah. Whom he fondly led thru battles with the Dragonguard.

    After the trek thru the heat, tropical and desert climate of Northern and Southern Elyswer, Ras Kalik heads north to the cold mountain range of Skyrim. His companion friend Lyris beckons for him with a letter sent by crow...

    Movárth Piquine - a former vampire hunter (now infected), within the Fighter's Guild (and a secretive necromancer) was in Skyrim working with the Morthaal Guard. On a patrol mission he was caught in Frewien's ice curse outside of Morthaal with the frozen undead. Movárth's vampiric infection kept him from becoming an undead minion to the curse. He was able to use necromantic ice-magic to encase himself safely until he was freed with Freiwen, when the Vestige Ras Kalik broke the curse.

    Uri Ice-Heart - brother of Urfon Ice-Heart. The twin sons of Atli and Oljourn Ice-Heart. The Ice-Heart family are originally from Markarth but now reside on the Jerall Mountain range near Cyrodiil, with their younger sister Araki. The twins had joined the Winterborn Reachmen while living in Markarth. Urfon pushed west to Orsinium with the Winterborn Clan, leaving his family behind. Uri stayed behind with his parents and sister to live in the family cabin for safety, avoiding the Vampire plague infiltrating the Reach. After news reaches him and he hears of Urfon's death... Uri leaves and heads home and is seeking vengeance. Meanwhile, his sister has also moved on to Windhelm to join the Fighter's guild. He will visit his sister, once before going to seek vengeance and she will craft him armor mixed with ice, called Stalhrim armor. Uri fearing death, after his brother's passing, falls victim to the convincing talk of Movárth at a Nordic tavern, and will also becomes a vampire.

    Not worth it, lags just as bad on PC

    I wish, I just started an account on PC even though I have over 1100cp on PS4. I haven't gotten far enough to judge lag where it would count so I'm not sure about that but I can tell you on my PC with a NVMe SDD fast travel within a zone is instant and traveling from one zone to another loads in 30 seconds at most compared to 3-5 minutes for either on PS4 Pro.
    The visuals are also way better on PC. Playing at 1440P with everything else set to max and hovering between 60-90 fps on a fairly low end 4GB AMD RX 570 gpu (while impatiently waiting for RTX 3000 cards) and everything is way more crisp than upscaled 4k on PS4. Rocks walls, plants, armor, mounts, visuals from skills, everything has more detail. The lighting quality on PC also blows away the PS4 Pro version.

    3 to 5 minutes? That's extreme and I'm pretty sure it has less to do with the PS4 Pro per se than with your internet connection. I'm on PS4 Pro as well, and even when I get an "unusually long load time" it takes about 30 seconds tops. The normal zoning time (inside a zone) is around 3 seconds for me and between zones it might take 10 to 20 seconds. Maybe you're connected with a cable on PC and use WLAN for PS4? That makes a difference as well. Although I should add that the times I gave before for my load screens were WLAN as well. If I used a cable - which I can't really because of the placement of PS4 and router - it would very likely be faster. So this is probably more of an internet than a console issue.

    Wrong, my internet is crazy fast, with 40MB download. Not to mention when you're zoning between levels you're not doing anything that is using a lot of bandwidth, all the info for world assets is already on the hard drive ready to be rendered.

    Well, then I don't know what it is, but my internet is the same speed as yours and my load times are obviously much faster, so... no idea what it is then, but I doubt it has anything to do with your PS4 - or that most other people on console have load times of 3 to 5 minutes.

    Edit: @ItsJustHashtag I don't know about the new Xbox, but my understanding about the PS5 is that it will be downwards compatible for a whole lot of titles. So likely there will be no transfer necessary, we will just be able to download the game to the PS5 and keep on playing as normal.

    Yeah, I doubt it has anything to do with internet speed as long as you're in the "sufficient" zone. I have 4G LTE internet (significant, because it results in restricted NAT) with an average speed of 10mb down, and I'm on a PS4 Pro, and my load times rarely exceed 30 seconds. I'm also playing with boost mode, supersampling and 1080p enhanced, all of which could theoretically affect performance. I think it has more to do with how many hops you have to make to reach the server, server load at any particular moment, and idiosynchratic things with your particular hardware and setup. For instance, my game data is on an SSD. Maybe that has something to do with faster performance?

    No, you're right, of course, there's a lot of stuff that could factor into it - ping and the availability of an SSD especially, I think (I'm not using an SSD myself, since I don't seem to have much trouble with load times in general... I really wonder why that is, actually). When replying first I was thinking mostly about the difference a cable can make compared to the use of WLAN, but since that doesn't seem to be relevant... well, who knows, could be anything, really. Basically I just wanted to give a counter-example to show that you can also have okay or even good load times on console, but it sure would be interesting to know what the experience of the majority is.

    Well. . . yes, you're right. A wired connection is certainly more stable than a WiFi connection. In my experience, at my old residence, it didn't affect load times, but it did eliminate rubber banding, and alleviated a problem I had with intermittent disconnects (where the WiFi would just drop). But, absolutely, the bottom line is that the "bad performance on console" experience isn't universal! There's a lesson to be taken about life in general, about how people should interrogate their own personal environments before claiming universal truths. :p

    As Taleof2Cities already said, this poll is not only pointless, because there will never be such an option to transfer accounts, it is also biased in the way that it seems to indicate that basically every console user would like the idea of a transfer and the only reason why they ultimately wouldn't go through with it (if it were possible) would be that "it lags just as bad on PC". I can't speak for anybody else of course, but let me assure you that I wouldn't transfer my account from console to PC no matter what. Yes, PC master race and all that, I know that, not trying to say otherwise - but there are certain other reasons why people choose consoles over PCs (and no, most of them actually don't have anything to do with money or lack thereof) and I, for one, will never revert that choice. Been on consoles since the NES and will stay that way :)

    Hey they never said they would do alliance change tokens and now look?

    So you say Zos never said they would do alliance change tokens. Ok. However, Zos did say they "would not build and had no plans to build" the means to transfer between live servers for PC and console. They actually put that into text in multiple places including the Support section of the website. Granted, I am not suggesting Zos will not change their mind but after more than 6 years they have kept consistent with that message.

    Yes, I would gladly pay a fee to transfer

    I'm not sure where you got the idea that performance is noticably better on PC than on consoles, but it seems to have a lot of the same issues, or at least equivalent issues.

    Apparently PC-NA is slightly more reliable than PC-EU, but I seem to remember ZOS saying that's because the population is higher on EU due to more Europeans using PCs than consoles, so if lots of people were to transfer from console to PC it would end up just as bad.

    I play both PC and console and it waaaaaaaaaaaaaay better on PC NA vs Xbox NA. Its night and day, and it shouldnt be that way. You shouldnt have to restart on a new platform if you want to play the game as intended, or closer to "as intended" than the current platform you are on.
