Hmm
1. Crown Crates and related loot box mentality
2. Crowns store purchases should be for both geographies
3. Culture of customer disrespect at studio (communication, customer service, social bans, etc)
4. Stamina class skills are an afterthought
5. Game UI still lacks many QoL improvements
6. Character has to jump to clear minor obstacles
7. Random Number Generator is a sadistic psychopathredgreensunset wrote: »Players who say "this could easily be implemented" when they have no idea about the coding issues possibly involved.
Wait, we could have included the forum and forum dwellers in this list?

I know that's an MMO issue and not an ESO specific issue, but ESO is the game that I'm playing, and I absolutely cannot stand when people think they can dictate how I set up and play my own characters, or tell me I have to play with certain add ons or whatever. The fastest way to ensure i never use something is to tell me its a "meta" that I *need* to run. While it might be a larger MMO issue, the design of this game fully enables, encourages, and builds around it.

I want to say skill delay and skills not even activating is #1 for me. Same goes for bar swapping and potion drinking being screwy. I managed to drink a potion in combat last night and watched my health bar move exactly NONE.
But the META and things surrounding it do take some fun out of the game. No, no one should ever tell you that you're playing a class or a race wrong. That's extremely offensive and elitist. As long as you can be effective, it's not "wrong". If the META makes other builds look that much weaker, that's a problem with the META, not the person playing the way they want to play. Players are competitive - I get that - there is pressure to play a certain way in both PVP and PVE. I know some streamers have insisted that we can/should play off-meta builds and I try to do that (I have an Altmer hybrid). That's what they should be doing. Not talking down to people who don't play the META.
As for the META - there's a massive gap between what a meta build can achieve and what an off-meta build can achieve. I can accept there is a difference at all but I do think the gap is too big because the ceiling is so high for META builds. That comes down to the insane power of certain armor combinations. It's impossible to predict all the possible combinations and how they can become overpowering. But word gets out and many people start using those combinations. If you don't use those combinations, you get steamrolled. And that can take some of the fun out of PVP, especially when META players are toxic towards non-META players with their comments in chat (teammates saying you "suck") and things like tea-bagging. It's just a frustrating part of playing competitive games.
