And to add my own top-3:
1) Resources returned are based on weapon type and not highest attribute
2) The need to jump over a tiny step or being unable to climb a small rock (haha)
3) Far too many options for char customisation (skills, sets, etc.), yet some basic options like a 1h+rune or bard class are missing
1. ZOS
2. Lag
3. Sorcs
4. People that put Frozen Gate or Vulcanic rune on flags
5. Lag

1. Low-Drop-Rate RNG grinds. If anything drives me from the game, it will be finally getting fully fed up with these. Motifs, Gear, Collectibles, whatever. The value you place on a person's time is the precise value you place on the person, and expecting us to spend our precious time in living the old joke about the definition of insanity seems incompatible with respecting us.
2. One-shots. I don't just dislike these. I hold them in contempt. They're a crutch; they're simulated challenge; and I don't understand how designers could do anything but hate them, too.
3. The heavy-handed way ZOS tends to operate. All buffs are over-buffs. All nerfs are over-nerfs. Harrowstorms are almost the Platonic Ideal of this methodology, being boringly easy for large and skilled groups and nightmarish for small and unskilled groups.
1. Total mess with the continuity and chronology of the game (introduced by One Tamriel and complicated even further by free prologue quests and the new start of the game with every chapter)
2. Lack of story-mode for dungeons and trials
3. Furnishing cap
4. Endless new skins on the same old mounts and pets

- The squat ESO takes on hybrid play, a TES staple...
- META. As much as people complain about balance, META is literally imbalance. It drives players to all be copied/pasted, instead of encouraging a unique variety of builds.
- Crown Crates.

On a Breton sorc it's annoying changing CP between trials, changing gear, morphs and attributes for a different role or PVP, etc. And that's on a character that can heal, PVP and DPS with the same race. I changed a magnecro to stam but I don't know what race to change her to bc I know whatever I choose won't be as good for PvP or PvE.
In FFXIV you switch classes (therefore roles) by equipping a different weapon and gear. Three or four clicks.
2) Outsourcing basic game features like minimaps and inventory search to add-on developers.
3) Buggy as hell.
