What are popular things in game that you don’t care about?

I’m curious what are some popular things in game that everyone seems to love but you just don’t care.
For me it’s ESO’s housing system. I have absolutely no interest. I’m happy for people who like it and enjoy creating a unique home it just doesn’t interest me at all.

✭✭✭✭✭PvP. "Endgame". Group content. Dolmens, dragons, harrowstorms. Love questing, exploring, crafting, antiquities, housing. Though the housing remains not nearly so good as RIFT's was.8 -

✭✭✭Mounts, emotes, non-combat pets, etc, especially going out of my way to collect them.
All of my characters use the same mount and none use non-combat pets or emotes or anything6 -

✭Gonna be housing for me too. I own some houses, have tried to furnish them, but...I just can't get into it. It would probably have more value to me if I role-played with others, but I only role-play with the game itself (my characters have backstories and personalities that dictate the quests they do and decisions they make), so other than emoting on furniture for screenshots I just don't get anything out of housing. I understand the draw for others though, and have seen some truly incredible creations.
Also achievements simply for the sake of achievements. If there's a cool title or dye or skin or something, I understand that because I love unlocking those myself when they're within my capability to attain. But achievements that have no tangible reward except achievement points? Don't care. I get why others would chase them, but they mean nothing to me.PC NA, CP2000+Character creation is the true endgame.4 -

✭✭I don't know if this counts as "popular", but fishing.
I just cannot bring myself to care about in game fishing, despite being someone who generally tries to get as many achievements as possible.18 -

✭✭✭✭✭PvP and especially battlegrounds, it's just not something which interests me at all.
I don't know whether to include trials or not. I like the idea of them but the fact that it really needs a regular group and therefore a fixed time to do them makes them totally impractical for me.
Also, much smaller thing but I don't see the appeal of character skins. It would be very rare that I'd want one of my characters to look like lava or stone or whatever it is they change you into, it's something I would use very rarely if at all, but they seem to work as big rewards for some of the most difficult content, rarest drops etc. which implies that other people really like them and will go out of their way to get it. I'm not saying they're wrong to do that, but I don't see the appeal and I'm surprised it works.PC EU player | She/her/hers | PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!

✭✭Skins. I think they make your character look awful and I don’t get why so many people use them. Having said that I’ve now collected most of them which I will never use.15 -

✭- Meta
- Practicing on training dummies
- Studying material to learn how to run content before i even stepped foot in it( This takes away from exploration and figuring things out yourself)
- Chasing leaderboards
- HM

LadyDestiny✭✭✭✭✭Battlegrounds. I enjoyed cyrodiil some time back, but didn't play this past year. Now my gear is bleh and with the new changes coming going to stay out of pvp altogether for awhile anyway.1 -

✭✭Skins. They're horrible. I don't get the appeal.✨🐦✨ Blackfeather Court Commission ✨🐦✨11 -
Mojmir✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭RP, housing, emotes and mementos, personalities, crownstore pets. Cringy zone chat.1 -
Viewsfrom6ix✭✭✭✭✭Basically anything related to aesthetics (eg. pets, mounts, housing) and not related to combat.0 -
DarcyMardin✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭First thing that comes to mind are the skins — I don’t get the appeal of those bizarre looks.11 -
Ashryn✭✭✭✭✭Group Dungeons & Trials in their current mode. I'd probably love them if there was a story-mode. I have no problem doing them when I need a specific armor, but I don't enjoy the slash and rush atmosphere were I cannot enjoy the artistic scenery or the story.
Skins & tattoos. I might be interested in a skin if it makes you look like a sea-mer or another interesting transformation that was more subtle then the ugly ones available now. Hint at an exotic look! Don't cover my face or obliterate who I am!Edited by Ashryn on February 3, 2021 4:08PM5 -

They may be fun but I just don't wanna go through the hassle of grouping for them even though I really want that boat for beating veteran Kyne's Aegis.PC NA - Ceyanna Ashton - Breton Vampire MagDK6 -

✭✭✭✭✭Nope: PvP (or any competition really - leaderboards, DPS dummies, etc), Skins, fancy mounts, endgame/dungeons/trials
Yep: Exploring, questing, crafting, costumes & outfits, housing8 -
worrallj✭✭✭✭✭events & event tickets. I think people are being ridiculous trying to farm 8 different skins of indriks.8 -

✭- ]Meta builds and build guides - Sure, I get their usefulness for harder content like endgame and pvp, but I literally have zero interest in playing someone elses character. Full disclaimer:I have referred to a build/stratgey guide for PvP, but I felt dirty afterwards, and it didn't help anyway because I'm a talentless potato.
- PvP. I've tried, I failed, I'm at peace with it.
- Speed runs
- Being a healer. Sorry, I'm a tank main who's dabbled in a DD character, but I just can't bring myself to be a healer.
- Staves. Hate them. I don't think I've ever used one since the game started.
- Flying pets, whether from skills or cosmetics. Just, no.
- Werewolves.
- Farming. For anything. All my gains are 100% organic.
- Leaderboards.
