    Actually it's not. There is a condition called polycystic ovary syndrome that can cause hirsutism (excessive hair growth) in women. Some of these women can grow beards.

    PVP. I'm a healer main, there's nothing fun about being a PvP healer in this game. Nothing.

    Crafting Bag hidden behind a paywall


    Putting PvE items in PvP zones (I'm looking at you Mythic leads!)

    No unified Auction house. You have to devote the majority of your guild memberships to Trading guilds just to sell items and even then, it's very hit and miss depending where you get your seller.

    The majority of the 'fun' stuff in the game (pets, mounts, costumes etc) hidden behind paywalls.


    The current housing furnishing limit (ESPECIALLY if you don't have a EOS+ sub!)

    Forcing DLC Dungeons for Random Dailies. I HATE your DLC dungeons ZOS! They are so embedded in mechanics, they're PUG killers and just frustrating to run outside of organised groups.

    Using the same few combat abilities I was using back in 2014.

    PVP performance steadily degrading.

    Visuals (characters , equipment) starting to look dated.

    New questlines aren't super engaging.

    DLCs not really pushing the envelope; feeling of stagnation.

    Beards that you purchase from the Crown Store aren’t grown - they’re worn, like hats or dresses. I would like my female characters to wear fake beards and speak in deep voices so they can go to the stoning.

    Same than already posted in other threads. Main ones for me are "little" but always there, so a real bother:
    - That it's PvP for nodes/trees/plants & chests farming, even for some quests.
    - Jumping not tuned.
    - Swimming so slow.
    - The long loading time to travel to a home + long loading generally for nearly everything in game.

    I hate how expensive putting together a build is and then finding out it's actually not that great. Last build cost me over 4mil gold. I'm not a rich guy, so that is A LOT of money. The prices of jewellery mats are absurd right now.
    I find it a little hard to make money as a pvper. The only thing that sells well is VD items and I'd rather not sell them to the enemy for obvious reasons lul. So generally I have to buy and sell crowns. Don't get me wrong, it's lucrative of course, but I'd still like a better way to earn gold in pvp.

    Another thing I hate is being forced to play alternate characters for transmute stones. You shouldn't be shafted for enjoying a particular character.

    Ahh, I forgot about the housing limit! I actually loved the concept of housing, even though it was a huge money sink, but the item limit stopped me from going crazy. It was fun for a while but what can ya do? Move onto other single player housing games with no limit, that's what! I think I also liked the idea of other players being able to see my house, but then I realized no one ever actually did. So I might as well do a much cheaper, more flexible alternative at that point. No regrets here!!

    Greetings all!

    After removing a handful of posts for getting off topic, as well as Baiting, we would like to remind everyone that all posts are to be kept civil, constructive, on topic, and within the Community Guidelines. Baiting is a violation of those guidelines and is stated as follows:
    • Trolling or Baiting: The act of trolling is defined as something that is created for the intent to provoke conflict, shock others, or to elicit a strong negative or emotional reaction. It’s okay and very normal to disagree with others, and even to debate, but provoking conflict, baiting, inciting, mocking, etc. is never acceptable in the official The Elder Scrolls Online community. If you do not have something constructive or meaningful to add to a discussion, we strongly recommend you refrain from posting in that thread, and find another discussion to participate in instead. It is also not constructive or helpful to publicly call out others and accuse them of trolling, or call them a troll—please refrain from doing so. If you genuinely believe someone is trolling, please report the post or thread to the ESO Team, and leave it at that.
    If there may be any questions in regards to the rules, please take a few moments to review them here.

    Thank you for your understanding,
    -Greg-

    Do devs even interact with their own playerbase apart from comments like this? I've seen bigger corporations and studios converse with their players.

    I'll agree with that. 4am is actually a perfect time, because even people working night shift (like I generally do myself) can usually fire it up and play for a bit when they get home.
    Let's look at WoW as a comparison. Every maintenance they do on EU is done at 3am and finishes at 4am. When I had a problem I created a support ticket, and an hour later a GM actually messaged me in game and sorted out my query there and then. They really make you feel like a valued customer.

    Don’t like...
    1. Only being able to train mounts once a day from the stable master.
    2. Stage 1 vampires not looking more normal and vampire passive drawbacks.
    3. Inventory limits. It’s time they were increased.
    4. Getting dismounted in water.
    5. Not being able to hide shoulders and hip flaps.
    6. Jumping physics, or whatever you want to call it.
    7. NPCs that nag you to pick up their quest.
    8. Enemies that follow you forever until you try to attack them so they’ll reset and go away. They shouldn’t be able to attack me and keep me in combat if it’s time they reset.
    9. Permanent combat bug.
    10. Items that don’t stack.
    11. Quest NPCs that talk way too much. Get to the point.
    12. Some crown store costs.
    13. Achievements that aren’t account-wide. (All of them?)
    14. Animation canceling needing to be done well to be a part of the more difficult end-game content.
    15. Lack of NPC AI. NPCs not freaking out about finding a dead body I recently blade-of-woe’d, or realizing their pockets are empty and reacting, etc.
    16. Current champion point system. Only 4 active slots for each tree? Ugh. I liked the old system more.
    17. The world feels empty. There should be more NPCs, especially in big cities. Finding them out in the wild would be fun.
    18. The current limit for character slots.
    19. Not being able to buy crowns with gold directly from the crown store.
    20. Lack of an in-game calendar of sorts where devs could post upcoming event info, maintenance announcements, polls, what they want us to specifically give feedback on, etc.

    It will be faster to list what i don't like so let's start with a long af rant.

    - The lack of variety during character creation such as hair, marks, scars, and like someone already mentioned something to compare the height of the character. Oh and the fact that changing a character's appearance, race or anything is crown store only and quite expensive if you only want to change one or two things.

    - Having chapter quest stories chopped in chunks, thus if you only buy a chapter you won't be able to complete the story at all without paying even more. Quite alienating for those of us who can't afford to spend even a few dollars a month on gaming, specially painful when the currency of your country is so weak against american dollars.

    - Mount upgrades only once a day and limited a single one. New players and those who don't have subscription for craft bag and extra space would really be benefited from it. I really don't know how i was able to bear months with such a slow monture and a bag always about to explode.

    - Related to above, inventory and back space being limited and expensive to upgrade after awhile, and the so usefull crafting bag being exclusive for plus users. Again i don't know i can stand to log in and out of my current 7 characters so many times a day just to retrieve one single thing from the bank and spread all my stuff among them.

    - Non plus furnishing limit. With it a house or inn room will look so barren and lifeless, and only with the past trial i was able to get my current 2 housing projects to look like there's actual people living there and give a little touch of the owners personalities to their places. It feels a bit punishing to be forced to pay for plus only to have a decent looking house, you know?

    - A lack of an option to go trough quest lines again, maybe something like a ng+ mode with harder difficulty. I always role play when questing and some times i'd like to go trough some moments with a certain character again, would be specially useful for those of us who also write fanfiction lol.

    - Lack of more weapon options for magicka builds like idk, actual bound weaons like in the previous TES games?. Staves are so boring and it's the only thing mag characters can use if they want to be competent for groups and the hardest content. And viceversa the stamina morph skills of some classes are not as good imho than their magicka counterparts, such is my dilema with my magblade cause i love the magicka skills but despise using a staff.

    - Yet another lack of, this time of available dialog responses to role play a more uh, shy, silent or little speaking character. My solution is just to pretend another one of my chars is also there and is the one who speaks lol.

    - How painful is to grind in order to max the antiquity and excavation skill lines. I only did it once with my main and i don't want to submit myself to that torture ever again.

    - So few housing options of different sizes. I'd love a 300k something classic home in Summerset, Elsweyr and Western Skyrim and smaller ones as well.

    - How everything in the base game, from buildings to armor. feels repetitive and lacking detail and quality compared to what's in the chapter zones.

    The only thing I truly hate in this game is the horrible performance of PC-EU server for my region, and the fact that it keeps degrading over the years. 2 years ago it was much better, 4 years ago it was excellent (that's when I joined the game). There's nothing I can do to mitigate this, well aside from paying for a VPN which I'm already doing. Sometimes it feels like a lost cause to keep spending time and money on this game as eventually it will be literally unplayable from my region.
    PC-NA works much better now in comparison, unfortunately there's no account transfer options.

    I dislike that as a female character I can't decide if I want to wear trousers for certain costumes and must wear a dress, such as the bakers costume. Similarly that we are given things like beards but again they can't be used by female characters. If we can have male orcs in wedding dresses we can have female bakers in trousers.

    I think in general making the characters non binary would be pretty inclusive generally, then it would be up to the player if they want to give more female traits, male body shape and so on

    I love the landscapes, and often just run around farming materials enjoying the scenery

    I hate and dislike….
    Crown Store- The fact that the most cool looking armors, mounts, and trinkets are locked behind a gambling pay wall instead of in game is frustrating. The “new endeavor” system is not a realistic way to get anything meaningful in a timely manner.

    Vampire Skills- The fact npc vampires have cooler looking animations and powers then we do is just sad. Not to mention our mediocre looking ultimate compared to the Vampire Lord form.
    -The cost of non vampire skills at stage 4 is too high in my opinion.
    - No option to properly play a stage 4 stamina vampire.

    Werewolves- Mostly the appearance bothers me. It’s been the same skin as far back as I can remember. I’m not asking for Behemoth skin, but something updated.

    Necromancers- Lack of any real pets. We currently have glorified dots posing as summons. Most notably the lack of any melee skeleton or zombie. And we can’t even summon a zombie for goodness sake.
    -We currently don’t have any curse or true dot to speak of. These tethers we have are not what I’d call something you’d see in the lore.
    - No true ultimate summon. I wanted to summon a mini or decent size flesh atronach that followed me around for 40 secs smashing things and spewing poison vomit.

    Sorcerer Pets- I hate that we can’t summon other pets. My sorcerer would love to summon a fire or ice atronach. Or even a dremora lord. Something other than the 3 basic summons we’ve been stuck with for years.

    No Evil Option in dialogue- Most of my characters are evil. Why don’t we have evil choices in dialogue. I’m not asking for anything major, but the option to be rude would at least give me a sense of being evil. Or being able to threaten for bigger rewards.

    It's an hormonal disorder, so why you would allow that but not make for example a character with other issues like trisomy?

    Waiting. I do not mind grinding for items, but what I do mind is the waiting associated with the grind.

    For example:
    - sitting in a delve boss spawn point just waiting for the boss to spawn so you get to roll the dice on the thing you grind
    - sitting in dungeon finder queue waiting for a group just to be able to grind for some dungeon gear.

    Something like mat farming is enjoyable, since there's no waiting - you get to do the activity (the grind) you want constantly.

    Lack of additional ability slots/bars
    No /follow
    No macros
    Inability to alter in game sounds (you could do it in WoW if you knew how.) E.g. making explosions more beefy, etc.. In WoW I made the flying roflcopter sound like a blackhawk helicopter and the T-rex sound like the one from Jurassic Park.
    No mammoth mount
    Housing item limitations
    Lack of ability for wardens to "tame" world animals as combat pets. I love my bear and all, but I can think of some other animals I would like to have as a pet. (Yes, I know this isn't WoW.)
    Lack of Dwarven engineering as a profession
    Maintenance

    If I think of more I will add later.

    I hate when Ivory brigand guards captain tells you at the end of the storyline: "Still cannot get you into joining our ranks? eh too bad, you are an adventurer I see." Without me being able to say yes and do the daily grind, (which is there already anyway with achievements and resources/random drop as the only reward), as member of their group, getting some furnishing and the title as reward (if they don't want to give me their amour). I could roleplay an some alts that way and feel part of the world. But the only thing I could say now is yeah that was a nice bunch of stories... and never come back, only when forced by grind.
    EDIT: I just discovered they did that for Ashlanders already - I wonder if it was successful.

    I love the game but I hate that maintenance always impacts my prime playtime. Eg right now. Would have been fine if it hadn't been extended but since it has been, I can't play at all until maybe tomorrow morning for maybe 20min if I'm lucky.
    I wish they would have it at a different time every month - even an hour or two later.

    I can accept almost everything except for the problems especially in Cyrodiil such as lag, stutters, rubber banding, desynch, skills not firing etc. Imo, this should be the top priority and they way these things are an insult to the player base in a sense.
