Suggestion/Beg Could we get extra slot or 6 on the quick slot wheel - for new assistant/companions

I've found myself out of slots for a while now.
Between the scryingtool/merchant/banker/buffs/fence/armourer/tank companion/DDcompanion. Now with the new two companions & deconstructor assistant it will be even harder
So
Would you like the quickslot wheel to have some extra slots?

EDITED To add - lots of people in this thread saying we should have quick slot profiles as well. I agree we need both. But especially for people who PvP as well as PvE (apologies for forgetting you)

    Someone frugal or who likes to play devil's advocate would be the converse and say, "There needs to be no change! The limited quick slot wheel helps me IRL and in Tamriel because it constantly reminds me to hold everything dear to me in both lives. I enjoy the lack of accessibility in my quick slot wheel. If there were so many options in life, you just wouldn't be able to enjoy it and would instead take it for granted. The limited quick slot allows me to be more careful with what I pick because I only pick the most necessary of items and companions to have. ESO is about strategy, and you need to be able to strategize your quick slots. Having too many quick slots would give people in PvP an upper hand because then they'll be able to have access to so many potions. This would make Imperial City, the less populated zone, even less fun to play! Much like real life, you cannot just pull out a potion while also quickly mounting on a horse and interacting with your banker."

    But I quickly counter that with, "Ease of access really helps players spend less time messing with items and more time playing content that the game was intended to play. It is great to have so many companions or assistants because it helps make your game flow better. The better the flow, the better the journey."

    There simply is no counter-argument against ease of access.
    I don't think a new quickslot would be added in terms of having to rewrite thumbstick angles to make it work...
    But we could have the allies and tools tab outside of the collections menu and into the root pause menu just near the inventory and character items. Make it a lot faster to get into those menus instead of having to go into collections.
    Either way, I'm all for any sort of ease of access to important tools and allies.

    At the very least if we could use both the quickslot wheel and emote whell as we see fit it would be a nice start
    If we want16 emote we could fit it in the 2 wheels and reverse would also allow for 16 quick slot between the 2 wheels

    I definitely would like to see something done about this; either the idea in the poll or another solution.

    For example, I think it would be nice if we could upgrade the assistance of our choice to add functionality, so we can use our favorite one for banker/merchant/deconstructing, instead of needing a quick slot for each function.
    My #1 wish for ESO Today: Decouple achievements from character progress and tracking.

    You can have two wheels with console UI, and you can have subtitles that don't get blocked by synergies, and even queue for random normal and veteran dungeons at the same time ;)

    I had problems with too low amount of quickslots long before we got Companions system :'( Most of all in Cyrodiil, there are far too little slots to have enough different sieges and repair kits.

    In PvE, I don't even have companion on my quickslot wheel, cause there is not enough space for more important stuff there.

    Right, kinda like how Fallout 76 does it with its emote wheel.
    You equip emotes from the store, and then you can toggle the emote wheel, and based on the emote category, you can expand a sub menu that surrounds the wheel (a fragment of an outer wheel), and select that emote.
    Then the emote gets shortcut to be the default version in the category, until you expand it and select a different emote.
    Maybe something like that for ESO would be cool as well

    Yes, I absolutely dislike having to rework my quickslots every time I move a character from Cyrodiil to PvE, and vice versa. In Cyro I slot meatbag, ballista, special siege (coldfire, lancer, etc), oils, door repair kit, wall repair kit, siege repair kit, and potion. And I would love to have more slots for forward camps, other siege types, multiple potions, etc.

    If I take that toon to PvE, literally none of my slots work, since I use a different potion outside of PvP. I have to reslot companion, merchant, banker, mementos, potions, and so forth. At the very least, give us a hotkey cluster swap key, similar to bar swap key.

    Need a QoL update so that you can have a different set of quickslots for Cyrodiil and the rest of the game...

    The way Warframe does it, with a spiral instead of a wheel is pretty good. This lets you have as many quickslots as you like.

    That would be hell to pick the one you want with a controller.

    You can change what you have on quick slots for PVE -> PVP using the Armourer. That's what I do.
    BUT you are right, there aren't enough slots especially with Merchant, Banker, Armourer and now Deconstructer.
    I think they could fit 8 slots without making it too fiddly to select with a controller.

    Assuming you use a different build - armour, cp etc when you swap between pvp and pve the armory also saves your quickslot preferences so you could swap over using it
