Cannot join or create a group if Xbox privacy and communication is set to "Friends Only"

If the Xbox communication preferences setting is set to "friends only" you cannot join or form a party with friends while playing ESO. The setting must be changed to "all", which means that anyone can send you a message or an invite, which is not something that is preferred by all players. No other game has this issue and I can freely play with friends regardless of the privacy settings. Players should not be forced to have open communications with randoms if they choose not to. This is a known issue, but ZOS has not acknowledged if there is a fix in the works and I would like to know if it will be fixed. I submitted a ticket, but did not get an response.

Thank you.

    #3 is an issue for PS5 (running PS4 version not enhanced version) but works fine for PS4. I think it might affect woodworking stations as well but will have to check. This is repeatable for me.

    #4 is a rare issue, I made an in-game ticket about it a day ago. I have a style applied to my inferno staff so I can keep track of which staff I have equipped, and very rarely after a loading screen both staves have that style and look identical, except for the way they are held (inferno staff angled down and resto staff with butt end on ground).

    #5 I have a workaround but should be fixed because it is a bug. Make sure to have front bar weapon equipped before a loading screen and this bug will not happen. Back bar weapon equipped will glitch it.

    #3 happens all the time for me on Xbox Series X.

    #4 this is annoying since you do not know if your front bar or back bar is equipped.

    #5 I will try keeping the primary equipped before traveling and see if I notice a differnce.

    Thanks for the information.

    I love how ZOS is so fast to move a topic, but never actually respond or offer any help.
