"Make a Game Launcher with character Selector drop down and server select. No one cares about fancy cinematic [snip] they just want get in and to play the game."

So nothing to look at as the game loads as compared to now.

also quik keys for each guild tab would help alot.

Presuming you are on PC, you can press 1-5 whilst on the guild screen to switch between guilds.

Fix glitches. Theres glitches from 2017 that havent been fixed yet.

I would like a clear and precise message or even a 'video log' of the current/future updates to the server and it's re-architecture. I think that would be interesting to watch for all and would benefit the company.

You can turn off all the annoying logos on PC, it's buried in the saved configuration but not touchable from the in game UI. I guess they turn it off internally so they can test faster 8)

-Make a Game Launcher with character Selector drop down and server select. No one cares about fancy cinematic [Snip] they just want get in and to play the game. if its that important, put in a small window on the launcher itself.

There are many threads requesting an enhanced version of the character selection screen, but no where in any of them did I ever see anyone requesting a butchered version of log-in that takes away yet MORE atmosphere from the game.

These threads have included anything from requests for the ability to select backgrounds from the past backgrounds we have had, to the ability to pose characters and choose the time of day/lighting displayed on the selection screen of each character.

Many who play ESO with the exception of a select few care about fancy cinematics, as they are interesting to look at during log in, add to individual character identity, and provide an atmosphere that makes one feel excited to play the game. People enjoy looking at the characters they have designed on the log in screen.

To be honest...drop down menus like the ones you're requesting might be utilitarian, but in my experience are a hallmark of cheap and lazy design that make the game feel uncared for. They're boring, require minimum effort from the developer, and provide no memorable visuals for the player.

Lets not encourage ZOS to strip this game down any further, please.

To OP. The UI (and addons) are the result of players wanting the UI to be more like a typical TES game. The addons is to allow us, on PC, to have a more common type of MMORPG UI.

That’s not going to change wholesale.

EQ2 handles this well. If you want to launch through the character selection screen you can, but there's a drop-down character list for those who prefer to log straight into the game. As always, these things should be about offering options and maximising choice.

I do agree with you in that respect, but my fear these days is that the company will go with one extreme or another without providing options when they hear feedback. If both were offered, I wouldn't be against it, so long as we still have our traditional log in.

I guess my impression of it seeming like bad design comes from seeing it on the launchers of those cash-grabby mmos that eventually shut down. They don't utilize it as well as EQ2 because the character select on those games looks really unloved, so my initial reaction was "ack noooo". I do agree that EQ2 did a good job with it.
