✭✭I agree with the OP. I am not an adventurer. Most days I just log in and sit outside and watch people wander by. Then log out after 7 or 8 hours.6 -

✭I'd rather they stick to adventurer.
I would like to see at some point a class that is more generic and if they burn all of the terms or variants for referring to the player they won't have anything to call said future class.1 -
Cazador✭✭✭✭✭Personally I like being called adventurer or mercenary. They're pretty accurate catch all terms for the sort of work my character typically does.1 -

✭✭✭✭✭I think adventurer is about the best catch-all term they could use, personally

✭✭✭✭✭I'll take Adventurer over Mercenary any day, any time.
It makes my teeth itch when provincials address the Vestige from Coldharbor, the Five-Clawed Moon Hallowed, the King's Arrow, the Savior of the Covenant, the Champion of Vivec, the Hero of Wrothgar, the Savior of Summerset, the Root Whisper Redeemer, the Champion of Anequina and Hero of the Dragonguard, the Savior of Solitude, and the Guardian of the Reach as "mercenary." It's downright dismissive.Edited by MasterSpatula on April 4, 2023 7:13PM"A probable impossibility is preferable to an improbable possibility." - Aristotle6 -

Adventurer works fine for me, it's an accurate enough description for what we do in a game like ESO.
I prefer adventurer to "soldier." I think its Stonefalls where they constantly use soldier. It always annoys me - my character is trotting around in sparkly clothes and helping them out, not being a subordinate to be ordered around.2 -

✭✭But we generally take part in adventures and that is what defines an adventurer... The term is supposed to be a catch-all that doesn't say much because it's almost impossible to define such a wide variery of players with a single word.
I also like the term "mercenary", for my character doesn't help the NPCs out of the kindness of his heart, but because he wants shiny motifs! However, that term isn't as broad or generic as adventurer. I wouldn't mind being called "George Clooney lookalike", though.Imperial DK and Necro tank. PC/NA

LuC1ll3atTh3Wh33L✭✭✭✭can we be called wonderpets instead??
You've had nature explained to you and you're bored with it, you've had the living body explained to you and you're bored with it, you've had the universe explained to you and you're bored with it, so now you want cheap thrills and, like, plenty of them....

SatanicSister✭✭✭✭Tbh I rather been called an adventurer than a comrade (like in Leyawiin for example while doing crafting dailies)
Yeah, I'd have to agree. Being called comrade by Fighters Guild members gives a sort of Red Army feeling to me. Since I'm from a former Soviet Union country, it is not a good feeling.There is life after death, be patient and you will see.6 -

✭✭✭I enjoyed many adventure games growing up (love Monkey Island!) and as a result I enjoy being called adventurer in ESO, even though technically it is a different genre.

It's not - especially since I'm not male.______________________________________________________

That was probably a Redguard NPC, they tend to address strangers as "wayfarer", just like many Dunmer address people as "outlander".3 -

Had to look up the exact meaning of wayfarer, and apparently it's someone who travels on foot. I love my mounts, thank you very much.0
