Make all wayshrines behave like Cyrodiil shrines

I'm at a wayshrine, which I engage with. I select a wayshrine where I want to be. I get a menu of 3 to 7 things I could do, mostly "set destination". I choose to go to the wayshrine, and then I get asked if I'm sure... Who dreamed this up? Why can't we just click and go? What's the worst that could happen - we have to port back?! It's like being asked if I'm sure I want to log out, when that's what I SAID I wanted to do. Maybe there's an addon that makes wayshrines just WORK?

    I think the housing should be minimized on the map at the wayshrine for simplicity.

    If I travel to my house it’s usually when I’m not at a wayshrine.

    I'm at a door because I've selected run forward up to that door. Why do I need to click 'open door'.

    Not the same situation or context.

    Because there is a cost associated with it I guess. NVM you are at shrine

    "Who dreamed this up? Why can't we just click and go? What's the worst that could happen"

    Totally the same problem. Annoying extra clicks for no reason. Extra click-ometry

    It sounds like you're describing a scenario where you're trying to port to a city or other small area on the map that has multiple options when you're zoomed out. If you zoom in some more and target your click on the icon you want, you will only get the wayshrine as the option, which gets rid of the menu.

    Though if porting to your house, you'd still get the menu, but that helps out folks who are using their houses for quick porting. Before, you had to always port inside and then exit house, so it was a whole extra loading screen whereas now it's just an extra click.

    The confirmation of "are you sure you want to port" helps avoid scenarios where you accidentally click on a random wayshrine off the map, as it can then cost some in-game gold, or if you're in an instanced area, have you lose your progress if the port happens straight away.

    Agreed though that when porting from wayshrine to wayshrine, the final confirmation popup feels generally unnecessary.

    At various points an in-game movie will start playing.
    I press a key to interrupt it.

    I then get a message "press any key to skip".

    My problem with wayshrines is that some of them you can just click the exterior that houses it; other time you have to go in and click the actual shrine itself.

    Game over, man
