    I would appreciate if you could please provide a way to "turn off" the automatic pinning of the Golden Pursuit tasks.

    Just turn off auto-pinning full stop.

    No matter if it's my first character or 20th, the auto-pin is worthless because it's never going to actually pin what I actually care to track.

    Also consider turning off pining of tasks already completed. It's a bit silly you know to automaticaly track something that's been completed.

    Ah, is that what's happening? I thought I did it somehow. I agree that it isn't helpful and I would turn it off if I could.

    I'd appreciate if it'd at least autopin tasks I haven't done yet, and stop autopinning tasks altogether when I'm finished with the reward track. Really annoying!

    Agreed. This auto-pinning, especially on each character, has so far soured me from the outset on each Golden Persuit.

    If you haven't seen, someone came up with an addon for this. Also Jessica acknowledged this. You can find that addon/script as well as Jessica's response over in this thread.

    You can put the pushpin on one of the Golden Pursuits but it does absolutely nothing. It does not show up in the Quest Tracker. I have to keep pushing the Options button and going to GP to see my progress constantly.

    I for one, like pinning tasks, however;

    Make it opt-in.
    Let me track multiple tasks.
    Once it is complete, remove it from the task list
    Add it to Endeavours and other quests such as daily guild quests and undaunted.

    But most importantly, and I can't stress this enough, make it OPT IN.

    Please don't make me download another addon.

    There's no reason for Golden Pursuits to be rammed down our throats.

    Please give us an in-game option to keep golden pursuits in the background. I won't ever want to see any golden pursuit prompts or notifications. I know what golden pursuits are, I am capable of opting in if I want to.

    It's really a step too far to add a kind of "master quest" to the game that players don't agree to accept and can't opt out of.

    So, an "officially" recommended/sanctioned add-on to solve an issue that's been brought up since the inception of Golden Pursuits? You mean the add-ons that are blamed for nearly every game issue experience by players when they report them? Thanks, but no thanks

    Yes, this is a PS issue and always has been. Plus, I find it a little offensive to suggest using an add-on to fix a problem ZOS created rather than fix themselves. Plus, not everyone can use add-ons yet.

    Stay safe :)

    Interesting that it works on Xbox but not PS. Bugs are usually consistent across both so I assumed so in this case.

    I really would like to be able to track this because I typically set out specifically to complete certain tasks rather than let them accumulate in the background, lest I forget about them.

    EDIT: Oops, nevermind. I hadn't looked at that add-on thread yet; that seems to address the issue.

      Ideally I don't want any pins set for the pursuit activities unless I've actually pinned them. Because often specific characters are best suited to tasks like stealing or obviously the vampire one.

      I'd also like the option to pin multiple items, as I often do several simultaneously, so it can be helpful to track multiples as I'm going to ensure I've done everything.

      Just had one of those "ESO is a bit like having a job" moments when I typed that :D
