Because they hoped their community read it.

Didn't want those people who ping every ZOS employee they can think of to learn of more forum accounts to ping.

Pevey · September 16

Because they didn't want to accidentally violate their own TOS and get auto banned by the AI.

Bold of you to think the others have forum accounts... or even know ESO has a forum.

One of the developers has already been banned from the ESO forums and can't post here.

Overtime for the forum mods wasn't in the budget.

Northwold · September 16

Because they wanted it to reach their user base rather than a tiny subset of players who have gone through the hoops to join the forums.

The devs love upvotes and karma.

Headphones are louder on the forums and no players with real accounts allowed.

Does anyone have a link, cause I am actually having a hard time finding it.

We chose Reddit because the layout and upvoting make it easier for the team to find and address relevant questions in an AMA format. Reddit also does a better job of keeping conversation threads together. We have tried to find a ways to replicate that here on the forum, but it isn't built for that.

I know this was a fun thread, but I thought I would provide an answer incase anyone was wondering.

And do you have a link so we can find it?

Punches_Below_Belt · September 16

And yet seven “leaders” still managed to avoid the most upvoted, relevant questions. R U sure it wasn’t so they could find the questions they were willing to answer?

Maybe next time do something less convenient for ZOS and more convenient for the player base you were trying to address.

You can find the link here. We also posted it here on the forum before the AMA happened, so folks could go over and ask questions.

Thank you. Sadly I didn't even get to hear about it, but happy to check it out.

Lysorris · September 16

Because they were worried having more than 10 people on the forums at once might crash the server.

One of the dev might got negative karma after this one 🤕#consumablesgate

If only they had access to some computer developers. That is a joke. Do not pull people to reinvent the forums the way you are wasting resources on Vengeance PVP campaigns navel gazing.

Mods plz ban for off-topic, thread is clearly titled "wrong answers only"
But more seriously, it would be great if the Reddit AMA replies were collated into some sort of "AMA Roundup" news post to make it more accessible for people who don't want to dig through the thread.

How is it that even those of us that have advertising and announcements enabled on our accounts didn't get an email notification this was happening? Was there an announcement on this forum about this reddit discussion?

TheRimOfTheSky · September 16

Because this is how 99.9% of people view the forums

Yes there was an announcement on the forums about it. It was pinned and everything.

ZOS didn't develop the forum, nor do they maintain it. They pay the forum software vendor Vanilla to do that.
Which is why it is so limited, because Vanilla ain't great.

There was but I can see how it was missed because there's too many stickies atm IMO. Makes it hard to keep track.

This is true, I’m one of the ones who missed it, and I normally catch things like this.
