The Elder Scrolls Online didn't quite live up to our hopes, displaying occasional flashes of brilliance with its sweeping vistas and intricate quests, only to disappoint with its inability to marry narrative ambition with a massively multiplayer framework. But as with any MMOG, the game you experience on release date won't be the same game you play a few months down the line. So with that in mind, GameSpot editors Kevin VanOrd and Shaun McInnis spent some time conjuring up a wishlist of features they'd like to see added or improved in the coming months.

In fact, it would be odd to play one without some level of spam plaguing the game, whether it's receiving a private whisper or seeing it being shouted out across public channels. Yet it seems that, despite all the good things The Elder Scrolls Online has managed to accomplish, the game is absolutely littered with this trash. Sadly, in a world that could thrive and flourish with true immersion and benefit from genuine roleplaying experiences, more often than not, youre instantly greeted with BUY ME NOW. 48 HOURS BEFORE GOLD IS DEPOSITED IN YOUR BANK. CHEAP RATES. TELL ME FOR FO And it makes Expansive wonder. How did gold-farming get so big and why is it still such a lucrative business?
