Well, those are some pretty weak specs... Have you checked if your RAM is almost at 100% just before the game crashes? If there's a resource monitor equivalent for mac.
Might be your machine is just too weak, might simply be because it's a mac.

I am not experiencing any of the problems you mention, nor are any of the others in this thread. If many players were experiencing your problems, it would be all over the forums and gaming sites, reviews, etc. But they aren't. As much as you would like to deny it, this means that the problem is on your end. Period.
"Recommended specs" mean the bare minimum for crappy play, and they keep it low enough to make the game marketable to as many players as possible. But the truth is, those specs suck and your machine is just weak enough that it is hitting more problems than most. Something about your configuration and setup contribute to the problem in a way that doesn't happen with all of those (very old) games that you mention that don't have such problems.
Finally, you're playing a game on a Mac. Macs are always going to be second class citizens in gaming, get used to it or get a PC gaming rig. Every game is designed to run on a PC, and then maybe it will work on a Mac, too. Sort of. Hopefully. This is the tradeoff you make when you buy a Mac and get whatever advantages there are for having a Mac. Offhand, I can't think of any, unless you like spending more money and having fewer software choices, not to mention all the headaches that come with trying to make PC games work.
I'm not quite sure if you understand the difference between minimum and recommended specs and there are what? 9 people on this thread. I think you don't see the threads as much because most of people experiencing them have quit. I bet if you go back in the posts you'll see a lot of threads about it.

Obviously the fan boys post saying that the problem is on my side and there’s something wrong with my computer or that Macs are not made for gaming and what did I expect. I have never had a problem running any other MMO and I’ve check my computer over and over and over. It’s NOT on my side. Here are some games I have had no trouble running.
Lord Of The Rings Online
World of Warcraft
EVE online
Never once did any of these games crash. SO to make absolutely sure without a single doubt I erased my hard drive and reinstalled my OS. ESO and My operating system are the only 2 things on here. Crash, Crash, Crash, Crash just like before. My hardware is not overheating either. This is clearly 100% the game.
I do not mean to defend teso here, it certainly has it's problems but that statement is completely devoid of any foundation.

If you think three programs running on your machine means a fourth one not running must be irrrefutable evidence for it to be 100% faulty, clearly you have absolutely not even the slightest idea of what you are talking about.

You haven't been on these forums enough. If there were something wrong with the game, for example it were crashing in Cyrodiil - there would be dozens of active topics with such discussions. Since there aren't any at the moment I can only conclude that it's only yourself who's experiencing this and you should fix things on your side.

I think you are making sort of the same mistake as the OP by saying that anything short of absolutely waterproof evidence is the same as having absolutely no clue.
The symptoms are that one piece of software crashes constantly, while several other similar applications do not. That is not a 100% solid proof that the problem is with the crashing application, but I would say it is a very strong hint indeed.
Besides, the current Mac client is known to have a bad memory leak, so the conclusion, even though it wasn't based on absolutely solid evidence, is correct: the software is faulty.
Crash, Crash, Crash, Crash just like before. My hardware is not overheating either. This is clearly 100% the game.
