    With all the people quitting the game, I was pretty sure the Yes answer was going to below 25%.

    Sadly, I was right.

    I'm in V1 territory at the moment. The last time the game felt this empty was in the PST beta.

    1. My char doesn't have to stop moving on the 1st small rock he steps on..
    2. Searching option in the guild store will save me 60 min searching every time I sit to play... (or 10 if we have the addon which isnt working if u don't retrieve the guild store items 1st and this isnt in real time)
    3. Faster casting the actual "Instant" cast skills/spells will be great. And when I press an instant casting spell/skill (if I can press it) I want to actually cast it instantly not after 1 attack or something...
    4. Enemies should go back to their patrolling positions once they are too far away and not attacking me 200 times and then, when I decide to attack them, just then, they go back.
    5. We could move through NPCs ....... as if they are players. Seriously why all NPCs in Tamriel have to push me away, block my walking/running path its ridic..
    6. Aligators/crocodiles etc shouldnt stop attack u when u get in the water (wtf)
    7. coming from 5... I want underwater swimming and fighting + underwater creatures, foes and content (this is just something I want and its not so important as the other 5).
    8. This point hurts so much and its so common that I'm not sure why I'm pointing it - bots and gold sellers.
    9. I know this isn't the place for this but there are so many bugs atm regarding quests/achievements
    10. The horse movement is so *** that I prefer to walk...............

    Yes. That couldn't possibly have anything to do with many people being near V10 or below veteran ranks.

    I really like this game but they need to fix things, many of which others in this thread have addressed. Some of these things are down right game breaking for people wanting to play a certain way. I just want to see improvements so I can like this game even more.

    Changes that would improve ESO:
    • Allow grouping with one or more player(s) in every single instance of this MMO
    • Get the bot problem under control

    bots and spammers are annoying. they have to find a way to get rid of them
    unbalanced quests. Getting annoyed at being sent to kill mob that is elite and obviously 5+ levels higher than me. If you want to send me like the cold harbor quest for level 20. Kill Manimarco at level 20 I think not ! Then allow me to bring friends

    Well, usually in MMOs when I start to reach the top I start to see more people, at least when you level as slow as me.

    Most people pass me up so, I tend to be the player catching up with the crowd.

    I'm unsubbed but I always unsub because recurring subscriptions tend to hurt you in the end (especially the 3-,6-,12- month plans). At this point I'm unsure if I'll pay the fee again next month or not. The VR zones are becoming more and more dead and grouping is actually worthwhile there. I enjoy the game but if there aren't enough players to play with then I don't see the point.

    edit: As a note, I play on DC which also seems to be the least populated faction.

    I said no because the servers in PVP are basically unplayable. I know that PVP is going to have a certain amount of lag in it, but that is no excuse when there is a lag spike every 5-10 minuets. The lag gets really annoying when I am in a battle and there is nothing I can do.

    The buggy quests that force me to relog countless times a day makes it frustrating to quest.

    The gold spammers and amount of mail I get is ridiculous. I have been playing the game for a week and a half now and nothing seems to be done with the annoying bots and gold spammers.

    I really like the game and I want to love it, but the above is making it really hard for me to continue subbing for a game. What makes it even more frustrating that they had all this time to prepare for mishaps like this and nothing was done to prevent it. Nothing is being done to fix it right now either.

    A game can allways be improved. And so can TESO as well.

    Housing would be great, so I would feel more at home in the game.
    I like TESO, but it feels not complete. There is something I can't really explain that holds me back.

    What I also miss are some sandbox elements. In my imagination they would fit so wonderful in the world of TESO ...

    Honestly I'm very happy with it. Its a challenge for us and the devs right now simply because its brand new. Things will continue to improve over time and meticulous care will be taken with this mmo I am sure. They have alot riding on this and frankly it with make or break Zeni. This game has so much potential its rediculous, and time will bring it to light.

    Not just happy. I am very pleased about how the game developers are working with the game. Sure, Bugs and Bots are a pain, but they are working on it.

    Also, Zenimax not only have around the corner things they working on that will be released in a week, month. They have a long working plan. Which I bet they revice every now and then. THAT makes a foundation for an AWESOME service.

    I cant tell the future, but I am pretty sure I will be here in a year, enjoying the hell out of this guild, with a good guild, good and bad memories.

    Every day I get at least 3 - 4 mails from gold sellers and chat is riddled with this rubbish, so basically, the game including the forums have been completely taken over by this outragious behaviour and I refuse to pay for this game till this is fixed and sorted. I spend every day reporting it and it comes from the same site with the same copy and paste text and nothing seems to be done about it. Im not normally so dramatic with unsubbing but seriously guys its getting out of hand now, at least on the app store I can pay to remove the ads. :'(

    Didnt you write a note about unsub a month ago? Or did I get you mixed with someone else?

    You are wrong about the bots. Every MMO has them. And the best weapon..is you.

    As someone said above, it could and should have been better.

    I really detest the vet content. Not because it's a challenge but because I hate the AD areas, don't want to do them, and that's where my Daggerfall character was sent. I picked my faction for a reason, so I didn't have to do other areas. Don't like that part of the game.

    [...]

    Constant nerfs to things like loot, boss drops, containers and XP annoy me far more than the bots do.

    [...]

    I agree, especially on the VR content. I am really not happy with VR levels being increased so soon, too. I and my guild came to this game mostly for AvA and we would like to level there and to break that up with questing. What's happening seems to be just the reverse.

    Also, it feels like the goal posts are being moved further out with VR12 and VR15 just around the corner. I don't want an endless VR grind of questing. I don't really care about Craglorn at all. I want to enjoy 3-faction AvA with my guildies. I want more people to have a reason to enter Cyrodiil.

    There is a lot I like about the game, so I've subbed for this month, but I am not sure about next month.

    There's all kinds of lag issues for me. I feel forced to play solo because I'll just slow my group down. I have a 6 Mbps connection. I don't want to have to upgrade my connection just to play this game. That just adds to the already rough $15 monthly (not to mention the initial game cost). I'm not sure developers truly consider all the other stuff players have to pay for to play the game. It gets to be prohibitively expensive.

    This all makes me dread PvP. The connection issues coupled with the class and racial imbalances makes it all seem so daunting. I'm reminded of my WoW days when I would go into PvP as a druid only to be destroyed by overpowered paladins, warlocks, and then death knights. I don't want to be forced into playing a certain class or race to compete. That runs completely contrary to "play your way."

    The bots are annoying, but I can ignore them. It's impossible to put the blinders on to lag and disconnection issues.

    Also, what happened to all the cool details from Skyrim like the realistic responses to getting hit with arrows and stuff? Hopefully something coming in the future. All the little details are what take games to another level. I do enjoy some of the ones they already have like quest givers yelling at you for going the "wrong way" and jumping in the water and it taking a little bit to swim to the surface.

    I haven't come close to hitting VR content but it sounds bad from what people are saying. We just do the other faction quests? That's pretty lame.

    P.S. I hate cats, but I feel compelled to play as a Khajiit to match how I want to play. "Damn you cats! Damn you all to hell!" - Charlton Heston (if he played ESO) ;)

    If I would have known that this game primarily targets people who want to play mages I would have stayed away.

    Bows suck.
    2h sucks.
    DW sucks.
    Stamina builds suck.
    Heavy armor sucks.
    Medium armor sucks.


    Play any of the 4 classes with destroy/resto staff and light armor and you win.

    There are a number of things that need some serious fixing.
    1) Weapon switching - It is so clunky and sometimes skills don't go off. If you play light armor in VR ranks this usually means death.

    2) DK's are so strong at the moment and can do so many things better than a majority of classes that it almost seems ridiculous to do play anything other than a DK. I do love your game. Some of the stories are captivating, but it sometimes feels like the developers have not played their game or are Dragon Knightcentric that it's ruining why I bought the game in the first place. It's starting to feel one dimensional with one class being vastly superior to everything else.

    3) Bots, bots, bots. I didn't mind the bots farming exp too much, but the flying bots going in and out of terrain is ANNOYING as hell! I love crafting, I love collecting nodes, but seeing bots flying at super speed and underground getting to the node I was 1/2 second away from is infuriating! For most other mmorpgs this isn't a problem since the node can be collected by you and everyone else, regardless of who is farming it; but in this game, it's the race to whoever gets it first. This made me almost want to cancel my sub. This is now happening in Veteran zones too. Fix your game to be less exploitable with client side cheats PLEASE!
    4) Motif drop rate and purple recipe drop rate. Really guys? This patch is introducing a NERF? We already got a HUGE nerf with it and now motifs are possibly going to go extinct? Players who exploited are being rewarded and common players shafted.

    This is a good game with a lot of potential. Please improve on what you have. Do not add new content until the core stuff gets fixed - Mainly class skills and passives. Bows feel clunky. Weapon swapping is atrocious.

    That was my first post, so you have me mistaken with someone else. I play loads of other mmos, so I am more than familiar with bots etc, so I feel based on my experience, that I have an idea of what is acceptable and what is not and I feel for me that this is not acceptable in my opinion.

    However, if it does improve, I will probably be back since I got the CE edition of the game. Just sick of it all at the min.
