It does this automatic renewal thing I don’t like. It’s a terrible shameful business practice imo.

I’ll probably re-sub as I just did, but I want to have options left open. Like maybe I want to do 3 months, or even six. Or see how long I can make it without a crafting bag. I’ve a terrible track record with this and usually re-sub within a day or so.

There’s no free lunch zos. You’ve got me with the auto sub before. But never again. Unless I forget to un-sub. But that was my fault. I’m still not happy about it. But like I said; I’ll probably re-sub anyways.

You can stop it renewing if you want to.

Whenever I've bought ESO+ I pay for it, log in to the game to confirm it's actually active and then immediately cancel the renewal. If you do that you'll still get all of the time you paid for, however long that is, the ESO+ benefits will only stop when the subscription time ends. You can then buy more time whenever you want, in whatever amount you choose.

I'm not entirely sure how it works if you try to resubscribe before your current time ends, as I've never tried to do that. But if necessary you could just put the money aside and wait for it to end then start it up again.

(If anyone's wondering I do this because I don't actually want ESO+ all the time. I buy a month or a few months for a specific purpose - usually either so I can re-dye my costumes or because it's the cheapest way to get the amount of crowns I want at the time I want them - then I let it run out and don't buy more until I want it again.)

Thanks for your replies guys and gals.
It is half/half which goes to show that half of us probably play PVP (within the repliers to this subject).

Instead of 'hate' subjects I prefer to use this vote to show our game developers and team that we aren't happy chappies at the moment and we are trying to hold on, but there is a breaking point.

To add my reply -> I cancelled.

Yep, just signed up for another year. Worth it.

I just renewed, and went with a longer time.

Never really considered ESO+ when I started, but I got hooked with the nice DLC zones and the crafting bag. At this point, not sure how I could play without it.

I don't play PvP, so I have really not had any issues with anything so far. I'm having lots of fun on the PvE side, so it really does seem worth it to me.

I had previously gone 2 years without subbing (Morrowind to Elsweyr) because I disagree with so many business decisions Zeni was making. Last year my wife gifted me a 6 month sub, which just renewed in early March. I don’t know yet if I’ll cancel future renewals. It depends on how much I like New World.

I did cancel my ore-order of Greymoor and got a refund last week though.

I am thinking about, though more because of a combination of reasons.

I enjoy a variety of things in the game from housing to questing to trials and pvp.

1. PvP and the performance there is a big factor. Already lost most of the friends I pvp with b/c of the performance there over the last year. So at this point I pretty much just go in open world randomly to earn rewards and see if I can get into some fun scraps. But performance often makes that a chore.

2. Trials performance has been an issue as well. If not a server issue, a bug issue. Even tonight when we went back to do vCR, everything is so buggy. I can't believe they aren't embarrassed that this is what they present for their end game top level content.

3. The changes. I don't mind raising the floor. But if they squeeze the middle class players out by lowering ceiling and raising the floor so there is nothing but the top few guilds that do everything perfect and then participation trophies for everyone under that b/c they've made it so everyone that wants to beat something can beat it with minimal effort, then it won't be worth that effort. Plus the sets they keep introducing that make old sets worthless - just started getting lokke set together, which of course made war machine obsolete and there is a new trial set that makes lokke possibly not worth it. Can't come up with anything new huh?

4. Ultimately it's a community game, I'm here to play with friends. Even though I enjoy doing the quests, they are not even in the league of an average single player game. So the more friends that leave, the less likely I am to stick with it. Aside from the pvp friends that left, we just lost a tank and healer from our trial team due to performance of the game. Also another guild that I fill for was talking about moving entirely to a different game (most of them came to this game as a guild, they've known each other for years I guess) because of the changes zos is talking about with HA/LA. And I know there are probably 4-5 on our trial team that don't even play the game much and just show up for trials, if they decide to move on, the team probably falls apart. Yeah, there are always new friends to make, but when you are on your fifth or sixth guild of people that quit the game, it gets old.

So I pay month to month. If it gets to a point where I'm not getting anything out of it, then I guess I'll cancel it.

I'm already a bit fed up they've allowed performance to get as bad as it has and their fixes seem to be making it worse. And then feeling like I've been lied to with the HA/LA PTS that was "just a test" when heavy attack meta trial sets are coming in Horrowstorm. I really don't like feeling like I can't trust people that we have to turn to for guidance on changes or how things work or explanations of what happened, etc. Also makes me feel like half the time they are just throwing changes at the wall and seeing what sticks.

I cancelled last summer. Can't believe things got even worse.
