Low quality and overall amount of content, developers ignore players feedback, few years of terrible combat design decisions, long time forgotten pvp content, homogenization and absence of diversity in high end pve content
lack of ingame rewards for clearing hardest content in the game and absolutely enormous, greedy, predator monetization

"breaking daily quests" event was a final point for me, cancelled sub and deleted the game
I may return if devs start working on the improvements but unfortunately there is no sign of this

Also, just all the more reason to largely avoid PvP, feels like, which is a real shame. But from watching threads, a lot of the mass report drama seems to happen there.

I have no comment on this thread's content but what you say is definitely not a genuine concern to have about PvP.

Nearly all drama in PvP starts with getting into someone's DMs. If you stay out of people's DMs then you stay out of drama. You can even put yourself in Offline Mode so that nobody can DM you.

Especially if you are just a casual player surfing along with your zone zerg or something, you are basically anonymous and people will leave you completely alone.

I wish that was all that was to it, but its not. Unfortunately, there is a lot of drama in some campaigns about who gets crowned Emperor for your alliance. The reality is that there are some players who are just on a LOT more than others, and thus, if someone outside their circle wants to Emp, there is a price to be paid (typically gold). If you don't suck up to these people or play nice, they tend to ban together to report bomb you, and people have gotten banned just due to the sheer number of reports that were sent. Players get a "free vacation" so to speak while they take a deeper look into the matter.

This situation DOES lead to some salty exchanges, but not always. But the whole Emp mechanic does lead to a lot of toxicity in PVP when it comes to Emp popularity politics, and if you offend the powers that be, you could find yourself wrongfully on the end of a report bomb.

It's actually pushed a lot of quality players out of the game on Xbox NA.

There absolutely should be a role check. Every game (virtually) minus ESO is able to do this.

Set a minimum HP limit for tanks along with the presence of a taunting ability or its equivalent on their bar. Healer? Same thing. There has to be a minimum of 3 support-based skills on each bar for instance. If you want to run a group with 4 dps or 1 tank 3 dps for instance or less than 4 people, make your group before and then run into the dungeon.

To go along with this, expecting any sort of requirements in experience for a random dungeon queue for veterans regardless isn't going to do anything. You could increase the CP minimum to 1000 and you'd still have the same problems because CP equates more to time played than experience. There are plenty of CP 2000+ players that have never run many of the veteran DLC dungeons. The problem lies with the path from starting the game to getting to the difficult content efficiently/with proficiency. There are no hard lessons learned in the game UNTIL that due to overland scaling and ease. You can be naked and questing with fists and be fine currently. The scaling and horizontal progression of this game is cool until you realize it actually has wide spread negative effects

thank you ICOol guy!

Thank you

Most of what ZOS has done since and including U35 has been detrimental to the game. U35 killed the end game PvE community and showed how little ZOS will respond to customer feedback. The 10 year anniversary event was a disaster and the 2025 content was even worse. And vengeance is killing what's left of the PvP community. That leaves only the casual questers who don't sub, rarely buy crowns, and only log on a few times/week if that. ESO can not survive on that.

If everyone at ZOS isn't in crisis mode right now they're even more out of touch than their harshest critics claim they are.

Again, the super serious PvP players and the best are those who make compositions for each person they choose to play with in their group and fight groups of people greater than theirs. Your other point of nobody dying in a 10 minute ballgroup fight just shows me how out of touch you are. I can link you several clips of the best group killing people constantly in GvGs while they are being outnumbered, and not just against zone pugs or bad groups, but the best groups. It sounds as if you are just echoing the common talking point from people who don't actually ever participate in any GvGs when you say nobody dies.

Sure, show some videos with proper commentary and explanations and CMX. I would love to see this type of content because I don't find any on YouTube.

lol ?

I always cancel it right after I buy it. And I only keep it while playing actively mainly because of the loot bag.

Ignoring feedback and customer relations is what's souring me on ZOS. If vengeance is mandated I think ZOS is finished as a viable company going forward. Their credibility will be unrecoverable at that point.

Same. Mandated vengeance will be the end of ESO for me.

Never gonna happen though. Pop caps in Cyrodiil are industry secrets apparently.
