This graph is misleading and does not represent the number of players at all.

It is based on analytical data from Google and the number of people searching for "ESO" etc.

Even if Steam only represents players who pass through this platform, at least it is a reliable source that clearly shows the decline of our game.

The steam chart isn't really all that genuine either, considering how skewed your projected line is. That graph has no influence on the conversation, because all MMOs declined in numbers after COVID, WHICH by the way is the peak of your graph, lol.

Admittedly, I did reroll out of the trial one, but I found them to be inconsistent in effort and reward. Some were dull but quick, like loot 5 treasure chests for 360 points, and then there was the flame atronach one which took absolute ages, for 420 points. 150 flame atronachs! Insane.

Edit: I liked the 5 DLC world bosses for 500 points. That was a good one.

It will definitely be intact. The Great Collapse didn't happen until 4E 122, just about 80 years before Skyrim takes place. If/when we do end up going there, it will be the glorious, historied former capital of Skyrim to rival Solitude that it was all the way through the beginning of the 4th Era.

OK. Full story. My wife got into housing so she is decorating all the houses I've collected, she's not super interested in playing the game. Fair enough. (Her issue is you can't walk 50 feet without having to fight an apex predator for some reason... do you need to fight a bear every 50 feet? Is spending time killing skeevers to collect a root really worthwhile?). That's a whole other issue.

I just spent the better part of an hour farming Rimmen Necropolis to get gear that I can deconstruct for Shimmering Sand to so she can build things she wants for housing. Fair enough. I killed numerous bosses, went through it twice. Over and over again bosses would drop nothing but gold or useless items, no zone set to deconstruct. In all I got TWO items I could deconstruct. Deconstructed them and got nothing. 0 Shimmering sand. I wasted an hour for nothing.

Why are bosses not dropping items? Why is this game so tight sometimes? I don't get it.

It's not just that, it's other parts as well. Resource maps you get with your writs... why does wood farming not give you heartwood? Just... why? Is it going to break the game if I can make another table?

RNG. Just why? If you can't get a lead for 2 months (I actually emailed to ask as I thought it was broken I had run it so many times) you are told it's just "RNG". When you get a motif or plan there is a "cooldown" because RNG can't work in your favour... just why?

Make it make sense please. Really angry right now. What a waste of an evening.

something great for grouping like 10 or 20 PUG groups

so true.

There's the same problem in cyrodiil. Nobody wants to group.
I think people want to be free and dont want to follow orders of someone

However, the groups are still beautiful and bring out the interest of the MMO.

It's kind of the curse of ESO. They attached themselves to a popular single player "RPG" so of course people in this game are going to have a problem with joining groups or being social lol.

I don't think players have a problem joining groups or being social. It's just not efficient to do things like quest while grouped. It's difficult to complete quests when those in the group are on different quests or different phases of a quest.

That's kind of what I mean, the game is basically oriented towards single player TES fans because of how its structured. The quests are usually separate instances, because they know their player base has a lot of solo players.

In the notes for the event it has the following regarding the Glorious Anniversary Jubilee Box:

"Glorious Anniversary Jubilee Gift Box rewards

NEW: One of the following:
A tradeable outfit style page for the Dapper Daredevil armor style
Gilded Stirrups, the second fragment of the Thorn’s Bite Withersteed mount
If you have already collected the Gilded Stirrups, this will be a guaranteed Dapper Daredevil outfit style page instead"

I have the Gilded Stirrups on some of my accounts, so I should always be getting a Dapper Daredevil outfit style page on those accounts; however, I don't always get the Dapper outfit style page as a reward. It seems I was going to get another Gilded Stirrups, but since I already have it, the reward algorithm is not working as intended.

Note: I noticed the same issue a couple of times during the Jester's Festival

You're missing the part that was above the quoted text from your source. The part where it says... "Interested in the goodies you can find within these boxes? Check them out below"

Note that it says "can find" and not "will find".

You basically have a chance at one of those dropping. If you already have the stirrups, and the chance to get stirrups hits again, it'll be a style page instead of nothing.

Instead of only focussing on steam charts, there are sites that provide a more realistic view on active players:
