Unfortunately, it's not the lack of content that is driving people away. There are many other things that are doing that just fine on their own. Do a little research and you will understand why people are leaving.

State a few. Lack of end game content? Tedious and repetitive pvp? Supposed lack of feedback from devs? Bugs/crashes, bleak dungeons, etc. Unbalanced classes, lag, few resolved memory leak problems that caused some un-subs.

Any of them for you or anybody else? What the *** is your problem? Frequented the forums the past two months, seen many of them. At least state it, don't need to research a damn thing, it's every other discussion.

If it's in every other discussion, why do you need him to state it?

I don't get the point of your post.

Lack of end game
Tedious
Repetitive
Lack of feedback from devs
Bugs/crashes
Bleak dungeons
Unbalanced classes
Lag
Memory leak problems

You made a good list yourself.

How about bad grouping tools, tiny banks, bad guild option, lack of an open world, can't even reply in mail, no AH, vet levels....

I mean you can't swing a dead cat without hitting a reason people are quitting ESO.

I'm told to go do some more research based on my first post, which was directed at an earlier comment, maybe I should have quoted it. I don't see why I have to do research to see why he or anybody else has a problem with ESO. Why couldn't he just blatantly state it instead of telling me to shove off and do some research of why he and everybody else feels the way they do...

Back on topic.

Op! Well done, you stopped your friend playing a perfectly decent game that you enjoyed because of some minor problems that ALL new mmo's will have in one way or another, good job. Most people in your situation, the way you have described it would have said. It's a good game, I have enjoyed it but be warned of X, Y, Z.

I wouldn't call them minor problems. Just to list an example, I haven't played a Nightblade, but the fact that they still aren't fully functional is inexcusable and the announcement a week or so ago addressing some of those issues is inexcusable and doesn't bode well for the future of this game.

I do play a NB, and am loving every single minute of it. My NB works just fine - I solo content 2 to 4 levels above me with ease.

That's because you play the way the game steers you I am sure, cloth armor and restoration staff.

Well he did mention that he solos stuff 2-4 levels higher, so he obviously hasn't reached VR content yet where the class issues start appearing. Hell, NB was heaps fun 1-50.

I am NB VR6. I can still take 2-3 mobs of my same level, but if there is a caster/arrow i have to kill those first and quick or else i die. If someone decides to summon a creatures i have to flee.

I agree with most of the posts above. I am at the final area of my 2nd alliance and i don't wanna do anymore enemy territory (. And i still need EP to do.

I like PvP very much. Yes, it might get repetitive because all we do is getting resources and take/defend a keep. Just like a Battlefield 3 game but people seem to like that too. (like me). But it would be nice to have some sub-objectives.

And to be honest i have devived my time to go back and play SWTOR. It has much content and i love the stories. And it has good co-op play because you can do the NPC discussions together.

I will keep playing ESO because of the nice PvP, but only until i get bored of it.

PS: I still have convidence TESO will grow. Game has only been out for 3-4 months. And the graphics are better then other mmo's, man it looks sweet. Also the details of people checking inventory is well done and the music is great.

You don't launch, and neglect, issues of that caliber for the first two months of the game. All new MMOs don't launch with major bugs involving base class mechanics that have been reported to death since beta and have been willfully ignored for whatever reason.

And yes, I'm glad I raised those issues. Most of my RL friends have quit the game because of these same issues. Would my friend have enjoyed some parts of the game? Sure. Would he have enjoyed the $60 + subscription, only to discover the shortcomings after a week or two? Probably not.

I know ZOS has its hands tied in some regards to how they progress ESO and with regards to the future of the game, but I can't imagine too many players sticking around at this rate. I'm subscribed and I have no plans to quit, but I really have no reason to stick around or remain active at this point. It's disheartening and I hope the developers and designers can recapture my interest but I don't expect too much.

You mean because 'some' people are too stupid to play there class well, a class you don't play, you told your friend that you wouldn't recommend playing ESO even though, by your own admission you enjoy it.

And by the way, Nightblades are awesome, yes a couple of passives don't work so well, but like you pointed out they have addressed that issue and it will be fixed. If you stopped to think about it ESO is doing really well in comparison to other MMO's at this stage in there life. For example WoW, still giving players free game time because they can't log on. Maybe, from now on you should NOT play an mmo at it's birth because you will not be happy.

But in the meantime take a look at this video of this non fully functional class.

Edit: Also, as an added thought, you may want to stay clear of the forums as it's clear you let other people form your opinions. Demonstrated with.

"Just to list an example, I haven't played a Nightblade, but the fact that they still aren't fully functional is inexcusable and the announcement a week or so ago addressing some of those issues is inexcusable and doesn't bode well for the future of this game."

It's just what the dimwits that can't play say.

I'll save everyone the rant. This game feels half-baked, and rushed out the door. I'm actually semi-sheltered from most of it's failures cause I don't play often; but the talk on the internets and what I experience in-game doesn't bode well.
