@ Zeni - why I unsubbed today and when I will return

Just to make it short and simple. This is no "goodbye rant" but instead just a information for the devs why I unsubbed today to get a general feeling why maybe people unsubb.
First of all after hitting vet12 I felt there was nothing more to do.
PvP is a lag festival and I don´t enjoy 1 second in cyrodiil due to the zergy nature of this pvp mode. It is nearly impossible to have small scale pvp and if you have the chance to 1v1 someone, in 99% of the time a zerg appears and kills just one.
Cyrodiil problems:
- lag (constantly, nearly unplayable lag)
- game mode in general sucks for me as a small scale pvp player
- about 2-3 minutes where you can´t mount after a fight with a player (still in combat).. this raised my puls to 300 some times when I need to get fast from a to b and can´t. Other games have 10-30 seconds timer, ESO has 2-3 minutes (good lord thats a lot)
- I beg you bring small scale pvp to ESO for people to enjoy with actually good pvp gear to grind (yeah grind, make it so that it needs a lot of effort to get, but then make it good)
Content problems:
- the lack of REAL endgame. gear currently if I wear vet1 or vet12 is no big difference. also to wear white vet12 compared to legendary (gold) vet12 is a VERY small difference. there is no high need for me to grind additional gear because I don´t feel stronger with it (I know that has been adressed)
- the lack of daily quests for endgame or general endgame. yes, time run dungeons might be funny for some people, but be honest. where is the sense behind time runs if you know that 99% of the first 100 places are cheated?
- 12 man dungeons (trials). yeah, nice idea to have a bigger dungeon for more people, but just learn from other MMOs out there (especially WoW) .. they realised after 10 years that SCALING dungeons is way better since sometimes people can have problems finding 12 people. Its hard to find a 4 man group for dungeons, its even harder to find a good 12 man group.
- Craglorn content. I don´t know why I hit VET12 WAY before craglorn content (somewhere around the vet9 area I did hit VET12 without grinding any stuff monsters or exploiting XP .. just normal leveling, doing 100% of each area.. I never played craglorn quests and see no sense behind this when my XP just get lost (wildstar gives you currency for gear after you hit the level cap and still get XP .. xp are not lost, they are actually usefull which makes you want to go on and on. )
- buggy classes / skills. well, I play a temp. We are problably one of the classes which have the least buggy skills but still there are a lot of issues to be fixed
- lvl 50 horse.. well, why not let me level everything at my horse. I did hit it a few days ago and now one more reason to login daily is GONE (you should really think about making it unlimited so that you can spend 50 points in EACH kategorie)
- your patch notes. I *** hate how you prepare patch notes. those information are not usefull at all except you know that something got changed, but you never know HOW it got changed (take a look at WoW patch notes, detailed and beautiful)
- Undaunted skill line. if it is intended that you have to do each dungeon about 40 times to get the last skill for undaunted you made a big grind for such a whimpy skill. god was I disappointed
- doing all quest areas vet1 - 10 - rewards. guys.. serious. you gave me something which I deleted because it was a shame. so disappointing, never had such a horrible experience in any MMO out there. A *** BLUE *** *** *** AMULETT with *** stats and for level 50.. you *** shitting me.
- gameplay is not fluent enough (changing weapons, take a look at GW2 please, just buy it for 40€ and play it for 1 hour, you´ll notice the difference). it would enhance the game if I actually could switch weapons WITHIN a fight. atm I use it for preperation (hots, some dots for enemies) then switch. not fun at all, but well, what do you want to do.
- to much talking, not enough killing for quests (but this is only my personal preference)
whats good:
- nice UI, graphics, content, nice story, nice gameplay ideas. I really love your game art and how minimalistic everything is. compared to wildstar which looks like a child puked over a rainbow.
- LOVE the community. best com ever in any MMO out there. don´t know why, but only met friendly helpful people.
I will come back when you enhanced the content a little bit and I see actuall endgame content. so far I hope you don´t lose to many subs and still continue to work on this nice piece of software.
cheers,
sry, for my bad english
