If you want to see how rageable I can be when things do not work check my history, I am sure that I will be complaining tomorrow about some sort of bug...

But 3 months in and I have played pretty much every hour I could... I have done all 3 alliances, ground anomalies, got an all gold outfit from hours of farming, spent 2 hours naked suiciding to light a torch, levelled 5 craft skills, taken a stamina NB to VR12, kicked & been kicked in PvP... And just had a wild time...

And I have more to do...

I still need to join some guilds, finish all sidequests, finish the group & public dungeons, do Craglorn properly, save up materials for my next kit upgrades...

I get effed off when the game is not right, i get frustrated when patches add bugs, i get annoyed with l2p posts... But not as much as I get angry with those posting with the 'i hope this game fails' mentality.

I am glad I ventured into online gaming and hope this game carries on being a sub only game for years to come.

    This frustrated the *** out of me when it happened, but I can laugh at it in hindsight now.

    Your post is well written and I appreciate you taking the time to post it. :D

    The burden of proof may technically be on the OP on this one, but it should only take you about 2.5 seconds to find one just by browsing the General forum.

    To the OP, well said, sir. The devs may have made a few boneheaded decisions and there might still be a plethora of bugs, but this is still a fundamentally great game. There's a big difference between those of us who occasionally snark because we care about the game and those who snark because they just enjoy peeing in somoene's Wheaties. Those guys should find a new hobby.

    ESO had the most hate/propaganda I have ever seen in an MMO. Sad thing is that a lot of the "gamers" are not better than those who just create a youtube channel and rage at everything all the time because they have nothing better to do with their lives. So they are just buying their word without personal experience.

    I can't even imagine how many "ESO sucks" I've heard from people I knew they never played it.

    Nevertheless, the game seems to be doing good considering the amount of hate it got, and don't forget that population numbers will be boosted since the game will be released in the 2 consoles in some months.

    Still there are some things that I would like to see changed especially for PvP, such as the AoE cap which need to go.

    Because f2p mostly equals p2w - I simply do not play this sort of game, I do not say you cannot.

    No it does not equate to pay to win. This is some sort of panic-mongering. Give an example of a f2p game that includes p2w.

    Seriously.....any f2p game...... if some one can pay money to get the same item I jist camped a mob for 2 days for...thats crap.

    Believe mex EQ I would have paid 100 bucks for J boots.....but no dice.... you had to camp the ancient cyclops for days to get it.

    I do t want rich richerson to drop his $/&*# wallet and get the same thing in 5 minutes, just to line some company pocket for a $*#$ virtual item.

    F2p is just $$ for the creator.....

    Maybe Im jealous because I dont have extra extra disposible income......

    nice positive post, refreshing. You have achieved so much more than me, well done. I must be slacking indeed.

    It seems to be human nature to want to gather as many supporters to your cause, whether its wishing the game go down or wishing it stays up and profits. think on when you had something bad happen to you where you felt you lost money. Didnt it make you feel better if you found others that shared your view? ever post a bad review in revenge? some do take it to a new level, but thats their sport. Dont take the naysayers too hard, a game lives or dies on its own merits, not rage posts.

    I do find it nice to see new players to the game, recently there seems to be more on hand. certainly they must have seen some rage posts and negative reviews and still thought the game was intriguing enough to cough up the money to sub.

    I genuinely hope ESO succeeds.

    Had to change my viewpoint a little though to adjust expectations and keep from being disapointed. Kind of like turning on the TV and wanting to watch an action movie or show but all the channels are playing "The Three Stooges".

    Once you start seeing this game as a comedy, like "Haha we can't login, you got us there! good one!" and realize that the PvP "game" actually is "Player Vs. Patch" you will realize your not wasting 15 bucks a month but actually getting an additional comedy element with that sub fee that many other stable and "serious" games just simply cannot provide. Also throw in an element of mystery ("what's missing in the patch notes" game) and drama (oooh forum dueling) then you've just got to realize you are getting way more entertainment for you're buck than you think you're losing - it's just coming in a form that isn't as straightforward as just playing the game.

    haha, just joking. i agree with you that eso is awesome and has alot to offer and infact, i will admit eso is the best mmo by far. and i also have lots left to do and i hope eso will be here for years and years to come.

    GW2 there's one. Want more? Sure you pay for the game, but no subscription. How do you think they keep the game going? People pay real money for gems and then can trade that in for in-game currency. No thanks. That is good for noobs, gold farmers, and hackers.. it is not for REAL gamers. That's just one small issue with f2p. Guess what? If you can't afford $15 per month for this game, DON'T PLAY IT and GO FIND A BETTER JOB.
