do you guys at zos even care...?

I'm a Zenimax fanboy totally but i agree with the op that PVP in general has issues - big game-breaking issues if you're a pvp'er. A lot of players went to do the PVE content and haven't returned to PVP mainly due to crashes and laaaaaaaaaag.

Crashing, balancing and exploits are driving players away and seriously harming the already bad public perception of the pvp in the game.

Will populations return if these issues are fixed and would it attract new players - Yes.
Are these issues going to be fixed in the next patch- probably not. In fact each patch seems to introduce a new set of unique problems that takes a week to fix.

I Think there are players who own the game and have put this in the wait and see category - where they come back in year or they're waiting to play it on consoles.

There are lots of awesome games coming that in ESO's target market - dragon age, Witcher 3 and the almghty WOW. So this game is going to take a big hit in the next 6 months to a year.

Personally i love the game and PVP and im going to stick with it - the community is awesome so different to other mmo's.

The game also offers something that i haven't found in other MMO's i honestly can't point out what it is to be frank. I could go and play the above games but i just don't want too.

Even in it's admittedly broken state i enjoy playing and doing PVP. It needs serious work the basic core is there - bugs and other stuff will be fixed eventually .

I'm glad this thread and others like it are here because the forums are the main way for the player-base to communicate public opinion to zenimax. Fair enough there is a lot of whining and crying involving the words "OMG" "NERF/BUFF" in some threads.
i disagree with the general tone but sometimes they do make valid points

And for anybody who says it should go F2P - it's a terrible idea look at star wars when they entered the hickman zone.

Overall im not saying Zenimax - fix these problems now thats just unrealistic.

More like a statement in the road ahead saying your are fully aware of the issues in the game and pvp and are working on solutions. This would show that our opinions are valued and gives us faith that although things aren't fantastic now they will improve.

- throw us a bone - just something like that to re-assure PVP'ers that fixes are coming so eventually we can play on a level stable playing field and give it the <insert relevant faction here>!!

There need to be population caps for servers so we can spread the player base. I personally feel that zos is lettings us down, and it makes me sad since i want this game to reach its potential

Notice how there is more time spent editing posts from PISSED OFF PLAYERS than there is actual feedback from ZOS? Seriously guys wtf gives? Threads like this are only hurting you and your complete lack of participation only makes it worse for you. Its almost like you guys -want- this game to fail. It's almost like you -want- your company to get blacklisted by the gaming community so that you never get to publish another title again. Is this really what you want? Please prove to us otherwise by getting involved in these discussions. Or do you want us to come do the work for you?

That said, I really really dont want to unsub. I want to see this game succeed. At this point though I am really losing hope.

Finish your damn cookie before you get another. Fix whats broken before you put more broken/unused crapola into this game. PLEASE.

Removing Forward Camps would fix 99% of the issues with the current PVP system.

#1 It would reduce load in latency. You wouldn't instantly have 23509823509825 players spawn from a Forward Camp which causes stress to the server.

#2 It would force players to work together

#3 It would reduce if not eliminate AOE spamming on keep breaches to cause latency during keep take overs.

There are a hundred reasons why Forward Camps being removed would improve the state of PVP, these are just the top three. I believe the PVP aspect of ESO would be improved with this removal.
