True story inbound.
I actually stopped playing for 2 months and came back around a month ago. I kept my sub going the whole time though. My reason- I was reading too much of this forum and the amount of whinging and childish behaviour gave me the equivalent of online ebola.
I shouldn't have let it affect me like that to be honest, but damn.
Although it is to be expected in a gaming forum, as it seems to be a very entitled generation currently in existence.
Anyway +1 OP I'm with you on this one. Fresh and positive feedback and discussions go a long way to making ESO a fun place to come to.

In another thread I read about someone who was also complaining about the complainers (ethics) - they had played the free 30 days and had then quit "this abomination of a game".
I just don't get it... don't people play games they enjoy and leave the ones they don't? Or is that simply too rational for most people?
I understand why people are concerned about the changes - change can be threatening. Some people want to voice their disgust, that's their prerogative. Some people want to wait and see, or even view the change as positive, again that's their prerogative.
No need to get your knickers in a twist

For the record I kept my sub running and always planned to come back.
But the toxicity really began to shape how I felt about the place.
You'd probably be surprised how much people are affected by other people's behaviour in a community. No different to a community you would be a part of in 'real' life.
Anyways I make it a point to try help people in game for that very reason. Good example was a new player who was asking questions in zone, I ended up getting in an in depth conversation via whisper with them. After I realised he/she was learning blacksmithing I decided to craft 50 low level iron daggers for them for free. I went through the trading and deconstruction process with them, and helped them really level up their smithing in the process. Small things go a long way, in game and on the forums. What did it cost me, some iron ingots and time? What did it achieve, hopefully a new player that sticks around for the long run and may extend the same kindness and knowledge to another new player in the future.
We should all take a responsibility to make ESO a good place to be, that's what keeps many coming back. There's enough a/holes in real life, a game should be everyone's escape from all that.

I don't blame the anger at all, it's pretty justified at this point.
More like expected that a bunch of people would throw a tantrum on the internet. Just because some people are predictable, does not mean it is justified.

Well we were given the whole spiel about how this game would stay P2P, they listen to us / our opinions mattered, etc. since day 1. Some people react more passionately when companies make a 180.
I honestly should be very pissed after a third time in a "row" of an MMO dropping P2P over the "recent" years. STO to SWTOR to TESO. At this point, I'm just disappointed that companies have 0 loyalty left to their customers.
Er, no, I've seen nothing from ZOS or anywhere else that said M$ or Sony changed the rules for developers .. to my knowledge only Square Enix has ever had the power to make M$ change their rules and that only happened because M$ wanted to try to break into the Japanese market and SE are of course huge there.They probably wanted to make more money with a subscription fee, but they had no choice. That's just business, and if anyone is to blame, it's probably Sony, and more likely, Microsoft.

ZOS never stood a chance to repeat that with M$.
I'm really having a hard time understanding the rage going on. For me, I'm still having fun playing ESO. For $15/month, it's certainly cheap entertainment that's usually far more enjoyable than watching most TV shows today, that's for sure. As long as ZOS keeps making it enjoyable by adding new content and other features, then I'll just keep paying my subscription. Nothings changed, move along
