    No.

    I'll be dropping my sub once 1.6 drops, if that was tomorrow then i'd be doing it now.

    I haven't seen a single thing that makes me want to keep subbing when I can play for free.

    The only extra content I want is Dark Brotherhood, Thieves Guild and housing. I don't think those will appear for a damned long time so there is no reason whatsoever for me to keep paying when I don't need a sub to keep playing.

    After watching the latest ESO live it's clear that Zos are totally focused on new players and there will be very little to keep me interested. I really want to support the game but with nothing new on the horizon there's really no reason to pay for it.

    To be honest, I think that PvE/PvP is enough to live on until August (When apparently new PvE content comes out I've been told, don't quote me on this)

    Although, since I just came back after a break, I'm definitely starting to enjoy the game again, I think it's healthy to take a break from the game and then return, especially when new updates happens, it's something new, something to get used to, and something to enjoy :)

    I'm definitely going to carry on my sub, definitely.
    F2P, B2P, P2P, who cares? The main thing is that we enjoy the game, and if some don't, get over it unfortunately ;/

    I despise ZoS right now. The B2P change based on fan feedback (which fans exactly?), no mention what so ever about when/if we will ever see the final phase of the CS and the removal of Vet Ranks, the very BLATANT fact that everything they do revolves around console release, etc.

    But I will retain a sub. For now. Not sure why exactly. It sure as heck isn't because I want to support ZoS. We supported their 10 month beta test and look where it got us. In fact the more I think about it, the more I am on the fence. Time will tell. I will start out retaining the sub and see how I feel in a few months.

    I think i would still sub. Mostly its because i'm getting older and i am learning more and more that what we want to do isn't always we end up doing.

    Qualification of that statement: I believe that ZoS had a vision for ESO. I also believe that behind the scenes meddling from a certain sister-company, allowed by an impatient and short-sighted parent company, has made them continually adjust the initial vision.

    Also, its only $15 a month and i believe i'll still have fun playing it from 1.6 on. Why not stay subbed, not like i'm playing anything else or care to atm.

    I'm interested to see if any new rewards will be given to those who kept subscribing. Just like the new 'one time offer' for those who subbed from release hubub.
    I'm not holding my breath, and I am not expecting anything, but they do like to give out things that are yet to be announced.

    No,

    There is nothing in the store I want or need. And if true that no new content for the next year, then what will I be paying for? Same content that we already have? Ah yes, the justice system but that's it. And I don't see any options to opt out of that.

    Sorry but I paid since launch just to get sh@#ted on.

    I am new to ESO and greatly enjoying the game. I voted that I would switch to à la carte, however, I may very well stay as sub for a month to get some crowns and test how it goes. I'm just not terribly enticed by the current rewards for being subscribed once the game goes Unlimited, as 'bonus xp' is usually something I outright avoid in MMOs (as I really dislike outleveling things). If the rewards system changes, my vote may as well.

    Yes. They want attention. That is exactly right. They want attention from ZoS. It's called consumer feedback. We have it in 1st world countries.

    There are so many people who still think that subbing is some kind of show of support for the game or a statement about how much you prefer the sub system over B2P or F2P.

    Considering that after March 17th you get everything you currently get as free content and that it will be a while until subbing to have access to all DLCs means something, the only question you should be asking yourselves is if $15 / month for some 10% boosts and a few crowns is really worth $15.

    I love the game and will keep on playing after the B2P transition, but I see no reason to continue to sub... yet.

    Once you get access to all DLC that way and there is a lot of DLC to have access to? It may very well be the better option at that point over just an occasional $10 Crown purchase.

    Yah the $15. is worth for me. boosters and crowns to spend in the shop. Use alot of coins in other game like dota2 etc. anyway, i do like that model with a shop. And the sub just make it easier :)

    I'd have to see just how many crowns a plain $30 crown purchase gets me instead of a 2 month sub. It should be the better deal until there are DLCs.

    I won't pay one more cent to ZOS after March 17, and I will probably be playing a lot less, if at all.

    No

    I had planned to stay subbed but TBH, after trying update 6, if it goes live in its current state I can't justify paying for it.

    Total fustercluck.

    I'll wait and see how things pan out over the next few weeks before making a decision.

    Not after playing the PTS.

    What I am willing to do is give the game another chance for a while after 1.6, but I won't pay the sub.

    Personally, after testing, I don't like most of the changes. It feels as if we are getting pushed into grinding CP just to get our character back where they were. Unfortunately, the CP gain is so slow, that the only way to get it efficieintly will be through boosts in the store.

    After PvPing on the PTS I'm not sure I'm going to enjoy pvp live on 1.6. I can understand a lot of the changes were needed and agree with most, but the stat scaling and nerfing of armor sets really isn't sitting well with me and I think pvp is actually going to be a lot worse in 1.6 than before.

    I unsubbed right after they made that wacky ESO live in early December I still have game time since I was actually satisfied with the direction ESO was appearing going in November(What a fool was I.).The B2P announcement and looking at how lousy the 1.6 is on PTS made it clear that I made a good decision not to support ZOS anymore.

    Depending on the DLC and the cost, i will not sub until content is released that peaks my interest. If it's cheap i'll buy it, if it's fluff i will sub for a month and play through it.

    1.6 Is absolutely incredible from playing the PTS. It really opens the doors to ESO and I have a lot of faith in it. I'm going to stay subbed because I still want to support ZoS and I want ESO to turn into an amazing game.

    This is what I've been thinking as well. And after losing a ton of inventory on the PTS character copy due to the mount capacity bug, if what's currently on PTS went live and B2P tomorrow, I'd wait a couple weeks to log in.
