What annoys you most about ESO/players?

For me it's getting groups together, especially in the group finder.

Having waited forever to get a group together, we see a set of names pop up on the side of the screen. Awesome, time to actually play this MMO like an MMO! We stop what we're doing and head to the nearest Wayshrine. Sure, we could be lazy and just wait until someone else gets in the dungeon and teleport to them, but we're feeling supportive tonight and we'll take one for the team.

So there we are, sat in Darkshade Cavern, just need to wait for everyone else to pop in.

Any second now...

Send a friendly notice over PSN, (non PC master race) to let them know they can port to me.

10 minutes later and we're still pacing in circles waiting.

Give up, leave group.




This happens far too often. All group finder needs is an auto-teleport once your group is full.

Rush rush rush...

But that disappoints me about basically all MMO players these days. The game's are basically still the same, but how players player them have changed a lot. That being said, thankfully ESOTU has seemingly a relatively high proportion that still actually practice the 'journey not the destination' mantra. Which is nice to experience.

I agree. Group Finder is ***. Unless you have 3 people already (or 2 if you'll be able to 3 man it) grouping by camping outside is just as bad.

The mmo police should fine eso for calling itself an mmo (on console)

Muizer

Concerning PvP, people who think people on their own faction are truely a better sort than those on the other factions. Reality check much needed.

Sithisvoid

I hate journeys I only care about the destination. But hey if you want to sit in a car smelling feet go right ahead.

GreySix

Forced-solo instances in the main story, much as it was my gripe in PC beta.

For me it's the people who sit there with an open mic so all you can hear is the noise from their living room (not all in-game conversation is subtitled so, if you turn the volume off you can miss it).
Today I've had screaming babies/toddlers guy, then sneezing, hacking cough guy and my least favourite, the tuneless whistling, completely inexplicable noises guy. PLEASE STOP DOING THAT!

Personofsecrets

Not critical enough of the games development.

Zorrashi

People complaining about nothing to do when they grinded past all of the content. It is also kind of bad too because this game actually encourages grinding instead of quality content.

Dekkameron

My main gripe is the Champion system, i think it is completely unfair and cheap mechanic.

(btw i do have my share of CP's but i still hate the system)

Forestd16b14_ESO

Hmm ........ well Glass DPS who blame everything on everything except them selves for me is very annoying another one is elitest guilds who think there better than every one just cause they got a few powerful members .

NewBlacksmurf

Ppl on console complaining on what isn't on console but on PC

Hineni17

The ability for anyone to hide instantly while in the open and in combat during pvp. Seeing a heavy armored DK 2 feet away disappear in an open field is insane.

Attacking nb's only for them to vanish then spending the next 5 mins playing tag with them.

Tholian1

Class hatred.

GreenSoup2HoT

PvP Ego.

DaveMoeDee

People who post on forums in a single string of words without any punctuation between what should be sentences.

My actually main complaint is changes in PvE play due to rebalancing for PvP.

I do agree with the OP though.

Akavir_Sentinel

Global skill and class nerfs/changes because of PvP whines.

Molag_Crow

Agreed. That's why I stopped queuing for dungeons after it happening about 7 times in a row.

CidxLucy

I pay for my horse It can be used on all characters.
I pay for upgrades with real money it can't be used on all my characters.

group finder take so long and q you up with some crazy level and roles. 3 tanks ><

What annoys me the most about Elder Scrolls Online, and or its players, would have to be the mentality of some of the players I've encountered. To be specific, the arrogant/elitist players. Who find themselves so high and mighty; yet do things which show that they lack basic understanding of the core mechanics of the game.

For example, there was a Veteran Rank 14 sorcerer, who I came across with a guild member whilst looking for another DPS to run a veteran pledge for the day. This person nonstop spoke of: How knowledgable they were, how they were a PC-transfer, and had spent well over 2yrs. to obtain the "perfect build" for DPS. They also kept bragging about how "legit" their guild was, and how they are the first to do just about everything (lol). So my guild member and I give this gentleman a chance, and we head over to City of Ash. As soon as we arrive, this guy is telling us about the "optimal" way at running the dungeon, this and that. And how lightning fast he and his guild were able to complete the task(s) at hand. And while he's explaining it, I immediately begin seeing flaws in what they're saying. I'm noticing numerous exploits within his strategy, as well as area where things could go wrong. And what happens when put into practice? They go just as I planned. His strategy fails us big time. Keep in mind, I was a Veteran Rank 10 at the time (as well as DPS sorcerer). And ironically enough, I was not only surviving, but putting out more damage than him. This was odd, so I asked him why he ran/didn't run certain skills (such as him saying that Conjured Ward and its morphs were primarily for PVP'ers, and lacked a purpose for PVE). And just about every single answer that came out of his mouth, was because he was a "min-maxed", and that the skill(s) I spoke of were primarily for PVP. And served no use to him and or DPS-based sorcerers. So time goes on, and we get to I believe the 2nd or 3rd boss (the boss which has the Air Atronach spawn). And at this point, he's dying nonstop, and yet I'm always the last person to die. This guy then begins putting the blame on us, and starting to sound frustrated on the mic. He then asks if there was a vampire in the group, and I said that I was a vampire. His response? "I don't usually run City of Ash with vampires, as they usually get in the way." Keep in mind, he'd die before me just about every single time. And I'd always be the last person to die. Eventually, he comes up with an excuse to leave and leaves as fast as he could.

The point of the story I provided above, was that some of the players in this game need to stop making themselves seem more skillful than what they are. And stop believing that just because you have reached Veteran Rank 14, that you are the end-all and be-all of the game. Even in PVP, you'll hear people make comments about how there's a "group of VR14's coming), instead of just calling it a group. And it's annoying. Because, it only means that you've reached a temporary cap in level (if on console). And that it's possible now for you to have the last rank in gear. That's it. Sure your base stats will be higher than a lower level, but that alone will NOT cover-up your overall playing ability and skill.

The lack of naked way shrine parties. Used to be so many more of them and now they're gone! ALL GONE!

ESO's community is from the most part composed of mature players, usually older players too which I like. Been a huge jump for me from other online games where it was full of young immature kids, (literally "kids" around the age of 11) that would hold nothing back from insulting others. But I haven't experienced such a thing in ESO, thank god for that.

But just recently I've had this guy in a gold pledge whose acting just stunned me since I got used to the better community. We entered the group dungeon in Fungal Grotto and engaged in a combat with the first group and killed them with ease. Me as an achievement hunter player that cares about completion knew that the "finish dungeon under 20 minutes" achievement's timer was already running. It started when one of our group's member said: "2 secs". So I suspected he'll need just a couple seconds before we continue the dungeon, it took him a good 2-3 mins before he got back. Now I understand that, sometimes there are more important things you need to do and even though I didn't know what he needed to do, after 2 minutes I got a bit nervous about the timer. So the conversation went like this:

Me: "The timer's running >.<."

Guy1: "okok im back" (some time after I mentioned the timer)

Guy2: "what timer? pizza timer?"

Me: "Achievement timer"

Guy2: "nobody cares" (wow, this brought me to my knees, didn't expect such rudeness)

Me: "Well, I do."

Guy2: "thats to bad"

Now if this was any other MMO I wouldn't care, I would just roll with him being like this. I was simply stunned that there actually are people so arrogant to say it so calmly and straight up like it was just another day. I mean I also get like this from time to time but I try to keep it polite, whatever it is I need to say, I point it out and I don't talk to people like this.

The dungeon went on as we encountered third group of NPCs that my group simply kept dying to. The dungeon was scaled to V3 as we all were around V1-V3. I was the healer there, doing my best to keep them alive and it was the best they could get. But 2 of them were simply blindly running around, getting all the mobs and barely doing any damage. I've been doing the healer several times in vet dungeons and nobody ever died because of me, either these guys' gear was far too bad as their hp went from 100% to 25% within two seconds or they just did something wrong, I dunno. That's when one the mentioned "Guy2" told me to "stop sleeping" and "dude start healing", as if I was the one responsible.

Moments later I got kicked out of the group and just left to search for another players. Got to a group of players that yet had to do Silver pledge which I've already done but still offered myself to run it with them as we went for a Gold pledge afterwards. We've gone through both dungeons smoothly without any issue.

Well that was a bit of my story that I'd have forgotten if it wasn't for this thread that reminded me of it so I felt like sharing it, lol.

But to answer your question, OP, to me it is when players act way too positively, as when it almost seems faked, only to make them look as best as they can to other people, almost like hiding something. Talking about their happy, perfect lives, being happy with everything, celebrating and stuff, meh I don't enjoy myself seeing these conversations but I don't interfere 'cuz this is simply my way of seeing things and I understand that they would think of me as the toxic, "evil" guy.

When ppl talk *** in TS, then realize the person they're talking about is there, then they stfu or start kissing ass

Reverb

Widespread exploiting of glitches and known bugs.

mtwiggz

Lack of maturity once subscription fees went away.

Can definitely notice a huge drop in mature conversations since Tamriel Unlimited was released. I also notice a huge increase in tea bagging and trash talking in PvP. Suppose these were the types of players ZoS wanted. So these are the types of player they received.

• Wrecking Blow
• Focused Aim
• Mark of Death
• Teleport Strike

Tiebearion

Everyone who ever killed me in PVP annoys me.

Also people who force me to get on teamspeak just to run a quick dungeon where everyone knows what to do anyway i get you like to chat, but some people like to play silently.
