    So here we have the new ESO elder statesman accusing ZOS of not doing things the way he wants them to be? And holding grudges because some random streamers either don't play ESO anymore or are being paid by ZOS to promote the game he essentially hates? And all covered in narcissm, self righteousness and bad language?

    Yeah, but it's not a jealousy thing, sure.

    Maybe it's his way to say his opinion. And people can agree or not. And people DO agree (and of course disagree), even they don't know him. He could've made a thread using a different name, saying the same stuff and most players would still either agree or disagree. It doesn't matter if he's a streamer or/and using kinda harsh words. In the end he's saying some true stuff, that needs to be discussed.

    I'm not going to sweat it if some of the elites that have all day to play video games leave because it isn't what they want, I'll just play the game and have fun. I send in suggestions and bug reports, but don't ever feel the need to rant about a video game.

    1. Yes, it does matter. Harsh language makes you look like a *** and weakens your arguments; of which he has quite a few valid ones, I do not doubt. However, if you throw around words like f***, di**, pis* in each and every phrase you completely undermine what you essentially want to say, however valid that may be.

    2. No, he's saying stuff he believes is right or justified. Doesn't make it the truth, however. But of course, established streamers have a lot more subjective credibility than unheard-of folks writing forum posts and that DOES make a difference in a gaming community these days.

    The amount of sarcassm and bitterness this dude launches at ZOS and also - by insinuation - at people that may just not share his opinion is amazing. His rant is quite well scripted and has a deal of well placed rhetorics in it, sure. But at the end of the day it's just a vocal 28 minute "I am leaving" video and should be treated just as such.

    Constructive criticism was attempted during beta.
    It failed.
    More pointed criticism was attempted.
    It failed.

    It should be super-obvious by now that the only way you get change in this game is by:
    1. investing millions into it
    2. fluffing the egos who can make changes

    So while I do agree with the video, unless you're willing to invest a lot of money or suck a lot of ***, your opinion matters about as much as an ice cream truck in rural Antarctica.

    But that's fine. It's a tolerable game, and it will get tolerable support from me. Maybe $25 a year. Feels like a tolerable amount.

    More passive-aggressive criticism was attempted.
    And in an office somewhere, somebody got butthurt...

    I think Fengrush has no idea about how casuals play and for how long they stay in a game. He said like 3 months and then they are leaving the game - why would they possibly do that?- They have seen like nothing from this game in 3 months, because they do neither rush through the content nor would they spend a lot of time playing - if they get to play 20 hours per month that is already a lot and if they get up to 40 they hit a boundary, where their spouses will start to seriously get mad at them.

    For casuals the game content will not run out anytime soon - they simply are not gamers who would consume a game like it would be melting ice cream. They do not burn through the content like being on speed and they do not run around like squirrels from quest to quest - they try to enjoy their time in Tamriel, without stress or the insane idea, that endgame would be what the game would be about - it is not - that what hardcore gamers see as a necessary evil - the PvE content - that is their game. And that Pvp content is not much more than a necessary evil, because they will most likely never get to it anyway.

    This game can perfectly live on for many years to come, paid solely by casual players - they might not play a lot, they will as well not be a burden on the servers, but they are willing to keep up a subscription for years to come - because that is what they want - enjoyable entertainment to get back to, whenever they have a couple of hours. They do not seek a challenge, but entertainment, something to get away from reality for a bit - so they stay subscribed, because this is the cheapest seen long term. And that is exactky what ZOS wants as well - reliable income for years to come - so it is a win-win situation - just not for hardcore players.

    You have it so backwards sometimes.

    so basically in a nut shell: hardcore players,pvp fanatics,and streamers picked the wrong game to invest in. not arguing just interpreting.

    Of course they did - like Mr. Firor said lately, this is not the typical MMO but more of an expansive online Elder Scrolls RPG. And that is what it is going to be, you expect the wrong thing, if you think it will ever be something else.

    He has said so many things, and constantly changes their agenda when they realize they can't accomplish anything. This is no different then stating their "MMO" is different than traditional MMOs. How so Matt/Lysette? Different because you're designing a single player experience but charging cash shop items that mimic an MMO?

    Different as in "having no end game" - you guys are just not getting it - there is no end game and never will be - you might get an arena - another hamster cage for you to run in for a little while longer - but in fact ESO is a role playing game, an online version of an Elder Scrolls RPG - in that it is not a typical MMO. That ESO still has this hamster cage in Cyrrodil is just because it is still making some extra cash - if it will do that no longer, it might cease to be a PvP zone, who can say that now - you guys say, you will eventually leave, and think that is a threat - it is not, they might wait for you to actually do it. They cannot kick you out because you have paid for the game and are customers, but you are not the desired kind of customer, that's for certain. The whole game development is showing this.

    The problem is, the Dev team hints at going in a certain direction (usually to appeal to both PvE & PvP) but then they go in a completely different direction without any discussion with the players that play their game...

    Did it ever come to your mind, that ZOS has the data - they can actually see, where most players are and what they are doing most of the time - if it would be pvp, then they would cater for this more - but as it seems, it is not pvp, despite that this kind of people cry the loudest in the forum - in actual numbers they just seem to be insignificant, not worth the hassle. They are still providing some income, so you pvp guys will get some bread crumbs from time to time, but that's it. Otherwise it is an online role playing game based on the PvE and role play crowd - because, you might not believe it, they are the majority and they will stick with the game and not bail out for the next big hype, like you guys will do - bail and invade the next thing like a swarm of locusts, make people there miserable with your poison until it will be time for the locusts to bail and swarm to the next hype - and you think, you guys are preferred customers?- Now, get real.

    FENG RUSH makes one fatal mistake in his assessment of ESO... not all of us are "Long Term MMO Players".. many MANY of us are "Long Term TES Players"

    But overall... He's pretty spot on with his criticisms.

    this statement sheds some light of why the game has become what it is. Seems a majority of players are PVE/RP players who want another Skyrim experience. So with this said, as long as ZOS fixes what is wrong and affects the casual player roaming the wilderness in a quick fashion then they can put everything else on a backburner.

    PVP balance and lag will not be fixed. The PVP community has come to realize this and did so a long time ago.

    It's funny how he says that all players want aoe caps removed, than in fact only a small minority wants them to be removed. The minority who thinks sticking on the crown and spam steel tornado/proxy det/purge/vigor/... is the highlight of PvP and that large scale PvP is the work of the devil. Yeah... congratulation... bombzergs aren't better than zergs in my opinion. And I don't miss the fotm batswarm DK meta like he does probably.

    Pretty sad, instead of helping ZOS to balance the classes these "pro players" want ZOS to balance the game around their playstile which means being able to 1vs20 again so that they get more subscriptions on twitch and youtube. That is not better PvP. It is only better PvP for THEM and NOT for the majority of people and ZOS probably knows that (actually I hope that they know).
    I used to think that PvP was a tragedy, but now I realize, it's a comedy.

    Most of the complaints by the streaming hardcore is all about what will be good for them.

    When "Rangers" groups are recruiting for ranger3, every single one of them is just someone trying to enjoy pvp and not aoe bombed by Fengrush and Essa. That's a heck of a lot of people to sacrafice so Fengrush can make a video extolling his amazingness as their expense.

    For casuals the game content will not run out anytime soon - they simply are not gamers who would consume a game like it would be melting ice cream. They do not burn through the content like being on speed and they do not run around like squirrels from quest to quest - they try to enjoy their time in Tamriel, without stress or the insane idea, that endgame would be what the game would be about - it is not - that what hardcore gamers see as a necessary evil - the PvE content - that is their game. And that Pvp content is not much more than a necessary evil, because they will most likely never get to it anyway.

    This game can perfectly live on for many years to come, paid solely by casual players - they might not play a lot, they will as well not be a burden on the servers, but they are willing to keep up a subscription for years to come - because that is what they want - enjoyable entertainment to get back to, whenever they have a couple of hours. They do not seek a challenge, but entertainment, something to get away from reality for a bit - so they stay subscribed, because this is the cheapest seen long term. And that is exactky what ZOS wants as well - reliable income for years to come - so it is a win-win situation - just not for hardcore players.

    so basically in a nut shell: hardcore players,pvp fanatics,and streamers picked the wrong game to invest in. not arguing just interpreting.

    Of course they did - like Mr. Firor said lately, this is not the typical MMO but more of an expansive online Elder Scrolls RPG. And that is what it is going to be, you expect the wrong thing, if you think it will ever be something else.

    He has said so many things, and constantly changes their agenda when they realize they can't accomplish anything. This is no different then stating their "MMO" is different than traditional MMOs. How so Matt/Lysette? Different because you're designing a single player experience but charging cash shop items that mimic an MMO?

    Different as in "having no end game" - you guys are just not getting it - there is no end game and never will be - you might get an arena - another hamster cage for you to run in for a little while longer - but in fact ESO is a role playing game, an online version of an Elder Scrolls RPG - in that it is not a typical MMO. That ESO still has this hamster cage in Cyrrodil is just because it is still making some extra cash - if it will do that no longer, it might cease to be a PvP zone, who can say that now - you guys say, you will eventually leave, and think that is a threat - it is not, they might wait for you to actually do it. They cannot kick you out because you have paid for the game and are customers, but you are not the desired kind of customer, that's for certain. The whole game development is showing this.

    The problem is, the Dev team hints at going in a certain direction (usually to appeal to both PvE & PvP) but then they go in a completely different direction without any discussion with the players that play their game...

    Did it ever come to your mind, that ZOS has the data - they can actually see, where most players are and what they are doing most of the time - if it would be pvp, then they would cater for this more - but as it seems, it is not pvp, despite that this kind of people cry the loudest in the forum - in actual numbers they just seem to be insignificant, not worth the hassle. They are still providing some income, so you pvp guys will get some bread crumbs from time to time, but that's it. Otherwise it is an online role playing game based on the PvE and role play crowd - because, you might not believe it, they are the majority and they will stick with the game and not bail out for the next big hype, like you guys will do - bail and invade the next thing like a swarm of locusts, make people there miserable with your poison until it will be time for the locusts to bail and swarm to the next hype - and you think, you guys are preferred customers?- Now, get real.

    Thank you for NOT moving the discussion forward but rather accusing me as a "locust" who feels like a preferred customer. I could care LESS about what ZOS thinks of me as a player, because frankly they don't even care lol. do they care about you? Nope, not you either. I don't plan on quitting this game either because I don't ONLY pvp. So again, thank you for your opinion as that is all it is (even though it is wrong as I'll be playing this game for years). I applaud you for looking like an entitled PvE'er. You keep avoiding those red circles bro! I didn't even know a PvE player could come off as entitled, but you sure proved me wrong. Maybe you should join some of these "locusts" you're so afraid of, you would fit right in!

    I just now realized that the majority of people left are skyrim players. Well I have something for you. This isn't that type of game. Now don't get me wrong I absolutely loved skyrim, but ESO isn't skyrim. So there should be good pvp and things to do at end game. It shouldn't just be an RP quester game. It's an MMO!

    They are trying to make the game better for themselves

    Most of the complaints by the streaming hardcore is all about what will be good for them.

    When "Rangers" groups are recruiting for ranger3, every single one of them is just someone trying to enjoy pvp and not aoe bombed by Fengrush and Essa. That's a heck of a lot of people to sacrafice so Fengrush can make a video extolling his amazingness as their expense.

    Your comment on 'hardcore' streamers is probably close to truth, but while I generally dislike Fengrush, his TG rant video is spot on.

    It's harsh criticism for sure, but the really nice critisim is being ignored as well.

    Hey man I've seen the vid and am completely on Fengrush's side here. But you can't deny the fact that we are again moaning for something to be done to pvp.

    This Game I want to be playing for years to come but it seems to me that it will be every few months or so.

    But I do play the game when there is no other game out there that keeps me interested.

    I'm sick of dealing with bugs every big patch and then ZOS has to clean the bugs up during the months till the next. Then we will have to deal more bugs after the next big patch.

    The great cycle continues of big patch notes and bugs every so month.

    Remember folks keep the ball rolling cause someday that ball will stop for good!!!!
