Don't believe the hate. Take it with a grain of salt. And remember, those players are STILL here playing and supporting the game directly or indirectly, so it can't be as bad as they claim. If it were they'd be posting about it on the game they are enjoying instead, not sitting around like a ghost on a game they don't play.
Here's a realistic take, from someone who actually came back about a month ago:
I decided to come back after playing the WoW: Legion expansion. I had my fill of Tabtarget MMOs (had recently played in Everquest 1's progression server, EQ2, and WoW), and wished to return to an action MMO. My choices were ESO and Tera. Both decent games with their own pros and cons.
I settled on ESO since I wanted a more.. realistic and western style game.
Since I've been back, I've enjoyed myself. The Tamriel Unlimited as its called, or One Tamriel Patch allows us to play in any zone at any level and do just about any dungeon at any level with anyone. This was a great boon. It means I can play with friends who have varying levels (who also came back), as well as play any alts I wish.
One of my pet peeves with the game was the VR system where you get to 50.. 'beat the game' and then do it all over again from another faction's view. You had to as well.. to go from VR1-14. That sucked and I quit because of it. Now I don't have to go back and do the other areas. And if I decide to, I can do them in any order I choose. That issue was mitigated and I'm free to progress in the game how I wish.
What I've done is bought the subscription. You get 1500 crowns a month, a crafting bag, and some bonus exp for everything you do. You also get the DLC's for free while subbed. So I recommend this. The crowns make the sub basically free. The crafting bag is a god send. The exp bonus is just a thin layer of icing on the cake.
Personally I don't see a point to buying the DLC's. Yes, the sub cost is more expensive over the long run. But the other perks make it better as well. If you plan to have multiple alts and crafters, it might pay for itself.
Other's have brought up issues such as bugs and glitches. The game is actually pretty solid. My only issue on this front is a sever hiccup due to the over abundance of players. Make no mistake.. this is a popular game.
As for claims of a cashgrab. I haven't seen it. Everything in the crownstore is either an inferior (to crafted) consumable, or vanity items. Those Elks and Storm Atronach mounts that everyone wishes were cheaper, are not needed to play the game. I doubt anyone has been passed over in a group or guild over someone who spent crowns on something. So to say that Zenimax is being greedy is ridiculous. Sounds like the greed is on the player end when players are envious when they see players riding on something they themselves don't have and perhaps cannnot afford or do not wish to pay such price.
They'd have more of a point if they said this a year ago about DLC's or Members getting access to content. Course.. why didn't they say something 20 years ago when the first game expansions were released? But they are entitled to their opinions, as astigmatic as those opinions might be.
Okay, I'm ready to buy this again! Questions:
I have a PS4. How is that server? Full?
Dungeons...the dungeon queue SUCKED when I played it before. How is it now??
