How would you guys rate the integrity of this game?

Every MMO to date seems to have had its bad time. Some fix it, others don't. And even those that "fix" the problem, never really fix the damage it caused. A good example is how literally hundreds of thousands of dollars in APEX were duped in Archeage soon after its release.

I have a hard time playing an MMO game- where the status of my character is supposed to be comparable in the world... Knowing that a handful of people out there made it (or are making it) through exploits and hacks.

So i ask you guys, what do you think?

If you're looking for a game to compare yourself (or character) to others on an even footing ESO is not the right game.

There have been far too many cases of bugs/exploits where abuse was allowed to run for a month or more and very few penalties were handed out. Additionally this isn't the right game if you're looking for a fair balanced end game where people won't abuse to get ahead.

That said I still stand by this is a good casual PvE/PvP game with fantastic story and some enjoyable mechanics.

For any type of competitive gameplay where you can get yourself to the best in rankings etc. and know it's on a level playing field never look for an MMO. MOBA/FPS etc. are far more balanced/patched/cared for than any MMO ever will be.

Love this game even with all of it's warts.

I think one of the things ZOS did right was to make all classes and skills available to all factions. Having played games where that wasn't the case, I can testify that in those games, there was a LOT more whining about balance. And the whines actually had some merit, because there were races and skills you simply might not have access to depending on your faction.

After pvp in DAoC and Warhammer Online, balance threads here just make me want to LOL.

Is there room for improvement? Sure. But the game builds from a very solid foundation.
