    In looking at this poll WoW FF 14 BDO and GW2 got hammered.....that blows my mind. I think this is going to cause some desk flipping especially at Anet and Blizzard but I also think it will motivate SE to up their game.

    And to anyone who thinks that devs don't look at this poll trust me they do because they always hit the press hard when they win.


    Congrats, seems ESO won by a huge margin!

    Congratz ZOS! ESO is doing impressively well. While it does have its flaws, your business decisions have been making up for all those flaws. You've done an amazing job as a team and if you continue making great decisions the way you did so far, I can see ESO grow and prosper in the next years. But, please, for the love of RNGesus, hire someone to update ESO's itemization system to the 2017 standard (up from 2004 KalOnline Korean standard). It will be worth it in the long run!

    I'd say Pearl Abyss made the big mistake of not moving to (or associating themselves with) a western country before releasing a world-class MMO. The "Korean MMO" stamp will haunt Black Desert forever, even though the game is much more advanced than ESO, has a much better itemization system, and less hopeless grind.

    Thanks, everyone! We're so excited and honored to have been chosen as best MMO for the second year in a row :smiley:

    With the new Morrowind Chapter being released, that's probably soon going to be three years in a row.

    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    Damn 30% is pretty outstanding considering how many big contenders in the running.

    What's weird to me is how high BDO was rated. I played BDO and it seemed a bit lacking. Did they improve upon it since launch?

    Being critical of certain issues doesn't mean one doesn't support the game. ESO even with its issues is still the most entertaining MMO on the market for me. If it wasn't I wouldn't still be here.

    Congrats ZoS....Well deserved and earned!

    Asking....honestly asking

    Do you all think it's biased cause most of those are only on PC ?

    I assume it's mostly the people who visit MMORPG site regularly who participated, and I would guess most of those are on PC and have played various MMOs before.

    Keep in mind a lot of ESO players, myself included, picked it up because we are Elder Scrolls fans and this is our first MMO.

    Well technically they got 15% more of the vote, or 100% more votes, or 2x the number of votes.

    However you could say Wow got 50% fewer votes.

    And?
    Back then I played WOW during cataclysm I finally managed to get enough point to finish the set I needed to keep the shaman special totem (think sorc storm elemental) up most of the time, used some months getting there, next weak that ability was removed from set because an content update added new sets, and the new shaman set was worse so they had to nerf the previous one for people to update, no it was not OP either.
    Yes I rage quited.

    Not saying an token system would be an bad idea. Its just a feeling I get that its either the theoretical best gear and garbage
    So perhaps token but make the trait random, remove the obvious idiots training and prosperous to be nice
    :) very evil grin
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    That's actually an uncommon thing for them. ZOS almost always waits until the last moment to give us a release date, and announce it up to three days before it drops on the PTS. I actually think ZOS could do a better job at marketing the stuff they are doing right.

    If that's the case, then that's pretty smart on their part. Practically free advertising.
