Hi everyone,

just curious to get a sense of what you people like the most about ESO, what really makes you play.

Even if there is more than one reason, vote on the one you would consider highest on your priority list.

Thank you and Regards!

    The PVP aspect is incredibly fun (when its working and not bugged the hell out like it is now) However people adapt and we use zergs to beat this.. haha!

    If I could, I would have included the setting and lore alongside gameplay.

    Gameplay.

    I'll admit I was drawn to the game for the setting/lore but stuck around because I enjoy the mechanics and gameplay.

    Two elements first is gameplay, second is friends, this is usually combined.

    Back before one tamriel we did an roflmao stunt. We was only 7-8, bit to few to do much serious action and two was level 10-15, so we used the low levels as a trap in an ambush. Lady undressed and danced for guy who /lute
    I complained as this was an too obvious trap.
    but everybody fell for it, one idiot managed to fall for it twice, finally they managed to send out an an large group and pretty much wiped us :) Not something you see every day.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    I voted actual game play. By this I mean...I play the game mostly solo. So pve content. But I'm also in it for the setting and lore.

    Dungeons but watching money grow is fun. Now though I might go with crafter or decorator. I am sure I can be a gardener now. <3

    Playing with friends/acquaintances
    Thanks for your insights!

    The fun gameplay, despite several issues with it that have been long identified and discussed, is an important factor, but I must say that what really keeps me going is playing with people I know in real life and some other whom I've only met in-game.

    Of course then, for me, there's also the ES setting, of course :smiley:

    I... can't vote. :(

    I fit into more than one of those categories, OP; and I'm sure many people do as well.

    I play for:

    - The Elder Scrolls theme and Lore
    - The PvE Questing and open-world exploration that I love from the single-player series.
    - The Delves and Group Dungeons (I so love going through the Delves. Those ar emy favorite dungeons in the game, and I never tire of them. :D)
    - I play to support and grow the Guild I started (link is in my sig if anyone wants to check it out after this shameless pimp).
    - I play to RP with my wife and son, and for the aesthetics of the various Motifs, and to sell my crafting expertise to those who may need it.
    - I play for the Trading, because it's a good method of making Gold on the side

    I, my wife, and my family, play for pretty much everything about the game EXCEPT for the PvP (I despise PvP in any form in MMORPG's, and think that PvP is a cancer on the genre. But that's just my opinion).

    So I can't vote, because I can't pigeon-hole myself into one of the categories of your poll. I loves my MMO's, and as is shown in my sig, I've been playing them since before they were their own separate genre. There's so many reasons I play MMO's in general, and specifically ESO; that I couldn't possibly narrow it down to just one aspect.

    I would have gone for gameplay if pve was separate from pvp, as i dont really do the latter.
