You know what? The way you describe ZOS, it's almost as if...as if they are human. Here I was holding them to the expectation that everything they release should be absolutely perfect and cater to all my hopes. No. I choose not to believe they are human. That's not possible. *Sarcasm*

Expecting a company to follow a consistent set of standards throughout their operation and release consistently valuable content is perfectly reasonable, especially when we've all paid to be here in some form or another. If anything, your constant attacks on anyone who has anything even slightly negative, even if constructive, to say about the current state of affairs is more needlessly negative than the type of players @MasterSpatula described.
Nobody is expecting the moon and stars from ZoS; we all should be expecting that which they've already promised.

Yeah, there's the occasional "I quit six months ago and only come here to make fun of you guys for still playing," because there's always a-holes. For the most part, people who actually take the time and effort to post here are people who enjoy the game, care about the game, and want to see the game improve..

Interesting. Please elaborate on these "promises" ZOS has not upheld...I'm waiting.

For the sake of not derailing the thread into the various ways I feel ZoS has been less than satisfactory, I'll decline that request. There are plenty of threads where we can--and have--discussed that matter. My point here is that there is a fine line between discussing the game's flaws as a community and berating players for having any criticisms or qualms with the game at all (in all of our encounters, I've usually seen you do the latter). You should stop.
If the sole purpose of your posting is to try and besmirch the OP or claim that the thread shouldn't have been created, then you should just stop. That isn't conducive to a healthy dialogue, it is authoritarian and unnecessary. These conversations are vital.

heres a few quotes
"armor you can make will allways be better then what is dropped"
"you will never have to pay for any new content if you have a valid subscription"
"we are tracking every bit of XP you have earned, when we go to the CP system all of you will be far ahead of the curve"
"there will never be Large size Bosses in TESO, we will be sticking to the elderscrolls size's"
"we just do not have any plans to ever be buy to play nor free to play, it's just not what we will ever do"
"we do not have any plans to expand to consoles, it's just not in our future"
this list goes on and on and on ...

I think it's very conducive to the discussion to point out that so many people claim ZOS has not fulfilled some "promise", yet not a single person can point out a single broken promise. Nothing but high expectations based on no foundation whatsoever, and outrage when that expectation isn't met. It's very popular to attack ZOS with disrespectful language as if they aren't hardworking men and women wanting the best for ESO. Oh, but how dare I criticize a single all important gamer. Shame on me.

I would like to take part in turning these forums around to make them more "new player" friendly as I can say that each time I come to visit here I just find my self depressed. The game is fantastic. It is one of the best mmorpgs of all time as far as I can say. ZOS did a real fine job and continue to make things better and better.
I guess you can say that the more negative and volatile these forums are directly reflect how passionate the player base is, and if that is true, then everyone here is extremely passionate. I just wish the majority could be a little more constructive.

I actually don't remember the thing about Boss sizes or never going to console, but I remember every one of the others.
ZoS despises this forum. They make it painfully obvious with every video they make.
Honestly, they should. The majority of forum users are addicted to a video game on an unhealthy level. Prowling forums at work and even taking breaks while playing to check them. The forum community is very toxic. Just like any addiction, users are bitter.
