    1) CP System

    2) Bugs
    • Abilities not firing off
    • Enemies melding into terrain and un-attackable
    • Loading screens after rezzing in Cyrodiil from being in a group

    3) Performance

    4) Cyrodiil Performance

    5) Abilities not firing off

    When the combat isn't smooth 99% of the time, it is a huge turn off.

    6) Matt Firor

    7) Length of bugs not fixed or problems unfixed

    1) Slow Sneak Speeds!
    the sneak speeds are WAY TOO SLOW! and still are to this day!
    2) refuse to give us followers that go with us everywhere we go, including PvP.
    3) unable to have same damage output and survivability on my stamina nightblade as the sorcerers and dragonights and templars,
    we stamina nightblades just dont have what the other classes have in damage output and survivability and i hate it.

    These are really weird reasons. Actually loading screens aren't long they are very short in fact. Major bugs? Didn't notice any major, minor yes, but major means game would be unplayable. RNG is a cool thing, let us to constantly search for the one and only pearl among the trash, and appreciate when others are lucky and we are not :). I like this game very much and will never leave because of the game itself. If I'd leave, it will be my life's reason or other more interesting game than eso. But so far I dind't find such.

    1. Lagg
    2. Unbalance.

    To expand on reason #2, like I mentioned in another thread.

    The meta usually changes when major patches hit live, but they dont just change the meta, they shift the balance so grossly that certain builds and classes become so subpar youre better of just not playing said class/build until balance evens out or shifts again. (PVP POV)

    I don't leave games, I just log into different games more frequently. The games are still on my hard drive and available for whenever I get the itch to play them.

    With that out of the way, what is the point to a thread like this? Pity party?

    2. Destruction staff ultimate eye morph. Got hit with a 48k plus 3 gap closers and a SAP essence. Same person. Not OK.
    3. The unnecessary grind. 12 characters. The mages guild and undaunted grind so i can be competitive is long of you don't play for 6 hours a day.

    Bots and absence of in-game GMs or support
    Chapters and the changing of the terms for Crowns already purchased.

    .. but I haven't logged in much since mid December. The last time I did I just stood there in town for half an hour and logged out.

    The exponential streak cost increase was the first thing that seriously made me consider quitting, no other change has before or since. I got over it though. The only other thing is logging on and not knowing what to do, which amounts to burn-out, but this is something that comes and goes and doesn't make me want to leave, just take a break. What stops me from leaving is the investment I have in the game; I simply have too much to lose now lol.

    No. Because it might have been related to the discovery/quality/novelty of FO4 and not ESO-related at all.

    1) Lag
    2) Lag
    3) Lag

    RNG in this game is stupid, the amount of time it takes for bugs to get fixed is frustrating, but with the lag getting so bad for me, I may not have much of a choice anymore whether I am going to continue playing or not. Right now, it's NEAR unplayable, but I predict that, if nothing is done to fix this issue, when Morrowind comes out it WILL be unplayable. At that point, I will have no choice but to go somewhere else.

    I really hope they fix the lag issue.

    1) Too much RNG on gearing.
    2) Too much Grind for crafting even the simplest of things.
    3) Crown Store prices at least double what they should reasonably be.

    1) Horrible RNG in everything: Gear, crafting, rewards.

    2) Problem with DPS builds: Basically you can't do acceptable damage if you don't follow "some build" or you don't farm specific gear.

    3) Crafting has become irrelevant. Might be tied to the absurd Crown Store prices.

    I actually did leave for the following reasons.

    1. Cheating / Exploiting
    2. Crown Crates (showing of disdain towards customers)
    3. Toxic community (that I was part of)

    However I ended up coming back because life is too short to stress over stuff in a video game, now I do what's fun, ignore the bad stuff as it's out of my control and enjoy the game for what it is.

    Bonus top 3 reasons I started playing ESO more than ever:
    2. Removing VRs. Although the power-creep with CPs has a somewhat questionable future, if feels like a less doomed system with more flexibility for tweaking.

    Personally I see CP as being the same as VRs, just with a different name and a fancy interface to make us think we are getting more. We still end up in the same situation, a long grind to 600 and groups that don't want to know unless you are 600
