Top three reasons you considered leaving.

1) RNG combat esp. via proc sets (I did leave for a while)
2) Long term unresolved major bugs
3) The permissiveness the company shows towards cheaters and exploiters

ADarklore

1) Balancing. It seems they can never balance, it just creates another pendulum of one class/attribute made better than another until the next 'balance' swings back the other way. This update it was buff Magicka, after months of Magicka being second rate to Stamina... now the pendulum swings the other way.

2) Broken quests. It seems every update they end up breaking quests that had been previously fixed, then takes weeks for them to fix again.

3) Downtime and Lag! There have been times it feels like the server crashes every other day which takes the game offline for several hours. Then, there is the lag for no reason and dropped packets in which your character moves through the world while nothing else moves, then suddenly the game catches up and you find yourself dead or you just get knocked offline. Weapon swapping with lag is also a problem, I think it has gotten worse since Homestead when they made adjustments to weapon unsheathing.

1. Toxic community
2. Entitlement babies
3. Millennials

2 & 3 can be merged since they are essentially the same thing.

1 - balance issues
2 - Lack of end game content
3 - casual community

People.

People who spend their whole time evaluating, judging, berating, advising, mocking, or otherwise trying to get other people to be the way they want.

On the other hand, my main reason for staying is... people.

People who are kind, helping, tolerant, creative, open-minded and enjoying the diversity of the game.

Not to mention everytime someone tries to ask for advice people try to make jokes of it instead of actually helping the person, every comment someone is craving attention and showing how insecure the majority in chat are.

This is exactly what many here are talking about in this very thread, you are on a path of self destruction, and it is no ones fault but your own.

Scam crates..
Bugs..
Lack of decent content ..
I have left only drop in now and then..

EnOeZ

1. Lag and PVP not evolving (nothing since IC a (still) pro-nightblade-biaised DLC)
2. Wrobel's combat design and "balance" decisions/indecisions and time to fix things (like GDB, Jesus Beam and now Destro Ult)
3. Inventory management nightmare

POps75p

1. Not being able to return something for Crown Credit that you purchased from the crown store that turned out to be something you owned
2. Now having to buy items in the Crown store for Gems vs Crowns
3. Computer Generated Help reply vs straight answers
4. Bound on Pick up for almost all of the decent items (requiring endless grinding, a complete waste of time vs doing other thing that are far more interesting

Over the last 3 years I have rage quit /uninstalled the game (and then came back later).

The 3 reasons I left were:

1. Frustration with the VR grind back in the day.
2. Frustration when Sorcs / surge / shields got nerfed and my character no longer played like it did.
3. Frustration with the gear grind at end game when I thought I had finished grinding to get to "max level" only to realize I had just started a new type of grind instead...

The reasons I came back each time was ZOS to their credit did fix some aspects of the game I did not like and made ESO a better game.

I also remembered to concentrate on doing what I liked in the game, which was mainly quietly wandering around the world and enjoying the well made world of Tamriel created.

At times it is a superb backdrop for the little stories I make up in my head.

Grunim

1. PvP community on PC NA is too small and you fight the same few people over and over and over and over again. I want to be more anonymous and have less drama when I play. Streamers have far too much influence on PvP in this game.

2. Decent PvP gear must now be grinded and you can no longer craft or buy what you need like you could in the early days of ESO. I'm afraid of level caps being raised and I've seen it happen 3 times already in my time in ESO. VR10 to VR12. Then VR12 to VR14 and finally VR14 to CP160.

3. Lack of storage space and inventory management continues to be terrible. I spend too much time managing these things

The game is gradually wearing itself out for me. There are some aspects I've already left, and some I never got into:

(1) I stopped questing around the time Orsinium came out. I remember Skyrim fondly, in part, for the storylines. With ESO that aspect ended after playing my first character to level 50. I started Orsinium, but the combat was way too easy by then. The writing seemed a notch above, but not enough to keep me interested. In truth, the writing and voice acting in Bethesda games has always been a bit of a letdown compared to the best story-driven games from the likes of Bioware. While that comparison is unfair, Bethesda have sometimes transcended the limitations of their genre when good writing and voice acting came together. This was with characters like Naryu in ESO and Serana in Skyrim for me, but it's been few and far between.

(2) I am big into PvP these days, but I never got into Cyrodiil because of the abysmal perfomance. I basically find it unplayable most times, and I abscond to IC, or back to duelling, every time I try.

(3) I never got into the highest-end content, the veteran trials and arenas either. Their difficulty seems to demand you exploit every legitimate avenue, animation cancelling, optimised rotations, and so on, that high-end players do. This is a negative for me. I find the focus on skill rotation immersion breaking. I like to pretend I'm in the world and I like reacting to it, even when I know, roughly, what the (boss) mechanics are. The immersion goes out the window when I have to focus too much on the mechanics of my build, rather than those of the environment.

1) Grinding, 2) Lag & Crashes and 3) Lack of response from ZOZ help desk!

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.

Long Loading screens are about 4m and happen in pairs. That is a long time when your group is moving to the next keep and you have to catch up 4m later in a group build.

Fighting an enemy that is invisible is a pretty major bug. Thankfully they fixed it. Fighting an enemy doubling up on the same 4s proc is pretty broke too.

The RNG? You could do VMA 2000x and not get what you want, and some people already have.

@Nebthet78 I agree 100%. I agree so much, I had to give you an awesome. xD

1) Arcade like components to Quest Boss battles that do not rely on anything other than positioning. They are not really reliant on skills. Kind of makes me feel like i am playing Zelda.

RebornV3x

1. The RNG... prosperous and training shouldn't drop in cp160 and divines and sharpened should be weighted more etc...
2. The lag and constant disconnects I disconnect everyday I have great internet and can play any other game I own with no problems.
3. The Xbox One community is horrible one of the worst mmo communities I've ever seen. If this wasn't an ESO MMO I would have left for this reason alone.

Most players are very hateful and "almost" everyone I've ever met is either really cool and friendly but bad at the game or a super elitist ass but really good at the game I rarely find people that are both friendly and good at the game. I've been in and out of so many garbage guilds I've lost count it's hard for me to be in 5 guilds at once because the people it's like I said above.

Played a few mmos and I've never had such a problem with the community and players like I have in this game.

Crown crates doesnt affect you at all if you dont want to. It has nothing to do with pay 2 win.
Magblades are actually one of the strongest atm, there just aren't any easy meta builds out there yet. So with other words, mablades suck for people who are too lazy to actually try them out. We have two magblades in our group, both of them 50-60k dps on bosses.

that person listed the reasons he saw as what he wanted to list, he did not request for a debate.

so i ask nicely, to please stop taking this thread off topic.
the title asking for people to list 3 reasons, nothing more.
it is these type of comments that upset alot of people, so please i ask nicely to please stop doing this in these types of threads.

akl77

1) technical difficulties, eg, lag, crashes
2) no enjoyable content worth playing
3) lack of improvements, eg, motif filter search, balancing issues

NightbladeMechanics

Lowered skill cap and simplified mechanics

That weapon swap "feature" that switches your weapon back and sheathes it if you swap too quickly

Friends leaving

Drdeath20

Boring unimaginative quests

Meaningless endgame content

Boring base game with no real replay value other than chasing rng and platforming.
