Mixing MMO Players with Single Player Game Players....

This is a common recurring issue that I have been noticing on the forums. MMO players understand tank, healer, dps, and expansions seemingly a lot better then single player game players.

All of this is fine, but I don't think I have ever seen such fully diverse community in any MMO that I have ever played.

1. For all u single game players out there, this is an MMO. Not an elder scrolls multiplayer game.

2. MMO players understand what an expansion is, and are very happy when 1 comes out, and are willing to pay extra for major content additions.

3. And now to all the group content problems on the forums, is cause most of you single game players don't understand the (Trinity) group composition. Yes CP plays a part in this, but it is mainly just the MMO learning curve that is the main problem.

I could give many steps to help single player game players out there, but that's not exactly the point I'm trying to make. The simple thing I'm trying to say is this is an MMO, with an elder scrolls overlay. Not an elder scrolls game with an MMO overlay.

    You do realise single-player games had expansions before MMOs even existed right?

    Single-player games also have Trinity mechanics. There are plenty of RPGs where you control a full party, or one character who is part of a party.

    Yes, it's an MMO, but kinda unique and different from other MMOs in some ways.

    Love the single player TES games. Never had any interest in MMOs. Tried a few and quickly got bored with them.

    ESO feels like a completely different animal. And Cyrodiil captures something of the unpredictable sandbox feeling of the single player games. I suppose for me it's not so much an RPG, more like a kind of open world siege warfare game set in the Elder Scrolls universe.

    Obviously there is some special content for groups but there are also many who enjoy this game more playing solo, myself included.

    Not all "MMO" players were satisfied with the expansion.

    Please don't make generalizations.
    Make PC NA raiding great again!

    Plays another MMO. The game does not have healers, dps or tanks. So the whole concept is foreign to me.

    When 3D based MMORPGS began there was more than a tank, dps, and healer. Crowd Control use to be considered part of the Trinity and stood out on its own.
