I'm not a streamer. My internet connection doesn't allow that xD
thank goodness !! so what do you do then?
I play the game and hang out with the more chill, fun ESO streamers and former streamers. People that aren't interested in being the best but just want to play the game. I also lead a guild in game.
wow you sound normal! you mean you dont talk about 1vX experience or 1vX montage as if anything else is beneath you ?
I hate 1vX'ers. Those montages aren't to show off how good their setup is, it's so the person who made it can stroke their e-peen.

I mean the double mundus exploits, the HIst Bark exploit among others were only possible due to certain add-ons. Also, why would anyone need an add-on to tell them when their ultimate is ready or when they need to dodge? Add-ons just dumb down the game aside from the ones that just offer quality of life features that should have already been in the game. Whereas theory crafting and maths actually allow you to perform better without having to rely on add ons that tell you everything.

Not sure how much exposure the game is actually getting these days. There are so few ESO streamers on Twitch and it comes down to the communities of a few extremely toxic, high profile players. What happens is people from those communities will go into the channel of someone who doesn't have the profile and that is just playing the game for fun and start hounding them for their choices such playing PvE or their gear setup not being "meta"

Yes exactly! and do you notice how it is beneath them to do anything which is not 1vX... My point being - 'who cares'.

I'm unaware of the politics of the streaming community, don't usually pay much attention to chat. But I do watch Jules and fengrush, and sypher occasionally if he happens to be streaming eso. I enjoy their streams and, like I said, they motivate me to play much of the time. I'm not suggesting it's good that I'm in a position where I need the motivation of streamers to play, but if they didn't stream I probably wouldn't still be playing, who knows. They seem like good guys and I can't imagine any of them endorsing the behaviour you describe, that seems like more of an issue with the wider eso community as a whole, or maybe more the twitch community, many of whom will just be kids or still have the mentality of kids. It's a shame that it happens but I don't think the main eso streamers are necessarily to blame.

Attention seeking much?
posting a thread and doing a 2 hour video is a bit different - 'much' ?
I'm suggesting that I much rather value what addon developers (PC) and guild masters do...
2 hour video? Exaggerate much?
not much - but ok thats an exxageration - it certainly felt like 2 hours lol.. i checked their youtube...
get this - there is a section '1vX - ESO PvP Montages!' - give me a break.. get over yourselves pleez
People create content so what? Im confused what your angry about here? You say you don't like them but then proceed to look at all the videos on youtube. You watch and then complain?
Why not just not watch instead of being unnecessary spiteful and jealous? Is that what it is? Your angry your not as good and can't do the things they do? Or do you get 1vX's by streamers or something a lot.
Where is this anger coming from?

Coming from the fact that he likes that add-ons dumb the game down for him and that he wants to have more add-ons to have an easy mode game where no thinking or reactions are required, instead of actually theorycrafting and showcasing playstyles. Not all streamers are PvPers (and those who are are pretty good at it). The ones who PvE are generally top of the leaderboards, so in both cases, people can learn a lot from watching streams. Or they could get an add-on that tells them when they are about to get ganked, or when there's a Crystal Frag coming their way, or when the Warrior does the Shield Throw, or when there's a color change on the Twins.

So now you are talking in the 3rd person? You do realise that most of these streamers use addons too, right?
I dont use miats in pvp - lol
Im mainly talking about addons that give more information at a glance or just plain save time, not dumb down.
Zeni allows add ons - why dont you argue with them if you have a problem with them ??

I don't have a problem with add-ons. I have a problem with people relying on add-ons to play their game for them. Most of the truly useful add-ons are things that should have been in the base game UI anyway.

And as guild master are they constantly trying to impress their guildies about 'how good they are' - yes they will have some 'fan's' but most people will leave after getting sick of the boasting
