Ever since early 2015 to early 2016, it seemed the game is going to be heading into the right direction and become more Elder Scrolls like. But after this game started focusing on pure grinding, it just kind of died to me. It seemed the developers decided to take "just another average MMO" route, instead of "another Elder Scrolls game" route.
Writing is horrid, dialogue could be written by a 12 years old, story is rushed through, cliched and filled with embarassing comic relief. Sadly, this sentence makes up for a huge portion of the game. I had really hoped they would improve their writing in DLCs, but main stories in Orsinium, Dark Brotherhood and Thieves Gulid prove that all they do is apply a generic story, then provide a random twist to it. Nothing has changed, nothing will change. I refuse to even visit ESO's Morrowind under these circumstances.
All other zones are pretty much the same, with reskinned environments, but ultimately the same objectives. Gameplay stands out a bit, but is plagued by animation cancelling, horrid balance and a depressing gameplay philosophy from Mr W. At the end of the day, this game is nothing but grind. It's just that here, in ESO, you're - arguably - not grinding mobs, but low-quality quests that you will only remember if you do them three times over (and, of course, the quests are, at the same time, just a bunch of fetch quests and kill quests). It's just not interesting if you're looking for something more than average.
MMO genre, at the moment, is a mess. I'm sad that Zenimax has the resources to do something about it, but they don't try to do anything. Even in 2014, they could've become literal kings of the genre, but they started making a 2008 MMO in 2008, and released it in 2014.
It's funny how Bethesda is trying so hard to appeal to wider masses nowadays, but ultimately fails. ESO is generic as hell and it seemes the devs have accepted its fate and decided they would not go for the Elder Scrolls feel (because, hey, the lore is enough, right? r-r-r-right?), Elder Scrolls Legends is a fail that only a few thousand people are playing, Fallout 4 was way behind for its time. It is ridiculous how out of all the games published by Bethesda, Fallout Shelter stands out the most when it comes to comparison with its competition. And it's garbage.
The thing that stands out the most is the justice system, but even the latter is unfinished, grindy and quickly becomes old.

I get the feeling you have no idea what to do to make a great MMORPG, do you? If you do, why not make one?

Greetings community.
I am a very new member to have arrived at this community and to Elder Scrolls Online.
This is my very first time having contact with ESO as a MMORPG, before i played World of Warcraft, when i stated to some people even real life friends that i left WoW they told me that something was wrong with me. Are they right saying that? Maybe or maybe not. At the present day i know that WoW has become stale, a themed park MMORPG, it's not fun for me anymore...or simply i am the guilty one because i can't keep up with the content. What i feel as a person is that the last time i logged to WoW the magic that i felt before wasn't there anymore.
Am i searching for a replacement to that game? Yes of course, i love MMORPG's, i love that this genre attracts me by it's lore, characters, bosses, dungeons, social interaction, scenarios/landscapes, etc..something that is attractive to me as a player, i played Oblivion, Skyrim and i love those games so i am willing to give ESO a go and maybe i was missing out on a really good game, who knows?
It's not a easy change, it's not easy to change from a game that i consider to be or that was for many years my favorite MMORPG to this, at first impression, also great game.
Honestly i think that WoW and ESO are different in many ways and when playing both games they have a different feel in my opinion.
I wish to ask first of all your help and advice about the Nightblade class. Is there a specific race that fits more as Nightblade? Also is there guides or a website that can show me reliable and updated builds for the different classes?
I also wished to ask the community, to all those willing to reply, what do you think of ESO? What are your feelings about the game?
I've read and heard some video reviews about the game stating that it had a rough launch because of bugs and other issues (what game doesn't have issues?) but since then it improved leaps and bounds, is this true?
(This i have read on steam forums and i don't know if it's true or not) Is ESO a game where the social aspect is not encouraged or is it ignored by players?
Final question and sorry for the long post.
Do you think that ESO, since launch until the present day, has become a good or a very good MMORPG or not good at all? Is there potential for this game to grow and to keep improving?
Thank you all.

In zone chat you will never have a problem finding people willing to go on about something, unless you play around maybe like 3-5AM EST after most US players have hit the hay but most Oceanic players haven't gotten on yet. Guilds are easy to find, guilds that exist purely for trade in the guild stores system are generally not very sociable, PvE/PvP guilds are a mixed bag but generally a little talkative at least, social oriented and roleplay guilds are easy to find and can chew your ear off but may not be the best for finding players to tackle harder content with.(This i have read on steam forums and i don't know if it's true or not) Is ESO a game where the social aspect is not encouraged or is it ignored by players?

I wish to thank you all for the feedback...even the one that is less optimistic about this game.
I see that many people don't agree or don't like the crown store...personally i don't mind it, very few MMORPG's these days don't have a store of some sort where people can or not (matter of choice) spend real money or even game money/gems/crowns to obtain cosmetic items, mounts etc...
I will probably use the store for sure because the cosmetic items, housing and mounts etc interest me.
World of Warcraft is played by millions of players with a monthly subscription model and it also has a store with items and mounts, that doesn't make it better or worse than any other MMORPG and i think the same applies to ESO.
What i don't like at all is the store model that exists within the so called free to play MMORPG called SWTOR, in there if you willing to spend money you can have an advantage in comparison to other players, and if you do it lifts of certain limitations.
What i like in games like ESO is that it's not Pay to Win, you can spend money, real money but only if you chose to. Bethesda/Zenimax stopped the monthly sub model, maybe it was because it was driving people away or just to be different from others but i love that they did so so they have to implement other system that brings them profit...it's a normal thing, same a any company out there on the video game industry or not.
I feels funny to see in this and any other game out there people expressing hate towards it or a dislike of huge proportions or that the game is going down to the ground but still here they are playing it.
I really think this game can and will become better but we the community are one very important aspect for that to happen so let's be positive and put the hate aside...it's not good for you.

So, tell me please, are you living in a world of pink ponies and rainbows? When you get fired on your job, you feel happy and everything will be nice? When you have no money even to buy good and high-quality foof, you smile and get positive, yea? When you, as citizen of your faity-tale country pay for all politicians' mistakes, you just put hate aside and thanks god for the sun above?
People, especially like me, playing not 1-2 months and wondering why everyone is complaining, these people saw the whole game history, since Beta until nowadays. And we absolutely full rights to complain, hate and be not pisitive when after 3 years of being loyal players which spent a lot of time and money for this game, we get... This? When my the main and only one character is stamblade and now he is even underground? Because roleplayers and casual players are crying about they can't do vMA or vet content? They don't need this part of content. If yiu want do it, then work hard, as everyone. "Elite" players been the same casual players, same low level people, poking mobs with auto attack. Snd if you work for result, then people with pleasure would help you. Like we always help new persons which were invited to our vet trials' runs.
Because of such people as you, which are not able to say "no", which don't want to admit real situation, turn on brains and open eyes, which think that everything is funny/happy/awesome and etc., because of it developers do such things. By "things" I mean having no solid plan and ruining game. Argue with me or not, I know and sure what I'm talking about. Until developers get their money from Crown Store, from Morrowing pre-orders, until they will see that there're people fully supporting them and writing only positive posts like "ZOS, we love you, ZOS, thank you, ZOS, I love patch notes" and ignorng promlems, hidding from them, until this our game we love and want to play gonna be worse and worse.
And Crown Store is a cancer here. For last year they did 2 things:
1. A lot of CS updates (hello, crates which is cancer of cancer), Housing and money making things.
2. Several small borng DLC, 1T (with huge nerfing) and now Morrowing (with Extra huge nerfing except mSorcs).
So, why Crown Store if developing, improving (except bringing random to real money, crates = casino), and game itself is getting worse? Housing is a drop in an ocean, and solves nothing of problems we have.

I am not to counter argument with you...seems as you say in your post that you know and are sure about what your talking so i respect your opinion.
Just don't judge other person character, by saying "Because of such people as you, which are not able to say "no", which don't want to admit real situation, turn on brains and open eyes, which think that everything is funny/happy/awesome..." it give the impression that you know my personality or who or how i am, don't do that you don't know me so that you can have the right to judge me.
I know perfectly that out there in the world nothing is pink and rainbows, nothing is given.
I fight everyday to push forward and to be always motivated about something.
The world is not all roses and pink but myself i chose to make it so that everyday for me can be the best possible.
Enjoy life my friend it is too short to keep biching and moaning about your opinion that you think it's right about devs of this game keep screwing the game over and over...again it is your opinion and yes maybe just maybe a few out there like it the way it is.
Ever since early 2015 to early 2016, it seemed the game is going to be heading into the right direction and become more Elder Scrolls like. But after this game started focusing on pure grinding, it just kind of died to me. It seemed the developers decided to take "just another average MMO" route, instead of "another Elder Scrolls game" route.
Writing is horrid, dialogue could be written by a 12 years old, story is rushed through, cliched and filled with embarassing comic relief. Sadly, this sentence makes up for a huge portion of the game. I had really hoped they would improve their writing in DLCs, but main stories in Orsinium, Dark Brotherhood and Thieves Gulid prove that all they do is apply a generic story, then provide a random twist to it. Nothing has changed, nothing will change. I refuse to even visit ESO's Morrowind under these circumstances.
All other zones are pretty much the same, with reskinned environments, but ultimately the same objectives. Gameplay stands out a bit, but is plagued by animation cancelling, horrid balance and a depressing gameplay philosophy from Mr W. At the end of the day, this game is nothing but grind. It's just that here, in ESO, you're - arguably - not grinding mobs, but low-quality quests that you will only remember if you do them three times over (and, of course, the quests are, at the same time, just a bunch of fetch quests and kill quests). It's just not interesting if you're looking for something more than average.
MMO genre, at the moment, is a mess. I'm sad that Zenimax has the resources to do something about it, but they don't try to do anything. Even in 2014, they could've become literal kings of the genre, but they started making a 2008 MMO in 2008, and released it in 2014.
It's funny how Bethesda is trying so hard to appeal to wider masses nowadays, but ultimately fails. ESO is generic as hell and it seemes the devs have accepted its fate and decided they would not go for the Elder Scrolls feel (because, hey, the lore is enough, right? r-r-r-right?), Elder Scrolls Legends is a fail that only a few thousand people are playing, Fallout 4 was way behind for its time. It is ridiculous how out of all the games published by Bethesda, Fallout Shelter stands out the most when it comes to comparison with its competition. And it's garbage.
The thing that stands out the most is the justice system, but even the latter is unfinished, grindy and quickly becomes old.
Just a reminder that there will never be no:
- spellcrafting
- jewelrycrafting
- crafting that actually matters
- diving
- sailing
- justice system pt. 2
- enjoyable housing
- enjoyable barber shop
- enjoyable and rewarding gear acquisition
- a stable pvp in cyrodiil
- pressure-free balance changes where you are not afraid of devs ruining your gaming life for the next 3 months
- a traditional arena-based pvp (4v4v4, lol)
- activities (as in horse racing)
- events with any kind of depth whatsoever (birthday, halloween, christmas and april fools were all shallow and boring)
- fix to animation cancelling, because it's a "feature"
- actual fun when playing with friends (ever since 2014, there have been ZERO memorable moments, that we would look and laugh upon in the future)

@Ozstryker Yet all you can give me is a one liner that is useful to literally noone except your ego.

Because of such people as you, which are not able to say "no", which don't want to admit real situation, turn on brains and open eyes, which think that everything is funny/happy/awesome and etc., because of it developers do such things. By "things" I mean having no solid plan and ruining game. Argue with me or not, I know and sure what I'm talking about. Until developers get their money from Crown Store, from Morrowing pre-orders, until they will see that there're people fully supporting them and writing only positive posts like "ZOS, we love you, ZOS, thank you, ZOS, I love patch notes" and ignorng promlems, hidding from them, until this our game we love and want to play gonna be worse and worse.
And Crown Store is a cancer here. For last year they did 2 things:
1. A lot of CS updates (hello, crates which is cancer of cancer), Housing and money making things.
2. Several small borng DLC, 1T (with huge nerfing) and now Morrowing (with Extra huge nerfing except mSorcs).
So, why Crown Store if developing, improving (except bringing random to real money, crates = casino), and game itself is getting worse? Housing is a drop in an ocean, and solves nothing of problems we have.
I am not to counter argument with you...seems as you say in your post that you know and are sure about what your talking so i respect your opinion.
Just don't judge other person character, by saying "Because of such people as you, which are not able to say "no", which don't want to admit real situation, turn on brains and open eyes, which think that everything is funny/happy/awesome..." it give the impression that you know my personality or who or how i am, don't do that you don't know me so that you can have the right to judge me.
I know perfectly that out there in the world nothing is pink and rainbows, nothing is given.
I fight everyday to push forward and to be always motivated about something.
The world is not all roses and pink but myself i chose to make it so that everyday for me can be the best possible.
Enjoy life my friend it is too short to keep biching and moaning about your opinion that you think it's right about devs of this game keep screwing the game over and over...again it is your opinion and yes maybe just maybe a few out there like it the way it is.
My words can sound rude, but I prefer to tell what I think with arguments, even if it's not funny to hear. People prefrr to hide behind jokes instead of facing real problems and truth.
If there is a poblem, I'm not gonna sit and wait or make visibility of that everything is fine. You know, being exremely polite is a good thing, but without solid position you'll never be heard. That's why I react so much about those who is talking here "stop complaining", "don't listen to these agruing idiots" or "this game is perfect in all ways". Because these people simple don't know what are they talking about.
For first months, or even a year I had the same feeling. Open world, so many possibilities, a lot of ways to improve and grow, new cintent to open... Yes, everything is true. Until you complete it and make a step into end-game content. Because you can't make quests forever - one day you'll complete most part of them.
So, I just did as you described: enjoy my life. ESO took some nerves, money and a lot of time for me.
Nowadays it gives no pleasure. And the only think I can do with my stamblsde is doing some daylies. Playing vet trials knowing you're already buried is impossible.
ESO, the game is became after 3 years doesn't worth it now. I'd gladly continue to play it, since TES lore is my favourite one. Like I fell in love in this game 3 years ago.
