Personal thoughts on the game ESO after 6 weeks of playing

Pros:
- Solid game with huge amount of contents that keeps you entertained
- It has solid lore behind with all previous single player releases
- Has a lot of RP players. I don't RP but I enjoy watching RP
- Crafting is enjoyable
- So much voice acting!
- Can play like a single player game
- Subscription is optional, main reason why I decided against FF14
Neutrals:
- Community is "average". Some are hostile while others are friendly, but as a whole at neither end of the spectrum of community quality.
- Story is very average
Cons:
- Devs seem too greedy. I think they can find better ways to make more money than selling nominal things or "Expansion" at premium prices.
- Character models could use improvements
- Housing
- Too many bugs
- Too many bots
Overall, I'm happy to be part of ESO but pessimistic about the future of the game. Seeing so many bots make me wonder. so mixed feelings?
P.S. Haven't tried PvP so no opinion there.

Lavennin✭✭✭So far I find the community above average. A lot more nice people than jerks, though I know one jerk can ruin your experience. Just gotta look on the bright side (not that you haven't, this is a self-reminder as well).

HappyHaunt✭✭✭I consider ESO's community to be less 'toxic' than WoW's but moreso than FFXIV's. Of course I'm not mega social anyhow, but whatever. I will chat a bit on the PC version.
For the PS4 version I play it as much like a single player game as possible... have both chat and voice chat turned off/turned down so don't have to listen to people. XDRecently switched to Xbox EU server.

I understand this is your opinion and, as such, is subjective. I don't think ZOS (or the Devs) are greedy at all. I've had np paying for the things I want either through my ongoing sub or the crown store. To each his own, I say.
Curious what platform you are playing on? I'm PC NA and I think the graphics and character models are amazing.0 -

What is the "best" community is subjective, for example I'd say the "best" community in an MMORPG is EVE Online, because it actually has real depth to it, because the game produces that, as opposed to GW2 which is very casual so produces a very shallow, superficial community in comparison. (fluffy teddy bears and people talking like children is not the same thing as a strong community)
