I'm starting to realize that not everything is about who has the highest DPS time, and trying to impress this and that GM or guild. In fact, you don't even need a guild to enjoy ESO. Sure guilds can be a QOL improvement, but it can also drag you down and or stress you out.
It's about really just playing the game for fun. Something that I had forgotten to do in ESO. Who cares if you're a "casual", or someone who wants to take it easy? And why belittle those with that preference? Just worry about yourself, and do you. And you will be at a much better place emotionally and mentally.
Who are you and what did you do with Ch4mp? LOl. Yes, the questing is pretty good.
And at the end of the day, isn't the ENTIRE point of a video game entertainment and relaxation...? Seems I was playing ESO entirely wrong up until recently. And I have no shame in admitting that.

I get your point but I'd have to disagree with this.
Many play games not just to relax but for the competitive nature (mainly Pvp I'm talking here), being the best at the certain thing in game etc.
Relaxation is the opposite of the competitive gaming, I guess in a way you could compare the competitive gamers to that of thrill seekers in the real world, with the non competitive gamers like the average joe (non thrill seeker).

Wait there is competitive PvP in ESO? Please let me know? At the moment all I see is players gear doing to competition in PvP. I guess if you are going to say the competitive factor, is how lucky or how long someone has grinded for their gear. That does all of their killing then yeah, sure.... That's some competition right there!

. PvP in ESO isn't really that competitive when you examine it thoroughly. It's just a matter of who can cheese who the fastest and most efficiently. There's very little skill involved. Sure it takes skill to know how to animation cancel, and or abuse certain mechanics.
Case and point pet builds. I've been running pet builds since I've been playing ESO years ago. I never rode the meta train for pets, because I've not got off the original pet train. I been a huge fan of @Thelon and his works. Always gave the man his props too. People out here literally bandwagoned pet builds, because they heard from this and that streamer or trial raider how it's the meta. And they flocked to it like birds. Bringing up posts how this and that person got this amount of DPS, and how it's so good this and that — but where were those people when Necropotence wasn't scaled to CP160? Oh right, they were the Sorcs with DW and Destro. And even then the vast majority of people don't even know the history behind running DW on a Mag build, and just did it due to what they had been parroted. Now that PetSorcsl wings get clipped, people wanna act funny and act like pet builds are dead and are no longer viable. Lol. If you're a true PetSorc, to hell with the extras. You'll use a pet build, whether you feel it's meta or not. Simply because it's your preference. People been out and about solo'ing content with PetSorcs, before this and that guy bragged about how they solo'd this and that in the Imperial City DLC. @Thelon was solo'ing VAA before people left PvP. Lol.

After not questing about anything ever since Wrothgarr, i had no idea i could actually enjoy it as much as i'm doing right now. It only needs the correct mind set getting into it.
I'll now most certainly track back all the quest i'm missing and finish those too.
Also, nice post @Ch4mpTW, you used to be quite a bitter user, a break sure did great things for you.

Elaborate a bit more please.
Well at that point they aren't really playing a game, they're more investing or obsessing over it

Oh, come on, guysEver heard of Dark Souls? Definitely not relaxing activity
Neither are horror games like Outcry, etc.
Games are not about relaxation. They are about entertainment and when it comes to entertainment - different strokes for different folksSome like to sweat. Some like to be scared s**tless.
And some like to win. Pure and simpleSome people play Hearthstone for fun - just to make stupid decks and giggle all the while. Some play to be Top-1 Legend EU. Neither are wrong as long as everything is safe, sane and consensual, if you know what I mean
And both are still playing the game. Just differently.
For as long as leaderboards exist (or the Emperor title, for that matter) there will be people who will play specifically to be #1 on said leaderboard. All cool, if there is a good sportsmanship and it genuinely is an exciting race for everyone involved and not a chore.
Yeah, I honestly understandI know what you mean, as I'm a massive fan of the Souls franchise and Mega Man franchise. So I completely understand.I guess you can say that I've grown jaded when it comes to end-game content, and the hype trains about min-maxing builds. As I said previously, none of it impresses me anymore. So suppose there is no guessing, as I am jaded in regards to trials and all that jazz. And that's fine.

Was always easier for me, because I never wanted to be a first, I just wanted a clearSo I never cared and never had a reason to burn out... But I do understand how one can and it's good that you're enjoying yourself
There is time for everything. Time to work on your DPS. Time to farm skins. Time to pass vMA. And a time to just sit back, say "Screw it" and go pick some flowers with friendly casual-guild Discord chatter on background
As much as I am obsessed with optimizing my build, and having this and that best-in-slot piece of gear — I genuinely missed questing. And I'm incredibly pleased with the quality of quests, and amount of quests given with Morrowind.
