    When I said "Zenimax" would be the reason I would leave, I was serious. ZOS runs the game. They would be the only ones who would be able to make it not worth playing. And honestly, tell me in a single sentence what you offer to end game players who have completed all content. Why should we stay when you cater to casuals and rip off your customer base with 6000 crown motifs "for a limited time" (Until you put it in the gamble boxes. Like the Dromathra tiger.) So seriously; I'm not trolling, what do you offer the players who've spent thousands on your game besides a total money drain. Check my account, I've spent at least 3 thousands real dollars on this game. So why should I continue to do so?

    Just lock the thread, ZoS. This is a thread about negative criticism, something that you are all too far sensitive to receive.

    Also, over-moderation ends up looking really bad on your company, by the way. Embrace negative criticism, not hide from it. You might learn a thing or two about what your customers really want.

    If you lock this thread ill quit. Clearly it would show me we have a bunch of incompetent children who can't take criticism well running things at ZOS.

    Well the incompetent part has already been confirmed... so basically all it would tell me is that you guys are hopeless.

    If theres no new additions to open world pvp, such as in cyrodiil etc. Sure IC was/is my favorite dlc to date, but its kinda overlooked atm and its years ago. Bring in more new open world pvp areas to explore and fight in.

    I'm debating quitting right now.

    Competitive end game is really toxic.
    Grind is endless, and not rewarding.
    All the good stuff is incresingly expensve in real $$$.
    Trading going down hill due to bots, undercutting, and people who spend all day flipping.
    Spending all day farming SOMETHING to try and make enough gold to buy something else. And keep up with repairs.

    Literally sitting here wondering why I still play.

    realized I wasn't having fun anymore, same daily RNG grind like some kinda job from HELL, just to get some different gear to try.

    called it enuff for a while, canceled sub, stopped playing. I'll look in now and again to see if there's any new content (no dungeon), or any improvement (transmog, tokens for loo buys, not the gawd horrid RNG, change gear to BOE, rather than BOP, etc.).

    But there will be a way to increase gear from cp160 to cp180. Craft new gear or go farm it again. It's no different than when another MMO game increases the level cap. You have to go farm new gear...Usually from a new dungeon.

    Now being that this is One Tamriel, I really don't see the need to increase gear level. It serves no purpose since everything in the game is basically cp160.

    As soon as Elder Scrolls 6 is released I'll be gone.
    I honestly really dislike doing group content (I'm a healer), its always just such an ego fest with elitists complaining its all too easy & if you're struggling you ask them for help and the reply is "get gud"...
    Then they complain no-one wants to do stuff, well.... maybe try teaching people if you're so good.. Or try helping people in a friendly way & not being a rude condescending butthole.
    And not everyone can spend 10hrs a day in-game, many people work & only have an hour or two.
    Some of the best things in this game have been my time spent with in-game friends doing fun stuff, like challenging ourselves to taking each of the IC flags with nothing but tabbards on and no weapons to see how long we last before someone with weapons & gear kills us.....or funnier, when we mass punched someone to death..
    But also some of the biggest problems the game faces is the attitudes & behaviour of many of its players. That and the constant bugs & problems with basic game functionality.

    If I stop having fun, I'm done.

    If the powers that be continue to make ESO+ less and less worth having, I will eventually drop ESO+.

    If the game moves towards even more small dungeon packs/tiny DLC's and even less larger pieces of content, I'll have to start taking breaks as I am running out of PvE fun stuff to do that I haven't done before.

    If my newfound love for PvP someday turns into something I hate doing, I'll stop doing it, in ESO.

    If a new game shows up that grabs my attention to the same extent ESO did in the very beginning, I'll have to move on and dedicate my gaming time to mostly playing that game, with random occasional drop ins for ESO.

    But for now, I'm not at a point where I am considering leaving. I do expect that the day will eventually come, as it does for a lot of people. But it won't be any time soon unless some terribad combination of the above were to happen. Or some crazy life situation happened and I had to deal with that.

    Those "elite dps" are usually total crap and get their asses carried by healers and tanks. As soon as some rando dps in the group says "this is easy" when entering a DLC vet dungeon, it's a good sign they're going to die a lot, flame, and then bail.
