Dear Zennimax: I'm Very Dissatisfied!!!

Teletesselator

I purchased the game about 3 years ago and it was great except for the fact that there was no manual or sanctions instructions.
With almost every change Zennimax made the game got less and less interesting and less and less challenging.
Because the current state of this game's lameness has rocketed to such a point I have canceled my Plus Membership.
With all the player, mob, npc, zone, and monster scaling the game has become a challengeless walk-thru of nothing more than pretty graphics and item collection.
And that would almost be OK if there were new maps every month or two and the bank-space was unlimited or in the thousands of slots somewhere (with proper field sorting ofc!).
Since neither is the case this game has become nothing more than a graphically beautiful but repetitious source of frustration and drudge.

When domiciles were announced I thought there was hope for more storage slots - so I stayed a bit longer - but no such luck! It turned out to be nothing more than a fund-raising tool for Zennimax. So I was about to cancel but stayed because Morrowind was then announced. When Morrowind was announced my ESO-Plus account should have covered it - or so I thought. After all, Morrowind is nothing more or less than the free Craglorn update was - in fact actually, Morrowind is quite a bit less to tell the truth - far less in fact! Yet Zennimax asked for about $45 more for it - what a rip!!! I was a sucker...

Anyway, I canceled my subscription about 15min ago and during the process it offered an apology (I guess for being so lame and greedy?) and suggested that I contact you. This post is me contacting you. BTW, I am one of a 6-person gaming group of friends and I am the last (if only by a few days) to have canceled my subscription. I read this message to them and they all agreed with the above statements - so, I'm speaking for 6 people.

Are you seeing a big increase in subscription cancelations? It's such a shame too, this gave up till about 2 years ago was great - and then little by little, change by change, well, I already said what happened.

Good luck in the future Zennimax! I hope you can learn from your past mistakes.

As someone who cancelled months ago, I wan you that your desire for more storage will be compounded by the lack of crafting bag. Even I found it a challenge to adapt back to not having a craft bag, and my interest in the game is largely limited to trials and PvP at this point. For someone who is already struggling with a lack of space and storage, you may be underestimating how dissatisfied you might be when your sub runs out.

Yeah, unsubscribing essentially means I likely won't be playing the game at all. As I mentioned, the game has become extremely boring after all the changes they have made to it. And if they ever decide to think for themselves and stop letting the short-term players dictate the content direction then all that stuff will still be there.

Basically this is a note to them though and not meant as a discussion thread. I didn't see any area designated for actual feedback so that's this is here.

We can talk about canceling subscriptions as long as it is not a good bye thread.

I hear you and have similar thoughts as my subscription is coming up in early December for renewal.

While we seem to agree that the game is getting more boring, we disagree on the reasons. For me, One Tamriel and the level scaling introduced a whole new reason to subscribe. Yes, gone are the days of running in where Angels fear to tread, but we got a world that was 3x larger in trade. It was a start. There is so much more they need to do to finish One Tamriel, and I know they probably won't get to it.

For me the problem is that the game is getting boring because they stopped innovating and there is no indication that they have big plans for the game anymore. They are just doing more of the same, and what they do roll out, feels incomplete. Housing was uninspired. Morrowind was nice, but less than it should have been. Clockwork City is also nice, but it isn't anything that will give the game a shot of adrenaline that it needs.

ZOS feels like they are coasting, now. I'm not sure that is worth a subscription renewal.

Are you sure about that?

I know right?

Definitely looks like a good-bye thread to me ... surprised thread hasn't been locked already.

And the point that most needed to be emphasized was level scaling??? : facepalm :
