I'm done with ESO and want to delete my account but I can't find a way to do it. I assume I'm missing something obvious . . .
Can't say that I took to this game - so I deleted it.

    I'm deleting because I don't care for the game, I've uninstalled it and now I want my personal details removed from the database of a company with whom I no longer have any form of relationship.
    It is not unreasonable to be able to do this.

    Yes, been there, done that. It's all drop down menus and at no point is the option "Delete Account" available. Even using the "Contact" button just sends you into the same, automated, useless round . . .

    Well, it was a trap :D

    • EU players are humans too! We want our maintenances in the least pop time (at deep night) and not lasted for several hours!

    So thats how you get increasing player numbers all the time...
    Just dont implement a function to delete accounts, but instead make users go through forms and choose options that arent directly related to the topic.
    Clever move.

    (And no, I'm not planning to delete my account...)
