I’ve spent insane amount of hours on this game since it has brought a lot of joy and excitement, so I do hope you’ll hear me out!
I do feel ignored as a player, as a paying costumer. As many other games there are bugs, exploits and hacks people do use, and it’s sad. However that’s not my point, point being there are so much things you could focus on repairing BEFORE you drop copious amount of DLC content on us.
I do understand you are a company, a company that needs profit, therefore all the DLC’s and crown store items to increase the sales. However this has created a source of irritation among us players, because I do know I’m not alone by saying that many major and minor bugs keeps getting the cold hand from you. Most of the times not even a response.
There are major bugs that are destroying this games experience, making it sometimes unplayable.
• Loading screens never left. They are just a bit more random BUT longer. Today I waited 6 minutes to enter March of sacrifices? I was not alone; the whole group had the same loading screen.
• Same thing goes for Cyro, the loading screens are destroying the gameplay there. I rarely enter because of that. But when I do, I rage quit because loading screens.
• All the dungeon bugs, CoH2 fear bug just to bring one up. It’s been like that since I started playing 2 years ago, COME ON DO SOMETHING.
• Random crashes. This is something that varies from time to time. Sometimes I don’t get one for 2 months, then there they are, 5 in a day.
• Continuous server restarts, shutdowns and crashes. Last year has been insane with these at prime time.
• Dungeon, cyro and battleground queues. This is just ridiculous. Happened almost every night now the past week, the queue crashes and keeps saying “someone declined” upon entering. Making content inaccessible.
• Battlegrounds.. Oh where to start… Chaosball invisible bug, Ball follows you up on respawn point. Dominion games, flags sometimes inaccessible, you simply can’t capture them.
• Lightning staff heavy attacks. also something thats been on/off since summerset.
• VMA crashes
• “failed to load character” when logging in.
PLEASE get your priorities straight. Rom wasn't built on one day either, i fully understand that.
Above all else i wish you a awsome day!
Are you a "Paying customer?" As in ESO Member?
This. Also, I'm amazed by almost zero feedback from the devs. Here on the forum they very rarely give any comments regarding the issues, even when the discussion is hot, "constructive and civil". Any attempt to actually adress the team looks like stonewalling to me.
I'd argue that buying the game makes you a paying customer.

You know, what you saying here can be recongnized as conspirancy theory, and it's forbidden by the forum rules to discuss such things.
There's feedback, "We're looking into it" or "We're aware and working on it".
It's a joke and they only care about the Crown Store because that's where they make money. It doesn't matter how loud people scream on the forums, they're not going to put resources into something that doesn't generate revenue.
I suppose, OP means a bug, when you are able to run through the dungeon wall under the fear for your own life, and after you calm down, it turns out, that the wall is hard stone solid. It occured to me once.What is the "CoH 2 fear bug" and why have I never encountered it since release?
I’m done.
Re-read the OP. He's a paying costumer not a customer. One who makes costumes.

That argument is just feeble. The game generates revenue, not one particular aspect at the expense of another. It doesn't matter if you don't use the Crown Store or buy Crown crates, you're still able to contribute to the game by subscribing and have in any event already done so by buying the game - therefore it matters to ZOS whether you're happy with the game or not, and whether or not you're going to continue playing it. Besides, what makes anyone think that if a Crown Store customer can't play properly because of the login, loading screen, lag, balancing, or any other issues they will continue to use the Crown Store? Everything matters to the customers, and everything matters to the developer.
I can only assume that people who say ZOS don't care are either school kids with no experience of business life or else are public sector employees who have never had to justify their pay cheques by satisfying customers and making a profit. Everyone else knows that any commercial company including game developers needs to earn revenue in order to stay afloat, and can't afford to pick and choose which parts of their business will earn that revenue. Just because they haven't yet been able to come up with a fix to a particular problem (which many other players may not have, and which may not even be at the developer's end) doesn't mean that they don't care and aren't working on it.
Yes there are significant issues that affect some players, perhaps most but certainly not all, and I happily acknowledge both that and the fact that those problems haven't been fixed, but I do reject the notion that this is because ZOS either don't care or don't consider it important enough to address as it doesn't involve the Crown Store.

The developers are exactly that...developers. Customer support is handled by a different team of people. There should be communications between support and developers but with few exceptions having developers personally answering our concerns isn't the best use of their time.
Programmers in general, across all industries, over the years, have manged to completely fool everyone into thinking their jobs are really hard and magical. One of the perks of being a programmer is that you never ever have to face the customers. You can just make up any nonsense you want and tell the customer support staff to tell the customers that.
Alright, add "customer support" to the chain, and what it changes? As a common customer I really don't care how the company work organized, or why they are uneffective in communication with the customers. I don't blame anyone, I just don't like the company approach towards feedbacks. Recently, I tried to get any kind of official answer regarding the issue with the Cyrillic font and problems close to it, and my experience can be described as "Don Quixote fighting windmills".
