I will never understand why anyone would play this game on console. It's not a console game. Console launch was only there as a money grab, it's not the platform this game is meant to be on. Eventually consoles will get no support so focus can be 100% on PC.

That's totally nonsense of course. ESO was especially designed for consoles. Best examples are menu navigation and the fact that you can only slot 5 skills.

Not really.
The reason they had to release console versions over a year after PC launch is they couldn't get console UI right.
Development of ESO began before Skyrim launch and was designed with PC in mind.

That's not true, sorry.
The idea of a console version already exists from the beginning. Why do you think, PC players can only slot 5 skills? Because ZOS has already considered the consoles.

WHY doesn't ZoS do the "Year Forward" videos like Matt & Paul used to do? Where are the peeks and interactivity that ZoS had with us the first couple of years??
Heck, the "Bi-Weekly" ESO-Live that I used to love is now almost "Bi-Monthly".
Communication hasn't always been like this. Perhaps this thread will help....
No updates, no other communication other than they might do something at some point?
Another friend just left the game yesterday. He said the game wasn't worth spending money on in its current state. He was a sub for 3+ yrs.

Well, I must disagree, sorry.
I followed ESO development since 2010-2011, and even their first trailer video, in 2012, Matt, Paul & Nick mention that the target base is MMO players and Mouse/Keyboard playability.
After the 2014 PC/Mac release the coding had to be totally re-done for each console system which led to the delay of over a year for console release. (1 year, 3 months actually). If they planned it all along, why did they have to re-develop it? And the 5 skill bar, actually 6 with ultimate, is another way ZoS tried to set ESO apart from games like WoW and other MMO's.

Instead of complaining on these boards (which accomplishes nothing) complain with your wallet.
Stop spending money on this game, and when the coffers run dry, Zen will do something about it.
Or not, and the game goes under. Either way, problem solved.
As someone who transferred from console to Pc the game is crap on console and far worse than PC.I will never understand why anyone would play this game on console. It's not a console game. Console launch was only there as a money grab, it's not the platform this game is meant to be on. Eventually consoles will get no support so focus can be 100% on PC.
Runs fine on console. Not complaining like PC'ers. What do you mean "it was not to be on" ? Geez Seems to run better on console

/still trying to get past people actualy thinking that developers apparently are not people and are not allowed to enjoy hobbies in their free time. imagine if writers weren't allowed to read any books other then the ones they wrote.....

And as someone who still plays on PS4 and PC, I have the same problems on both.
They share common code, so quit making this platform wars.

If you think the game performs the same on both platforms you’re not a very intelligent person. Yes the bugs are the same but console is far worse.
@ZOS_GinaBruno I know there is a Known Issues section of the Patch Notes to show the community what known bugs there are that have yet to be fixed, but can we have an all-encompasing list of all of the bugs in ESO that ZOS is aware of that gets updated every patch so that we can see some real progress with the bug fixes?

Insults are your defense?
You are entitled to your opinion even if it is wrong.
While I always appreciate Gina responding anywhere on these forums, what she said happened so many times in the past.
Zeni representative didn't respond to people here or in Bug forums and then suddenly, when people demanded it heavily, they showed, apologized, hanged out for a few days and disappeared again. IMO, not the best way to communicate.
I wish we could have one person doing that job - hang out with the community on daily basis, giving insights, appreciating bug reports - like we have so many mods filtering our words. Or like that super friendly Kai guy that Germans have.
But oh well... keep writing Bug reports, speaking with yourself most of the time and occasional "me too" from other players.

This much is true. It is odd, therefore, that they hired THREE people to do that at the beginning of this year.
"Starting tomorrow, we’re excited to welcome three new community reps to our forums: ZOS_Edward, ZOS_Chris and ZOS_Holden. You’ll be seeing them across all categories answering questions and providing help, and will also be working closely with the ESO Community Team. "
Then, these three people vanished.
I don't think astronomers need powerful telescopes to study distant black holes when ZOS has one in Maryland.

Oh really? I didn't know that. Sigh, well, another failed promise. I'm not one of those that always dis everything ZOS guys say. To the contrary. But I'm kind of tired of - we apologize, we will ... <snip>, and never actually move from there.
Like do something guys. One time I complained of ZOS chronically not giving a damn for Bug reports. Gina soon responded and replied to most of newest bug reports. Of course that brief crack of light ended very soon. But, for real, get someone to do that on a regular basis. To keep reporters in the right track. We know there's a big hierarchy of bug reports, but knowing whether it's intended, needs more info or it's really a bug, could do wonders.
