Your #1 Regret in ESO

Vanos444

The one who made this game!
Btw, I love the character models ( it's better than Vanilla TES games)

My biggest regret ?

Probably wasting my time on PTS testing stuff and then on forums PTS section giving feedback & pain points, that are ignored & never adressed. This happens every 3 months for 4 weeks of PTS. Trying to stop sledge hammer nerfs or somehow soften them is pointless.

Using xp scrolls 😒 leveling up is waaay too fast. I think I'm over CP 12,000 so I havent had much to look forward to on my main for a while now.

Vendoring my first (and only) BSW inferno staff not knowing what it was at around 200cp.

My greatest regret is keeping getting off the game. Roughly every 2 months I stop playing, mainly because I can't find a good friend to play the game with (even if I'm in a couple of great guilds), so I don't get a good experience of the game. I played the game on and off for more than a year now, and only have done one battleground and two trials, also because I focus on single player PvE content. I wish I had the mindset to enjoy this game more.

Not playing back when I had time for it. I got it in 2016, played for a few months, then returned for Morrowind, then after Summerset. I missed the Psijic Villa and 10 Dwarven crates. Now I struggle to finish quest content before another chapter drop. I still have Cadwell's Silver/Gold, Summerset, Murkmire and Elsweyr to go although I gave in and started Elsweyr quest line to get in on Dragon Rise event.

I spent one of those free Racial change tokens to make my character's ass a bit smaller.

My biggest regret is still playing and paying for eso+ with such terrible game changes and a developer team which is totally lost. There is no alternative on Xbox, however I'll be the first to shift once there is.

Is it a kind of illness or something? I can understand why people play ESO. But having a regret of paying for ESO+ is just... Let's say it's not really healthy. You pay for something you regret, but you continue to pay? Huh? It is how consumerism looks like?

Please, don't take it way too personal: these things look wild for me. I had ESO+ before, several months only. But now I have no willing to pay for. Ever some Crown Store things are broken, what are we talkin' about? So I just collect gems from stream crates (500 gems so far) to but fancy thing I like (skip all gems sinks like mounts for 400gems).

And don't tell me it is impossible to play without crafting bag. I play with no problems. Simply don't collect all trash from outside to home and you'll be fine. Have over 4mil of gold with simple playing and without grinding. Just selling all stuff I don't need, like recipes and motifs. Feel good and can afford to buy some Crown Store things.

Buying too many houses and wasting crowns. There should be a refund option for houses

LucyferLightbringer

My biggest regret would be being unable to refund every single penny i ever spent on the game the moment i found out PVP dev was put in charge of it.

Edit: Same here with the Craft Bag.✌🏻

Guild drama. It's the worst.

Expecting the game to actually improve.

My regret is starting this game. Its my first mmo and didnt know what to expect and got hooked. I regret it because i have not really played to many other games since starting eso. Newer Games just dont have as much going on in them and the stories are not interesting, You ruined me eso.

I regret having spend crowns on the firsts dlcs.
And that noob time where I crafted some items in 150cp instead of 160cp... At least I didn't gold the items.

Not starting to play sooner and wasting time with WoW.

Being unable to walk away after (because) spending so much time and money.

ESO is a very 'pretty' game. Even with everything they've implemented since beta has been half-arsed and too little too late. Cannot speak for those getting character builds destroyed, I feel for them, as well as for the non-stop mess that is the attempted 'balancing' of pve and pvp (which can NEVER happen).

The game will remain probably for a lot longer that any could guess on the fat wallets of the laid back and unwilling to try something new or abandoned their characters. Sadly, I will still be here because of my 'girls' until such a time as a long awaited messiah comes to save me from my plight. Even then, only my funds will be diverted, I'll always look in on my characters to make sure they are safe. *sigh*

Ocean_Charlie9

taking this game way to serious. I want to be good in dungeons and trials but it is just a game.
And being shy to ask for help xD

HappyLittleTree

No Rugrats... ok maybe one. giving away that one lightning infal staff some time ago since I didn't need it back then.

an now farming it with no success^^

3.) maybe buying the imperial style motif and not consuming it with my main crafter, as at that time I was not aware that it is a requirement to become master crafter.

So I had to buy it again for 70k.

But mewanwhile 70k are peanuts (cp982), so another issue I regret more:

2.) using the option to play different alliances. If I had known that the game would revert back to "Pre-One-Tamriel" times introducing faction lock, I would have built my 8 characters for just one alliance.

But even this no does not really bother me any more. We got 1 free char with Elsweyr, and I deleted 1 char that I did not really enjoy to play, so now I have 6 in one alliance, I can live with that.
I even enjoyed leveling the 2 new toon up, assigning skills with the better knowledge I have nowadays.

1.) Remains 1 issue: I should have started much earlier to craft. Started after playing half a year, and my banked gold doubled in less than last week to 1.4 million. If I had started earlier, I now would already have all houses you can buy for gold.

Spending so much money on a specific crown crate because I wanted the Apex mount only to get one of the Apex mounts but not the one I was aiming for.

Since that day, I reduced my spending on ESO in general. When I asked if I could trade it for the one I wanted, they said no, which was an even bigger bummer after the amount of money I lost.

So every time I see a mount/pet/costume that I want in the crown store, I ask myself a lot of questions before buying. It has drastically reduced my spending.

I often do think "would I be spending more if I had gotten the mount I wanted?" and I honestly have no idea.

Probably selling my soul gems to a merchant because I was a noob who needed inventory space and didn't think soul gems were important.

Huzzah!

For me it was starting crafting late. I'm still not a master crafter

Wheresthetea11

Buying crown crates and getting nothing... then buying more thinking I’ll get something this time.

KappaKid83

Not starting a character of every class and have them parked at a Stablemaster for riding upgrades from Day 1...

LadyAstrum

Spending too much on crowns.

Getting hooked on eso pvp in the first place. It's been an unbalanced laggy disappointment for years now. Yet I cant seem to uninstall and move on.. I'm weak.

Same. I'm about to start playing only Meta so I can have fun to. One player who kills me on his magden daily cant stand even the slightest chance vs my magden when the playing field is even, but on any other class I cant stand my own against him, I simply melt as soon as he gets toppling charge off which is the easiest skill in the game to land. The targeting for that skill goes around and over anything so smoothly
