Hardest thing every patch

Casterial

So, the hardest thing of every patch as a PVP player is rebuilding your friends list.

Every patch I lose roughly 15-30% of my friends who all quit. This has been true for the type of people I play with(solo, duelers, small scale) since 2015.

Anyone else experience the issue of their friends just taking a hiatus until ZOS gathers what they want to do and fix it?

Nope.

No. I don't see rage quitting in the guilds I'm at.

And the in between I meet a bunch of new people who become my friends. I just think that’s part of the normal turnover of players (in any game). And it’s a good thing.

I’m not sure how many, if any, of them I would continue to know outside the game.

But within the game they’re great people to play with.

A majority I remain friends with outside the game, but inside the game since 2014 I've probably deleted and added over 500+ people lol.

I never made friends in the first place.

Yes

More hiatus than quitting though. Myself included.

While I don't see a lot of friends completely quitting, over the last year there are certainly a lot more considering it and playing less.

Yeah, my master Crafters/achievement hunting friends are on way less now.

I went from 23-30/99 to 6-12/99.

Oh, that's a hard thing? I didn't realize. I do this constantly on the regular without any patches dropping. I actually try to keep my friend's list as small as possible, unless there is a beneficial reason to keep someone on the list (IE: Can craft 9-trait sets).

I only add people I talk to on the regular, party with weekly, or Crafters/houses.

I always try to keep below 80, there's occasionally that one or two post that say they have small friends list. But being here since prelaunch my friends always grows, always does, it's just constant reminder of how many quit, or take a break.

Wow 80 people is too many for me haha. I have like 2 people I know IRL, and 1 or 2 I have ran something with or needed help with something. I deleted everyone else. I would actually prefer 0 on my list.

ArchMikem

I don't have any friends. Just names that I've known and still see around some times.

I keep my friends list short. The harder issue for me is keeping up with/learning the changes.

After 1.5 I don't care for adapting it just happens. It use to be rare, now it's every 3 or so months... Which what you brought up might be the point we're talking about, so many changes everyone is burning out.
