What kind of players does ESO attract?

synesthesia

I came across the Bartle test the other day and I am curious to see what other ESO players test as. I was surprised at how accurate my scores are.

Inaya

You are 80% Explorer

What Bartle says:

♠ Explorers delight in having the game expose its internal machinations to them. They try progressively esoteric actions in wild, out-of-the-way places, looking for interesting features (ie. bugs) and figuring out how things work. Scoring points may be necessary to enter some next phase of exploration, but it's tedious, and anyone with half a brain can do it. Killing is quicker, and might be a constructive exercise in its own right, but it causes too much hassle in the long run if the deceased return to seek retribution. Socialising can be informative as a source of new ideas to try out, but most of what people say is irrelevant or old hat. The real fun comes only from discovery, and making the most complete set of maps in existence.

You are also:
60% Achiever

47% Socialiser

13% Killer

Well, pretty accurate. I main pvp, i enjoy knowing the ins and outs of the game and using it to my advantage, and depending on how i feel atm, i can be a shitheel or spend 3 hrs helping some random with a build...

But i definitely get a kick out of being a "known" player on my platform, whether you see me as some goofy stoner who just screws around mostly, or im literally the devil incarnate because i swap alliances and have two thumbs... Either way, real endgame pvp is 90% psychological.

Anyway, cool post op.

Lol, same! And then it showed my highest score as Networker — I think I confused it!

I don’t think any of my numbers were above the 50’s which I think reflects that I like doing a variety of things in game, very much enjoy working with others to achieve a goal but sometimes just want to chill and explore on my own. My dominant subtype was Paragon but really I’m not a leader sort of person. Other than that it fits pretty well, but then so do aspects of several others listed here. 🤔

I think, mostly adults, who's tried the other games around, and also the old soloplayer ones, people who want to be able to have a naughty joke in public without being scared of a banhammer, or the word ass. People who need MORE then combat to play... I guess?

After a few questions in, I noticed signs of a poorly-designed survey instrument. That meant marking a lot of questions as neutral because they were not well-written. As such, the quiz didn't do much for me. About the only thing it told me is that I'm not a jerkface troll (griefer), which I already knew... because everything else was in the 40-50 range. But apparently, this is what the instrument thinks:
