A tiny list of his reasons so there will actually be a conversation instead of a bad effort of self advertisement
5. Combat system
4. any class any role (game play versatility)
3. Amount of unrestricted questing content
2. PvP
1. Gameplay versatility (yep his reasons 4 and 1 are actually kinda the same.)

What i think?
5. Ye i like the combat system very much too. But lag.
4. Ye well the grind to make it possible to enjoy different classes is annoying.
3. Questing is boring and anticlimactic
2. Lag.
1. Grind for equipment is meh too.

Based on that:
5. It's passable but nothing to write home about.
4. Should die in a fire. Diversity and uniqueness is achieved through restrictions. Not the other way around.
3. Fetch quests and one-shottable "mortal threats to all of Tamriel!" tend to get old. Worth running through on one character, I guess
2. PvP that never works? Great.
1. I'm not even sure what this vague marketing term entails.

So yeah, guess I don't agree.

I assume this were the points OP mentioned in their video. I am not going to watch a 10 minute video of someone rambling on instead of typing out their thoughts like everyone else just to bring us to their YouTube site that is likely monetized.

1. Combat system overall is good. Granted, like many I am not with the continuous heavy handed changes over the past year and still on going. The core design is still much superior than games like WoW and FFIV.
2. Any class any role is good. While it would be nice to have more class flavor in our builds what we have is still far superior to the extremely restrictive class systems of games like WoW.
3. ESO is full of good story lines which is the most important part of questing. I like it that I am not put on rails and can go to a new DLC or chapter if I choose when rolling a new character.
4. BG design is not that great and I think having it XvX would be better than XvXvX. Ofc GF needs to work properly and actually fill and replace players. For Cyrodiil small group with a capable leadership can be fun but we have fewer capable leaders in game vs several years ago. Lag and GF need to work properly.
5. I will assume zvavi is correct that OP is just being redundant with pointes 1 and 4.

Typing this was not that hard. If OP has chosen to do so I might have been able to do the same.

Eh.... don't do crap youtube monetized sites. Nopenopenope. You sir have NOTHING you could possibly sell me.

my top reason is that is one of the best mmorpg's currently on the market that lets you allow to play mostly the way you want (compared to others) and that there are no other/better mmorpg's on the horizon - at least for now....

Self-advertising on a game forum. Yikes my dude.

But with the generous contribution by Zvavi, I'll give these thoughts on the topics presented.

1. Combat is okay. Not the best in the genre, but for an ES game it's actually pretty good.
2. I too enjoy using the same rotation for all six classes /s.
3. Unfortunately, the best part of the quests is the writing. Everything in between (Walking, walking, mindless killing, walking). . . not so much.
4. Having PvP isn't always a good thing. Honestly, I think they really missed the mark with battlegrounds, and in general having the same balance for PvE and PvP tends to cause more problems than anything. I agree with one of the above comments that BGs at least would have been better being two teams rather than three, but that adds a competitive element that I just don't think the current PvP system can uphold.
5. Gameplay versatility can mean a lot, but I'm guessing it's the number of activities to do. It is true that there's a lot of activities, but the depth of nearly all of them is severely lacking, to the point where there's still nothing to do even with so many options.

I would say that 2020 is a year to watch ESO. But I can't exactly say I'd recommend anyone new to play the game until some major changes are implemented.
