I really enjoy not having to log in during this period of time

I mean it, I don't hate this game, but I really need to take a break from it from time to time

No event that giving tickets, daily login reward this month can be ignored, all horses are fed, for once in a long time I finally don't have to log in at all

I hope next time I get in would be for exciting new contents than another "hohoho if you don't do it you are gonna miss an indrik mount"

Events are optional content. They do nothing for your character but cosmetics. Even when they add bonus exp you don't need to do the event to get the extra exp. IMO I don't play content I'm not enjoying.

Cosmetics are not an optional thing for some people, specially RPrs. I agree it is nice to not feel fomo pressured into loging in. Events are fun, but it feels like there is always one going which makes them not so special anymore. As with all things in life, balance is key.

Sometimes there's too much event chaining in TESO, events have to stay what they're supposed to be, a little event break feels good

I know, right?

"Cosmetics are optional" is inane.

This isn't a MUD. That's a text based MMO for you younglings. MMOs are a visual medium.

Practically EVERYTHING is cosmetic!

Not logging into the game is definitely a player's choice and totally fine ...

However, making a forums declaration with some shaky reasoning probably isn't the best way to express that choice.

1. No player is required to participate in Events or acquire an Indrik mount. They are optional. Grinding tickets and acquiring feathers and berries are only in a player's state of mind.

2. Daily login rewards are a freebie mainly designed for new players. Veteran players downplaying them as "ignored" borders on that slippery slope of entitlement. Especially when the timing of this post occurs when a 100k gold reward is just a few days away.

It sounds like OP just likes grinds vs actually playing the game.

Long ago I turned my back to events as I prefer to play the game vs the game play me. If the event coincides with what I want to do or I just fell like chilling in game with nonsense quests then fine. Otherwise I ignore the events.

I don't even care for the events anymore I have more mounts, skins, pets and outfits then I care to have at this point and the fact you can get event tickets relatively easy doesn't make the stuff you buy with them exceptionally rare other than any new achievements that come with certain events I skip them completely.

Are you serious?

Who do you think you are to be telling anyone how and where they should be talking about the game?

Who?!!!!!!!

And of course here is the best place to talk about the game, and serious issues like the nearly non-stop special events and godawful ticket grind.

It really does suck fun out of the game. If players feel relieved to log out or not to have to log in at all that's serious. And that's the reality.

I'm not going to be cruel and report the actual numbers but we all saw that ESO didn't reach its second viewership goal for their big reveal a few days ago. Didn't even come close. Last year there were many more viewers.

Event exhaustion is probably partly to blame. Yes I may have logged in more to for the damned tickets because once I started collecting them I figured I should finish the set. But having hated that so much I'm most likely to just choose to ignore whatever this year's equivalent is if they do it again.

If you feel a lack of compulsion to log in fyi: ESO+ free trial is on. Time to dump those mats and dye your costumes.
(If you are not interested of logging in without a reason I assume you do not already have ESO+.)

The weekend the undaunted event was running was my birthday. I was gone most of that time and couldn't be arsed to log in and run a dungeon, even though I like running dungeons. It was nice.

I find it interesting people feel the NEED to play a game and even more of NEED to log in to do what they see as mundane tasks, but really are 100% optional.

I went from the Anniversary event to the Witches Festival last year without even really logging in. And didnt bother to collect tickets again until New life and only then collected them at a leisurely pace. I could not imagine feeling like i must log in or must do task X when i play instead of just doing whatever i want.

I find it a weird concept for a "hobby" to be treated like a job that you pay to be at.

When a body has to get off their high indrik.

Yes, but you can still be selective in what you go for.

There will be a few people who genuinely love the Indriks so much that they want one in every colour.

However, quite a lot of people don't even like them and yet, still apparently feel the need to collect all of them.

That doesn't make much sense, unless perhaps you are enjoying doing the events.

When you go to a shop, do you feel you have to buy a style of shoes in every colour, even if you don't like all of them, or not buy the shoes, at all?

Or, even worse, do you feel you have to buy a style of shoes you don't even particularly like, in every colour?

That's how to look at this, I think.

Not as a "Gotta catch 'em all!" situation, but as a purchase.

This purchase involves your time, not your money (or not directly, anyway), but it amounts to pretty much the same thing.

I miss MUDS. Had a lot of fun in Mirkwood back in the 90's.

Agreed. Limited time events have really taken a toll on my enjoyment of the game. Sometimes it felt like tedious daily chores I can't neglect by FOMO.
