    Or why else do you think there are sooo many pvp centered mmos and so few pve...

    Name them.

    The only PvP centred MMOs which come to mind were massive flops because not many MMO players want to pvp.

    They were such massive flops that I couldn't even remember their names. Took a bit of googling but there is eg. Darkfall.

    Sold as a brutal, uncompromising pvp mmo with full player loot.

    In truth what all the above created was a game where players ran around totally naked nearly all of the time to avoid losing their gear constantly. And to train skills, players would line their characters up - naked of course - in front of walls to allow other players to hit them with weapon attacks and spells.

    aka bloodwalls.

    Weirdest MMO experience I've ever had.

    Nearly all MMOs are pve-centered cos that's what MMO players want.

    Look at ESO. Back in the early days when emperorship was achieved by killing the current emperor, players from different factions co-operated with each other to pass the title back and forth. So everyone could get the original sweet permanent passive former emperor skills.

    MMO players are much more interested in playing and co-operating with other players than killing them.

    There is a big MMOBA market but that's a different market and matter.

    Because I have some delusional idea that by supporting the game, the developers would make it better over time... I was wrong. Now I’m hoping my precious $ combined with others will at least give ZoS reason to develop a new game with a new engine...

    This is the part that bugs me most. It’s how things are getting worse and worse since Murkmire. How can things be getting worse while they’re trying to fix it?
    Looking for any guildies I used to play with:
    Havoc Warhammer - Alair
    LoC EQ2 - Mayi and Iskiab
    PRX and Tabula Rasa - Rift - Iskiab
    Or anyone else I used to play games with in guilds I’ve forgotten

    PvP doesn't make them earn money.

    PvE does. Shiny non-lore mounts do. Crown store does.

    ZoS won't put a single penny on PvP till Eso dies.

    Also 16000 Crown non-giftable houses. The politest and least toxic forum community is also the one that's miked most mercilessly.

    Sadly but after these terrible patches... its true.

    I'm here until a competitor comes along with a game that does everything right which ESO does wrong. The disgusting gamble-crate scene has influenced the company decisions too much, and its only leading to worse and worse quality in favor of a slot machine. Even class reps are getting tired of all the good cosmetic rewards and skins getting thrown into gamble crates rather than the new dungeons.
