Some players are unhappy certainly, not sure where you get the evidence to support the claim that most are. Most PvPers in Cyrodiil? Sure, but what proportion of the playerbase is that? Overland, everywhere I go on PC EU and NA is busy, and the Steam figures are still very healthy. I'd say most players are happily active in the game, not complaining on the forum or even in zone chat etc.
"I want to take this moment to reassure the entire Elder Scrolls Online community that ESO will continue to be supported exactly as it was,"
This is actually more depressing than reassuring given that most players are not happy with the current buggy and badly balanced state of the game.
I would have been far happier to hear "ESO Will continue better than it was"
To be fair, the game is running much better now than any time over the last 2 years. I'm getting no crashes or freezes in Cyrodiil, which used to happen very regularly (so much so, I pretty much stopped playing for a bit). It's still laggy in the busy campaign (Greymoor) but its fine in the quieter one (Blackreach) and no lag in overland zones etc.
So it seems they finally fixed the major performance issues. So long as we don't have reoccurrence its all good.

Is your server based in Narnia? Cos the PvP on EU is ridiculously bad. Not even early access quality... To call it rubbish would be an insult unwanted *** everywhere 😂
I haven't walked on my weapon for a while, but I would rather have that than my character being completely unplayable.

ESO works well and is fin to play most of the time if we count out the problems that come as opinions based on different playstyles and tastes and whether its RP or META or whatever oriented player..
Just recently played Star Trek Online, and no matter how fun it is to play as well, it is an example of what badly maintained game that is oriented milking money from players is.
ESO in the other hand, goes just as well as World of Warcraft or any other similar though IF you folks would have been actually willing to pay mothly subs the game would be much better.
Though i have to confess, that i AM worried about chapter storylines getting shorter and shorter each chapter... In the time i was barely started Morrowind, i have allready done the whole main story on Greymoor and it only took 4 days of RP oriented slow paced play. Including walking. Then again this is also mostly players fault. Why do great and long stories, when most people dont give any regard to voiceactors and storywriters when they just skip all conversations to get done with wasting time on stories when they can be efficient doing as much as possible in the least time possible. Some playing.

The amount of bugs still rivals near abandonware games like Champions Online, if I see them serious about fixing those and not nerfing everything into mediocre sameness, I may change my mind.

I played PVP for a bit and it was insane. I understand what drives people to whine and complain so much on here about the game. The performance and the gear and ability imbalances turns people so negative. I saw it happening to myself so I stepped back over to the pve side where the things are much smoother, balanced, light hearted and humorous. And it's here where I'll stay.
So you blame speedrunners for the poor scenario quality? Well, maybe some stuff like diplomatic Reachmen (oh sorry, Reachfolk) or matriarchal Western Skyrim are really appears due to the inattention and indifference of audience to the content, but I don't think that the simple following for real TES atmosphere was broken because of those who don't cares about this universe.Then again this is also mostly players fault.

Can't stand PvP myself, but I don't think that it needs to be written off completely. I would like to see PvP & PVE balanced separately. They have tried doing them together and failed miserably. We know it's possible and there really is no good reason not to.
