If there was the unfortunate situation around an undiagnosed illness, the doctors would indeed do many tests. However, those same doctors would sit down with you to explain what they've done and talk in-depth about exactly what they are going to do next. They would take great care to fully explain any queries or concerns you may have. If they didn't, they would be revealed as useless doctors, and you'd find a different set.
Your analogy unfortunately doesn't fit with the seemingly inept bungling and accompanying silence we've all experienced.
Depending on what your illness is, or is suspected to be, the doctors will discuss it with their colleagues first, before coming to the patient
But they take less than six years to talk to the patient
Don't act like they have not spoken a single word to us in 6 years

It's all good mate, I have been accused of being sarcastic on a few occasions. Just put it down to you having far more patience than I. Is the salary decent at Zenimax?

Is the salary good at whatever company who pays you to toss out your accusations.?

With any software update there’s also the option of rolling back to the previous version, partially or fully. ZoS could fix crashes overnight by restoring to Stonethorn until they can find the issue and bring Markarth to a functional state. It’s an option they refuse to take, but imagine having the ability to “Undo” any illness in that medical analogy.
It appears to me that ESO is happy with the money they are making and the work they put into the game (budget). They have stated during LIVE streaming that they are “Killing it” so why would they do any more work(increase budget)?
It’s a business decision.
The issue here is very simple. ZOS/Bethesda is a big company. Someone did the math. And the math says content update brings in more money (effective immediately) compared to game fixes/quality of life improvements (a long term investment). From a bussiness view point they are making the correct choice. Corporatism sucks and I wish at least gaming would shy away from it, but gaming has become mainstream in the past two decades and here we are. Gaming companies that actually care about their product and costumers are getting rarer and rarer, mostly it is the small indie companies that haven't been exposed to corporatism yet. Money makes the world go round.

They should be held to same quality standards as "traditional" companies.
You should not sell or false advertise when your product is broken. That how it goes in most of the areas.
After that they can make all the money in the world. ZoS is going down the EA route fast.

But the game works for quite a lot of people, probably the majority, so the game is not broken.. it's more apt to say, as they do, that some people are experiencing issues.. They are working on fixing these issues, which seems to be quite stubborn

They do use word "some" a lot even when basically whole servers are down.
I admire your optimism on your belief on fixing issues... they have NOT even bothered to acknowledge the issue is still ongoing and they have not made 1 post about the issue.
I believe they have what 3 community managers but it is quite obvious their job description is not to communicate with their customers. Go figure that.
For the others I know that many have cancelled their eso+ subscriptions since they are fed up. There are no active trials, pvp or much happening due to this nonsense.
We have not been told anything and thats is a quite standard ZoS policy.
It is an luxury to have an job description where you can only deal with happy customers. There big diffrence with giving information vs posting absolutely nothing about problems.
Regarding the other things. Dont know if you an troll or just live in other realm or just white knighting. Either way like I told you it safe to say we disagree a lot.
The OP here had a valid points and there are several others in the forum.
There is nothing more to add. Like said you keep your wallet open and be happy. Me and many others keep them closed.
Merry christmas to you

Find me one, just one, "whole server" that is down then.? Or proof that that many players are not able to play at all.? If there are no active trials or PvP.? Then who are these ghost that I apparently play with on a daily basis.? Who are the players that I ran 3 vet trials with yesterday.? Who were those big groups of yellow and blue players that I defended my keeps against.? As for the community managers.? Well every sane person can understand why they don't really communicate with the players.. every single word they utter, is being picked apart by fanatics, every sentenced used against them.. If they give people a deadline, they will be hunted by a mob with pitchforks if the deadline fails.. We are told that the issues are still there, and they are working on it.. that's safe to say, so that's what we are told.. at this point, it's wise to not give out info without 100% certainty.. I've never been so ashamed of players, as I have on this forum

You have not been told anything, if you don't want to hear it.. some of you seem to WANT the game to be in trouble, so you keep insisting that it hits pretty much all of us, no matter what people tell you or show you.. another realm.? Yeah I call it Cyrodill, where I fight a few times a week, 3-4 hours pr run.. There are several others who supports the OP of course, but there are just as many who goes against him, but it seems we are lesser people than him in their eyes

If, however, you play in a group and focus on end game pve and pvp, the game doesn't work at all.
Yes, there are people who still do trials and pvp but you do have to acknowledge that majority of the end game guilds have stopped doing trials because of these bugs and crashes. Even their own streamers did so! That tells a lot already, doesn't it? And what about pvp streamers who constantly point out the flaws of the game and nothing happens? Tells a lot, too.
If you do some pvp few hours a day not on peak times, the game works fine. If you plan to do trials or pvp in 12 man groups, however...

I do vet trials, I do vet dungeons, public dungeons, regular dungeons and delves, I do PvP 12 man teams in prime time, I do Vet/normal arenas.. What PvE/PvP content is it exactly that you, and I don't, which "doesnt work AT ALL"? Please do tell me.?
No, I don't acknowledge that the "majority of endgame guilds" have quit, cause I don't see any proof of such.. I have seen a few threads where people have said that many/most of their guilds have stopped doing that content, but in no way a majority.. I never watch streamers, too boring for me, so I can't say anything about those though
Regarding PvP people who point out flaws, I don't deny that.. There are flaws to be worked out, but the content is not unplayable, as people like to cry out

You mean tell us that you are not experiencing any of the stuff described in these forums? You got to be joking.
I will answer your one final time than your trolling will end up been 1st person on my ignore list! So congrats for that.
Nobody has said that pve/pvp does NOT work at all but when you are in example doing pve trial and your team mates keep going crashing, freezing all the time to offline mode I would call that pretty much as you put it "doesnt work AT ALL" category. Its somewhat annoying to pause things and wait everyone to get online and by some miracle hope that everyone stays online so can wrap up the mechanic/trial... and no these that keep going are NOT the same persons everytime but its pretty random. Nice feeling when middle of fight your tank freezes/crashes... and yes you propably can complete most when you persist and hope mnimal crashes.
