ESO Plus Poll: Who has it?

coop500

I was curious to see in comparison, how many folks have ESO Plus compared to those that don't, plus some other options. Granted I know this won't be a very accurate poll because so many don't go on the forums, but I am curious regardless.

Sylvermynx

I not only have it constantly, I have it constantly paying 6 months at a time on two accounts.

relentless_turnip

I have ESO+ constantly.

I used to smoke and where I live a packet of cigarettes is more expensive than ESO+. I have made a massive net gain in terms of spending 😂
Sometimes I feel guilty giving zos money when the performance more often than not is abysmal, but I still like the game and can't be bothered with the hassle it would bring to take the moral high ground. I do commend anyone who has made that choice as that is exactly what we should all do.

I don’t see the point in paying for it anymore. Performance is abysmal and they do way too many free trials of ESO plus which is already a very poor gesture to the people who actually pay for ESO plus.

As an active player, the quality of life difference that is included with ESO+ is too hard for me to say no.

I never buy it, I just use the free trials.

How many do they do these days? I remember when it was like, maybe once a year?

You’ve stopped smoking which I don’t have to tell you is huge for both your health and your wallet! THAT is commendable! No reason to make a moral issue of whether or not you enjoy extras in a game! Don’t feel guilty for that — if you enjoy it and can afford it, buy, if it’s not worth it to you, then don’t — same as whether or not you spend your time, which I dare say amounts to far more value than the price of ESO+.

I have found no issues in performance, so I pay the ESO+ for the wife and I. We even keep it going when we don't log on for a few weeks.

We of course play duo up through the stories for whatever alliance we are, but we also Duo all the dungeons in the base game. Never a hard mode, but we did the Mirkmire ones as well. We flounder around in BGs maybe once a week.

What boggles me is From what people are saying I should be seeing the horrid performance in Dungeons and BGs right? As soon as I do these group activities I should be seeing all these DCs....

I know it's the wrong thread for this but this is where the moment struck me....cuz of all the mention of bad performance.....

Nord_Raseri

I used to but recently stopped.

Ran out a couple days ago. Usually subscribe by the year. Not sure if I am again, we'll see soon maybe.

I have ESO+ constantly.

But that could change soon

Nairinhe

I have ESO+ constantly.

I usually get 3 months, rage cancel it when ZOS breaks something, but by the time my sub runs out I'm usually satisfied by the state of the game enough to sub again.

Dracane

I have ESO+ constantly.

I always have it when I play actively.
Crafting bag, bank space and DLC access is a must.

And I get the same amount of crowns as if I would just buy them for the same price. Eso+ is the fairest and best MMO sub out there.

Viewsfrom6ix

I never buy it, I just use the free trials.

I don't play enough for the monthly price to be worth it. I also feel like I need to play more if I do sub to get my money's worth which will affect my family time.

Jeirno

I never buy it, I just use the free trials.

4 years of playing and never felt the need for it. Craft bag? sure its nice but like, just don't collect useless mats and you are fine, don't need 10 stacks of each trait stone, don't need cp30 craft mats if I'm CP 1235, don't really do any provisioning or Enchanting since just buying the food from guild stores is not a huge loss at all. free eso+ clears my bank of mats always and I do have 200 slots of space naturally which more than enough to keep all important mats and have still loads of space for gear and stuff. Home storage is where I store most of my sets and my 10 Chars have their gear on them. all healer stuff on healer and tank stuff on tank and DD stuff split between whatever DD I feel like playing. DLC? I just bought every single DLC with in game gold since there's nothing else to really spend them on. and Chapters we all have to buy with real money anyways at launch so no loss there either.

All it takes to survive without is a little bit knowledge of what is trash and not worth keeping and some little 5min of sorting out inventories and banks after a long day of gaming

Now its like every 3-4 months I'm pretty sure, at least feels like it.

My situation exactly.

I have ESO+ constantly.

I have it constantly but I do cancel it when the money begins to get tight. Since I do the year long subscription its still active for a while till things begin to normalize and I'll renew it when I feel like it.

Thanks man, I haven't smoked for 2 years which is great after smoking for 20 😬
I only feel guilty as it perpetuates this cycle in gaming where maximum profits are achieved by minimal spend. I don't think until their margins are truly effected will they do anything/enough to make a functioning game. I feel bad for being standing in the way of this tbh. I do appreciate your reassurance though 👍

Mettaricana

I occasionally get it for a month but most of the time go without.

Not enough content going on to need it 24/7 only need it til i get new boss sets or blow through a dlc zone or 2 then cancel.

Easily_Lost

I have ESO+ constantly.

My ESO+ just renewed for another year.
I collect a lot of mats to sell in my trade guilds, so I need the craft bag.
Will keep on subbing until the game is no longer.

I have ESO+ at the moment. Like for any MMO, I cancel sub immediately after taking it and if I sub again I do it only after my previous sub ends.

I have it on one account

As with most other b2p/f2p games with sub options, I got ~3 months or so when I started playing the game, when I knew I would be binging a lot on a Brand New Shiny Game™. I haven't had Plus since, as I'm not playing 24/7 anymore. The free trials are enough of a chance for me to shove stockpiled materials into my craft bag & decorate houses further.

(I go in and out of b2p/f2p games as events happen or interest wanes. Like, an event or patch will happen to drag me back in, I'll play for awhile after that - doing dailies/writs/etc, and then I'll get distracted by another game and leave til something pulls me back. )

Non of the options are what I am. Used to sub but stopped because of performance.

So had it consistently. Now free trials only.

I usually sub for 3 months, then take a break to play other games for a few months. Then, when I come back I play I unsubbed for a month or two before my inventory fills up with crafting materials and I need to re-sub. I don't think I would ever sub if there were a way to permanently buy the craft bag.

It is not true. Because it is "never buy it", while in reality I did, and will buy it, when the performance will be deemed good enough.

Like it! It's lots of fun for a month, for the equivalent of a couple of beers at the bar

AcadianPaladin

I have ESO+ constantly.

I only play one game at a time and generally stay there for years. And I spend plenty of time playing. As long as I enjoy ESO, getting the sub is an easy call.

katanagirl1

I have ESO+ constantly.

Daily crafting writs and housing...need I say more?

Lol

DaveMoeDee

I have it when I'm playing seriously. I take long breaks between major content drops. No point in subbing then.

I'm not really an MMO guy so it can feel like paying $15 to repeat the same stuff over and over again, which doesn't feel great.
