... and so ESO light fades away from me.

Suddenly, I stopped play ESO. For weeks now I'm barely logging in, and most time I stay for just a few minutes.
After playing ESO almost nonstop for 3 years, I'm tired. 7,110 hours on record.
Why? I really can't answer that; or rather there is too many answers, none of them will satisfy me as "the final one".
ESO now has hundreds of different set builds, dozens of different classes and combinations, thousands ways to be frustrated.
What is ESO, exactly? An exploring game? Battle game? Trading game? All of this, probably you will say. Its a work of art, for sure. Amazing and complex. But sometimes some humans creates amazing things that other humans can't cope with, or fully understand.
ESO is something like that. Its a virtual world of interesting things, and could be much, much more, but at the end it is a commercial game. ZoS need to get money from it -- and that is absolutely fine.
But exactly because of this, after so many years ESO became a huge palace of wonders which offers us just its garden to play. ESO must be simple in order to be interesting and alluring to a greater number of people -- most of them care less about lore or wonders or complexity, and just want to play a game.
And perhaps this is the most important motive I stopped. I want to explore that palace, see the wonders, discover new details of its history and lore. But at the end, we all keep grinding for hours to get ore, wood and other stuff to sell, hours and hours doing the same dungeons to earn the same rewards, even more hours just killing each other's characters at Cyrodiil or -- for the psychos in training -- killing every single NPC is the cities and destroying the game's immersion. Hours changing Armour sets, creating dozens of characters.
All of this seems very interesting and great diversity, but its really not. Its all the same, all the time, everyday.
Well, I'd like learn more Tamriel stories and do less grinding. Discover more wonders and fight less dungeons. Get more lore interactions with the ancient times of Tamriel and less toxic PvP.
And so, after 7,110 hours of ESO, I finally figure out I don't like the game as it is. Yeah...
I wanna go deeper in the game's lore, but out of necessity ZoS need to offer players more entertaining and less immersion. That's why, I guess, the tragic fate of Varen Aquilarios is lost in an huge wave of side quests, confusing chronology and questing mess. This is a shame.
For all things ESO could be, but it's not, I feel sorry. For all the money I spend in this game, I assume the responsibility. I was an enthusiast, but not anymore.
Goodbye Tamriel. It was a long run. I'll keep coming back for short periods in the future, just out of the good memories. But not so much. Not so much.
