I am finally here.

Dawiz

Bought this game at launch and played it from time to time.
Now I am here to stay.
I simply LOVE this game.
I can really do what I want when I want and coming from WOW that means a lot.

One day I go just around harvestng. Another day I go chasing chests.
Yet another day I go pugging dungeons, and I have to say. .. Pugging dungeons in this game is not close to doing the same in WoW.
Here people dont give a *** if youre not up to spec or not having BiS eq. It is just a blast and even if you mess up, people just go back and pick you up.

Love the game, love the community and love the players.

Happy you are having fun. Little suggestion. Don't play an alt till you get CP160.

I did the same thing in wow since 2004. Sometimes I would farm ore, sometimes I would find new pets to tame to fight alongside me. Sometimes I would farm low level dungeons for cool transmog gear, sometimes I would raid or do 40v40 person PVP.

I completely agree! In wow I never had to wait 45 minutes for a PUG and fake tanking there is nonexistent. Dude to the 5 person party, 3 of which are DPS, there is rarely not enough DPS go go around. Where as in ESO, if one of the DPS is lacking, the other REALLY notices it. Queues were also faster for DPS in WoW because each tank in a dungeon absorbed 3 DPS instead of ESO's 2.

Ya, this is not really true. Even the forums right now there are a number of threads of folks complaining about fake tanks, DPS not doing enough damage. I personally have been harassed by players in game and berated for doing low DPS.

I find a games forums are never a good way to judge how a community feels about a game. Most happy people don't bother posting often.

P.S. If you play tank or healer there is no Q with the Armory System there is no reason not to make one now. You don't even need to level an alt.

Raideen, there will always be complains on a games forum.
I have played mmos since the late1990's
Started with Everquest, moved on to everquest2 and SWG... and so forth.
One thing I learned is that there is, and allways gonna be, people that play the game while they express their absolute hatred for it. Never understood why but that is a fact.

The thing about this game, and I do believe its becase I am not in the end game, and never will be. (you dont have to in this game) Is that you can really play it as you want to play it, and still have progress.

May it be the armor piece you so longed for. May it be just to have fun just running around doing quests. You can do it.
No pressure. No RIO, no bitching about your set not being optimal.

Same here.

This is an easy answer. It's because they dont hate the game, in fact have a great passion for it, but at the same time also know that the game has serious issues and want to see them fixed.

Not entirely true. Try making an "ice mage" character with cool ice abilities and ice themed armor sets and try to take down a world boss daily. I don't understand the "play as you want" tagline, because I have played as I wanted to in every MMORPG I have played. WoW, SWTOR, Warhammer Online, Rift, FF14, Everquest, you name it. I do what I want to do when I want to do it, (unless it was a raid night, but its the same thing here).

Again, I have done all these things in other MMORPGs so I am not seeing the uniqueness here.
As far as no pressure? I 100% disagree. In fact since my time in ESO, myself and my significant other have left because of harassment and abuse because we were not doing enough DPS to make other players happy (but yet still pulling respectable DPS, 25 to 30k)

@Dawiz so glad you're enjoying ESO! I've been playing consistently for years now and also quite enjoy it. Mostly a solo PvE player (which ESO supports well), but when I do group, the game supports my elf's nurturing instincts as a healer.
