I just want to see the story without having to group with 11 strangers.
I'm the same, but I prefer solo content to group content for one main reason: I hate Hate HATE letting the other members of my group down.
Case in point. I did a Bastion Nymic a few days ago. I was fine until the last boss and then:
I messed up somewhere and got one-shotted.
I was resurrected by one of the other players - and was immediately one-shotted again.
And after getting resurrected again I died once more before the boss went down.
Now, I've done several of these during the Telvanni event and managed to stay alive. But the above was embarrassing and I have not attempted a Bastion Nymic since.
Asking for change is not inherently entitlement…
Real examples of entitlement I have seen here on the forums:
- Wanting the PvP motif that requires a certain rank and lots of tel var to be accessible to PvErs even though the entire point of the motif is to show off as a PvPer… as said by ZOS.
- Wanting vet and HM and trifecta content nerfed so that there’s no prog or very limited prog. Down with months long trial trifecta prog groups because that’s not how they want to play the game and they don’t think anyone should play the game that way…
- Wanting a way to get event tickets during midyear mayhem— the PVP event— without stepping foot in a PvP zone even though it’s easy to avoid PvP especially with some foreplanning. Weeks leading up to the event large groups of PvErs run around and stock up on quests. Some PvPers but it doesn’t matter if you die unless you’re hunting tel var. Can even run right past several enemy players.
- Wanting dungeon challenger rewards, particularly personalities, dropped down in difficulty to obtain.
- Wanting PvP ranks to be easier to obtain for a PvEr because of the dyes/furnishings
Tldr; stepping on the toes of players who do content that they do not do to suggest that said content should be easier or rewardless because they want a place in content they don’t think they like. Entitlement of ease of content or entitlement to every reward or achievement in the game.
What is not entitlement:
- Wishing for more overland content
- Not wanting their build nerfed
- Not wanting to join a guild
- Wanting to be able to duo or solo with companion(s) normal dungeons
- Wanting more sets to be viable
Tldr; suggestions that pertain to their usual gameplay and would not really affect anyone else.

This. I fail to see how someone's request would upset other players. Our opinions and their opinions do nothing in and of themselves other than inform Zenimax of a suggestion. It is them who decide and Zenimax is more likely to want to maintain the integrity of the game rather than ner difficulty.

2) Arguing in favor of crossplay is perfectly viable. Calling all PC users "cheaters" for using (officially allowed and supported) add-ons isn't anymore. That's insulting and entitled.
The majority are casuals but the endgame is designed for self-proclaimed elites who subscribe to streamer culture. ZOS is the one who created this 80/20 split and this discontent is inevitable.
Wut?
The majority of ESO streamers are housing streamers.
Housing is the real endgame confirmed!

The really odd thing about this is that the most vocal of those calling out PC users in this way is.... a PC user....
I don't think entitlement is a problem in itself. It's what people do with it. For instance, lately there have been threads about "being forced to play ToT". Now I can understand that people don't want to. I can understand when people would like an alternative way to get their lead drops. What I do not like is when this is followed up with the insinuation that ToT is somehow second rate content that should be removed / never been added.

I've been playing this game for years for one reason: it's an elder scrolls. When Tes 6 comes out I will say goodbye to this game.
@Jierdanit I get that and agree 100%. However, hopefully you don't also consider people as 'entitled' for saying that the game has a broken reward system for its general activities (i.e. things to chase from dungeons, be it cosmetics etc.) it's the objective truth that 90% of the coolest stuff just ends up in the store or crates. Had to ask. :P
As for your point, many and I mean *MANY* people around here sound like they'd be much happier playing, say, Skyrim, but alas. I've seen some requests that make me question everything, but at the end of the day.. I try to sympathize. ESO's community is unique like that, never have I witnessed this in any other MMO community, I guess it has to do with the game's legacy.

Interesting. I, on the other hand, will continue to play ESO, and add TES VI to my game play time. ESO has a lot of things I really love. The things I don't love, I don't mess with.
Of course, it's dollars to doughnuts whether I'll still be playing games (or even alive) by the time bethsoft gets off its ass to release TES VI. Yes, I'm WELL aware that lengthy release schedules are normal for this studio - after all, I've been playing TES since Arena released in 1994....

Only wins advance the daily quest. You get a box that has a chance for the lead, win or lose.
Everyday you see new threads in which people are asking ZOS to make certain things easier to get or to give something that would require playing a different area of the game to them without actually having to play those parts of the game.
This is most noticeable during Midyear Mayhem when you get several threads a day about people complaining that they have to PvP to get their tickets, during the only PvP event there is.
Some other examples are PvE players generally asking for a PvE version of Cyrodiil or IC, casual PvE players asking for access to Endgame PvE like Trials and generally players asking to further lower the gap between the floor and the ceiling.
I don't understand how it is so hard for players to accept that there is stuff they won't get unless they take part in every part of the game. I have never done a Trial in ESO simply because I can't be bothered to do PvE, especially in a group of 12 people and I don't expect to get the rewards from Trials while not doing them.
I barely ever get Tickets from the PvE events, because they are super boring to me so I rarely take part, but that is just how it is, you dont get something if you dont do the content.
Generally a lot of people seem to be against other players being more effective than them, even if it is because they put way more work into their chars or are just considerably more skilled/experienced and constantly act like they're entitled to everything in the game simply because they bought it.
How do people want to get everything in the game handed to them, without them having to actually do the content? For me that would completely destroy every sense of achievement I'd get from it.

There is no event in ESO that requires you to go into a trial. There is one event that requires you to do dungeons and you can do nFG1 solo to get your tix. Every other event is overland content you can do solo with all white gear and not fail. But twice I year, I'm expected to offer myself up to the meat grinder of Cyrodill and IC. There is no nFG1 version of PVP, the closest is the horse-riding simulator of scouting reports.

I'm personally waiting for the Antiquities event where tickets come from digging up Antiquities leads, or the tribute event where your tix come from Tales of Tribute coffers.
I, for one, would love a PvE instance of Cyrodil, I also don't give a wet slap about the pvp rewards, I Just want to wander around the map without being ganked by someone [snip]
[edited for trolling]
Although I do have a lot of titles, I must respectfully disagree with OP. If anything, I'd like to see MORE player titles in the game, to provide a wider variety of "flavor" for each toon.
I feel that in comparison to games such as WoW, ESO has far fewer interesting player titles available, and it would add to the game's diversity if ESO also added in some humorous, droll and self-deprecating titles to go with the ones already in the game.
I agree. But you have to understand that we are the minority, that's why overland content can be finished by being naked and with a lvl 1 weapon.To basically everyone in this game there are some things that they will most likely never get. Some wont get stuff from PvP, others wont get Trial rewards, because they either dont want to do that content or are not good enough at it.
I just dont get why people think they would be entitled to those rewards without doing the content.
