Do toxic and constantly crying posters on the forums make you feel less inclined to play this game?

    With any MMORPG comes it's fair share of trolls and toxic members who only seem only to exist to put a negative overlaying tone on the game.

    Said players have affected me in the past. I always try to be a helpful part of the community, but encountering these players (every day) in the past has lead me canceling subscriptions. Their constant crying and frustrations seem to shape other's opinions of the game.

    I'm curious to see if there are other like me. Perhaps there is more needing to be done to prevent such blatant malicious behavior.

    the forums are not making meless inclined to play. the game itself has done that with Poor balance , broken specs, bad itemization ,bugs, Boring end game

    Can I ask you to elaborate on why you are still playing then? Do you think the things you dislike will be corrected within one year or sooner?

    Im playing out my sub would like to get my sorc to V12. the last two weeks have been very little play time ill log in play a dungeon or a small amount of PVP. I do think Zos did a brillant job on the 1-50 content Eso is not horrible . The VR dungeons can be fun once you accept that the grouping is all DPS and a heal.Ive played MMO's form launch and expected a fair bit of balance issues , flat spots in content and Very thin end game.

    But 12 ranks of quest grinding or craglorn grinding was not expected. Zero end game iteimzation aside from crafted was not expected. and the complete Broken melee and armor system was not expected. Do i think ESO can correct these issues in one year? yes. Sooner ? no they have horrible issues with the server patching the learning curve seems to be huge for the team . each patch breaks way more then it fixes and we are seeing them back away form the promises the Botherhood and thieves guild will be in any time soon. Possibly early next year from the last Dev interview.

    I expected a launch product Like Trion Delivered imbalanced ,Its what we expect from AAA title and a fully funded studio, thin on content at end game and a fair bit of bugs. By 31/2 months after Launch Trion had 4 content updates, 2 live events a new raid a pleathora of quality of life features. And the Balance issues were far more even . It still had issues but that team had an answer for everything , they were transparent. when hackers got in the next day they had the coin lock feature and refunded peoples gold and equipment.

    Do i like ESO yes! Do i think it has potential? yes .will i continue to sub? no i already canceled . Im not gonna pay to Beta test a product that was clearly Rushed had very little intention of getting its end game together in a timely fashion( its why we have the silly VR grind). Ill return in a few months and see how far they got in fixing it. And no i wont be playing wildstar its ridiculous.

    OP is mad because the majority of people see the game for what it is, a failure of a colossal magnitude.

    Nah, whiners will always whine.... Hater's gonna hate. Negative people will always be negative... they're the same people that do it on every other MMO's forums.

    The truth is, normal people just stop playing a game they don't enjoy. It's the people with deep seeded psychological problems that spend all day complaining about a product that isn't what they wished it was, even if it was never intended to be.

    This is the best MMO on the market right now as far as I'm concerned. When something better comes along and gives me more enjoyment, I'll stop playing this one.

    Nope because most ''toxic and whiners'' make better points, use more facts then actual rose tinted fanboys, if I buy a new product I better damn well want to know the state of the game, the state of which patches happen, how frequent they happen, how they happen and so forth. If people want a misguided view of the game, then vote yes.
    Why do people complain?
    ''Because players want to provide feedback and help shape a product they still see as having the potential to be great.''

    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

    Don't get me wrong. This is the best MMORPG I have ever played and I've been through most. But after a long day at work, and having to read with these types of posters over and over on the forums, I feel less interested in playing that night.

    Then don't read then. Problem solved.

    No, other posters may drive me from the forums but not from the game.

    I do sense a growing frustration at the constant trolling and negativity on the part of a nucleus of posters. I'm all for constructive criticism, but it's a good while since we last saw that in many cases.

    No they don't bother me. I come to the forums for insights and clues on how to play, best ways to complete quests, see what bugs there are, stuff like that. The trolls are sometimes annoying at worst, or may me laugh at their perceived 1st world problems :wink:

    If you have played MMO's long enough (and browsed their forums) you would know that every MMO forum has "toxic" chat in them.

    But mixed in the "toxic" chat is concerned players, and conrstuctive criticism. If you read these forums, you will see allot of that, moreso then other MMO's. because there are allot of players that are concerned about the games current state and it's direction.

    not all negative responses to the game are "toxic", just like how not all positive responses to the game are "fanbois". An intelligent and reasonable person recognizes this. This MMO has no more toxic griping then others. it certainly has more concerned players, and with good reason.

    You know, that would be as totally awesome as you apparently have managed to convince yourself it is if I had in any way intimated reading the forums was any kind of a problem.

    However I have not so your post is the anti-matter equivalent of awesome.
