Where did this gaming culture come from? Im not sure, but it is kind of sad how many developers succumb to it. I am referring to the "nerf this/buff that" post's that plague modern forums... I have witnessed it many times, to many great games. Most recently it was "Destiny". The game started strong. It functioned beautifully, it wasnt without some bugs and the need for some minor tweaks, but it was still great... Then something strange started to happen. "Why doesnt my weapon kill these people anymore?" It turns out a group of whiners hit the forums... "That weapon is OP, you need to nerf it. It is making it impossibke for me to get a kill."... The dev team sadly listened. The weapon was nerfed, it does less damage now, a worthless amount of damage, it is pointless to use... then the forums light up again.. "Why did you nerf my fav weapon? Its useless now." And a long string of nerf this and buff that began to ensue... Serious game crippling issues arose. Some weapons/skills/items became useless, plunging the game into a cookie cutter hack job... Everyone had the same gear, the same skills and the same weapons. All thanks to the nerf this/buff that gaming community.There are many top selling video games that kill themselves chasing quantity over quality and it is a tragedy in some cases. A tragedy that i fear will soon be taking over eso.

Every post i see is about one thing or another that doesnt suit someones play style, or concept of how the game "should" be. "This is OP, nerf it so i dont suck anymore", "My skill is worthless, buff it so i dont suck anymore". Often times, changes are made and they negatively affect something else, so they change something else to compensate. It goes on and on and on. Eventually they lose control and the game that once was great, becomes an unbalanced piece of recyclable. I hope ZOS knows better than to keep chasing this insatiable desire of the toxic gaming community that plagues game forums. It is always the same. It starts the same and it ends the same... It is already happening, just check out the forums, research the patches... They fix this and that breaks... It will never end...

Please no more changes to satisfy the insatiable appetites of the pvp crowd. One thing i have noticed in these pve/pvp hybrid games is that developers often destroy their own games in an attempt to appease these uninformed groups of gamers with limited hindsight and no consideration of mechanical consequence. There are hundreds of threads complaining about how this and that needs to be nerfed/buffed so I can spam o to get a kill instead of being required to push o then x to get a kill. Or "why is their shield so strong?" "Im only vr3, i cant even hurt vr14 when their shield is that strong, nerf shields now ZOS"... "I just started playing, increase xp so i can catch up to ppl who have been playing this game for a year", Increase xp so I can lvl up my 6th alt faster" It is becomming ridiculous how popular it is to try and get things nerfed/buffed.
It is very hard to find a post that actually suggests an overall beneficial adjustment to this game... its always someone crying about something that isnt "fair". You can stack shields too, you can bolt escape too, you can aoe too, you can grind too, quit crying about it. If thats not how you want to play, then dont, but dont try to change the game to suit yourself when it works just fine for others. I mean, If you don't like the game, then play something else. There are game breaking quest issues that still exist and the hot topics are "VR16 is stupid, i hate progression" , "CP system is impossible to exploit without grinding" , "It takes forever for me to max lvl my alt's" , "Nerf this/Buff that"

I feel bad for those who do not contribute to Forums, as they are the only voice for gamers, but are sadly crowded with diehard whiners/cheaters/exploiters who know flooding the forums is the best way to get what they want.
