What in ESO has made you want to stop playing?

Nothing in the game.

However, text-chat not being in the game is close to making me stop playing...I already stopped using the crown store until ZOS at least comments in the 50+ PAGE thread about the topic.

Oh and all those trophies you say are impossible I have them all so not impossible. I'm just about to finish black market mogul make 1 million gold selling to the fence so just no.

I wonder if you will ever gain the appropriate self-awareness to understand how dumb you sound/are.

I have, at least temporarily, stopped playing. Will not be back until we get some genuine new content (and for me IC isn't it - I don't do PvP in MMORPGs).

What made me quit?

That fact that after three months of playing the game I had downloaded more in patches than the size of the original download for absolutely no new content and no performance increase.

The fact that Cadwell's deliberately destroys any hope of immersion by forcing players to assist their enemy factions.

The ludicrous time sink of crafting research: do I really need to learn Sharpened for Dagger, Sword and Great-Sword - no, of course I don't having learned to sharpen one I would be competent to sharpen the others.

The constant "untruths" from Zenimax about content releases, and lack of truthful information about said releases.

After Console
After E3

Now it looks like (despite assurances to the contrary) that we will have After Quakecon.

Then it will be After Thanksgiving.

The intransigence of Zeni when it comes to considering optional UI features that are pretty much industry standard these days.

The appallingly dysfunctional trade system.

Other than that the game is quite enjoyable - at least until level 50.

All The Best

The Elder Scrolls games are on the dark side of things, but the Devs try to not let it be called evil, just pass it off as "another option" kind of thing. Being openminded is cool and all. In Skyrim I could avoid anything I thought was too evil for my preferences, but not here in ESO.

To me the game ESO is overwhelmingly evil, and in so many obvious and also in subtle ways. Soul Gems... got to be the most evil system of mana/power management I ever saw in a video game, and it's downright impossible to avoid using them in ESO. Sorcerer's pets only deadra (who we are supposedly trying to fight), the skills themselves of most classes (don't need to be a Vamp when you are a NB, the standard self heal IMO is just a vampire skill), our status as a "soul shriven", too much emphasis on vampire and werewolf, as well as many others too numerous to list.

I tried to give this game a good go at it, tried to be open minded... the game has it's fun parts for sure... but to me evil is evil no matter what dress it wears. Evil sexy is still evil and I have no taste for it. I even tried playing just Templars but even that feels like I am just pretending to be good. I don't want to just pretend to be a good guy in a video game, I want my character to be a good guy, not just "another kind of evil".

That is why I hardly play at all anymore and have given up any desire to make it anywhere near 50.

BRUH...

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Your response is literally what I did when I read this drivel... Perfect!
I also wondered how this person leaves their home without being afraid of the "evil".

Don't understand my post? Quite understandable. Feel free to ignore it.

GreySix · July 2015

I spend considerably more time on these forums than I do playing ESO.

It's simply more entertaining.

Dcaliber · July 2015

Silver/gold,VR and CP system,and no text chat

Junkogen · July 2015

Nerf to the Argonian racial potion/NB catalyst synergy. Generally poor balance between races and the upcoming changes barely help the Argonians. Basically how the Argonians have been handled in this game. They look great, but their passives suck and will always suck. Since the removal of soft caps, it's been frustrating. I now just play a lot less and rerolled my Nightblade because I can't stand it anymore. I definitely don't play with the same enthusiasm anymore.

Overall, Eric Wrobel's careless decisions have ruined the game for me. It sucks because if I had rolled a Bosmer initially I would probably be singing his praises. Argonians just happened to get shafted the hardest and the devs don't really care. They just seem to do things without much thought, seemingly just to say they did something. They've moved on to probably more important things. Sucks to be an Argonian NB, though. Such a waste of time to only get a crafter in the end.

Pay to win/grind to win with no limits.

Return of the bots.

Vet leveling and no place to level. Also never enough players to do anything vet

Silver/gold, im nearly finished silver no motivation to do gold.

That they - since beta - still haven't been able to fix that

ultimate rarely if ever work, when fighting (on the Mac client). It seems to work just fine for most others
trying to drink a potion - more often than not - shares the same problem. Works fine out of combat, after pressing the "potion button" actually drinking that potion takes lowest priority against all other actions
Doors etc. not working (or only after 10 seconds with a good chance of standing right outside again)
Skills, attacks, even people not showing due to poor performance of server to keep clients up to date, while still fully taking damage from all those

Generally:

skills and items unbalanced, champion system just the icing on the cake
no crafting of jewelry, all new crafting stations useless

RazielWolf88 · July 2015

Totally agree they force you to pick an original name for your character but all everyone sees is my gamertag waste of imagination

bedlom · July 2015

Not much! This whole no txt chat has been a bit of a downer but I still got my fingers crossed that they add it in but I'm still playing so nothing really.

GaldorP · July 2015

No new content for over half a year almost made me quit. That + the feeling that we had to cross-finance console development. The console version should have been made by an additional, new team while the PC version should have received new content from time to time. But in the end, I kept playing because the game was still enjoyable and I didn't stop playing for "political reasons"/just to protest.

Another thing that really made me angry is that the "travel to player" function allows people to instantly enter PvP campaigns that are neither their home nor guest campaigns, increasing the waiting time for those players who do not use that shortcut and try to manually enter their home campaign. This also circumvents population limits which causes more lag for pretty much no intelligent reason. As if anyone ever couldn't "play with their friends" because they were in different campaigns. All it takes to switch campaigns is a few hours of PvP to get enough AP or waiting for 3 days. If you're really friends with someone it isn't that hard to agree on a PvP campaign that you both choose as home campaign.
So I was very glad to hear that stupid design decision will finally be fixed in the next major update, along with PvP buffs affecting PvE (such a stupid idea that should have been fixed a year ago ><)

Lag in PvP is probably still the largest problem the game has (in my opinion), followed by balancing issues and lack of vision how VR 14/16 players are supposed to gain Champion XP. Anything else is just a minor annoyance in comparison. To me at least (playing the PC version of the game)

Ah, one more thing: I still miss many social functions in ESO that I've had in all other MMOGs I've played. First and foremost the ability to see what guild(s) other players are in. If you see another player's main guild and maybe even a little guild emblem (low resolution bitmap graphic that players can upload) you get an idea about which guilds are the most active in each area of the game. An ingame guild database also would really help new players find a guild they like, allow them to see the name of the person they need to contact if they would like to join, etc. I've probably spent like 10 hours over the last three months, just travelling from zone to zone and posting my guild recruitment message in the zone chat of each and every zone. It also would be nice if guild had common goals (something like guild ranks or a guild skills system) that encourages people in a guild to play and work together on a common goal. All previous MMOGs I played had that at some point.

And finally, one more thing I would like to see: Allow us to see how many instances of each zone there are and allows us to switch between instances, please T_T That would make finding a good grinding spot so much easier.

Functionality is more important than having "the perfect purified immersive picture/experience". It's an MMOG, a game for many players to play online, not a single-player fantasy world exploration simulator.

wOOOOt_of_SD · July 2015

Lag
Vet levels
the constant nerf of places to grind xp
the fact that after 1½ years, the game is still buggy, laggy and unbalanced.
Lack of new content
The stupid 5 guild system, that leads to no loyalty at all
Lack of guild related content
Lag in PVP, and the only solution is to reduce numbers
lack of proper loot rewards
the fact that you cannot level effectively in pvp
Did i mention PVP lag? =(

BugCollector · July 2015

No duels.

RobDaCool · July 2015

Game is sort of boring in my opinion and grinding veteran ranks seems a bit pointless, like someone decide instead of adding raids etc. they just make you play the game over and over and over.

Plus I've seen free mobile games add more content then this game lol

Opening a hard locked chest only to find cooking ingredients is kind of lame

People only see my gamertag, took me 10 minutes to chose a name that wasn't already in use and people can't even see it lol

Breaking down and buying a mount from the crown store and finding out I can walk faster.

All quests lead to an elite to fight! Why do free to play games shove elites down our throats? Speaking of quests; 90% of them start out with some NPC making you go out of your way to talk to someone.

Reco · July 2015

Lack of updates.

People leaving or not playing enough.

Graphics and music not as engaging as Skyrim.

Super-boring quests.

Folkb · July 2015

What in ESO has made you want to stop playing?

Well lets see...

1. The lack of overall imagination with this MMO, same leveling scheme, same gear grind as other MMO's
2. The poor combat in PVP: time to kill is just aweful and people die in seconds
3. Lack of imagination in PVE: same ol trinity, the tank sits there in front of the mob while the healer spam heals him.
4. The fact that there's so many useless skills.
5. the ridiculous veteran rank grind.
6. and now the CP system grind.
7. the overly simplified siege mechanics, there's no strategy in sieging or RVR in general, just zerg it up and plow through the enemy by following the crown.

Tyrusaran · July 2015

The refusal of many players to use a voice chat when grouping up in guild.
The lack of end-game content
The lack of any kind of real mellee dps with heavy armor class.
The ability to have more than 1 PC guild.
No content, grind, no content, grind, etc

EDIT: forgot to add the useless crappy trade system, there should have been a game wide auctionhouse.

Snowstrider · July 2015

Loneliness,Lack of stuff happening in the world (events,social activities,festivals,not much dailies to do etc)

Wish they did more stuff like GW2. They created a more fun alive world

Also on console,Group finder not working,No text chat

... Not many people using the voice chat and when they do its just music,barking dogs,mic spam,kinect mic on,people screaming,No way to advertise your guild or find any guild,Hard to sell and buy items,cant ask the whole zone for stuff

Contraptions · July 2015

The bot trains that have returned.

Please, tell me more about how having large amounts of XP and CP is "skillful" and that others should just grind if they want to "earn it".

Dradhok · July 2015

Nothing has made me want to quit. It is a huge game that is still evolving. If you are bored you are probably too focused on one aspect of the game. Go explore something different or help some newbies.

Violynne · July 2015

Having been playing since launch for the XBox One, so far, my answer is nothing.

I'm loving this game.

At first, I was going to pass because the feedback from PC players painted a less-than-stellar game, but turns out their opinions are just that: opinions.

The game isn't without issues, of course, but it's still a fantastic game to me (and yes, this is an opinion).

It's better than Destiny, and I'm just going to leave it at that.

Anhedonie · July 2015

champion system

FelixTheCatt · July 2015

Mostly I have enjoyed the game. There are aspects I do find extremely lacking in that are definately question how long I'll continue playing EsO long-term.

For an mmo , there is nothing about it that is social at all. Voice chat is 98% just blatant abuse. Hours of listening to someones music , yelling or other pointless noise. Imo this is the least social game i've ever played online. Seriously , text chat needs added. If ZoS is just not going to give in on this , do something , anything , to let me know theres other players. Besides seeing peoples psn id's over their chars , it may as well just be a big single player game to me.

Needs a decent trading system. This guild trade might've been nice in theory , but tbh , it sucks. I don't think I can be any clearer about how bad trade is in this game. I understand you don't want to follow anyone elses formula , but this ain't getting it at all.
