They’ve done a great job of revamping the game and now that the console version is out in the wild, the full vision of what the game was supposed to be is finally realized.
One post for the negativity to seep in. One post.
Is that a record?

If by "best" they mean "caters most to whiners and destroys its own PvP", then yea it's the best.

When you agree with anything good that is said about something, even if it's overwhelmingly untrue, then that makes you a fan boy.

Actually, that is also not true.
You see, the feeling, especially on these boards about the game is overwhelmingly negative, stemming back to when the game was first announced and how everyone just wanted a Skyrim Online or an Elder Scrolls VI. It has never quite managed to shake that negativity.
Do I think everything Zenimax has done is right? Good lord no. Not in a million years. Not even close.
But this is a huge online version of Tamriel that allows me to play with friends in my favourite gaming world.
So ... If I like the game, despite its glaring flaws, it is my absolute right to do so.

It's never too early for @Sallington to pop in, claim he no longer plays but just trolls the forums while at work, and then proceed to crap all over the game.
EDIT: All in a day's work.

And the daily tagteam from you too as well defending against whatever opinions I have. SSDD

Fair enough. I think that ZOS trying to cater to both people that wanted a full-on Elder Scrolls MMO and the people that wanted a "Skyrim Online" at the same time is really where most problems/complaints stem from. They tried to include everyone, made a watered down version of both, and they have a bunch of people form both sides upset.
If they would have focused more on making it a true MMO, with less of a focus on all this immersion balogna, I'd be much happier.

So you admit your only purpose for being on these forums is to berate those of us who enjoy the game?

Nothing wrong with immersion IMO. You can always just ignore that aspect, whereas an MMO with zero immersion doesn't offer anything for players that do want it.

There's been plenty of immersion in other MMOs (or games in general), but you might need to use your imagination. The problems arise when they try to force immersion through game mechanics that affect the gameplay of an MMO.
"Immersion" in MMOs just isn't the same as single-player RPG. In MMOs you get immersed in the community, of it feeling like a real world you're apart of. ZOS tried to use the same immersion tactics they use in the single-player ES games, and it failed in my opinion.

The only MMOs I've played that had "community immersion" were ones that also had forced grouping (FFXI, DAoC, Lineage2, etc). Otherwise the community just went off and did their own thing more or less. Can you give me an example of an MMO with better immersion than ESO?

Without a doubt SWG (RIP). I felt immersed in the world when playing WoW and LOTRO back in the day as well.

We definitely have different opinions of WoW. The Cartoon Network environments completely turned me off and eventually drove me away from the game. It had the worst community and quest system of any MMO I've ever played. Couldn't stand seeing another player in the same area I was in because of the atrocious competition for *everything* (in a cooperative MMO no less). And I never cared one bit about any of the quests I was doing. They were just there to get the prize and move on.
I quit playing SWG after beta and never tried LOTRO, so I'll take your word on them.
So basically, out of the MMO's that are legitimately playable today, you'd rank WoW higher than ESO in immersion?
the full vision of what the game was supposed to be is finally realized.
