Has ESO become more about the forums than the game?

I see a lot of posts on here every day and I always ask myself "has the game become so boring that players spend more time in the forums than in the game?"
Sure we all need a place to vent but are the forums really more important than the game? If not then why do so many players spend time here instead of grinding out champion points or whatever they desire in the game.

✭Funny, was just thinking how much time I am spending in the forums..Power level to CP160 in a week:
Where is the end game? You just played it.
Why don't I have 300+ skill points? Because you skipped content along the way.
Where is new content? Sigh.0 -

bareheiny✭✭✭✭✭Can't play ESO at work....and have to wait for the TV to be free at home.
However I can visit the forums anytime.
And as far as I'm aware, there's no way to provide feedback to ZOS in-game.....although sometimes I wonder if they're paying attention <_< >_>1 -

✭✭During the week, I spend more time on the forums over playing the game. Generally, Monday through Friday, I do wrtis, feed my mounts, read the forum. During the weekend, i'll spend a few hours playing the game.Your immersion is breaking my entitlement. Buff Sorc's.

The more appropriate question is "is my job is so boring that I spend more time on the Internet than working?". The answer many days, is yes.

My biggest fear in life is, ending up marrying a girl who is lactose intolerant, think about it you would have to purchase double the amount of milk every week, cause you enjoy the goodness of full cream milk and she is drinking soy beans, and her milk takes up extra room in the fridge, or when you are doing a midnight run to the fridge to get a nice cup of milk and to accidentally pour some Soy milk. I couldn't imagine a worst way to do married life. - Barry Scott0 -

I do seem to be in here more and more often
Oh so you play on a console? Well this is a console game after-all I suppose.0 -
Krombie✭✭✭There's some people that prefer typing rather than playing but yeah the forums are a huge deal

Sensesfail13✭✭✭✭At least the forums give me hope because the large amount of people that are truly pissed off at the monumental incompetence of the developers is heartening. Where as the game just isnt fun anymore, it actually sucks... bad... since the last patch. So yea the forums are definitely the end all be all of this game because you can get achievements eewww look at all of the agrees I got. The equipment and the skill that I took since BETA to accumulate is now worthless with this *** patch so I feel the achievements I get on here for bitching about it definitely give me more reward.Wisherr, Dragonknight, Haderus, NA Server.

Kaitona✭✭✭Despite what some might think, this is a very healthy forum. I've played online games with forums that are dead and usually the game dies shortly thereafter. You want a vocal, enthusiastic and passionate player base - it means you have a strong game.You go on these Internet blogs and people say the meanest things. - Hayden Panettiere2

✭✭✭✭✭For some, sure. But there are far more people that play the game and never come on the forum. There have been 108,991 people who have posted on here. Hopefully this is a small fraction of those who are playing ESO.What ESO really needs is an Auction Horse.
That's right... Horse.
