There still may be enough players in this game to keep financing your and to keep this game running, but I will give you a nice example of a similar game that is dying and is pretty much dead already.
The DCUO (DC unverse online)
They did all the things you're doing now. They kept ruining the game (PVP most of all) with each update, and just adding more and more PVE content, and some crap to they're in game store for people to buy for money (cosmetic, utility and so on). And with each update there were fewer and fewer players left. And now you see the same people on the server in DCUO. You see the same people in the pvp arena and the group finder for raids.
Do you even read what your community posts on this forum? Don't you see the huge pile of complaints? Fix this, fix that, buff this... But all you do is throwing more and more PVE stuff and crown store BS.
I truly love this game since launch, but with each month I feel that it brings more frustration and headache than joy. You keep buffing what doesn't need buffing and nerfing what doesn't need nerfing.
It's the same case as Star Wars The Old Republic. The whole design and concept was provided by bioware, but the actual gameplay mechanics and balancing things and so on is managed by EA, which made this game a piece of crap eventually, and it's also dying now.
You, Zenimax, are ruining the Bethesda's Elder Scrolls setting and design with your poor management.
Please stop!

    Neverwinter is the better example here.

    That game imploded in a hot mess when they changed leveling and level caps. ESO headed that direction.

    I wouldn't go crying witch right away. But I would ask they look at the classes a bit more. It really DOES feel like Templars have been constantly nerfed, and nerfed, and re-nerfed for over a year now.

    They were originally pretty good sustains (you could solo or carry anyone with a temp) and got heavily nerfed. People started playing them pure magicka and now a year of nerfs.....

    We can use love too now and then. Give us something! Anything!!!!!

    ESO was good for some time since launch. Yes, it had bugs, glitches, but they did some right decisions along the way for almost a year. And when the game hit year 2, it has been deteriorating to this very day.

    So what? Is that the reason to ruin the game focusing on console market? What about the PC players?
    I started out in ESO as a PC player, but when it was released on console I switched, because I find playing on console more comfortable. I still have a PC and could just drop that crap and go play any other MMO. Do you think I'm the only one who has the game on both pc and console? Doubt it... There are tons of people like me.

    Whether the game is dying or thriving is honestly in the eyes of the beholder when it comes to opinion. Certain segments of the playerbase care more about certain parts of the game than others, so each and every change they make will only influence that portion of the playerbase and the rest won't care.

    As for me? No I do not believe this game is dieing. I know when an MMO is dieing and this one isn't. Not yet...

    Im willing to bet the vast majority of player are long time fans of the Scrolls series and we would love to see more and more pve material. It should be something like 1 dlc per year pvp centric the rest casual pve centric. ZoS needs to cater to the base.

    Edit: I'll also say I feel that the last 2 updates were fantastic if you remove the RNG BoP nonsense and we'd have perfection :D

    That's what I'm talking about. I didn't say ESO is already dying, no. As I have mentioned the playerbase is still good enough, but the symptoms of the plague can already be seen, and no one seems to care about curing that plague. And you know what happens if you don't cure the plague? Yes, you die. That's what going to happen to this game if they continue to do what they do.

    Well, yeah, DCUO sucks NOW. But it was a good game, and many people liked it, and many people played it. And you know, the last symptom of the gamekilling plague is the housing. Really.
    Dcuo was going down to crap already, but then they added housing, and since then it was getting worse and worse. Swtor - the same thing. Housing added, then BOOM, the game sucks.
    The housing is the last desperate measure to attract simpleminded who didn't get enough SIMS in their gaming life.

    That's a fair enough argument and true to boot.

    But, the community has proven time and again that we expect an Elder Scrolls experience, which is what the Dev's have continued to work towards since launch. I'm willing to see where the ride takes us because if you remove just a couple frustration points in game then it'd be perfect imo. (here's lookin at you RNG)

    You know, I surely don't say that everybody's unhappy with the changes. And it's because there are people who are ready to eat every crap they throw a you just because the game looks good, or the game is in the specific setting (be it star wars or elder scrolls or whatever). That's the same as people who watch TV and believe everything they show there.
    That's the difference. There are always obedient dummies who won't complain about anything and those who question the things that happen. And the first group is what makes companies produce crap and feed it to those guys, because "Why try? They'll eat it anyway"

    See here you're also wrong. The people who complain will eventually leave the game, these people they're not worried about because you really cannot satisfy everyone.

    The people who "eat their crap" as you put it, are staying not because we eat crap, but because we like what they have to offer us.

    This is the group of players, which is the majority I assume, that they're going to want to please and when you please the majority instead of the minority of crybabies, you will gain more customers. Good customers.

    I read an interesting statistic among paying customers in f2p games a while back and I wish I wasn't so lazy cause id search it out and plug the link, but the gist of it was PVP centric players tend to spend the least amount of money in mmo's whereas PVE centric players dump veritable cheddar on fluff.

    Well, I don't know about the statistic you've read, but I can say that many PVP players dump as much (if not more) money into games. The cosmetic stuff, crafting stuff and so on.
    I, myself, dropped enough money into this game too. I was a subscriber when it was necessary, and I couldn't complain about it, because what is 10 bucks a month for a great leisure?
    You underestimate the PVP community (not talking about some 13 year old schoolkids).

    Any examples of good young MMOs? I'm interested in those more than examples of bad MMOs.

    ESO was good for some time since launch. Yes, it had bugs, glitches, but they did some right decisions along the way for almost a year. And when the game hit year 2, it has been deteriorating to this very day.

    Funny you say that. I remember a mass exodus of players shorty after the release of the game. So much so that Zenimin scrambled to change the end game to try and keep people.

    i also remember a group of dev's that stated, "We feel that we have a quality MMO that is worth a subscription. We do not have any plans in the immediate future to go f2p".

    and look how that ended up.

    You may have enjoyed the game design for the last few years. the rest of the market seemed to disagree with you. One of the big reasons they are changing end game so much was that negative response. Hopefully they're making the right decisions. We'll see.

    To the OP,

    I can't speak for DCUO, but Based purely on the success of other MMO's that are adding tons of PvE content, Adding More PvE is not the issue. I doubt that DCUO's issue was PvE content. It was more then likely bad design and implementation overall. It's rarely a singular element that kills a game. It's foundational design mechanics that do it. Like ESO did to itself on release.

    Neverwinter actually made endgame PvE content worse. they made the trip from 60-70 so nightmarishly long amd boring that many people stopped leveling at 60. And they're most recent addition was a horrible failure in Star Trek...yet they migrated it over to neverwinter where its causing no end to issues. They actually did what ESO had done on release...make endgame a horribly long and difficult grind that was night and day different then the first 50 levels (60 in NWO). and the have a completely broken economy that they themselves made, then gutted the players ability to make any of the currency needed to progress in game. I could go on...but I played NWO for very long periods of time from release up until now. Adding PvE content in general wasn't their issue. they just suck at making a decent MMO.

    SWtOR i can't say at the moment...I loved it from release up to 6 months or so ago, where I just got bored. very little to do with the gameplay (I'm starting it back up again though with this most recent release. The story based expansion sounds cool). but it had no issues during its tenure either, and it never suffered by adding more PvE content. Quite the opposite..populations went up when it added PvE.

    No offense, but your examples are highly opinionated and conjecture at best. You really just sound like a PvP player who wants to gripe and is trying to use personal judgements from other games as fuel for your argument. Which doesn't hold water for people that actually played those other games.

    On another note...I find it really interesting that many of the people threatening to leave, are the same people that stuck around duriing the early exodus of the game. Given all the changes going on, I could see why people who liked the early model would be frustrated. while I certainly respect the opinion...I have to say that the market disagrees.
