@Cazzy
Don't let them [snip] get you down. Just ignore them.
You do have friends here and people who appreciate your contribution to these forums.

Message me on PSN if you want any of my stuff. PS4 EU. I have about 200k and many blue/purple/yellow items.

@Gidorick @RAGUNAnoOne @Volkodav @Lightninvash @UrQuan I'll probably see you guys in another game

you do have friends on the forum

if you were on xb1 you'd have +1 there too haha at least from me @Cazzy

EDIT: oh and with the rp stuff it will start booming once text chat comes to consoles a lot of rpers are waiting for it cus audio is harder haha

MrDerrikk · February 2016

@Cazzy nooooo! One of the steadily decreasing friendly players here and you're planning on leaving altogether

if it makes you feel any better I reported the...person who was being particularly nasty.

As UrQuan says though, definitely come back for TG, I'll be looking forward for another pleasant voice to discuss it with

Alucardo · February 2016

I used to be able to play for hours on end, now it's a good day if I can stay on for 30 minutes without going afk for ages and then just logging out.
All I'm interested in is PVP, but it's becoming stagnant because they haven't done anything with it in a long time. Next two DLCs are PVE content so I'm sure you'll have more dungeons and trials to compete in, but for me things will remain the same.
If IC got some love that would be enough to keep me going until something bigger, but they don't seem too interested in doing anything with PVP. Before you all jump down my throat with "but they said X".. yeah, they said we'd have a pvp justice system - how did that turn out? Promises is all we're given. Changes is what we need.

moesmaker · February 2016

Take a (short) break, play another game. I switch between ESO and GW2. Different games, both are fun.

clayandaudrey_ESO · February 2016

I never said it wasn't a good thing. I just think it is a little misleading when you call your site a gaming company.

And about your comment of seeing people in other games I think you should if you have hit a wall here you need something different. As I said I'm my first comment, which was my response to your OP, you need to diversify your gaming portfolio. Too much of any one thing is not good.

You should be proud of what you are doing. Will it be as big as dulfy.net only time will tell. I just think you should call it a gaming website not a company as that sounds more like development.

I'm really sorry to see you go Cazzy. Such a bright and hopeful flame for ESO seems to have been extinguished far too quickly. I think this thread is a great example of how full of seething bile this forum has become. Anymore I feel like I'm wasting my time on here because if you have ANY criticisms of ZOS the White Knights come out in their bloodstained tabards to defend ZOS and ESO and slay any who oppose them.

This thread was trying to appeal to ZOS to ask them to make ESO a more engaging product. To explain that many players do NOT want to just run trials until the next DLC is out. A good deal of the customer base are MMO players, sure, but a lot of us are here because of TES alone and in TES titles we're used to being able to "make our own fun" so to speak.

ESO is missing emergent fun! And the forumites trash OP personally.

Stay classy ESO forum.

On a positive note, since @Cazzy plays on PS4, she obviously have PS+... Check out Helldivers: Democracy Strikes Back and Nom Nom Galaxy (the PS+ games for February). They may provide you with some refreshing gameplay.

Samsayia · February 2016

@Cazzy you're setting yourself up to be trolled .__.;; like, running right down the path that trolls pick apart. Don't make yourself troll food.

NobleNerd · February 2016

@Cazzy If you are looking for players to RP with I would suggest checking out:

1.) https://thehumanfloyd.wordpress.com/
2.)http://teso-rp.com/

Those are both good spring-boards to helping you find players in ESO that role play.

As far as the ESO-LULs of not sure what to do next, I myself go in and out of them a lot lately. I manage a guild (which keeps me busy), but lately many of my members have drifted from ESO mostly because of the issues with PvP and the lack of anything new and meaningful happening to it. If it wasn't for the guild management I too would not be spending much time in ESO right now.

I would suggest maybe some personal goals..... Have you completed achievements, zones, collected all the lore books/sky shards, etc? Maybe try new builds on your toons (?).

Unfortunately there is no real "end game" to ESO right now with Trials not being scaled and just plain stale content (or lack of it) at max level. So if you are the end game grouping type it is very weak.

Chaquinho89 · February 2016

I feel you...

I've been doing almost the same thing, although I log in everyday to farm my enlightened CP, and do the Crafting Writs. Then I log off...
I used to farm Laurels and undaunted keys too, but it takes so long to find a full group to run dungeons (if I'm even able find any), so I just quit trying.

Canceled my sub and the remaining time ran off, so I don't have access to the DLCs anymore, but whatever really...

I say if Eso had some sort of battle ground for players it woul be a repeatable content for rewards like a dungeon or such with a spin on them. This would take some work and thought and programing into it but it would be cool.

A dungeon of sorts that changes. Not specifically the layout of the dungeon but rather the monsters in the dungeons and bosses. That every time you run this encounter it changes making it like a new world every time.

Or even add a Dungeon Editor. That you can create a playable dungeon for your friends or for other groups to partake in for an additional challenge or fun. Could have x amount of spending points( or not) per room for monsters traps or random events(you reach a certain area and monsters spawn in from another dimension to surprise you.) And once you finish creating your own said dungeon you have the option of seeing how it plays through before publishing it to the new create a dungeon section of group finder(?) This mode of seeing how it plays through you would be in (developer mode aka invincible) just to see if the mechanics work as you intend( reaching a certain spot and monsters spawning and things of that nature.) then once you publish the dungeon it is open for others to see and participate in( even yourself.) Drops(if any) would be based on the bosses being taken on(not the player who created it.) Once you publish the created dungeon you can no longer go in the developer mode(god mode) in that dungeon only as the char you play as(unless you edit the dungeon .)

What do you think?

NeillMcAttack · February 2016

I think it's safe to say that the number of people here that would be sad to see you go, far out weighs the one or two children making negative comments.

I've been around gaming forums a little over a decade and you really should learn to ignore the clowns.

Anyway, you should remember that if you are doing what you love, you never 'work' a day in your life. and when it comes to your 'entire' life. Happiness trumps income. Keep on, keeping on.

smacx250 · February 2016

I've been close to that a few times. But I've found things that I hadn't done, and did them. Master Angler was one I spent quite a bit of time on. Another time I pretty much just did trading (buying & selling mostly - traveling each day from trader to trader looking for interesting deals) to see if I could get into the top 20 sales of one of the largest trade guilds (I did, and after a while moved on to other things). I've popped in and out of PvP - it really isn't bad if you just look at it as an experience and not get hung up on the crap that happens when things lag out, or dwell too much on kills and ap (I don't run in groups, so don't see the personality issues you speak of - and it makes it easier to just go in and out on a whim). I haven't done much with the justice system, but with thieves guild coming out, it is a perfect time for me to look into exploring that some more (I guess be dammed with being a do-gooder hero!). So there have been some slow times, but at least for me I continue to find there is fun to be had!

Gidorick · February 2016

I think those would be great ideas @Lightninvash ! We've suggested them in the past... met with silence. *shrug*

I'm currently working on Master Angler and also farming for the Lich set. That should see me through till the new DLC.

Heck I think anything similar would be fun even without any significant rewards(if any.) Just to have something more to do. I mean heck some people would prob spend most their time just making new dungeons. I know some people find that an amazing feature. @Gidorick I will probably send the idea to a dev and see what they say haha

Oh no! Cazzy,..dont go! We'll miss t he heck out of you. Please let me know what game you go to and I'll join you.I wont leave ESO,,but w ill play there with you.IF you will be on PC.I dont have a PS4. :{

Cazzy · February 2016

It's ok, I won't go

Took a breather today and calmed down a bit. I don't want to leave and certainly won't allow myself to be ran off

Cheered me up an incredible amount to see how many friends I've made here. Not going to get too soppy, but, y'know

RAGUNAnoOne · February 2016

I'm sorry I took so long I saw some of the *** that was being spewed but I was in classes all day and couldn't get time to respond. I am appalled they treated you so horridly and for unrelated stuff as well. I am glad that you are at least staying ESO should not loose people who actually care about the community because some people decide to be A-holes.

This is getting weird again...

Burnout is very real... I'm actually going through it as we speak.

For me, it's not that there is nothing to do in the game; rather, everyone now and again, I just don't feel like doing anything in the game.

I have v16s of each class (multiples of a couple) and have now resorted to lowbie PvP with a friend whose play time only matches up with mine on weekends. I have my #1 DK spot on vMA for NA, tanking current trials bores me to tears, vet dungeons make me cringe, and completed Cadwell's Gold twice.

I'm going to play super casually until TG drops... probably stream some PTS shenanigans, build a new computer, say hi to the wife...

The good thing is that this will pass. I was burned out before Craglorn, IC, and Orsinium, only to return after their releases feeling refreshed and ready to go.

What's weird? Cazzy knows what I was talking about.Nothing weird.It's like getting sappy cos everyone's being so nice.You get all mushy inside.Leave it to some people to find weirdness where there is none.

Delete all your characters, donate a large part of your gold and start at the bottom of the heap. I'm not being sarcastic, I have more fun at the lowest levels than any other part of the game. Sometimes it's the struggle that makes it enjoyable. Maybe just take a break from the game for a while and see if you miss it.

This is actually not a bad suggestion. As much as I love EVE online for example, I sometimes get to a point where I feel like Cazzy in ESO - this is the right time to play or do something else and come back once the urge for blade and shield returns. Or maybe just see it as a kind of vacation, relax and do not think about combat, but just enjoy the landscapes of Tamriel, make photos of regions you like under certain different lighting conditions and so - there is a lot of beauty in this game, seen at the right time of day and in the right lighting. I sometimes just stop and pause to take the atmosphere in, just enjoying it doing nothing else. You don't have to be permanently active in the game, just enjoy your virtual life, don't put pressure on yourself.

Edit: Ah well, I have to correct it, I do not suggest to delete your characters, just to have a break or see Tamriel as a vacation destination.

I run a gaming company

whats the company name

the name is in Cazzy's signature just right below every of her comments.

Lysette · February 2016

@Cazzy don't take these comments seriously about your company. Go for what your vision is and try your best and you will a fun doing and and success comes with it, when you are really into it. Passion is what it takes mainly. I always suggest the speech from Steve jobs about that, because this is really a key element - passion, hard word and being a good personal scout.

It is really important to watch it - if you don't have yet here it is

She actually has a company, a Ltd, that is even an own legal "person" and acts like one. She is the CEO, so she is running it. There is nothing wrong in what Cazzy said. What is wrong is your idea about what the word '"company" means.

Glad to see you are stickin around and not letting "interweb bullies" ruin things for you. I for one would hate to see you move on for that particular reason.

You should be proud!! Starting your own business is a scary thing!! Doesn't matter what kind of business it is, it takes guts!

As for your OP, I've been there. Its easy to get burnt out when you've done it all, seen it all. When that happens to me, I just play something else for a little. Dragon Age kept me occupied for about a month, didn't even log in to ESO and you know what, it was wonderful! lol! I came back refreshed and ready to play. Sometimes you just need a little break.
