Just watched tonight's "We are ESO" Stream, and I wanted to give a quick shout out to
@ZOS_RichLambert, and the rest of the dev team.
You guys catch a lot of flack sometimes, and people love to bastardize the dev team, but you should know that there are plenty of players out there who love and appreciate the ridiculous amount of work you guys put in every day of every week making this game great.
There are so many outspoken, rage-filled people on here and in the streams that the voices of those who want to be helpful and constructive often get drowned out. The thing to remember is that the only reason those negative, berating people are so aggressive is because you've created something that they, and the rest of us, have come to love and develop a deep, unrelenting passion for this game. That passion gets the better of us sometimes.
In short, I just want to commend you all for taking your passion and building something that the rest of us can get so passionate about. ESO has been, and likely will be for quite some time, my #1 (free) time sink.
All I can say to you for that, is thank you. It's good to know that the people behind my favorite pastime are listening to what I have to say. It's truly an amazing thing when you have some of a game's top players together having a discussion and they can look at the audience and say "ZOS is watching this".
So to ZOS:
On behalf of those of us that feel as though we've been drowned out; Thank you for this game, and everything you've done trying to keep this incredibly complex and diverse player base happy and engaged. Thank you for never ceasing your efforts at making it even better since launch. Thank you for continuing to listen to us, despite the negativity you face.
Thank you.
And to the players of ESO:
If you want your opinion, suggestion, or idea to be heard; Turn off your caps lock, keep away from that exclamation mark key, and remember to be constructive in your discussions. They mean it when they say they're listening, and they're working harder than you'll ever know, so try to cut them some slack before you rage.
