    As a pure pvper having cyrodiil basicly broken by lagg atm almost at all hours of the day is....well yea. I can only play IC these days, sure its kinda fun, but you run out of players to kill after a couple hours of roaming sewers and the district.

    90 - 80% Frustration To 10 - 20% Fun
    Mainly playing PvP I've found myself mostly frustrated with the current game. I've seen many of friends leave over the past year. Just this past month since TG about 50 players from one of my PvP guilds left.

    Whatever they did in TG made the latency/performance issues in Cyrodiil much worse. Beyond the point of blissful ignorance.

    Hope to see Zenimax sort these things out in the near future. I love this game and I love the idea behind it. I would like to see it succeed and actually be playable once again.

    the sweet spot between not enough people in cyrodiil to really pvp and too many causing stop motion animation style lag :(

    I got this game mainly for the PvE questing aspect, and that's almost all I do at the moment. I really enjoy it. (I would have preferred a 90% fun option but there wasn't one.)

    Most of my frustration comes from fairly minor but consistently irritating things like being unable to use an armour skin I really like because it's not available with the stats I need (e.g. if I prefer the look of a low level crafted set but my character is way above the level range for it) and needing to spend most of my gold on bank and bag space to store crafting materials.

    I love this game. I haven't stopped playing it since Beta and I enjoy ALL aspects of the game. The thing that frustrates me though is the missing basic content and updates.

    They have said for a long time now that "Barber Shop is coming" "PvP fixes are coming" "More challenging Content"

    Now I do understand that MoL has just been released and it is great content. But how late was a new trial? The only V16 PvE group content.

    Also, older trials and DSA not scaling is pretty upsetting actually. I look DSA gear and just wonder why they cant be V16. Some of the best sets in the game kept at the old cap hurts. This also applies to other gear sets.

    We have all witnessed the emergency hotfixes for any way XP can be gained faster than usual, but any fixes to other content like PvP performances we have to wait "Till the next major update" This is too long.

    "You want X content? Its coming but no ETA"

    I will be on ESO probably till the end. The Elderscrolls series is my home. There are more positives than negatives in my eyes. I just think some things need to be handled and prioritised better by Zenimax. But this is only my opinion.

    I often finf the game more frustrating than fun. I used to find the frustration an obstacle to overcome. I thought in time players would progress.

    My frustration is PvP. I remember Solo defending vs 30 players. Knocking folks from walls with flame clench and actually having them die. I remember when NPC guards would help wipe a group (12k quick shots were no joke).

    Then Imperial City came forcing better group tactics...

    I loved the idea in theory. Build a group rather than a character. But herein is the trouble. Folks think if they build an ultimate 1v1 character they make a good group member. Lots of useful skills and armors go unused. 80 man zergs stand outside blue road with noone sieging because everyone thinks its someone elses job. Or when you finally get in everyone fights under the oil.

    Or you are preparing to defend a castle only to have some baffoon with a bow try to focus aim someone and get 6 DKs to dragon leap up on them. Or half your defenders run into the hole in the wall and die to siege.

    In the end, my frustration comes most from player ignorance. How the masses have yet to figure out how to play baffles me. And so when my star guildies are unavailable, I am forced to watch everyone be stupid. Watch 30 people gap close a pile of proxy dets and get wiped. I just keep holding out hope that the next patch will bring a change.

    I would fall into the 95% fun, 5% frustration for some of the passing glitches I've encountered. For the most part, this game is a dream, a true elder scrolls experience that can be shared with friends and family. I've had an incredible time doing TG quests with my brother, even though it's primarily a solo area.
    Part of my frustration has a lot to do with the legitimate concern with lag that the community of PVPers express. I don't PVP much, but I've done enough to understand the frustration of these players and I think a flaw of this magnitude in the over all game hurts not only the PVPers, but the morale of all players and developers alike. We can't have an important part of our community experiencing that degree of frustration.
    I sincerely hope that ZOS is putting significant resources into addressing this issue.

    There's no doubt of my addiction, I'm about two weeks away from having 8 vet 16's.

    I love this game but it kicks me in the kuta at least three times a day during writ hand ins thanks to broken Wrothgar on Xbox.. (I post this all over the forums in the hope ZoS will finally admit it's broken - I'm in denial mky).

    Then we have that lovely 200-300 ping living in Australia where you must dodge roll and not step out of red circles because of the delay, the iffy bar swapping where you hit bar swap once and it does nothing then hit it twice and it bar swaps twice. You should hear my mate and I screaming at our characters "are you going to bar swap useless?" "Cast your shield or die loser, shall I press the button for the 90th time?" Haha.

    Then we have the glorious atrocity that is cyrodiil, only playable when it's empty (none of my Stam builds have vigor and I've been playing over 2k hours but after the fourth crash in the pvp hour I leave).

    Oh and my favourite... Standing on a hill in the main cities yelling over everyone else's rap beats and trash talk just to try and get a group together (I've still never entered most trials) because text chat wasn't released with the game.

    Meh, still going to play another couple of thousand hours I'm sure. I'm masochistic like that.

    3 most annoying things at the moment:
    - Lack of meta-search engine to find specific items at guild traders.
    - Long loading screens in Wrothgar and Cyrodiil.
    - Reliance on RNG for bound items.

    20% frustration is way too high. 0% is too low for any game. I would say 10% frustration due to those occasions when the UI locks up and I need to reloadui plus the annoyances of managing inventory.

    Poll is a bit unbalanced, biased towards frustration.

    Cant vote for 100% fun because performance in Cyrodiil still needs a lot of work, AOE-caps are still in place and the game crashes at least 2-3 times per day.

    Because most things are so mind-numbingly easy and random fps drops for no reason at all with ping going to 1k+ when no other game does that out of 600+ games I got on my PC. My guild mates does somewhat make up for it though.

    I am unhappy because more and more new content was simply too difficult for pure random groups, which I like to play with because of time-managment and life-conditions :) So, I spent my money for expansions, which I can't really play, except the open-world map, which I need 1 or 2 days to play through. My money, which I spent for the expansion packs, seems thrown outa the window for me..

    1. IC sewers and white gold tower are -by far- too difficult
    2. Maelstrom Arena: a non-enjoyable experience

    This 2 points were the only "real reason" to bye the last 2 upgrades for me. But, it seems to me, that ZOS is only cathering the "Guild crowd", or the "organized play crowd", or the "pro gamers" (that are the 50% of this poll, who are happy with the game).

    Second, the infinite Templar nurfs, the Templar's primary defense ability, the absorb shield, got unnecessarily nurfed (for pvp) other a year ago, I do not tolerate that a class, which already is under-performing, is nurfed patch-by-patch. This shows the lack of pvp-balance competence, mainly Mr. Wheeler.

    Third, healing in PvP is not rewarded in the way it used to be, or like in other games! Often, healing people outside your group, won't even give you AP, but just Exp! ... (such a shame! and it's because of Mr. Wheeler!)

    (This is my personal opinion. Do not quote or replay, please! This thread is just about: How do you like the game!", not a discussion!)

    50/50, probably. When I do Maelstrom? 100% frustration. There's just nothing fun about it so I've given up on it.
