If u stoped ur "subscription" WHY?

InvitationNotFound · June 2016

well, i didn't see a single reason to sub after they changed their subscription model (which was fine for me btw.).

There's only c*** in the crown store and otherwise no reason to give them a single coin.

Seriously, after all the c*** they released with every dlc (broken mechanics, bugs not fixed which were reported during pts, etc) / update i don't see a reason to shove them more money up their a****s.

and i can't understand people (especially pvp players) who support them and giving them money while being f****d in the a**. doesn't make sense at all.

Zaldan · June 2016

I get the same level of bug fixing and maintenance if I pay or play for free and ZO$ stopped providing a service that's worth paying for

Enodoc · June 2016

I cancelled my sub when they announced Imperial City as a paid DLC.

Imperial City was supposed to be the final piece of ESO's PvP. By making it a paid DLC, it could not be an integrated part of that PvP experience.
Imperial City was supposed to have access gated based on your alliance's performance in Cyrodiil. Because it was paid DLC, they couldn't implement gated access because they'd be shutting you out of something you'd paid for. (They did try it, but that didn't last long.)
Imperial City was supposed to have an impact on the Campaign scoring and the gameplay in Cyrodiil. Because it was paid DLC, they couldn't make that connection because it would be something that also affected those players without the DLC (ie, being affected by things you have no control over, which is bad).
Imperial City was supposed to have an involved District Control system which involved the Daedra as one of the interested parties, and to capture a district you had to enter small PvP-enabled Coldharbour dungeons. District Capture was eventually added, but in a severely reduced capacity which is just a repeat of the flag mechanics (and associated zerging tactics) seen at Cyrodiil resources.
Imperial City was supposed to have 4 or 5 daily quests per district, and another 6 in the Sewers. That's around 30 repeatable quests. The questing that we ended up with is barely a shadow of what it could have been, and 6 dailies in total is not really enough to keep you going. (To be fair though, the story is pretty good. But the fact that you need a group for almost half of it is quite irritating.)

Laggus · June 2016

Because of ZOS policy and attitude on cheaters/cheating and censoring/closing/deleting all discussions on it.

TheDuck · June 2016

Reasons? Here's a few.

1. No centralized trading / buying / selling (aka Auction House)
2. Guild Trader system is horrible.
3. No text chat for consoles (Im on Xbone)
4. Constant class nerfs to patronize the whiny PVPers
5. Activity Finder - Hmmm, need I say more?
6. Since DB the game has been unplayable for me. Constant CTDs and freezes.

ESO could have been great, but it's looking like it never will.

Bravo Sir. Bravo. That is one helluva post. I wish I could give you 1,000 insightfuls.

Cancelled mine this morning, although it's a six month cycle which renewed a couple of weeks ago so I have some time left to see if things change before losing ESO+ perks.

First reason: the shambles which is the cheat engine issue.

Second reason: @ZOS_MattFiror saying there are no hardcore ESO players. I know it was not his intent, but that's pretty damn insulting to the people like myself who have been here since the start.

Also just to show I'm not bluffing.

Nice gesture but lol - not as though you'll be without that crafting bag anytime soon xD

E for Effort.

It is actually funny cause when you're new and just getting into the game, you first read that ESO is no subscription required. Of course that is true for the non-DLC portion, but then to be able to get into Wrothgar and Hew's bane (and now DB), you have to subscribe. I know you don't have to.. but, that is not the point. Normally for a good game, such as this, you would drop the extra money and get the DLC. However, unlike this game, other games' DLC are normally a one-time purchase. To experience the most out of ESO and Tamriel, you would need to get all the DLC. So, overall, ESO is technically subscription required. I find that funny because there is no mention of a required subscription for the DLCs when you first buy the main game. I guess.. unless you have the time and dedication to properly research beforehand.

I don't quite understand what you mean here. All of the ESO dlc's are one time purchases as well. Don't you have to buy all the available DLC's in any game to experience the most out of said game?

FLuFFyxMuFFiN wrote: »

But you don't have to sub to get the DLC. You have the choice to pay a one time fee for the DLC and have it forever or you can sub and have access to the DLC as long as you remain subbed. So they still stay true to the "No Subscription Required" model.

Also, I am keeping my sub as long as I am having fun in the game. Yes it sucks they supposedly let the cheaters back in the game but I am not going to let that effect me. I am still going to go on about my business and just have fun.

Am I missing something here?! I purchased the ESO premium/DLC bundle (before DB) for $14.95 (USC) and now in my second month, I was just automatically charged another $14.95. If you're being charged $14.95 monthly, which seems to be a reoccurring charge, then it is a subscription.. yeah?? Also,, for PS4 folks, you have to pay the monthly subscription to PSN, in order to be able to play online. Oh, don't get me wrong, I like ESO a lot (so far), so, it's worth it (so far) to spend the money, even monthly.

That sounds about right. You already pay Mickysoft Gold membership, for being able to use multiplayer at all, if I remember that correct.

I am playing on PC and I won't subscribe on a game, that logs me out every 2-4 loading screens. This game is a typical Bethesda bug fest. I only pay once for this kind of games.

Additional this is more a single player game, than a MMO. You can see that, with their decision, how they solve the material gathering in the future, not understanding, that YOUR char, with which you are gathering mats, isn't important at all to the level of the material, neither is his crafting level. They see this clearly as a game, where you have only ONE char, and don't craft for other players or work together with others. They will never ever get the meaning of what a MMO is about.

Pizza Hut is not able to make pizza. I don't know what you think about the abominations you can buy there. But it's not pizza at all. Eat some real ones. -> If I want to eat bread, I go to a bakery.

Draxys · June 2016

Because why would anyone pay for a broken game that is mostly not very fun anymore? I stopped giving them money when consoles came out. 1.6 kicked over the game's proverbial bucket for me.

iNSiPiD1 · June 2016

I subbed on and off through the past year, and I would say that for me seeing them introduce the crafting bag really set off red flags. I think that type of content is core content, and should not be locked behind a monthly fee. It should be purchasable with Crowns.

I also don't agree with the Champion Point system in the long run, and I disagree with the way their taking the game by making everything the same level. Also, the game is just too easy.

I think ESO could have a lot going for it down the road, but I just don't agree with some of the recent decisions at all.

KingMagaw · June 2016

Game decisions are going downhiill in my opinion.

Lag is getting worse, even on PvE and trails now.

Blatant cheating going on. Zo$ rescinding perma-bans. Reeks of a broke company no integrity.

Zo$ Ignoring forums and Daryk thread sweeper sweeping topics under the carpet. Example below.

ZOS_DaryaK wrote:

Hey folks, as detailed here, these threads are attracting a lot of problems. For the moment, we are locking these threads to give the topic a chance to cool down. We will be re-opening that thread, or posting a new one, in the future so discussion can resume. We will hopefully have more information to share at that time.

Players/Clients and people who support the game are talking about there weak stance on cheating and allowing cheaters back into game. Thread was problems because of there stance, not the community discussing it. They want the topic to cool down simply equates to shutting it down.
So instead of discussing there actions, or lack of, on cheating they silence anyone. Just a bad practice in my eyes and i am not funding it.

I don't really get the point of 'I unsubbed' threats. No one on the forums really cares if you unsubbed.
You would do better job sending the news to ZOS directly. Not that it makes a difference but you are their customer so it concerns them more than the forum community..

I also miss a point of people posting on a "why I unsubbed" thread anything else than "why I unsubbed" posts.

Because these people have absolutely no life. It's why they sit on forums all day and rage at the developers and one another.

Everything that has been discussed here is genuinely our feelings and thoughts on why the game is not worth the money anymore and a way Zenimax Online can get the feedback they decided to ignore when we cancel our subscriptions.

The forums exist for more than "nerf this, love that - x is bugged" threads and it is outrageous to see every game turn into this after a couple months. And yes I was lied to when they stated that there would be a roleplaying server. Such a great feature was one of the top reasons I was hyped and put a lot of interest into the game. This and the (complete)justice system.

ESO seems to exist for the sole purpose of hyping the TES community, and to deliver a hollow cake with a "no ETA but working on that" ticket tied to it. And don't get that Wrobel in another Live ESO, why invite a developer to state bluntly he is ignoring feedback entirely? And Kyle feels like is being punished by playing ESO and just makes it clearer when he does live. Probably none of them play this game in their free time and this is a shame because we need TES fans to develop this game, not simply industry employees ready to crash another setting before moving on to the next.

C0wrex · June 2016

I ran out of money.

Stikato · June 2016

I stopped my sub when they announced B2P. I had enough 'loyalty' crowns to purchase IC, and that was the last money I spent. I played almost every day until TG, and stopped playing because I got tired of massive balance changes and skill tweaks every patch instead of more gradual and nuanced fixes over time.

I still enjoy reading the forums from time to time, and I do think about coming back occasionally. But, the above and other reasons keep me away:

Never lived up to the Elder Scrolls name. ES games were always about freedom of action. This is a thinly-concealed quest hub on rails design. The mobs hit like they have nerf weapons. There is zero sense of danger or death repercussions. If this game could have combined perhaps some GW2-style dynamic quests, some sensible open world PVP (Justice system, anyone?) and kept the mostly excellent active combat system, this game could have been so much more. Instead we have a sanitized world, every quest is the same (spoiler: the key to saving the town is always in the mysterious cave nearby) where you have to practically afk to die.

It is just impossible to ignore the fact that most of the quality of life aspects of this game (dev communication, regular balancing, bugs, cheating, lag, crashing) have been steadily declining for at least six months to well over a year. It is clear that ZOS is quite happy with this quality and is willing to put in only the bare minimum of money/effort into the game in order to continue to make DLC and crown store sales.

At this point, the only thing I can hope for is that I never have to see the colossal disappointment that would be the ESO version of Vvardenfell.

PainfulFAFA · June 2016

Stopped due to zos incompetance since 1.6

KICHZY · June 2016

People want communication
People want bug fixes
People want text chat on console
People want the Cyrodiil lag fixed
People want cheaters permanently banned

People want there overall gaming experience with ESO to be improved, For Q3 screw your DLC and actually give the community that has supported you for 2 years what they actually want for a change! I won't subscribe to ESO Plus again until I see change.

Artis · June 2016

I just realized that if I don't pay sub - I lose access to all DLCs, so I started buying them. Now at this point, after buying 3 of them, subbing would make no sense too now or in future because I already spend so many crowns on buying DLCs that why would I want to pay for access to them?

neville_bart0s · June 2016

unsubbed today because the game doesnt work on xbox. the game used to work good but each update makes the frame rate lower and lag worse.

You can look at it slightly differently when it comes to Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood due to there size and lack of activities. Both DLC's base themselves around solo 10-15 hour gameplay that has no replay value so technically it's cheaper becoming an ESO Plus member for 1 month, completing the story and saving the crowns for a sale.

LAG!

Jim_Berry · June 2016

I haven't resubbed for a simple reason: I have yet to even reach Lv50, and I had the game since launch. I keep re-rolling my character until I find the one I want.

TheHsN · June 2016

I hope now ZOS... will read all of the comments and act...

and as i see they started a THREAD CHEAT AND EXPLOIT... i guess we have our first seccess:)...
