I've been happily playing the game since the PC launch (with no performance issues). I don't do PvP or competitive PvE and stick to solo PvE plus cooperative play for things like delves, public dungeons and dolmens etc. I play many characters across two accounts. I don't play all day every day but regard ESO as my main MMO "home" these days while also playing various other games as well as doing other things in my retirement.

I would say that when I PVE, I am happy. When I PVP, I am unhappy. The cheaters and exploiters are ruining PVP in this game. I've had good customer service and bad (relating response to PVP cheating). The crown store prices are too high now. I used to buy lots of mounts and pets, but now they cost more than the DLCs, which is too much. Subbing and buying crowns is too much money. Not complaining as much as telling it like it is. I have certain amount each month I can spend on this hobby.

I've played mmos for 10+ yrs so i kno what it takes to deal wit some of the issues wit the genre in general lol. All in all I love ESO!

PVE

There is that never-ending problem with the dungeon finder (not as tank but as dd).
But that doesn't bother me that much since I can just enjoy the look of the game - it's beautiful, one can take screenshots
every minute.

And the fighting ingame: it's not just click and hit - you actually have to target someone or look in the right direction, you have to move, block,... it feels more "real" that the "press that button end everything's fine" of other games.
But that's the reason why I love all the ElderScrolls games I guess - and the graphics.

Started playing on first day of Early Access in March 2014 and I play almost every day, exclusively PVE, frequently on lower level characters. I do questing, exploring, daily quests, and sell stuff in the Guild Store. I do not do end game content and have stopped doing PVP. I have never done a Trial, Veteran dungeon, or any Arena. I play to have fun, not to be optimal, and I have little interest in comparing my "manhood" with other players. Until 6 months ago, I never even bothered to find out my DPS, and now that I do, I have no idea whether 5k, or 8k, is actually good, or bad, for a level 35 character, or a level 50 character.

I find my own things to do in the game, which may be quests, or achievements, or whatever I just happen to feel like doing that day. I make my own goals and challenges. I occasionally try to take from the game that which the game would gladly kill me for, like skyshard hunting in higher level zones, and soloing bosses and dolmens. Other times, I just farm stuff, go fishing, or hunt chests and troves in the far corners. This is made more interesting knowing that some of the places I go are lethal at my character's level. I spent hours solo farming Craglorn for nirncrux at Veteran Rank 1 without picking fights with the natives.

In all of this, what I don't have is Cyrodiil lag. I do not have spontaneous loading screens. I do not get disconnected. I do not have race or class balance issues. I do not have problems with keep wall exploits. Customer service, although I rarely need them, gets back to me in hours, is friendly, and has been helpful. My ESO Plus always renews, my Crowns always appear. While I do get bugs, and some PVE server attention deficit disorder, this is well below the level of annoyance. I let ZOS know when it is otherwise.

So yeah... very happy with the game as it exists today on the Live server.

My greatest fear is that One Tamriel will change the game so much that it won't be fun to go find my own things to do because there will be so much less for me to do. If the game becomes an at-level romp through a scaled world where all the monsters, resources, and challenges are the same, and every player is striving to be doing end-game content and PVP, exclusively, there won't be much of interest for me to do. If anything makes me leave ESO, it will be One Tamriel.

I'm generally unhappy with how long it takes for bug fixes to come out. I'm talking about PvP balance changes. This has generally halted my play time. I used to play for hours every day, now its maybe a couple a week....

If I weren't generally happy, I wouldn't be here. I would neither praise the game nor complain about the game on the forums, because I would be off doing something else.

It is, in fact, the generally high quality of so much of the game that makes the game's failures all the more noticeable and bothersome. A sense of "how did the same people who did [brilliant thing] also do [very not-brilliant thing]?" comes up pretty frequently for me.

I can get pretty frustrated, but only because I've seen just how good ZOS is capable of being.

For every complaint I have, I have a dozen more praises

That's how I feel too.

Not that I lack complaints or that I am unaware of the issues with the game, but the good far outweighs the bad for me.

As for what I do in the game, I do a bit of everything. Solo PvE, group PvE, solo PvP, RP, questing, grinding, crafting... Group PvP is really the only thing that I hardly ever do. Maybe one day I will join a PvP guild, but for now I just roam alone and pray on strangles unless I happen to bump into a group in Cyrodiil.

I am almost exclusively a PvE player. I used to frequent Imperial City before the capture mechanic was introduced, because it was the right mix of PvE and PvP for me. Now I only hit up Cyro for the Alliance War Skills that improve my PvE gameplay.

The graphics are stunning and the PvE content is generally well made. The combat mechanics are like no other game I've played before.

I don't play for the graphics or the PvE content. I play for the combat mechanics. The competitive PvP. That part is currently in a bad place, and I see no sign on the PTS that it is getting any better. We'll see.

Can't tolerate the state of this game anymore.

I range from generally happy to generally bored to generally unhappy

Pros:
Best mmo combat.
Best Questing
Beautiful game at 4k
Like concept of Champion System

Cons:
Dislike there are only 4 classes
Dislike the treatment of players who don't subscribe
Need a better group finder
More public adventure zones
