Zenimax,
I've been here since beta & seen many ups & downs with regards to Elder Scrolls Online. The purpose of this post is to let everyone know what an overall great job you guys have done with this game. This game has been the best game, not best mmo, best "game" since launch; and still continues to be. (in my opinion of course.)
We cry, we complain, we discuss, but never forget the thousands of us who log in everyday & really enjoy continuing to do so.
Many people are very passionate about this game & that's the reason for some of the negativity; please do not let this discourage you from striving to improve!
Every change isn't always the right change, but they often lead toward the right change; even if it takes time.
Thank you for not only your latest release, but all of the improvements that you guys/girls have been working towards.
Regards,
-Kai

GorraShatan✭✭✭✭Agreed 100%. No game is perfect, and there are legitimate concerns that people have, but overall the game is pretty good, and I enjoy it more and more every day. Cheers.5 -

✭The game's only been getting better since launch. Only time I ever had anything to dislike was when veteran ranks were a thing.
Being stuck in VR3 shadowfen pre nerf and having nobody around to help you kill world bosses or difficult quest mobs was hell.
But since then I've been enjoying this game a hell of a lot.Edited by Vrienda on October 20, 2016 7:07AMDesperate for Roleplaying servers to bring open world non-organised RP to Elder Scrolls Online. Please ZOS.3 -

✭Have to generally agree. Sure there's problems, there are in all MMO's.
The only real grip I have right now, is who in their right mind thought "Hey, we'll have a sale in the middle of the month" - that way, we get less people to purchase crowns.
*shakes head*
Outside of that, thumbs up.

Mephilis78✭✭✭A ray of light in a weary web.... Thank you ZOS! BTW I wrote an article about a month ago on ESO and One Tamriel, https://mephooger.wordpress.com/2016/09/07/elder-scrolls-online-back-to-its-roots/
I'll have to write a review now that I've actually played it, (somewhere between my planned witcher and TES 6 articles).Edited by Mephilis78 on October 20, 2016 7:20AM"'You have suffered for me to win this throne, and I see how you hate jungle. Let me show you the power of Talos Stormcrown, born of the North, where my breath is long winter. I breathe now, in royalty, and reshape this land which is mine. I do this for you, Red Legions, for I love you.'" The Many Headed Talos - Michael Kirkbride0 -

SlayerTheDragon✭✭✭✭✭No.
All that has changed is how well ZOS can rake cash in. That has been their sole focus.- PVP is an utter mess
- Trait RNG is just such a very bad and lazy game design
- Lag is still an issue
- Balance between sets and skills...
If there was any other gaming option out there, half of this community would be gone.¤═══¤ People don't like it when you talk to them with your weapon drawn ¤═══¤3 -

It must be hard to be so "Pro" that no game can possibly keep up with your "L33t" skills. The pain you must feel every time you open up a game, knowing that it will never be able to keep up with your "twitch" reactions. The state of boredom you must feel after 10 minutes of gaming, yet being the hero you are, you push through and continue playing.

SaibotLiu✭✭✭✭I dont really play ESO anymore but thinking of diving back into it. What I can say Im thankful for Zenimax doing is carrying the fire for the AAA MMOs that arent being made anymore. The genre sucks and is pretty much dead, this game may end up being the last of its kind to be made.0 -

✭PVP is an utter mess
Not really a PVP'r but is fun in IC. If I was a betting man, I would say the numbers are higher on PVE than PVP. Therefore the focus will always be on that. If there are games with better PVP, why are you here playing this one?
Trait RNG is just such a very bad and lazy game design
Agreed. It could certainly be better. But it is what it is and they are looking at making changes, although it will never be quick enough for some. I think we come back to the "Min/Max" player who only wants Divines/Infused and will accept no less as it will compromise their amazing build. The vast majority within the game are not Min/Maxers.
Lag is still an issue
Tricky one this. I whole heartedly agree, having been kicked offline 5 times last night in 3 hours. Frustrating to say the least. Most games have issues with it, but some not as bad as others. In this situation, the game is built around a system that was designed back in when? 2011/2012? Technologies have changed a lot and quite frankly, there is no financial justification for them to re-write it/re-architect it.
Balance between sets and skills...
Again, we're back to Min/Maxing here. For the vast majority they are wandering around, enjoying PVP, Role Playing, doing quests etc. On a plus side, we've seen ZOS start to take action with the (granted poorly) change in the IC Trophy drops and the gear you get from there. Hell, I used over 800 trophies and wasted them all on poor design, but whatever, it's a game.
To me, people seem to get very wrapped up in the minor things in a game and get very vocal about it based on an emotional response over an above a logical one. I'm pissed off that they are having a sale in the middle of the month, which makes no marketing sense what-so-ever...but it is what it is.
If I was actually that pissed off, I'd un-install the game like I did with BDO and move on. Like you said, "Half the community would move on if there was something better". Well, from your considered opinion, there isn't, otherwise you wouldn't still be here *smiles*. So don't get annoyed, don't bring others down, just chill a bit. It's a game. It's used to get away from reality.
If it annoys you that much, turn it off or un-install it and move on.

That
And I would add
-Non existing customers support
-Cheat engine and exploiterswho never got banned or got back after 3 days
-Broken abilities,passives,sets
-"RNG" who favors certain traits !!
-Buggs who stay in the game for months and never get a hotfix!!
And tbh i could go on for hours.
I love the game and this is why I am still playing but they are far away from doing a good job.2 -

@SlayerTheDragon
I agree with your list, I would add others.
I still enjoy the game though even with the bugs, although somedays I do need to step away.0 -

Sad that you don't think fair criticisms of the game are allowed, without labeling that person.
It's great you live in a world where you like the bugs, but many expect better and think ZOS should strive to be better.1
