As a bit of background - I originally started playing ESO in beta. After a few months I stopped, as the bugs and bots were driving me crazy, and certain aspects of the game annoyed me. Some still do - the single bank for one, and the aucutioning system for another. I know many people dont mind the current set ups for those and thats fine, its an individual thing. But one of my frustrations stems from the second system.
The driving need by so many guilds to earn gold through their guild stores in my opinion removes a lot of the social aspect of the game. Almost every guild I've tried (and you have plenty of options to try them) have concentrated, to one degree or another, on making gold. Most of them have minimum requirements which I've found harder to meet due to my drop off in play time. I've never managed to find a social guild similar to the best ones I'm a member of in WoW - guilds that help their members, have fun events, do raiding on whatever level they are up to, do dungeons together and so on. I guess guilds like that are out there in ESO somewhere but, as I say, I've never managed to find one. (and I have to say I dont quite get the drive to make gold For what purpose? To get a good store location. To make more gold. To keep getting a good store location. To keep making gold. Its like ok - but where does this carousel actually stop at?)
Anyway, that tiny grump aside, I've just become bored with it, and the boredom is mostly tied to my not being able to find that friendly supportive guild environment that I'm used to. I can put up with the round of professions quests, the levelling of one alt after another doing the same quests over and over, but without some meaningful reason to get to that upper level, I don't quite see my purpose in being there.
As a PS - Im in Australia, and if anyone happens to know of the kind of social, fun, friendly, activity-driven guild I'm talking about for players in that area, let me know. It might stir my interest up again.

I am none of those as my game time is really limited so i want to run Vet Trials for fun not to be the BEST amazing group ever. It was like that when Craglorn first came out if you remember? Apart from it was players asking you to link and show Achievement of Trials completion before a group would let you join. That put me off back then and now its even worse as the Vet Trials are much more difficult. Well i hope all these stuck up and glory hunting players have fun with themselves when players like myself leave due to being left out.
Whenever i read "im from beta" i stop reading automatically.
Sorry but what is the need to mention that? It doesnt give your opinion anyore credibility than someone who started playing a month ago for me. And yes, I played the beta too but it doesnt mean anything
