I think I spent the first two years of this game on the forums any time I wasn't logged in. Sometimes when I logged in I even read/posted on forums more than playing.

Took a break from the game bout six months ago and actually found it very boring to not come here and debate, rant, and project my cynical grumpy opinion on everyone.

So yeah I think I am an addict as well.

Guilty. It's more fun than Facebook.

Same! I usually start browsing forums while on a load screen, and then I just don't stop for like half an hour. Then I get booted for inactivity, and the whole process repeats lol.

I played a lot of MMOs, but the ESO forums are so toxic, it's unbelievable. Everyone hates each other, nobody likes new ideas. Bashing against Devs 24/7. It's sad.

How can you be addicted to that?

Yep. I spend more time here than I probably should. The thing is, despite the occasional bickering, posturing and dismissiveness (which I just ignore), there are some decent folk who post decent content and try to be as helpful as possible. That's what keeps me coming back for more.

While there is a lot of childish, hilarious Toxicity, there's also more positivity than people think. I feel the game has improved tremendously through constructive criticism, and that without the forums the game would be much worse off than it is now. Most of the problems from the forums come from people overreacting to changes without testing. Prime example would be the destro ult when it was on the PTS everyone said it would be trash. Now, it's considered overpowered.

I have to agree with this. There is a lot of great community stuff here and most of the toxicity on the forums and in the community comes from people ego clashing and epeening.

I generally try to stick to not getting involved in too many ego based debates and just focus on enjoying the community, making jokes in silly threads or making sure to give a +1 and nice comment to people with community helping posts/threads.

Hi, my name is Narvuntien, and I'm an ESO Forums Addict .

I am actually an addict of many different forums but this one recently.

I think I'm probably addicted too I love the forums though. They make me laugh, they help me learn about all aspects of the game, they can even pass the time for me when I need it

I like the forum! Everyone here shares the common love for the game (and hate) plus brings ideas to the future development of the game too. I'm in fb groups thats either my guilds or a community which are also fun (sometimes) but here idk I like it

I'm only on the forum while at work to pass time, so I'm sort of addicted.

Can't stand the trolls that make the forum negative and not constructive.

I must admit I keep meaning to spend more time playing the game and less time reading/posting about it !

i can stop anytime...maybe tomorrow...

I'm just here to type out drafts that I never post - oh wait, did I post this?!
