    I'm surprised ESO won by such a large margin. I used to regularly visit MMORPG in the past ( haven't visited in about 6 months, though), and noticed that most of the posters there were very cynical and dismissive of any MMO.

    I guess most of the "Old Guard" have left :|

    You didn't miss much. It's basically a few people congratulating ZOS followed by someone going on a rant about crown crates.

    Because people don't do that here :)

    Those forums are downright tame in comparison to these forums.

    I'm not surprised . Someone posted a thread a month or so ago and we all went over and voted . Somethings were going on a lot of us didn't like but I still voted ESO number one . Just because players are critical of certain decisions or actions ZoS makes does not mean the majority can't put aside emotions to make a fair vote . I have found that the more someone criticizes the game it is because they have great love and concern for it . People that do not understand this just assume everyone is a "hater" . It's limited scope perception really .

    I think having passion and an opinion makes you a target in any fandom. Gamers just get more flack for it :)

    I think we have some really good posters here who have actually given constructive criticism to make the game better those folks should have some type of mvp recognition IMO.

    We also have this over-the- top, always triggered, entitled, douchesquad that continually bashes the game Zos the devs and anyone that dares enjoys or makes positive comments about the game.

    You can usually spot them because they refer to Zos as Zo$

    Whoa, nice!

    Can I ping every ZOS person I can think of here to congratulate them, or would that be obnoxious?

    @Abeille

    I think they would love to actually be pinged and it not be anger or screams :)

    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    Third year in a row, how cool is that? Congratz!
    When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
    What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
    For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
    O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

    Is mmorpg even a reputable site anymore? If so than that's pretty cool

    I'm confused...why would they not be reputable? Were they indited for MMO perjury, taking bribes from Jana Proudmoore or something?

    This is Trumps America now. If they don't agree with you, they are not reputable, and probably have a disease also.

    Makes it even more tastier when you look at other Best of 2016 polls, which on mmogames ESO got 3rd place. Meanwhile World of Warcraft got 7th place.

    I can't, I just can't believe the taste my popcorn has right now.
