    "Quitting is for quitters"

    Well... That makes sense.
    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.

    Odd poll choices but the last time I quit was due to PC game issues after the lighting update which were left unresolved for almost 5 months.

    This time...may be it.
    I did already purchase Morrowind but it seems Xbox may let me refund it after release so ...yeah

    ZOS has been pushing me away for a while tho

    Sometimes, we get so invested in a franchise that we need to stick around while the game is still adding new story, just so that we can experience that story. Even if the game itself takes a terrible, terrible turn.

    Played 4 months at launch (1 incl. with pre-order and 1 3-month sub) which was just about perfect. I finished the quests for all 3 alliances and just had Craglorn to play at that point, which was all group stuff and didn't really interest me. With no content left to play, I ended my sub.

    I came back when the game went free to play since I'll repeat content for free. I just won't pay to do so. Now I'm here for the DLC for the most part, though ZOS has really been slacking off on the DLC front. Hopefully they can manage their new quarterly DLC schedule better than the old one. But I can't really complain since it isn't like I'm paying anything for the months of no new content.

    The burn out is real though. Between VMA runs that fail to produce what I'm looking for and endless hours farming gear sets since I got serious about running trials about 2 years ago.

    New content has tended to lift my spirits, but with the content-light last two patches and the horrible sustain nerfs likely to drive yet another round of farming for this set or that to try to compensate... dunno. Feels bad man.

    Yeah, I agree with that. I'm the same myself, I like ESO for the Elder Scrolls and the art, and the stories, and the audio, and the other[*] stuff in the game that is *really* really 100% top notch, 100/10.

    But since I started enjoying end-game group content and the feeling of doing difficult stuff... hmm... I'd feel like something is missing, that some part has died if I wasn't able to never play my rol again... It's difficult, to be honest.

    I don't know, to tell the truth I would probably end my subscription and keep playing casually before quitting myself, with all the pain in my heart of what was lost.

    All of this is hypothetical, of course... *ahem* :)

    EDIT: * 'other' doesn't include the combat and balance, of course :blush:

    Twice. The first time is because i had my daughter and stopped gaming for a little bit. 2nd time was due to lag in Cyrodiil and the decisions to my main class back then MagDK. They refused to address the noodle whip and Dragon blood after 100s of threads and PTS responses to fix it. They completely ignored the feedback. Then they finally did this year, took them what a year and a half to address the exact same thing that MagDKs were screaming about and giving feedback on.
