The game is already 3 years old. I, and probably lots of other players, don't want to have to relearn how to play the game again. If you want a game that plays differently I think you should go look elsewhere, since encouraging the developers to completely change the way the game plays is just inviting even poorer decision-making than they have already shown themselves capable of.

all mmorpgs change over time. this is a necessary evil due to competition and the need to not just retain existing players but to bring in new ones and get those that barely tried it to return.

change is good. what is not good is having an opinion when you have not personally been on the pts.

alcast's thread should prob be stickied.

All I know is that the changes are plenty bad enough, and makes the game play way differently than it does on Live, and not different in a good way. I agree that things have to change, and adapt, which ESO is good at, but not this kind of change. This kind of massive change to the game actually goes against the ESO philosophy of "play your way", by making the best builds pretty much the same across the board, which is pretty stupid. OP is saying that the changes aren't drastic enough, which means he probably wants a game where everyone is the same class, with one skill on their bar that is just spammed over and over to great effect.

So yes, change is good, if it's the right kind of change. Update 6 was a good kind of change for the game, this, however, is not that kind of change.

Also, I'd like to point out that I've never played an MMO before that changed the way it had to be played every 6 months. It's quite ridiculous already, and if the changes on the PTS make it to live it will quite honestly hurt the game in a major way and likely do irreprarable harm.

This is another major problem. Moderators on this forum seem to know ABSOLUTELY nothing about the game.

Don't get me wrong, we need people to keep the forum clean but these comments are all we get besides the occasional Gina/Jessica clarifications to cool things off or the Rich lurking. Having people who know the game monitoring the forum would make such a difference in communication.

Seeing that staff icon should make people want to find out what you have to say but 95% of the time it's just...this.
