For me it was the repetitive nature of the game that put me of, grinding a new character, lorebooks, skyshards, undaunted, gear, writs, mount leveling.
I used to play just to hang out with the friends ds I'd made in game but people left for IRL reasons, tensions mounted about not being able to finish content because of numbers, arguments started, big egos, hurt feelings, personal insults... Then I went on vacation to Crete, sun, sea, sand, cocktails and beautiful scenery. I didn't even think about ESO. Came home, logged on once, everyone's arguing or split into little groups within the guild. That was it for me, collected my sales revenue, lodged 500k in the guild bank and wished them well but I was done. Been enjoying other games for now but might return if I get bored.

There are many things that make me feel like quiting ESO. Server problems, lack of enjoyable long-term content, a broken and exploitable trading system.

What really annoys me though is when forums members express their dismay at the gaming, giving it some genuine criticism, and then because of a small number of players ruining it and ZOS (possibly) looking for an excuse to lock it, the thread gets closed. Closed because it was "problematic".

I get that it's their game and they have every right to do what they want with it. I don't have a problem with that. What I do have a problem with is forum threads where most participants were engaging in constructive discussion getting closed for what is arguably a poor excuse for a reason.

ZOS, if you see people leaving the game the answer isn't to block discussion and silence critics. It's to reach out to players and understanding why they've become dissatisfied with the game.

When you listen to players you can get a grasp on what needs improving, why it needs improving, and (if players have some thoughts to express) also possibly to work out how you're going to implement these improvements. That way you might start to convince some of these people to return, and if not, at least make it better for when new players arrive to the game.

Like I said, it's your game and you have the freedom to do whatever you like and I respect that, but closing threads dedicated to providing genuine criticism means that you're only creating an echo chamber around yourself. The last thing you want to do is to block out critics as it only means you'll end up failing to listen to new ideas and improve your game.

Just my two pennies on the subject.

I wish there was more character development, I dislike having multiple characters and having them finish the most of what they offer for combat unlocked by level 50 (usually) and have the rest being; sets, CP, and whatever skill points more I care to get, doesn't add much to the actual gameplay, rather, simply stats.

If we are to continue with a TES game with classes, then I think something that should be considered is to expand on what we have, why not add CP level as a requirement to get secondary morphs and new skills?

Personally I think CP is a lazy form of providing that sort of "continuation".
