I'm glad the bubbler market crashed. Nothing worse than smug people hoarding game secrets. I have skooma bubblers littered all over my house now as a testament to the dangers of addiction, to skooma and to this game. If people realized that the main reason they play this game is addiction and not any sort of quality, they would drop this bad habit and maybe ZOS would be forced to actually improve the game instead of just funnel money to the Zeni board of directors.

well, do not tell your story as a general story pls ;D

Denial is not just a river in Africa girlfriend.

well ok, kind of yes, there is of course a very thin line between "addiction" and pure "I love the game", but one of the main sign of addiction are withdrawal symptoms - if you do have them, when not playing a while, then yes, you are addicted.
If I do not have them at all, then I am not. It is as easy as that

Either way the focus shouldn't be on us the gamers. It should be on companies that peddle substances that can be potentially addictive. What I am really saying is that ZOS doesn't realize how much of its success with this game rests on both the addictive nature of MMOs and the general love people have for the Elder Scrolls Franchise. Hence the analogy to skooma.

Any soulless media conglomerate who got their dirty fingers on the lore rich IP of this franchise could have made a game that at the very least, would turn a profit. This is evidenced by the fact that this is exactly what happened. This game lacks the true heart and soul of a Tod Howard directed TES game but succeeds due to the rich history, and blood, sweat and tears of Bethesda Softworks, before it was ruined by Zenimax Media.

TES was the Moonsugar. Zeni bought it out, refined and reduced it for max effect, reduced quality and now sells it to addicts and TES fans alike.

So ESO is crack. Sounds about right ever since "the Lady" took over the cash shop.

And every year it's cut with more filler, yet also costs more. When you tell your dealer this and threaten to quit, it's only natural that he laughs in your face.

well, I don`t know about the adicts, but I only played Skyrim, which was awesome. And then ESO, so no problem with being used, how TES games used to be, compared to ESO.

Yeah, I know where you are heading, there are lot of bugz in ESO, lagz, and new bugz every update . Like maybe one year ago, I would sometimes get angry about some new bugz, like one day, somewhere around Hew`s bane or Gold Coast DLCs, that annoying squeaking sound, like a boat rocking and all the wood on it moving against each other. Then they fixed it one day.
Now I take new bugz as the new folklore, like funny comedy or similar
Maybe we just have to be patient, until all the bugz go away. One day. But I still love ESO. It is the best game I ever played.
