Game getting stale

Problem is that transmog has been put out of reach of a casual solo PvE player like me.

If you mean transmutation: As a casual solo player you don't need that. Solo content (aside from Maestrom Arena) doesn't require good gear traits. You only really need that for harder group content.

And concerning group content: You can get crystals by doing the easiest group content available, namely random normal dungeons.

Albeit it's only one crystal per run.

I love ESO. I've played since first beta and will continue playing every day until the end. But with all the new content that gets added, it's basically just new zone, new gear sets, new trial once in a while. It doesn't last long before it gets boring. What would you guys like to see that keeps the game interesting and fun logging into everyday?

Play another game. That's what I always do. But then I always think I'll come back but never do come back. I have it all planned out too. For example I think, "If I come back 6 months later, value of these goods will rise and I'll be making good money". Well, they're still collecting dust and I forgot login info lol.

Yeah, I left a few times and returned. Problem is I can only really get in to mmo's now and I've tried them all, nothing reallt good right now.

Coming from playing exclusively PVP in other MMOs I wonder the same. How do PVEers keep playing the same content?

PVP never "runs out of content". Now I play PVE only in ESO and I love it, my friends and I still have content to clear.

But I wonder what will we do once we finish all the dungeons? How other games manage this?

There is another problem and that is that all the new dungeons are in DLC. Not all my friends are always subbed or have the DLC so we can't play them together.

When the game gets stale, or more likely when I get burnt out a bit from an event like the festival, I usually will play one of the AAA games I haven't gotten to yet. For example, Fallout 4 ate up a couple of weeks time, then I was ready to restart ESO again.

I think you've been sanitized, or grown out of games. Happened to me and I stopped playing for about.. 8 years? Before I started playing games regularly again.

Play another class and style you're not used to.

My issue with anything added i.e., transmutation or spellcrafting (hinted in some news here and there with the next chapter) is everything ends up gated behind the Crown Store. 1250 WV for Transmute Station or 4000 crowns, spellcrafting will be more of the same. Buy it or grind til you die.

@SGT_Wolfe101st
I haven't transmuted anything yet, but I thought there was a public transmutation station available in the Brass Fortress?

There is, but unless you have the DLC that one wouldn't be available, but the crown store is available to all, Yayyyyy!

The game getting stale is more about you than the game. Especially since we get something new 3x a year.

MMO longevity has to do with both getting new content, Doing more than one thing, and playing with groups there is a reason it's an MMO.

After all the questing is done and you're bored with PVP, all an MMO can offer you is a chance to socialize with online friends. Housing could potentially add a ton of social value to this game, but it feels like a 3-D art project.

We need guildhalls, or some kind of interaction with regards to a guild's goals. All we have is a message of the day and ranks. Maybe a physical bulletin board or response sheet in a house could bring more interaction within a guild.

We could use tavern style lore based minigames to play with friends, perhaps added to housing to give it more of a sandbox feel.

Perhaps Senche/guar/horse races could be added to housing or someplace in the game

On the topic of creativity there's always roleplay, and this game is pretty decent as far as that goes.
