    The doom and gloom posts, the paranoia posts about crown store, the fear of exodus posts. None of it helps, in fact the opposite it puts off newer players.

    Just shut up, and leave. And give people your stuff.

    Yeah, when I left another game to come to this one I just, you know, left. I don't still sit on the forums of the other game screaming about how I hated it and stopped playing.

    Feedback is great, but it needs to be constructive. No game dev is going to take ranting from people who say it's the worst game ever and they don't play seriously. I get the feeling some of these people are the type to scream at customer service employees over things out of their hands too.

    Personally I don't like the One Tamriel update, I preferred the other alliances be vet + and vet ++. And the new dlc and chapters be vet +++

    Though I can see why one tamriel works especially for new players.

    However they could also provide character boosts, if someone wanted to play morrowind immediately if they kept the vet system.

    As much as OP's post isn't particularly constructive, it seems you want the forum to be full of only positivity, well I'm sorry, but as a newish player myself I feel potential customers have the right to know what they might be facing. I've been playing two months and I already feel somewhat disillusioned by certain things. I'd rather know the bad (as well as the good), and not just have everything sugar-coated.

    Actually, outside of 'Asian mmos', there hasn't been any other western mmos that has managed to gather this much traction since their inauguration. Tsw, wildstar, gw2... The list goes on. Even the big giant was bleeding since wotlk.

    Yes you are right though, the game has plenty of areas to improve. It has plenty of things that need to be changed for the better. But ultimately, it's still gaining recognition as one of the better mmos out there.

    It's weird though that you quit the game but still... Lurk around the forums and spit balling your opinions on a game that is apparent you no longer care about. Or I guess you do care because that's why you are here.

    It's like you coming back to your ex and complaining that what she is doing now is not making her life better. And telling other people what a terrible decision she has made. Dude, move on. You left her. You have every right to do things your way, just as she does.

    Game keeps getting worse. From major class imbalance to simple population exploits, pvp is just beyond repair.

    Well, if PvP is genuinely beyond repair the ONLY logical thing for Zeni to do is pull all resources from ongoing support and development of PvP and reinvest them in PvE.

    I'm up for that, PvP in MMORPG invariably makes the game worse overall.

    ESO certainly isn’t the “best” MMO out there.

    But it is the “least bad” MMO out there. It’s a bad and *** MMO... but all the others are worse.

    I guess you hadn't kept up on gaming news when you start throwing around titles like "worst online game out there" while servers are still up for Destiny 2.

    You’re being that guy as well. If you don’t like the game, don’t play it. I don’t see how this is making anything better.

    OP is just giving critism to this game. It seems you cannot tell this game is still broken after all these years and that with every update something gets broken.

    Oh no you fanboys would rather see and hear that everything with the game is awesome. Wake up and realize there are problems that don't get fixed.

    The point is one can post constructive criticism or over can just rant with their opinion as if it is a fact. The former is useful to both new players and potentially the developers. The latter serves no purpose other than to start forum attacks like this thread has.

    At one point this game frustrated me because every quest was 4 or more levels lower than me. I cancelled ESO+ and uninstalled the game. I sent ZOS my feedback. A year later 1T came out and I have been back since. I suspect ZOS got many others giving them similar feedback and they addressed it.

    I do believe ZOS listens to feedback and that they understand these forums represent a small portion of the players.

    So if ESO is the worst... which one is the best? or even better which is better? Any will do. It just has to be a fantasy-themed mmo with large-scale open-world PVP.

    I want to know if I'm playing the wrong game!!

    To the naysayers, how many posts on these forums are “constructive? If someone posted “This game is great!” then all the hardcore fanboys would flock to it and raise that thread on a pedestal. Yet, it isn’t “constructive” in the slightest.

    OP is spot on. Been playing since launch (on console) and the game has lost a LOT of appeal. People wanted to actually play the stories, but when Morrowind came out, the story was weak as hell. I rarely if ever see people run HoF, and Vvardenfell is about as dead as Shadow Fen or Rivenspire.

    I’m an effort to “balance”the game, they eviscerated something that is integral - fun. No one feels particularly powerful anymore, One Tamriel homogenized all players and builds, battlegrounds is weak (can’t choose deathmatch?!), and some of the best zones created (Imperial City) are desolate wastelands now, because there isn’t anything worth going there to do.

    Yet people still boringly Zerg keeps, run the same trial for the umpteenth time to get that “one last piece,” and sell motifs in zone chat that no one cares about anymore (WE HAVE ENOUGH MOTIFS).

    TL DR: OP is spot on. His lamentations aren’t from someone that hates ESO, but from someone so disappointed now by a game that he used to find to be so enjoyable. I am in that boat, and have subsequently deleted the game. I check the forums in hope that a change is coming and I might revisit Tamriel, but wanting and wishing don’t change outcomes. If you aren’t where OP is yet, you will be. That, or you’re likely addicted and you’ll never accept any reasoning behind your own “feelings”(or you’re brand new).

    Hands down worst online game out there.

    Cyrodil is unchanging and boring plus you can make toons in the same campaign for every alliance. Yeah stick a fork in eso game is done.

    Just because a game has issues doesn't make it the "worst game of all time".
    Please, just please, show me a single MMO without issues, a forum of said game that doesn't have the exact same complaints. I can answer it for you - THEY DON'T EXIST!
    I am not a staunch defender of ZoS, nor do I agree with many of the decisions they've made. But calling it the worst game out there is such a hyperbole it's not even funny. Guess you haven't seen the AAA market of today then....
    Sometimes, I dream about...cheese...

    We have closed this thread as it is not constructive and is overly combative. While we allow people to express criticism of the game we ask that this is done in a way that is both civil and constructive.
