As a new player I find these forums hilarious.

Sry mnwild1998 but, complaining about the complainers is complaining, too

I am not able to see your extraordinary experience.

I thanked the complainers for their entertaining threads. I also thanked them for all the information the non complainers brought to those threads.

I've played mmos for a long time. My first was lotro when it launched 11 years ago. I have played almost every mmo since and recently started ESO.

Coming to these forums I must admit is some serious entertainment while at work.

Between people crying about an old Xpac/chapter being discounted, how ESO is P2W or wanting their $0.50 back because of downtime I have to say as a new player the "forum community is pretty toxic. I thought the swtor forums were fun but so far in my short time here the crying going on here is giving swtor a run for their money.

Keep it up haha it helps the work day.

On a side note because of all the crying over Morrowind being added to the sub and how Summerset is P2W I went ahead and preordered.

Thanks to all the complainers because of your threads I got alot of good info from all the non complainers correcting you.

*Disclaimer * yes my account was created during the Xbox beta period. I recently just started playing non beta eso on the xbox.

As it should be. Give it time. These forums are about like any other. Don’t take them seriously

Look at it this way. The devs and people like gina give so much more information than any other mmo team, it creates the whiny type of forums. but really its because the eso team is awesome

I would argue that. ZOS has stepped up the last year (and I really appreciate it) but they're still not the top in terms of communication.
I've yet to see anyone do better than CCP who have their devs actively discuss and debate mechanics changes with players on forums and twitter.

Although the difference there is CCP has a much smaller player base and is owns itself, meaning they make their own rules and are less slaves to marketing and corporate culture.

I don't know what ccp is hehe. but Ill take your word for it. either way much credit given to the eso staff @ZOS_GinaBruno

Oh I didn't mention the destiny forums because they are in a league of their own. No game I have ever been a part of is even close to them. I can't believe they have allowed their forums to get that way.

Mate, Bungie are just happy to have people in their forums at this point. Even if it is people just bashing the absolute *** out of the game. Destiny 2 tanked hard.

Welcome aboard or back or whatever. I spent a looonnnnggggg time on Destiny and agree with the others this is worlds better. Here even when things start to go a bit toxic they still tend to straighten out, something you don't see on most boards. The feedback, peoples willingness to answer questions and discuss the merits of many game related topics make this a good place to post. That along with what is an active and supportive moderation team goes a long way making this the most useful and enjoyable gaming board around.

That's fair maybe "toxic" wasn't the correct word. At the same time when a few spam doom and gloom about p2w (which its not) or an old xpac is discounted (which is normal) it can cause a toxic environment.

I said it on the wow forums i will say it here.

Toxic doesn't mean anything you want it to.

People complaining is not toxic until.

Toxic means being a ***, like: being a scammer, being someone who offends people for no reason at all other then just to get a giggle out of it, things like that.

its not really constructive, but the forums are where some people come to vent

welcome op.

/hint.... it's in the sig.

Colecovision · April 2018

Love the post. So you know, you can go to a sub forum with a real question. There are great players lined up with helpful advice.

I haven't seen the CCP forums, but Darkfall: New Dawn runs along exactly those lines. Never seen anything like it before.

Yes, agree ZOS have stepped up their response rate over the last few months.

@ZOS....Keep up the good work guys and gals, it makes player/team relations so much better!

yes the forums are toxic, yes the world is much different than it was 11 years ago, yes we live in an age of instant gratification and participation awards.

welcome to the ESO forums and welcome to the year 2018

disclaimer: i started mmorpg gaming in 2006 and i have played 18 mmorpgs to date. i dont agree with the crying but despite my conservative hard ass opinion about those kinds of people (you cant say millennials on these forums btw) you just have to do what makes you happy and stand by your values.

I started playing ESO five days ago...I did play during the beta and my first four days were the same during the beta. I was Very annoyed by the leveling I always had too many low level quest or too many high level quest or the quest I did have were spread out. Now come yesterday (xb1) I had a blast! Leveling in 100x better and for a new player that's a good thing.

Kinda contradicting yourself here, aren't you?

Despite that i find it hilarous that even if you were in fact a new player you'd start with a thread elevating yourself above others right of the bat...

I have 30 hours in and highest level toon is 34. I am most definitely new to eso even if I've played on beta and tried it when they switched the leveling.

Where did I evaluate myself to others? The post is about how entertaining these forums are and how helpful all these doom and gloom post have been.

Some info

Actually 29 hours played
6 anchors closes
24 skyshards found
55/2960 achievement score

Sure if you want to go through my post history to determine if I'm a new player or not go right ahead.

if my Xbox stats show I'm no longer "new" I will change my post for you.

It takes time to learn the power of ignore*. Selective reading is extremely useful on any forum.

Bookmarked to check back with OP in 11 years

* like the ignore in your head, the forum one is easy

Drachenfier · April 2018

Welcome to ESO. You'll find the sense of entitlement here is staggering.

Kristo33 · April 2018

I am also new player and from SWTOR, I find ESO forums also more fun, I actually like how they moderating forums, you dont see that kind of mod stuff in swtor forums, but also traffic here is way higher than swtor. But devs beening more active is huge + for me...And what come to toxic, I dont find ESO forums very toxic, trolls and whiners are everywhere,

jlboozer · April 2018

These forums are actually very chill, you should check out the Destiny forum if you want true salt.

Oh yeah I love all the "one person working on swtor" post. I have nothing against swtor but I am definitely enjoying my time over here way more than I have over at swtor the last couple of years (on and off).

the current Destiny forums are nothing compared to what they were like a few months ago. Of course, the current game is nothing like what the original was either. I keep checking in every now and then but I have lost hope for that game ever becoming what it could have been.
This forum is a ray of sunshine compared to the Destiny forums.....but then this game is miles ahead of Destiny2 also

I quite enjoy Destiny 2, don't see what all the fuss is about. Then again, I never played the first one #pcmasterrace.
