Basically, what is your objective here? I'm kinda curious as to what most of the playerbase does. I'll try to put as many options I can think of.

✭A game to PvP only. I really dislike PvE.I really enjoy the pvp on eso.
I dislike pve a lot for the same reason in most mmos, and that's the lack of build diversity. In pvp there is many different setups you can use effectively, and make a build your own. In pve though it's just healer, dps and tank and they hardly have any veriety.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Other(explain)This is my casual game, like super casual PvE solo play with a sprinkle of a dungeon once in a while.2 -
Tornaad✭✭✭✭✭
✭Other(explain)To me, the game is a single player game full of some very well animated and helpful NPC's, many of whom I just decide are members of the fighters guild simply there to help me clean out the dolmen or clear the dungeon.
If I am in a group with friends talking to them over discord as we play (which very rarely happens) then it will become a co-op game.
This is also what I went to because Elder Scrolls 6 had not come out yet. I will likely leave ESO (at least for a while) after Elder Scrolls 6 comes out. I love my massively single player games.

Xerikten✭✭✭✭Other(explain)it is a easy casual friendly game.
many of the components are flashy and incomplete when compared to other established mmos of the same age or so. housing just gives you a taste of what others have. raiding is rather easy. the brokerage system is something only a real life shopaholic would implement. who wants to run all over to find and buy something?
there are way too many adjustments(nerfs) being made at this point for this or rather in any game. pvp is at fault for this.
I am here because I played daggerfall and morrowind. this game is totally different with only names being the same. I like the quests and exploring around but soon this will get boring. then I will leave or wait it out for the game in alpha that I currently want to play.2 -

I dunno....I didn't find Arena or Daggerfall to be hardcore per say, I played both games into the ground, there wasn't any conveniences that existed then is all, In depth yes hard core no so much, especially after playing the Zork and Wizardry franchises."Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split, as a general thing.”

I enjoy the leveling aspects, I like do the delves, grabbing a Skyshard in a public dungeon by myself - I role play a little, just with me and my character and surroundings.

✭✭A game to PvE, with the ocasional PvP for skill unlocks and skill points.I almost picked "do whatever I want" but came down on PvE+ as I do expect the game to provide me with a path and challenges. The housing, fishing etc. are diversions I like, but they're not the reason to play. And although I mostly play solo, I do appreciate being able to join with others in co--operative PvE.0 -
Loralai_907✭✭✭✭✭
✭Other(explain)Primarily I am either doing writs or out in Cyro. Sometimes I will try to work on a character, gathering skyshards etc, but I get bored of that pretty quick. If there is new PvE content, I'll do it once happily. Recently I started working on soloing group dungeons but I had to take a break from that since my back is all wonky and I am not at a point where I can be super serious about things again yet (I'm playing from my bed and it just isn't conducive to seriousness). I'm even looking forward to actually decorating a "house" with a plan and everything, not a usual thing for me up until now, but that glade has me inspired.PC-NA - formerly, mommadani907Guild: Weeping Angels - Co-GMTwitter: @ Loralai_907 several Alt accounts....CP 1700+Active characters:Fauna Rosewood ( Bosmer Stam DK - Master Crafter/AD)///Loralai Darknova (Drunken Zombie Bosmer Stam Sorc - PvP/AD)Lilith Darknova ( Dunmer Mag DK - Master Crafter - PvP/AD)///and roughly 1billion alts0 -

ATomiX96✭✭✭✭✭
✭Other(explain)Its a game which I used to love for both PvE and PvP aspects of it, used to play it daily, finished all the content there is in the game (besides long-stretched grindy achievements), but since ZOS keeps casualizing PvE content and zergifying PvP its just not enjoyable anymore, every new content gets cleared within hours of release, pvp is a pure zergfest its just not the same game i used to like about a year ago. And with every patch it just keeps going downhill.1 -

I agree when you say content is easier.Its a game which I used to love for both PvE and PvP aspects of it, used to play it daily, finished all the content there is in the game (besides long-stretched grindy achievements), but since ZOS keeps casualizing PvE content and zergifying PvP its just not enjoyable anymore, every new content gets cleared within hours of release, pvp is a pure zergfest its just not the same game i used to like about a year ago. And with every patch it just keeps going downhill.
I remember just what a total hell White-gold tower and Imperial city prison were when they came out. ICP, by the way, was nerfed many times.
Maw of Lorkhaj was tremedously difficult too. I miss those days.

seherrons✭✭✭A game to PvE, with the ocasional PvP for skill unlocks and skill points.Caltrops and Vigor aren't going to unlock themselves. Unfortunately.
In all seriousness though, I really appreciate how ESO maintains the largely single-player feel of the original TES titles in regards to questing and exploration, and still chucks a few multiplayer elements in on the side to cater to the PvPers. It's not balanced of course, but I still think it's nice to have those options available to you should you want to pursue them. I still prefer to keep my toons far away from Cyrodiil, however
