    I take breaks now and then but overall i love the combat, both pve and pvp.

    I like the graphics and world design, character building, dungeons etc.

    My one complaint would be the quests. I've never liked quests or at least, a quest every time i turn around, so it's a little daunting having so many quests that are so predictable.

    i enjoy the content and the lore together... so... hard to pick which of the first 2 should i vote. but if i have to chose, i pick Lore. It's fun to read and immerse myself in all the voice-acted content, the amazing music score, the beautiful sceneries..... and all of it has a big lore that connects them all.

    I play the game because I enjoy the game. Simple as that.
    Living vicariously through my characters.

    My Girls:
    "If you were trapped in your house for, say, a year, how would you pass the time?"

    Nephikah the Houseless, dunmer assassin: "I suppose I could use the break. I have a lot of business holdings now that need management."
    Swum-Many-Waters, elderly argonian healer: "I think that I would enjoy writing a memoir."
    Silh'ki, khajiit warrior-chef: "Would this one be able to go outside, to the nearby river? It's hard to fish without water!"
    Peregrine Huntress, bosmer hunter: "Who is forcing me to stay inside, and where can I find them?"
    Lorenyawe, altmer mechanist: "And why would I want to go outside in the first place? Too much to be done in the workshop."
    Lorelai Magpie, breton master thief: "I'd go nuts. Lucky for me, I have a little experience sneaking out!"
    Rasheda the Burning Heart, redguard knight: "I would continue my training to keep my skills sharp."
    Hex-Eye Azabi, khajiit daedric priestess: "I suppose it would be lucky, then, that I built a shrine to Mephala in my backyard."
    Yngva Stormhammer, nord bandit (reformed...ish): "I hate being inside even when I'm not forced to be. GET. ME. OUT."
    Madam Argentia, vampire dunmer aristocrat: "I suppose it would be more of the same. I have a rather... contentious relationship with the sun."
    Mazie gra-Bolga, orc scout: "Uh... I'd have to house train my bear..."
    Felicia the Wanderer, imperial witch-for-hire: "What Lorelai said."
    Calico Jaka-dra, retired khajiit pirate: "This one would like a rest from her grand adventures. Her jewel shop runs out of stock!"
    Shimmerbeam, blind altmer psijic: "Provided that I am confined to Artaeum, I do not think I will want for things to occupy my time."
    Shauna Blackfire, redguard necromancer: "Sounds like paradise. I hate people."
    Kirniel the Undying, cursed bosmer warrior: "I would feel useless, not being able to fight."
    Echoes-from-Dragons, argonian who thinks she's a dragon: "All the better to count my hoard!"

    I do really like ESO, but for my taste the Pvp is falling really short here, its a pve land and the only real PvP zone is AvAvA, which is also not exactly my preference.
    I'd prefer GvG, so I am waiting for Ashes of Creation, where pvp can happen everywhere and guilds actually matter

    Of the options provided, this is the most accurate. But it would be more accurate to say that the game, since its release, provides an excellent landscape for creative storytelling. So much so that it's pretty much impossible for me to run out of new ideas for characters to create and take through the various areas weaving a new story.

    Hmm good point. I should have included "I don't enjoy the current state of the game, but I continue playing hoping that it will improve" as an option.

    Most of those reasons apply to some extent, but the bottom line is I just enjoy putting myself in the shoes of a fantasy character that I can customize to my tastes. Even when I don't really have anything to do I will log in and wander round, just do fishing or whatever.

    ^That's my other.
    Definitely NOT "all the above"
    Half the time, dont even know why I play, so I just sign out and play something else.
    For me; the performance and the grind are not aspects that make me want to keep playing long term.

    After 'outgrowing' Oblivion and Skyrim, I'm here for a massive-scale open-world medieval fantasy rpg. For the past couple years, ESO has filled that bill for me. The fact that it is multiplayer is a multifaceted drawback for me but no game is perfect.
