Hey you, yeah you. Do you want 2,500 crowns? (PC/EU)

Alucardo · April 2019

My time has finally come. I haven't logged into the game for a little while, and I won't be returning (except to award the free crowns, of course!). I don't really see a bright future for ESO. By that I don't mean it will bleed players, go free to play, and turn into some broken korean MMO. No, I think it will do just fine, but it's the balance changes, pvp, disguising p2w as expansions, crates, lag, refusal to listen to stam sorcs and just honestly, it's not good for my blood pressure.
So, having said that, I'm giving away the 2.5k crowns on my account, as it seems a waste to just leave them there. If you're from PC/EU, just comment below and I'll pull a name out by random tomorrow morning, then DM you to arrange the transfer!

Best of luck, and adios

This is a really nice thing to do. I wish you luck in the future.

Thanks very much! Yeah, it's not often you see a "Bye, but you can have my stuff" thread xD
Good luck to you also.

Greystag · April 2019

Good luck in the future. I have hope that now we have a new head of Combat balancing and Gilliam, the combat will improve a lot.

Balastar · April 2019

Sad to see you go! Have nice summer and best wishes to you!

Xillean · April 2019

Pretty awesome of you to do, good luck and fun travels!

Ooladiana · April 2019

Never see adios, just see you soon. Best wishes!

This. If you pick my name, leave them on your account.

I hope for the sake of everyone playing this turns out to be true.

I've left and come back on a few occasions. I think this is it for me now. All the best to ya o/

If you return, you will regret. I quit end 2015 and came back last November.
Bavk then I gave all my goldmats, gold etc to guildmates. I regretted it a little bit. 😁

I also wanted to never return. But never say never.

Phoebe · April 2019

That's really nice of you

I don't want to participate since I've got enough crowns myself, but you'll make someone really happy. I hope you'll find something else that makes you happy!

Nah, they're just crowns at the end of the day. I didn't have to farm weeks to get them or anything, so it's all good. Consider it my parting gift.

Very thoughtful of you, but it's really okay. I'd rather see them get some use!

Aye, I have done this once. I gave away all my gold and mats, but came back about 6 months later with barely anything to my name. But it's just crowns this time, which is no biggie really. Appreciate the caution though!

Take a couple of months off and you might get the break you need. I took three months away, cancelled my sub for a long time, it was really good. The issue is that ESO should be a joy to put a lot of time into, in fact it requires that you do if you want to perform at higher levels, unfortunately it eventually just becomes soul crushing. And imo, it is in that respect that this game is for casuals. The difficulty level, the theory crafting, the combat, its all pretty in depth and there's a lot to explore, but the way the game is designed doesn't promote getting into this stuff and staying sane. This is mostly aimed at people who PvP a lot. PvE exclusive players don't seem to have the same rate of burnout.

Thanks, but if you win and don't want them, I'd be happy to gift them to somebody you know who does and doesn't read the forum

I've already taken a few breaks, but at some point you just have to think "is this it?". If you're no longer enjoying the game, and don't like the look of its future, then it's probably best to bail instead of wasting anymore of your time. I don't think it's just a case of burnout that requires a little vacation anymore :-/

You do not quit.. you just take a break

I do wish it were that simple! It's all good though, I have no hard feelings. Had some good times, and met some great people while playing ESO.

I think you should reconsider . Remaining to the game , means you will still have to visit the forums ,
and in order to vent some steam for the UNACCEPTABLE state of this game, you would need to improvise to find
means to be heard and be addressed by the officials !

Its the only pleasure this game has in store for us nowadays.

Thaeryndhel · April 2019

How can you leave when Elsweyr is in such dire straits? I hope you will return to right the wrongs and bring peace to the lands of Tamriel once again. May your roads lead you to warm sands!

JD2013 · April 2019

Take care Alucardo! Remember the PC players thread and have a smile once in a while! o/

Heh, I do find it rather sad that I started spending more time on the forum than I did in game. That's a huge red flag right there xD

Oh boy have I tried, but I've come to terms that stam sorc will never get fixed and always be at the bottom of the pile.
May you also find those warm sands!

Haha, thanks, indeed I have some RL friends playing ESO.

Well, I think you don't need to decide about the option of returning one day now - it's not like your account will vanish. If you ever decide to return, your characters will still be there for you. And if you find something else you like that's great, too!
