    I'm hardly ever here these days. I used to be on the forums a ton because I had a lot of down time at work when I was sitting around waiting for things to get done that would let me have something to work on. I do different work these days though, so that almost never happens anymore.

    To complain about things that are genuinely wrong
    Despite keep me informed I believe there is a minuscule chance of making a difference in the game's development. Be it starting a poll or joining voices in a thread. That can be healthy way to try to get what you want.

    I could keep up to date without joining. I simply watched the forums for a few years.

    I joined as an active poster because I noticed that voices like mine didn't seem to be represented on the forums.

    I just come here to see what other people are saying about the game and to join in if I have something to add. Whether that's talking about what players like, what they don't like, what could be new/better, discussing lore, debating lore...I can usually find something interesting whenever I'm here.

    I come here generally when I don't have access to my computer or adequate time to login to Eso. I like also to check what's going on and new and love the housing forum in particular and the fun threads in general. I also love lore and trying to improve my gaming.

    I read the forums during slow/waiting times at work. As others have said, if your waiting for a code load or other hurry up and wait times, or a break, then I do MMO forums. If its a busy day, I don't have time for the forums.

    When I'm at home, I'm too busy with real life, or playing ESO to use the forums, which is why you normally will not see me post/respond to the forums on the weekends.

    I have some downtime at work and occasionally get bored.

    Plus reading some of the posts (mostly the ones about PC EU) give me a good laugh.

    No offense meant, but you read some of the most asinine requests, complaints, and demands on forums like these, and this one is no exception.

    To share things/information I feel is pertinent/interesting
    Chadak wrote: »
    I uninstalled this crap show and unsubbed, but I'm still interested in seeing the fallout.

    So, mostly information. I can't pretend I don't care. I played this game for two and a half years and enjoyed most of it most of the time, even if just about every design decision ZOS has made from Morrowind to now has made me grind my teeth.

    I'll watch this space and occasionally comment if something seems worthwhile or amusing to participate in, but I'm not playing anymore and it's very possible that I never will again.

    They're gonna have to prove that they can grow up and stop patching this game with a chainsaw and by blind flailings before I'll even consider putting time or money into it again.

    For me, a game is like a ship navigating often treacherous seas. I expect unexpected problems and unfortunate issues. I expect and accept without a peep that ideal circumstances for an idea or system are rare and that we all have to temper expectations about some things, especially because this is a shared environment.

    What I flat refuse to accept is overwhelming and consistent evidence that the captain is drunk and none of the officers have a clue where we're even going let alone how we're going to get there.

    I don't want to be on a ship that makes 90 degree turns every day and makes up reasons only a complete potato would believe as justification for the panicked, conflicted lack of direction.

    I don't feel at all like investing more of my time and energy in this game would be smart, because it isn't going anywhere and chances seem certain at this point that the supposed leadership steering this boat have at least six ideas of how they want to do that and they're fighting amongst themselves over them.

    Or just not talking to each other and doing whatever.

    Or just being ignorant and terrible at all of this.

    Take your pick. It all seems plausible to me, and I've lost all confidence in ZOS.

    I sincerely doubt they'll get me back, and i probably disappear from the forum completely soon enough.

    that would be trolling
