    At this point just doing it for my own amusement and laugh at people who still give this terrible company money and subject themselves to playing the game. It helps me cope with day to day life I guess. :l

    read stupid people's comments that use logic, math, etc. but have no clue what they are talking about or how to use said logic, math, etc.

    Compared to people that I've ignored = I am 18% more insightful, 20% less agreeable, and 88% more awesome.

    Just to laugh at all the people complaining about "issues" and such. For example cloak is too stronk nerf PLS!!!!!! posts are the best. Been playing pvp on DK/sorc/templar for years and never had problems since well there are counters to it but people are just bad at this game. One other favorite I have is "vMA is too hard" posts which increase during the Orsinium event. Ouh and then there are the DPS posts were people QQ when they get kicked out of dungeons or trials because they arent doing good enough dps... git gud.

    This. Absolutely spot on. But those counters would require people to actually use their brains instead of copy / pasting builds they found and then whining because someone made a legit use of a counter and they weren't prepared for it. Then they complain about how OP X is, and X gets nerfed.

    And this, fellows, is why we can't have nice things.

    So, I guess I'm also on theforums to learn about what is considered OP in PvP nowadays, even though I don't give a rat's bottom about PvP, to prepare for the next nerfs and figure what other skill I can use. In PvE. Because it's apparently sooooo OP in PVP.

    Whenever the game is in a garbage state and I don't feel like playing I entertain myself by coming here to complain. Guess what I'm doing now?
    I am currently worried for the future of ESO. Population seems like it is in free fall and the cancellation of the North America in-person gathering feels very much like pulling the plug. Kudos on fixing the in-game economy though. Clearly whatever gold shenanigans were happening the last couple years are fixed.

    Choice "A" and also to help tie together logical points when I think my experience might be helpful to advocate for or against proposed changes. Not exactly because I think something is "wrong" and not exactly because I want to start a debate, but I don't mind a good debate if it's civil and the discussion is interesting.

    ...So the forums were ... well, they're not the next best thing, because they're completely stupid.
    PvE-players hating fans of PvP and vice versa. A guy in every thread who "stopped playing years ago, because X". Casual players complaining about pressure due to their lousy DPS and or lack of understanding basic game mechanics. Experienced players complaining about having to carry casual players. People constantly bringing up the BBB and lawsuits, because the servers are being stupid. Signatures where people quote famous authors whose name they cannot spell properly in the signature. And I'm right in the middle. I didn't mean to hang around after maintenance, but now it's hard to stop.

    It's amazing how we find ourselves distracted from what's important in life by a bunch of 1's and 0's on some remote server owned by a company that values our dollar over our time.
    If you are angry about anything in this game you are only punishing yourself.

    Keep up to date, so I can inform some guildmates who aren’t aware of what’s coming (we are console so we don’t have PTS, so being on here and watching the threads pop up in general discussion is useful)

    But also to suggest things such as house ideas and furnishings (which is pointless since ZoS just ignores it)

    Maybe jump in on a few topics give my views on the topics.

    Oh and sometimes to use the guild recruitment section for recruitment (not that successful for us though... more successful in game especially after the guild finder update)

    So I’m here for a few different reasons I guess.

    found the forums about a year or so after I started playing...everytime I googled a question about something in the game - I kept getting directed to the forums...

    once I joined I was pretty quiet for several months, it was very intimidating to read just how well a lot of the folks knew the game...I was nervous to really give many opinions about what I thought...

    finally slowly started to comment on things I enjoyed or found interesting...

    at this point I've played an obscene amount of pvp, so, I like to talk about that...I do okay, mostly though just cuz I've been playing so long...my builds and rotations aren't very spectacular - but, fairly functional...

    after a year or so the forums started becoming like a social experiment to me...my first real big influence was @Rohamad_Ali ...I was amazed by their ability to use images to convey ideas and emotions...it still fascinates and pleases me to find an image that'll work better than words for me...

    no doubt the forums have their rough spots...

    read: really *** game performance for way too high a percentage of players...

    it's just poor craftsmanship, which is disappointing to realize about something you care about...it's like rooting for a really bad professional sports team...I'm a new york knicks fan, and you can find me chatting over on knickerblogger, commiserating with other knick fans...some serious stat heads hang out there, and, a surprising number of musicians...weirdly enough, there are people whom can do both...

    this place here can be like willy wonka's chocolate factory compared to that place towards the end of another unsuccessful season...

    simple answer to why I'm here - I wanted to try to connect...

    @geonsocal my friend , so good being friends all these years thanks to the best part of the game . ESO forums . :D

    For this one the forums are filled with friends and family worth encouragement and often even more from the most supportive community in any game as far as Ali believes . It is the saving grace for ZoS .

    Because this one lost the keys to Castle Claws and now the orc girl will not let this one in the door until she can recite all 22 verses of 'Oh Fishmas Day'. The problem is that the orc girl only knows the rude version and does not believe this one when she says the salmon is leaping and not peeping.

    In short this one will be sleeping here tonight.

    I’m trying to figure out what the 3 letter word is for an activity you do in a hotel room when traveling alone for work.

    Buddy, that’s not covered as a business expense.
