Would you still play ESO if ? 🤔

Keledus✭✭✭Yes - Give reasonI dont use that many addons tbh most of them are just quality of life or make the game look abit prettier.
DARKUI (Makes the UI look sooo much better)
Minimap
(Harvest/Shards/Books)
Master Merchant
I personally think these addons should've been in ESO as base game feature regular auctionhouse is horrible, DARKUI makes the game look so much better and why in gods name doesn't the base game have a minimap.
Thats pretty much it dont see much of a point in most other addons I dont like my screen to be cluttered with tons of ability cooldowns etc.PC - EU0 -
MrGarlic✭✭✭✭✭
✭No - Give ReasonThe user interface is tedious and cumbersome.
I'd only continue to play if ZOS reworked the UI to make it more user-friendly.
Not having a mini-map is a serious oversight by ZOS.

Dosuul✭✭✭No - Give ReasonI'm a crafter / trader and this would make my life way to hard, you can't take it away.
Never had ... ok, np. Take away ... no, not possible.2 -
Tommy_The_Gun✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭Yes - Give reasonThe only add-on I use is Treasure map & crafting survey locations (it is called Lost Treasure I think). Saves a lot of time. So in a scenario in which all add-ons are disabled, I will simply alt+tab the game and look it up on YouTube.
The biggest problem I can see is that on PC game economy could collapse. There are a lot of tracking add-ons that help find reasonable price for stuff. So for example the "Tamriel Trade Centre" website would simply stop working.Edited by Tommy_The_Gun on September 15, 2019 9:13PM0 -
Robo_Hobo✭✭✭✭✭
✭Yes - Give reasonI quite like addons, they make the game have a lot more quality of life, but I played a long time without realizing addons were a thing, and that also coincides with the time I had the most fun with eso (when I first started, when it first came out) so I'm quite certain I'd still manage without them.0 -
WeylandLabs✭✭✭✭✭Yes - Give reasonI use 15 different addons, and they've all stopped working at one time or another. The only ones where that really bothered me were the mini map, Advanced Filters and to a lesser extent Binder (which saves and instantly loads keybindings). With all the rest I'd just carry on without it until it was working again. So I think those are the only ones I'd really miss if addons were disabled, and I can (and have) played without them, it's just more frustrating.
Oh, Tamriel Trade Centre too. It doesn't bother me if the addon isn't working for me, but if it stopped working for everyone then the website would only list items added manually, and I'd be back to never buying anything from guild traders because it's just not worth wasting time trying to find a trader selling the items I want by pure chance.
Full list in case anyone is curious:Advanced Filters
Azurah (mainly to move/hide the UI)
Binder (saves key bindings)
Craftstore (mainly to track which motifs I have unlocked)
Greymind Quickslot Bar (so I can use the extra slots for collectables, in place of a favourites function)
Hide House Previews
Inventory Insight
Banker Shut Up
Master Merchant
Mini Map (Fyrakin's one)
pChat
Quest Map (only turned on when I think I'm done with a zone - to see if I missed anything)

Tamriel Trade CentreTo suggest that anyone who reads this topic but doesn't vote counts as a "No" vote is of course utterly absurd. There are all sorts of reasons why players read polls without bothering to vote in them, not least in this case because they may play on console but still be interested in the results even if the poll is irrelevant to them.
That and the click-bait title which means you have to read the post to find out what on earth it's even about. I suppose at least it's a novel way of trying to ensure your poll is impossibly biased and only the answer you want can ever win, better than the usual "insult anyone who picks the other options within the text for those options" approach.
Especially since this forum doesn't track unique page views, so anyone looking at the topic more than once artificially increases the count. If the OP wanted to they could just keep clicking in and out to rack up no "votes".
Becuase I forced people to vote ? That shows the level of degree you and others are willing to go. You do realize I can edit the post again, and delete my bolded highlight.
See your more upset about the way i handle my poll instead of being truthful. I forced you to make a choice and you argue the choice. Yes do I know what you said is true ... it is. But when I force people to make a choice even though its a no answer, you just showed me they will choose yes.
So you saying yes doesn't mean you ever played without add-ons. And by the looks of how many add-ons you have or tested or had you won't ever.
If you or any other player never played without any-ons but still answered yes. Your answer and your posts are trully hypocritical and gives you no validation toward any yes argument. Not towards my poll - but in my opinion.
Fact is the huge majority of players won't ever play ESO without Add-ons.
But you all probably asking why does this matter ?
Well - Id like to know if I'm going to invest my time in ESO again with Google Stadia.
If it supports all add-ons I'm in... if I'm still hindered or limited a small amount of add-ons I'm out.
This poll was for console players who wanted to make a choice to invest there time. And I wanted to beat the timing of ZOS marketing - becuase if Google Stadia gives eso better performance on PC servers but doesn't allow us an equal playing field in terms of Add-ons. Then Stadia is not worth the investment for any game and bye bye ESO.Edited by WeylandLabs on September 15, 2019 9:45PM0 -

✭✭No - Give ReasonNative UI is almost useless.
In terms of functionality it was out of date 10 years before the game launched.
Game is effectively unplayable without UI addons.
I mean for crying out loud even LOTRO - launched April 2007 - has a better UI than ESO.

✭✭✭✭✭No - Give ReasonI tried playing it without addons and while its certainly doable, too many base UI aspects start annoying me enough that I would rather just play something else.
however... if ESO would add functionality of the addons that I personaly enjoy into a base game, the way they did with multicraft and some degree awesome guild store? then my answer would change.dirty worthless casual.

✭Other/Troll Answer - 😂Here is the "Other/Troll".
Add-ons are cheats. I never thought so before, but ironically, Fallout 76 showed me that add-ons are cheats. So when I play on PC I try to play with as little add-ons. While they are called "quality of life" it's still a cheat. You get an advantage over a person not using add-ons on PC while the consoles can't even have them.
Also PC is a console, or consoles are a PC. So yeah when someone uses an add-on they are cheating. After all, game was designed a certain way so to change it, is cheating. Nothing wrong with it in a single player way, but in multiplayer, yeah some add-ons give an advantage to one who doesn't use any.
Not serious here, but it did say "troll". This is in jest so please nobody comment since I am not serious here.
Since I play on both PC and console, I would still play.Not my quote but I love this saying

I’ve recovered skyshards and lorebooks on 20-some-odd characters, but I still don’t remember where they all are. Trading without Master Merchant? No thanks. Doing writs without Lazy Writ Crafter? Well, I used to do that, and I hated it. Nope. No way I can go back go a no Add-Ons ESO.3 -
