The Elder Scrolls Online

Maintenance for the week of April 6:
• ESO Store and Account System for maintenance – April 8, 9:00AM EDT (13:00 UTC) - 6:00PM EDT (22:00 UTC)
We are currently investigating connection issues some players are having on the European megaservers. We will update as new information becomes available.

Should players who haven't played the game in over a month be allowed to post in this Forum?

I see more and more Forumposts where people state that they do not even play the game anymore. And i don't understand why they are here or what they are trying to accomplish..

My Suggestion would be make the Forum Account inactive if the "Gameaccount" hasn't been online in over a month.

EDIT: Ignore the grammatical Error in one of the questions please :|

    Maybe they have valid points or ideas and want to get them across.

    i dont mean to ban them, i just think it would be a more peaceful place if active people are allowed to post here.

    And if you want, log in and then you can post again.

    When I take breaks from the game, I visit the forums to see if there's been any changes to make it worth coming back, or if not, state that the issues causing myself and others to quit haven't been properly addressed.

    Yeah, maybe a anonymus vote would have been a better idea.. Ohwell, cant change it now.

    I just do not see the point in quitting the game and still go on the forums to let EVERYONE know what a *** game they play.

    The forum is here for feedback and peaceful discussion.

    Of course they should still be allowed to post as they are still part of eso community, however I think forum accounts should be linked to an in game account so others can see your most recent login, total playtime and playtime in the past 2 weeks. This way it is obvious when someone is troll posting or if they are sincere.

    That would be a good compromise, you could also flag forum accounts publicly as "inactive"

    LMAO. I took last patch off because I just couldnt handle the state of the game after 5 years and literally thousands of dollars spent. Logged in to the forums for the first time in a while today to see how the new patch was being received. Sounds like ZOS is killing it as usual. Haha

    My question is why is OP so sensitive to someone who has purchased the game but has not played it very recently? They are a customer just like anyone else.

    Just ignore the comment and move on if it bothers you.

    Should players who have played the game regularly for over 5 years or minimum 6.500 hours have log in / instance priority to the rest of the player base?... Yeah, why not huh....

    Im not really sensitive about it, i wanted to know other peoples opinions.
    I just felt like lots of players just go into this forum to remind everyone that they quit, and why they quit, and they should quit aswell..

    Im totally okay with you guys bashing me, not everyone has the same opinion and discussions help everyone, even if you dont share the point of other guys!

    Another divisive thread, pitting one part of the community against another. Supper helpful considering the state of the game is solely in the hands of the devs, who frequently ignore valid feedback.

    Yeah, that's the internet equivalent of plugging fingers in your ears and screaming "na-na-na" to anyone who disagrees with you. That's what the guys on ESO subreddit do.

    And at this point it feels like I get more enjoyment playing the forum game than the actual game. You know, how we all are flaming, baiting and trolling each other to farm those ten stars. At least here we don't get our progress reset by nerfs every 3 months.

    Soooooo...

    The company will gladly take their money, as they Bought the game.

    And, in return, the company will Not let them Talk about the game.

    Have I missed anything?
