Please also state your reason.

I personally stopped paying. Cancelled my sub months ago and haven't bought the latest 2 DLCs, despite having all the previous ones. Because I don't feel like my money is well spent on a barely working product. I think the performance is getting only worse after each update. At least for PC EU. I'm going to start paying for content again when the game is on a playable state.

Mods please don't lock this thread for obvious reasons, it's not "unconstructive" at all. I want to hear people's opinions.

(Btw EU server is dead again)

    Never subscribed. Never bought crown crates. Still buying the content I like.

    But I'm on PC/NA, so I don't have to deal with not being able to log in during peak demand and festivals. If I did, I suspect I'd be reconsidering.

    How about I did pay, then I canceled and then restarted my sub last week?

    If I know I’m gonna be playing something else for a few months then I’ll unsubscribe but once you are used to a 400+ spot bank and a crafting bag it’s almost impossible to go back. I tried playing for one day without resubbing and my inventory was insane.

    So yeah, they got my $15 again.

    It appears that this game is like a drunken man i.e. one step forward 2 steps back. After the weekend update I was impressed with load and transion times improvement. So what happens today another update and we are back to the 5 min plus load and screen transition times.

    I'm paid up until the end of December if there is no improvement before then I will not be paying for a product which is not suitable for purpose.

    Pull you finger out people you should be disgusted as programmers that after all these years you still have the same problem's.

    I'm an original Beta tester and I've subbed since launch. Sure, I have quite a few complaints, but the entertainment value I still get is well worth the $15 a month.

    Non of the options fit my situation really. I'm paying but thinking of un subbing possibly sometime soon in the future.

    It occurred to me the other day that I've not really enjoyed playing the game for awhile now. I log in once a day for 30 mins max to claim the log in reward. Check the mail and get at the very least my daily event tickets. It's not just eso though. I'm also subscribed to wow and I've not logged into that for a month or more at all.

    It made me wonder exactly why i keep paying for a game I'm not currently playing much, and the main reason seems to be i feel I'm getting some value in the monthly crowns, after all i tend to become reinvigorated in my will to play again after time away, so those crowns will be useful then. Another factor is the statuettes. I know some people find them lame, but I'm a sucker for limited collectables.

    Craft bag and storage. Since I don't do housing I use it for the craft bag and the extended bank storage. I wish the game worked well because even though I am still paying I find myself playing considerably less.

    I've been subscribing for some time and I plan to continue. The only consistent bug I keep getting is the weapons thing. Every once in a while there is a hiccup in a crowded area but it's not a big deal.

    The poll will reflect current dissatisfaction with the service provided so it is good that we have this kind of threads, but also, people tend to return after the steam is off, and repurchase subscription again.
    Even more cos the mmorpg scene is stale and there are not much alternatives out there. ESO is a good game once the freaking technical issues are dealt with.
    Not to mention that it is huge. I'm one of the older wow players, and I can say that there is far more content here than in game that is out for a 15 years.

    So yeah, I'll endure this for now and keep the sub. We will see how the things will go on the longer run. I'm not the kind the person that will on the first sign of rage log in to my account and cancel sub, just to find myself re-sub again next month.

    Eh I'm paying cus I'm stilL grinding through story content, and it's cheaper to do 15 a month then buy the DLC flat out. I unsub when I'm done, and reup when I wanna play again, typically I do take 1-2 month breaks.

    Currently subscribed, but have not canceled because it is pointless until it is near time for renewal.

    For the second time, combat updates have made the way that I play less fun. The last time this happened was when they rolled out the vomit DK. This time, it is just the overall lack of sustain during the longer combat. I just don't feel like going through and figuring out how to thwart the combat team devs.

    I am not expecting to renew the subscription.

    E. I paid a bit back when I started, and bought a small crown pack during a sale 2-3 years ago, and I've been coasting on those crowns ever since. Doubt I'll pay more. But it has nothing to do with the current issues. /shrug


    (2 or 3 months of sub, the first free with the Tamriel Unlimited boxed copy I bought? And a 3k crown pack. I've since used it for a handful of cheap costumes, and getting Orsinium, TG, DB, and Clockwork during anniversary sales. Got 1.7k left.)

    edit: oh, right. And I bought Summerset+free Morrowind&Warden during the Summerset pre-order. And got Murkmire free from daily login rewards.

    no offense but this thread is kinda dumb. If you were trying to prove an edgy point about people quitting the sub then you failed because the majority votes are that people do... also, if ZOS actually wanted to look at numbers and see if people were actually quitting, i'm pretty sure (like at least 100%) they have better methods of seeing how many people are paying for their sub than a random thread on the forum that approximately 1% of the playerbase sees, and less than that votes on.

    I won't say will not pay anymore but I only pay when I'm really want to spend time in this game

    Currently not much new contents left for me and the connection make it almost unplayable( too lag, crash too often ).

    I subscribe, and I plan to keep subscribing. I'm a crafter and a decorator, so the craft bag and double housing item limit make it worthwhile. Plus, I get a bunch of free crowns each month that I have zero guilt about spending. :)

    I still haven't re-subscribed. The game is still really, really buggy.

    I have not quite pulled the trigger on canceling my sub yet. But I am damn close.

    The last round of combat changes absolutely destroyed the game.
    1. Sustain is an issue. The massive increase in AOE ability costs.
    3. Shield skill line got gutted.
    4. Bow skill line got gutted.
    5. 2H skill line got gutted
    6. DoT damage grosely overnerfed after being grosely overbuffed.
    7. So many sources of Major Defile moved/were removed.
    8. There is only 1 source of major vulnerability.
    9. There are 7 sets and 6 skills that provide major protection. Maintaining 100% time ( even solo) is 100% easy.
    10. Where many damage skills saw significant reduction in damage output healing saw no nerfs what so ever.

    All of these issues were pointed out DURING the PTS and NOTHING changed.

    Combat (especially PVP) is now dull, boring, unrewarding.

    Let's not even talk about how groups are supposed to completing achievements such as Godslayer...
    (and what? 6 months later only 3.. THREE groups have managed to complete it. I am unaware of any groups on PCNA that are even attempting it anymore)

    Just cancelled my sub.
    No point in paying for something that doesn't work.
    I haven't been able to play more than 4-5 BGs since u24 launched.
    All I do is stand around and get stuck in a seemingly endless loading screen.
    Why pay?
