It's more productive than whining, because you are then at least actively doing something rather than back seat driving.
Well yes and no, it depends on the topic. I reported shadow image being broken, never got and feed back and waited a year for the fix. Meanwhile after multiple tickets and then a volume of steadily declining in politeness forum threads they banned my old account. So they have a track record of not responding and not fixing, it's not always black and white.
So then you resort to back seat driving, and expect people to take it serious?
I'm not sure how reporting that a skill literally did not work is back seat driving.
You must not have played then, but the skill did not work. For like 6 months it just did nothing when you cast it. Then for another 6 months once you moved out of range, the skill would bug, the whole thing would gray out and be uncastable. Then aftet a year of silence they come out and finally said it was fixed, and it was not. It could not move you on the y axis, it took another few months to fix this.
No you said that reporting problems got you nowhere, and that nothing was happening, which implied that you stopped reporting said issues due to the report system you've been using has gotten you nowhere, so you went back to backseat driving. Or is that not what you did? You continue to report, regardless of seeing immediate changes?
It's still not back seat driving. More of went to a different source to see if the employees who monitor the forums could shed some light on the subject. Because submitting tickets about a broken skill did nothing. And the fact it was nb image people did not care. Think is streak didn't work, just flat out wouldn't cast. Bol wouldn't work just would not cast.... Not really sure how I would relate its importance to dk... But you get the picture. It was not back seat driving more of "come on guys what is going on here, this is completely broken"
Telling other people how to drive the car when you're not driving the car is back seat driving. That applies to everything.
Ok well then if I am ever in a car with you and the back tire is flat I will make sure to not say anything

Good, the light on my console would have already alerted me that the tire has low pressure, and the car would be leaning to one side and be physically apparent that something was wrong, which would lead me to pull over for a visual inspection.

Would you have told your passengers hang on guys I have a flat tire? They didn't.... For a year. Every big patch I would start a thread asking why is shadow image not in the patch notes. Know what would end up happening?

Nope, I think if they look out the window they would be able to visually tell we were pulling over, and since you made it a apparent in this hypothetical scenario that you also realized the tire was flat, once I park and leave the vehicle you can them inform them if why we pulled over if you should so chose. I'd personally not waste any time talking though, and just go fix the problem and be on my way asap.
I also love being lectured by “Glorious PC Master Race” bros whenever we complain about the game’s current poor performance on console. The onus is on ZOS to ensure that the game performs well on every platform, and yet the Glorious PC Master Race bros seem to feel the need to inform you how “mediocre“ your system is (despite being able to run any other supported AAA game with no problems).
I do find it interesting that in this thread two people are arguing about flat tires.

People who like the game attack those who don't because usually people who voice their "dissatisfaction" are straight up attacking the Devs.
No one is innocent here.

At this point with the server it has devolved into that, but earlier years when it was just people expressing thier dislike of skill changes or the way things operated, it was a bit more mob mentality.

That's how long it takes for the Earth to make a full revolution around the Sun, so sometimes a year is as soon as possible for some things.
I have noticed that in lots of threads where people voice their dissatisfaction with any issues with ESO on this forums there quickly appear other people who express their huge surprise that some people happen to not like a thing about ESO. It happens that these folk also ridicule or accuse the poster of having a too low an IQ or something similar. Kind of reminds me when a new Apple product used to launch and someone found it for some reason not to their liking and dared to say so...
Am I missing something here...? Any rewards for congratulating ZOS on the awesome job they are doing and attacking people feeling any different?

For example, if I were to say “why instead of crying about nerfs you learn to get gud”, the thin skinned forum warrior will be like: “he’s rude”, but there’s nothing rude about it. Get gud.
There has yet been a nerf that has made anything impossible. Still completing all veteran trials, dungeons, and DLCs. Still rocking it in cp and no cp campaigns. Not every player will be good at the game. Myself I’m not amazing, I get rekt by the same people and I wreck the same faces. You’re not entitled to complete or be good at hard content.
Now if they are complaining about performance or stability — I get that, that’s beyond their control (kinda), but if they are on a console or PC with the right specs, the game should perform and shame on ZoS for allowing such performance. Personally I don’t experience anything out of the norm, sometimes a long load screen when a keep flips, and maybe some frame rate checks, and under a blue moon I might dashboard. But those who aren’t playing on absolute potatoes should still be able to play and that is something ZoS should address. I feel bad for the EU server.
Outside of that, OP says something to the effect of not liking anything about the game — my question is why even play it at that point? If you hate it so much leave. I mean that’s common sense 101. Also if words on a forum hurts your feelings, you need to prioritize how you interact with reality. The amaranth is real — and if your identity is so fragile that you feel “attacked” when someone calls out your bull, then that’s on you. You need to log out of the internet and get reacquainted with RL.
khajiitNPC wrote: »@CleymenZero ZOS apologist aren’t a thing. Not everything is some seedy conspiracy — most people want the game to run smoothly as possible. And I know it might be mind blowing to you, but — for a lot of people the game runs pretty darn good. I’m a console pleb and have very little issues. I play probably 4 to 5 hours a day — mostly PvP in high density areas (either zerging or surfing the edge of a zerg), no issues. I might have a frame rate check here and there, or a load screen when a keep flips, but for the most part I can play consistently for those 4 hours. On the weekends it’s not abnormal for me to go 8 hours (split up throughout the day). So no, I’m not playing house. I also do vet trials and vet DLCs without issues. I heal and tank so I can find a group pretty fast with group finder, or I already am in a group of two or more —
Now that’s not to say ZoS doesn’t need to get their code together, because they do — everyone should be able to enjoy the game as much as I do.
My point is — the forum is an echo chamber, a lot of people aren’t even hardwired into the game, running on routers in households that have over 20 devices in the network, ect — I’m not saying that’s all cases, but I know it attributes to poor performance. Some people are on potatoes computers. There’s more moving pieces than anyone wants to address.

I play on an Xbox one X and I can be on Alessia bridge with 20-30 plus of each faction and not have issues. As well as other streamers if you watch ESO streams. Idk. I’m just saying — to equate people who disagree with you as ZOS apologists is crazy in itself.
