I will stay subscribed for as long as I'm playing the game, because the game in my opinion is unplayable without plus. At the moment I'm barely playing though, because it's just no fun when skills don't fire and mechs are fubar, and half the group is kicked to login mid-fights.
It's funny seeing the same folks saying they just canceled, who just canceled several years ago.
The truth is you probably bought the game on steam during a five buck sale, you might have one level 20 character, and you spend 12-18 hours a day screaming on the forums about how bad eso and zos sucks, because to you trolling the forums is much more fun than any mmo could ever be.
As I said in another thread, I added a second ESO Plus over the weekend.
I expect I will use it for the base 30 days, and then drop it. I am doing stuff with that account that benefits from ESO Plus. Mainly, I am leveling some characters through DLC zone quests, dungeons, and a little sub-50 Cyrodiil, which does not highlight performance problems that exist in the game. On that account, this game is quite acceptable.

Hi Elsonso,
Thanks for your comment.
I am happy that you are enjoying the game with two subbed accounts. If you chose the 12euro/15dollar one month plan then yes it will last 30 days with the choice of stopping or continuing. For levelling and XP it works I agree, but I would like to be able to subscribe and play PVP in a good atmosphere (playable), some PVE on the side (I have done a lot in the past) and continue housing. I also read through you that you wish to promote the game in a positive light, which is understandable and I like the game too, yet I am having a more realistic approach in regards to paying for something that doesn't convene with performance as a whole.

PS : This post is no longer getting bumped to first page for unknown reasons. It would be a real shame if this was done...purposely?
I've softened on my initial response (for which I apologize), and voted.
I purchased a six month sub the last time I re-upped and I have four months remaining on it.
At this time, I have no plans on discontinuing.
I don't PvP, so I am not afflicted with the technical difficulties experienced by that crowd.
I'm also mostly a solo player, and I have not experienced any glaring issues associated with PvE in that regard, other than occasional very long loading screens.
As such, the perks that ESO+ grants currently outweigh the technical glitches that I personally experience.
My sub will continue until that changes.

Personally, if I was a player who was really invested in PVP, I would not be playing this game. That is something that I have said for years, now. If you can take the PVP, as is, and enjoy it, then all is good. If you expect more out of the game than what it is delivering, then you are going to be disappointed. PVP is "as-is", as far as I am concerned.
That said, I have found that staying in the SUB-50 campaigns is much better than going into the other ones. Of course, to stay with that, you need a new character every 50 levels.
As for how I portray the game, it is not so much that I want to promote the game in a positive light, as it is that I have no reason to focus on a negative light. I am not going to jump on a wagon that does not reflect my own experiences with the game. I figure I can talk about my experiences, just like everyone else, so I do.
Here, in the forum, everything is about Performance. Ability desync. Lag. Honestly, I am not really having significant problems with any of those three. Yes, I see them, but these are not my top concerns with the game. ZOS knows about these things. They seem invested in fixing performance issues. I have been around for a long time, as have you, and I have watched how ZOS does things. As long as they remain motivated, they will eventually figure out how to cross that finish line. Thus, I leave that to them and go about playing my game. Because, I can.
