we show ZOS love by buying crowns, new expansions, and ESO+. What do we get in return? it's definitely not performance improvements.

I was working from home and it was actually very difficult in a company that is all about communication. I am back at work now, but its a slow process to introduce more people and is still very hard. With a company doing something to this scale.... Wow! Yes, This is 100% difficult for them, whilst working from home.

Dear Elara,

Source of the problem isn't `1 more day without Greymoor`.
It's a snowball effect rolling down since quite some time and splashed the ground today with this failed launch.

I think I can simply order the problems as following;

1) Communication failures
ZoS Developer team isn't communicating enough with reasons of why they're doing stuff, in-line of what, according to what standards (as they're using this word quite a lot). Their road-map is unclear, what they have in mind is unclear and they love keeping it this way. People hate things they can't predict.

2) Hypocrisy
e.g.
They have changed let's say 2 places in-game:
1) Veteran Asylum Sanctorum +2: Now every new Concentrated Force dropped there won't have unique value, instead XXX. It's fine. But changed the weapons in our inventories too, which we dropped before Greymoor chapter. It is disadvantage for us. But happened.
2) Veteran Maelstrom Arena: Now every new Crushing Wall has changed too. And we have looted our weapons before Greymoor, but this time they don't change the weapons in our inventories. Because it is to our advantage.

This approach isn't acceptable. Either do both or don't. It's a personal decision of someone in the Developer Team and this approach cannot deserve any respect.

3) Unending and unfruitful lies:
They have promised us to eliminate or reduce in-game lags, desyncs, FPS spikes, and bugs. We have re-downloaded the whole game for this. The result was only regret & disappointment. Since I joined this game nearly 8-9 months ago, I have seen 3-4 updates which `Fixing` exactly the same things all over again. It's either game is dead, or the team is lying.

4) Dishonesty:
e.g.
Currently Followed Policy
> Buff A,B,C,D by 50%-70% (they're aware and noting this to be fixed 2 patches later)
1 month later:
> Buff E,F,G,H by 50%-70%
2 months later:
> Hammer A,B,C,D by 50/70%
1.5 months later:
> Buff P,N,R,T by 50-70%
1.5 months later:
> Hammer E,F,G,H by 50-70%
...
...
and so on.

ESO Combat Team meeting with the Managing Board:
> Yes Sir, we're constantly working & keeping up to date in accordance with the community to make sure incomes are stable & increasing.

Fact:
> They're actually creating their very own job need to secure their very own future to be able to tell "there is a roadmap" to higher echelons.
> The only real workers are "Lore team, dungeon designers, text-writers, community managers" etc.

The Combat Team:
> There is no such approach called "Buff 50% to Nerf 50% 2 months later" it's not tweaking. It's destruction. Its proof of they doesn't have any idea over what they are simply doing, proof of "No vision" at all.
> There is a somehow ticking combat system, more or less satisfying. Fine-tune it, 5-10-15% and within 6-7 months you can find a sweet spot of skills/abilities in harmony.

5) And finally, the epic launch failure with Greymoor, where people were whining in the forums since the first day about their unhappiness with many changes included, it's announced but no-one cared at all.
----

And Forum Moderators are removing messages secretly from all over the places. There is heavy censorship here. They want us to write all this on Twitter I think after tagging all devs & company owners and start a Mexican wave there. Do not remove messages like this please. It's uncivil and autocratic.

I can count more, but I will not bother myself. I just wanted to say it's not `late launch` that raging people.

Sincerely!
