Reasons I'll be slowing down on ESO

Been a great ride! Will continue the crystal and key's dailies since they take the longest. But I suspect that will be about it for a while...a handful of reasons below:
  • Random nerf: The upcoming crit nerf for no apparent reason. I put in a lot of time and effort into golding my MS gear, only to see it get nuked. I'm glad I didn't burn the 200 crystals, slaughterstone and ninrflux on these like I was going to (hello Medusa)
  • Laughable "rewards": The Tribunal Coffers are a joke. Period (see the next soon to be thread)
  • Getting shot through objects: Seriously...I realize there's most likely nothing to be done, but when I go galloping by and get shot by an arrow THROUGH A MOUNTAIN by an entity I've aggro'd...ya no it's just dumb.
  • Ludicrous item/ingredient rarity: Clam-gall anyone? Large clam shells at the geysers should ALWAYS have one. I've ran countless Vault of Madness veteran runs for an inferno staff with no luck (and that includes the whole 4 man team). At some point it starts to turn into "work"...and having my entertainment involve "work"...is counter productive.

I'm sure there are a litany of smaller annoyances, but these are the core...especially the nerf...man what a bite.

    I too have had to take breaks. I switch games for a while because nothing is perfect, and a change of scenery is good. I also enjoy digital art, so I can turn off games when i've had enough and enjoy other hobbies. But it will be here when you come back if you do take a break. :smile:

    I totally get being cheesed about a nerf but it's pretty much all games and sometimes a balance pass includes nerfing your build. Personally I think the crit meta should be nerfed since it's the only real meta to play. I look forward to other types of builds.

    It seems like you made the game into a job, where you feel you need to be at the top of the game. And where all rewards need to be worthwhile for endgame players, but for a game this is impossible to achieve.

    I've had this issue in games before. Just take a small break, and go do what you enjoy in the game. Instead of logging in to go do what you feel you must do.

    I've never had this happen. It sounds like fun. What is the secret? I wanna be shot through mountains!

    Oh I'll never be at the top of the game...I haven't bought all the DLC I would need to do that ;) So no...not job...just wanted to finish out what I started as I started it...but I do get a living, breathing game. And if you agro a range opponent while galloping around....look back as you get shot/spelled...you'll see some amazing things :)

    Crit one is pretty strange part, crit damage is still too potent to pass on it so critical is even more desirable but harder to get. Only change is some gear options (acuity and possibly pfg comeback) and thief mundus for some specs, nothing major.
