It isn't out for console yet, so not all us have played High Isle to have an opinion

I haven't been entirely pleased with this chapter, but I haven't been with the last two, yet I still pre-purchase. It's just a FOMO/gotta have it thing. =/

Yes, and regardless of the High Isle experience. I simply buy each new chapter - it's my life in the world of Elder Scrolls.

Maybe wait for a next year chapter preview?

What ZOS needs to do to get me to buy another chapter:

1. Actually fix performance
2. Provide more value for my money than the competition (which isn't just MMOs)
3. Give Bosmer back their stealth radius

People who actually play the game and are interested in new content and raids will buy it. Those with less interest in ESO or play more casually will not.

This is how it happens every year and we don’t need a poll to tell us that.

Interesting that the small number of results so far indicate only a small percentage feel that they had a negative experience with this expansion.

We also have to wonder how many of those and of the maybe option actually buy chapters.

I am not interested at all in new areas being created with new content while the existing map has so many open areas for which content can be created.

Also new areas can be created with much more exciting possibilities, such as bringing back a secret way of entering the lost Dwarven civilization or the lands of the Skyrim Nord ancestors etc...

Perhaps a whole new area of possibilities can be created by introducing time portals, an alternative version of the Imperial City etc. can be visited this way.

I must say, that I too would love to see the whole of Tamriel explorable.

At this stage probably not.

I was a bit disappointed by High Isle and the general projections for what the next story will be are either a Redguard area or a Telvanni area.

Thus far, the Redguard areas have been some of my least favorite parts of the game so I'm not really interested in more.

I think a Telvanni area could be interesting in theory but, in practice it'd likely be too culturally uncomfortable for the writers to actually produce in an interesting fashion and it would also be a challenge to mesh with some of the foundations they've built for the game when it comes to the recognition/power of your character as well as the moral views of the companions.

As a result, I doubt I'd buy either one at this stage.

Same here. I hadn't expected to be drawn in by the card game, but so far I'm enjoying it a great deal and think it's been very well designed. I can't speak about the quests and overall storyline yet, because I haven't completed them.

I haven't bought a chapter at full price since the Elsweyr chapter, and I probably won't buy any more until the quality goes back up to at least Elsweyr or hopefully Wrothgar. Summerset was the pinnacle of chapter releases, but it would seem that most of the talent within ZoS has left for something else at this point so aiming for that amount of value with a chapter these days doesn't seem as feasible anymore. Not even the loremaster stayed around for long after Summerset, and he helped write the amazing Clockwork City stuff which was pretty damn cool.
