Would you be OK with ZOS not releasing 1 or 2 content updates and fixed bugs instead?

    They could easily just delay or get rid of a dungeon DLC one quarter and just focus on bug fixes or anyone not working on bug fixes have extra time to focus on the Chapter most people don't do the DLC dungeons anyways and if they do its a one and done unless you need gear... then just rebrand the game to The Elder Scroll Online: Remastered or something when the 2023 chapter comes out

    Btw, I explained the Wayrest situation (seems you don't like to read) that people think it's a bug, where it's not.

    2 - Show me proof of you timing skills (min 1 second delay between skills) where skill get stuck. If you desperately hurry the skills is your fault. Otherwise, show me proof that you are right-timing them and they are not firing.

    3 - Addons fault. Otherwise, just common bugs (as in any game) that ZOS ALWAYS ACKNOWLEDGE and fix with weekly maintenances.

    Sorry, no. Addons or no addons, crashes are going to happen, whether console or pc.

    If you aren't a dev, I am in no way obligated to post anything for you and spend my precious short time of play (this game or not this game) just to prove you wrong. You are welcome to just watch someone stream this game and see skills not firing + in combat glitch. You think people haven't ever clipped those before? Then you perhaps are the one that need to prove that these issues don't happen unlike army of people experiencing these problems.

    Funny no one can prove that skills don't fire if they are not used wrong. :D

    Stop pressing your keyboard like if you were firing a machine gun (mening don't press two or three skill keys at the same time, don't try to drop your ulti at the same time you are trying to release another skill o grabbing a synergy, etc.) and you will see skills always work perfecly.

    Content pays the bills. Without the content, you can't pay people to fix the bugs. What should be happening is that content is being made and a different group of people are fixing bugs.

    So the game is fine it's in a good state and then you acknowledge that their are actually bugs that need to be fixed? Second some of these are being worked on, not all and several are actual issues like the control one which is happening across every platform and only is resolved by closing the game... And just because they are looking at a fix doesn't mean it will happen for a long time sometimes taking 3 or more maintenance cycles because they are working on content instead which is the entire point.

    as a player on PC EU I kinda wanna wait till we get new servers to see overall performance - which inpacts the playability of the game more for me (especially in PvP) than some minor Bug fixes. Also why would people pay eso if they don't get new content? and how are they supposed to make money if they stop selling their DLCs for a while??? I don't see that happening ...

    I wish they would bring some kind of new PvP DLC to the game, but that will continue to be a dream for some more years I guess ... Tho if eso could get back to the big crowds in PvP etc like in 2014-17, I guess they would also have enough pvp players that would pay for such a DLC. Another way could be them bringing PvP content alongside a PvE Chapter that kinda all players will buy ...

    btw there is one BUG they should fix with macOS if you directly start the game without the launcher my PoV is spinning like crazy (and reload doesn't work, you have to start via launcher again) - but that is just because I am lazy and sleepy ...

    The only way to force people to spend money is to push new content, and a business needs people who spend their money, now go figure.

    [snip]

    A game-breaking bug is, let's put an example, players loot containers in a city and every single container contains 100k gold inside every time it respawns, so every single player starts making thousands, millions of gold by just looting bugged containers and the game economy breaks.

    OR, let's say a potion bought to the merchant at AD base (Cyrodiil) is bugged and gives 100 times its regular buffs, so players from AD faction buy that potion and destroy DC and EP faction in Cyrodiil, breaking the PvP system.

    Those are game-braking bugs, not the common examples you provided.

    Since when "resolve" bugs give them money!?
    It's all about $$$$$$ and solved bugs make them spend time/developers and PAY (spend money) and this is100% again't the intencion in here. Make profit.

    Add new content = money
    Solve bug = Lost money

    Add new items = Money
    leave bugs alone = Players get out (they already spend money) now they spend 0
    And call for new player = Bring fresh money

    If the people responsible for bug fixes are all the same as those creating new content, the team is a lot smaller than I'd imagined. From explanations given recently it would seem they are different teams. Personally I want new content to keep me interested, the bugs are there, but for the most part everything is playable and those bugs are a hindrancce rather than things that prevent me playing at all.

    They already did a year long 'performance improvement plan' in 2019 and 2020: https://www.elderscrollsonline.com/en-us/news/post/56681

    They didn't completely stop making new updates but did reduce the size and scope of the ones they made and prioritised bug fixes and things which affect performance behind the scenes. The end result of that is the game we have now.

    I'm not convinced doing it again would be produce different results. I think they should continue to work on the games performance and bug fixes, as they do (every patch includes a long list of fixes) but making a big fuss about putting all their time into it and reducing or delaying new releases to accommodate that didn't seem to achieve anything different so I don't see the point in doing it again.

    I don't think they fixed as many bugs and made QoL improvements as you may think.

    I'm all for bug fixes, although receiving less content instead isn't always favorable. I would rather they stop releasing rushed content with so many bugs in the first place, and put more effort into fixing bugs reported by their customers.

    I believe the internet has spoiled developers over the years. It has allowed them to focus less on in-house testing and just let the paying customers do their live testing for them. It also allows them to knowingly release bugged content and just update/patch/hotfix it later. And the customers have become conditioned to "just accept it" because "all software has bugs" and "developing is hard"...

    Or simply not fix the bugs.

    Those who claim fixing bugs is completely different have never worked in software development or are not being accurate. Places I worked at often had developers fix their own bugs to encourage them to make fewer bugs! But writing code and debugging code is the same skillset.
