Yeah NGL that's how I feel too.. I just came back after leaving in patch 35, and was thinking after not having eso+ what it would be like as a new player in the game.. IF you ever played Star Wars The Old Republic (swtor)

This and that game is setup vary alike..

Everything is locked behind paid walls even after years of it being out..

If you want to go somewhere in swtor gotta pay for a car..
If you want to craft jewelry in eso gotta pay for a DLC.
If you want to play the best class in the game gotta pay on both swtor and eso..
if you want to enjoy the game without stopping here a crafting bag.. both do this..
if you really look at whats available to yourself after purchasing you quickly leave..

Players understand being charged for BRAND NEW CONTENT, but when it comes to old that should be included in the base game purchase itself..
they are locking QOL things behind paid walls and its frustrating in such a fun game...

The eso + has racked millions if not a few billion over the years not to mention the dlcs they still charge for..

We cant level up mounts fast.. unless you pay..
We cant level up toons skill lines like mage and undaunted quick unless you pay..

why is it onger we all play the harder it gets? + more repeat things we gotta do to progress if were don't want to pay..

none of it makes sense as a completionist. where my time as a console player to do these things? maybe they should look at what the game really is on console and stop focusing on eso in PC.. bc after almost ten years not a single grinding thing has change for us..

no addons for traders..

no place to make builds quicker..

more ppl have consoles then pcs and I'm sure those statics of what platform make the most of the community were fomo.
