I use the forums to gain more knowledge about the game and share suggestions/feedback. So far I've learned how to get a good dps build from these forums.

Ingel_Riday✭✭✭✭✭To get more information about the game/share information about gameUsually to get more information about the game / share information on my end.
Sometimes, in all blunt honestly, I use the forums to grumble and complain. "I've killed 3,000 mudcrabs and have never gotten the monster trophy? Is it still even in the loot tables?" "Why did you tie leads to doing a raid? I can never find a group in group finder and this game doesn't have a raid-finder system like World of Warcraft. How am I ever going to get this done?" "Why can't we toggle hip-plates? I want to put Ivory Brigade armor on my gal, but the hip plates float to the side and drive me crazy." "I have never gotten a single page of Ancestral Akaviri. This is a hopeless motif."
I do a bit too much grumbling from time to time. :-P
Edit addition: every now and then I'll fancy posting about a visual glitch / bug on the appropriate part of the forum, but most of them are minor and (truth be told) get resolved pretty fast. The low-rez, 2D neuron trees still pop up in Apocrypha for some reason, but not nearly as often as they used to and I think the devs are locking that down... so I tend to not even bother anymore on this front.

Taril✭✭✭✭✭Overall, the trend would be that many people visit the forums to provide feedback (I.e. Complain)
Some people will visit the forums to obtain information (Either redirected by googling and being offered a thread in the forum that covered the question, or by making a thread asking a question)
A (vocal) minority will come to a forum to provide suggestions.
Personally... I just wander around looking at random threads and occasionally opine on a topic that seems interesting (Or that I believe I have relevant knowledge about)0 -

✭✭✭The forums are pvp (other)In all seriousness, I’m just someone who likes talking about game design in general. I like analyzing ESO’s direction from a design perspective and sharing my opinion on things.
At the end of the day, I do want the game to improve, but I doubt my feedback ever makes a big difference. I never feel like I’m wasting my time here since I’m discussing something I have a passion for though.PC NA and Xbox NA3 -

Might've been an idea to make multiple choices selectable.
As far as I'm aware at this point in time, that can't be an option with polls on Vanilla forums.______________________________________________________

✭✭✭✭✭To get more information about the game/share information about gameI do learn tips and things that I find helpful.
The most valuable aspect of the forum for me is if I run into a bug/glitch in the game, I come straight here to usually learn the problem is not on my end. Then I can do my troubleshooting (drink a cup of coffee) while the kind ZoS folks fix the problem.
