@ZOS- Done giving you money until a better way to find groups is added for console, IE- text chat

SSIA.
It really saddens me to say this ZOS, but you have made finding groups in this incredible game an undiscribable chore and its time to cut losses.
90% of the friends i started playing the game with, all of them seriously dedicated originally, have left for the same reason and i can no longer waste my time with this nonsense.

Unless you are a player who only pvps or is lucky enough to have a specific dedicated group of friends that have the exact same schedule and always want to run the exact same content at the exact same level...then you are basically SOL when it comes to trying to run any reasonable amount of pve group content.

For those that this is their first mmo maybe they don't knwo what they are missing.
However, for anyone that has playedd mmos before the idea of logging in every day and not being able to simply shout for a group to run content is ludicrous.

Instead what are the alternatives you've given us to a simple LFG text capable of communicating with the entire server of 10s of 1000s of players who also want to actualyl play the game?
-- a queue system tht could leave a player in queue for an entire day, and then on the chance you do find a group god knows what roles or levels or just plain dysfunction you'll find.
--or a VC system capable of shouting to maybe a dozen other desperate souls located in one vicinity?
--or wait...how about the 'Destiny' model plan of suggesting players go outside the game to use third party apps/websites to find groups.

NO. All of that is making things 100s of times harder than it needs to be.
There is a reason EVERY SINGLE MMO since the dawn of time has had text chat, becasue it is the simplest way for players to find the other players they need to compulsively run gorup content no stop.
/end rant.

ZOS- You have lost many many potential obsessive mmo customers like myself that would have spent 100s , 1000s of dollars over the next few years supporting your game.
AS it stands now i cannot justify spending a single red cent more for what is in essence a single player game on console.
-Add text and WE will be back and playing every day, paying subs, buying everything fromt the store.
peace.

    Trouble is that if you go to the PTS thread about grouping tools, it's still not working as intended at the moment.
    Hopefully they get it working fully, but I really have no faith in ZOS at this point.

    Greeting HeathenDeacon,

    We understand that sometimes people will leave the ESO community, and want to post a “goodbye” or “quitting” thread. Generally, we have found that “goodbye” and “quitting” threads have a tendency to go downhill fast. It is our policy to read the feedback in “goodbye” and “quitting” threads and close them, regardless of whether they are constructive or not.

    Thank you.
