@kyphe You had trouble questing with your wife, and I had no trouble questing with my wife. I think that what is happening is people are becoming increasingly negative in life. What did you one run into a couple quests that wouldn't allow you to group? So you gave up? It's just about having the right perspective. There is nothing wrong with the grouping in ESO. I play with my wife everyday and have no problems (or very little problems) with grouping.
@ScottOakley Fanboyism took place for WOW for along time, it made people addicted to a game, and they thought they needed to keep playing the game so they wouldn't fall behind (with gear etc. and progress). The fans of ESO, many are pvp'ers, and so the game isn't based on items. It's based on gameplay, customization, and the overall package of the game. Many players like myself could care less about the questing being "perfect", and there is no such thing as perfect anyways. The questing in this game is great. This game has strong support from players outside of the ES single player community, which will save the game (mainly those who enjoy tri-realm pvp combat).
I posted my thoughts on here a few days ago, one of the worst reviews ever - there is no way this game is under a 7.5 without personal bias becoming an issue, and lack of objectivity. Kevin is arguably one of the best reviewers, but gamespot has seriously gone down hill. Reviewing medocre games such as COD an 8, year after year, and being blind to what is special and unique has taken over.
Best pvp of any MMO.
Best character customization of any MMO.
Best questing of any MMO.
Best graphics of any MMO.
Best combat of any MMO.
There are some things the game needs to improve on, and can improve on. Which is a given for a new MMO. This is just a flat out bad review. Which is starting to become normal for gamespot nowadays.
@madmacallan @trueepower44Based on your comments earlier, I can see you already have other personal issues. Insulting someones intelligence, just means you have larger issues which you're dealing with. I can tell you I am not going to insult your intelligence or anyone else's intelligence on here, because that is just not smart, and its not right to act like that.
@madmacallan @trueepower44 Smart people don't criticize other people's intelligence. That just means they have issues themselves. Also, on the internet you say these things, because you're on the internet. In person you say nothing.
@Kayweg Well, we can agree to disagree on the questing, better IMO, but at least you're saying it's about equal. That's not being completely outrageous to say. MMO's are generally quite generic with their questing. I found ESO to be quite different, and many of their quests are far above average over other MMO's hand's down.
The duping won't matter when it's all said and done. The game just came out, and the gold will circle around. Money doesn't change the games mechanics, and or the pvp. Even slightly better gear is not going to give you much of an advantage anyways in pvp. That is not something that is a factor from my perspective (especially with the game just starting out).
It may not be fair to compare GW2 with ESO, but Kevin did. He did compare the two games, so I am just going by what he said. Clearly to me, ESO is the superior game. Kevin doesn't seem to think so, based on his ratings.
Glad you favor the sub fee, FTP is not working in the MMO market, and will probably never work.
You overstate things with the bots, I've had no problems gathering materials with multiple professions (with my wife playing, she hasn't had any problems either).
@madmacallan @trueepower44 "You're clearly not that bright", I am smart enough not to personally criticize people's intelligence. That completely disregards everything you just said.
@madmacallan Any other game has better combat? Really? You didn't even play the game then. Also, WOW over this game? You prefer children's cartoon graphics over ESO's graphics? To each their own, have fun with those games.
