Stay away from the game

User Rating: 1 | The Elder Scrolls Online PC

So I've been an Elder Scrolls fan since Morrowind first came out. Bethesda has done excellent job bringing a world together that intrigues the imagination and allows freedom of choices. However, Zenimax is the driving force behind ESO. These developers have taken a game that had great potential and buried it in the ground with a stake in it's heart.

Why do I say this? When the game first came out, it was rough around the edges like all games at their beginning. However, most developers listen to their player base to help guide their decisions of improving the game. Zenimax, on the other hand, does the opposite. They have chosen to listen only a set few players, the PvPers. Now this all well and good for them. PvE and RP players are left to suffer though with not even a blink at any of their suggestions. If ESO was more like Smite or League of Legends then, okay I would totally understand, but ESO started out as a game of adventure and fun, not some competitive event.

My other problem with Zenimax is how they refused to listen to our trade guilds concerns about lack of trading spots to create a more competitive free market. With the joining of servers to just 2 mega servers, we went from a few thousand trade guilds competing for a guild trader spot to close to ten of thousands competing for the same amount of limited traders. The smaller trade guilds have suffered and the large more active guilds have grown richer. Prices of items have shot through the roof to insane amounts of gold for the best gear. The in-game market is now crashing due to these issues. Also due to the fact a lot of the members in the larger guilds have unsubscribed from ESO and completely quit playing.

In summary, if Zenimax continues to ignore their larger PvE and RP player base, we will be watching this game turn more into the cash grab that it already is. In my opinion, you're better off not wasting your money on the game or it's newest expansion Morrowind. The game has not stayed true to what it was suppose to be.
