Cancelled a subscription to a game that doesn't require a subscription to play......ok then. This deserves to be a contender for troll post of the year Suzie.
I'll be sure to let the door hit me on the way out as a reminder of how broken and poorly supported this game is.
Good grief.
Yet another thread you have made. Yes we get it. You bought the game in - April was it. Played for a some hundreds of hours. The devs didn't follow you around to instantly fix the bugs you reported (kudos for reporting them btw). Got bored / fed up. Left. Doesn't surprise me - I have said many times people will probably get bored with ESO long before they finish the content. Its a big game.
Fine.
If a game is that bad I doubt I would play for an hour. The fact that you did suggests it is "worth a look". The fact that you now post and post and post - seriously I suggest you get over it, move on, play another game. Life is to short.
"A real gamer" would delete all of their characters, asking Zeni to close the account permanently and remove their name from any further mailings.
Pretty much what I did 3 weeks after launch when they declined to refund my purchase saying I had played too much already. (I had a single level 35 DK)
I might have harbored no long term ill will if not for the fact others, especially in the EU were being granted refunds because, you know, legal reasons.
Told them at the time never again would I buy or play a Zenimax game. (Bethesda FO titles don't count)
Just trying to live long enough to play a new, released MMORPG, playing New Worlds atm

I like the guys on steam where you see them complaning how bad the game realy is.
then they have 2000+ hours played.
Why the heck are you playing a game that long for if its so bad? I will always say ESO is a good game whether i quit or not.
Because the genre is lacking for decent choices, especially if you are a PvPer and want active servers to play on.
This is not out of the ordinary, or suspect in the least. Them playing so long means they are better informed than many here in regards to the issues the game has.
Games often feel good, until you get to end game and sit there for a while... then the cracks start to show. But, by then, many people are too invested to quit (time investment, monetary investment in DLC/Expansions/Store Content, etc.) - so they stick around for a while hoping it will improve.
Look at all the people who play WoW, FFXIV, GW2, etc. who do the same thing. Complain about the game's problems, yet they still play it.
Same reasons.
Not sure why you see anything odd about that. It has ALWAYS been this way, and that behavioral pattern is 100% normal.

That's typically what I do.
Did that with Lineage II. Deleted everything. Billions of Adena. +15 R99 weapons and armor sets. Main characters and level 101+ Boxed Buffers/Healers. Then I deleted the NCSoft accounts and have never looked back.
Same with FFXIV. Deleted the Accounts. Game was boring as sin, to me... Worse than WoW, but without the fun BGs.
I'll probably do the same with my ESO account, since I never play the game anymore, and don't really feel like wasting money on Expansions/DLC for it.
There is a totally different type of gamer from the old school mmorpg gamers of the UO,EQ1 and FFXI era.
Now a days people seem to want simple,hand holding,rewards all the time.Play Destiny or some shooter game,drops loot,.The ONLY change i see in gamer's from one to the other is some only care about pvp.
What seems to be extremely rare is people looking to immerse themselves within a world.Everything is about Boss/Raid/Pvp/rewards,nobody is playing for fun,if you even mention the term fun,they call you a noob.
Another sad aspect is that gamer's don't really want to work with others,they are still selfish,they only use the others to achieve their selfish goals.hence why so many single players designs are so popular.
I have never changed my ideals for rpg gaming and if nobody wants to make another FFXI,a better updated version,then i simply won't play this new crap.It took me about 5 minutes to realize that TESO was not going to be a game i could like.I have given some games way more time than they deserve,like Wow,Gw2,they did not deserve the time i allotted them.I did not mind FFXIV too much because it was a nice looking game,offered some new ideas but not something i would spend years playing like i did with FFXI.
There is absolutely NOTHING on the horizon,mmorpg's are truly dead,devs are trying to change them into mixed genres and single player games.With a whole new age,a new mindset for game design,i think the old school mmorpg's might be gone forever and no i do not expect Pantheon to reignite the flame.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.

It's an inherent issue that you run into when you put that much time into any game. In the beginning the small issues don't matter, and you are more willing to forgive devs for whatever you don't really like about the game because it's new enough and you are probably having fun. Once you get to the 2k+ hour played time range in a game, every single little issue makes you hate the game more and more because of how long you have been playing it and you are still noticing them.
I'm convinced most people who have that much time in a game, will tell you about all the things they don't like before they tell you about what made it good enough for them to play it that long.

So you're saying it's kind of like a marriage?

Might see a post in another month about how they are "quitting for reals this time".
then they have 2000+ hours played.
