I've been playing ESO since day one. I guess that's about 5 years or so. It's always been buggy/glitchy but never as bad as it has been since the Elsweyr DLC.
(By the way and not to get off track, I've been a "Gold" member for 5 years but still have to pay for the DLCs which are supposed to be a part of the Gold package. Correct me if I'm wrong). Anyway, it's been my habit to spend Saturdays playing ESO for most of the day. Saturday is my big day. Today is Saturday but the game is so buggy that it's nearly impossible to play. So, I'm watching TV and posting on this forum instead.
ZOS is a wealthy company. It's had 5 years to fix the mechanics of ESO but things are worse now than ever before. Twice within recent days, the system was taken down for "maintenance" (whatever THAT is) and yet nothing has been fixed or "maintained." What this tells me is that ESO is out of control. ZOS is at a loss for solutions. It's too big to fix. There's nobody genius enough to come up with a remedy. Am I wrong to assume that ESO is on its last legs? Is it dying before our eyes?
The latest basket of bugs and glitches are different than the ones I've endured for the past 5 years. We all expect a bunch of bugs but we try to ignore them and get whatever enjoyment from the game that we can. But I literally could not play the game today. I struggled through for about an hour this morning and tried again this afternoon. No go. After 5 years of complaining and reading the complaints of thousands of other players, I can't help but conclude that ZOS simply doesn't give a d**n.
Is it worth it to maintain my Gold membership? Is it worth it to invest any more time or money in ESO?
