an mmo enthusiast should have an eso beta account like myself, and can admit how shitty the game was for quite some time. At this point tho it's a meme in this thread
fohedgelord -- I don't understand why anyone plays this game>> ??
anyone else that plays -- it's actually fun, it's not warcraft, its not asian, and it works
fohedgelord -- yeah but when the game launched it sucked for awhile
everyone else -- oh
"It's not warcraft, or asian"?
First, If you like the WoW franchise but you don't play WoW because "It is WoW" and that somehow makes it unavailable to you, you are juvenile as fuck. Likewise if you are playing other MMOs because they AREN'T WoW for the very same reasons.
Second, this game basically took WoW and GW2, had them make a kid then abort it and then called it ESO. They have a ton of good ideas surrounded by bad mechanics and great lore. It is the quintessential "Theme park MMO" in every sense of the phrase.
Like what you like but at least have the emotional maturity to understand that your game is exactly like the games you dislike...but worse.
"It doesn't have an auction house!" -- It does, but they castrated it and hid most functionality behind joining a shitty guild you want nothing from but a "Auction Vendor" of sorts. Cool uselessness.
"It doesn't have fuckin group finder, that shit ruins games!" -- It does, last time I played there were bugs left from beta that still hampered the BASE FUNCTION of the dungeon finder too..
"It has engaging combat and meaningful PVP!" -- The system is straight homework ripped from GW2 but they didn't add siege vehicles, the last few updates to combat and classes made combat more stale, I didn't even think that was possible.
"They added raids!" -- They added WoW challenge mode.
