How did the community become this toxic?

-snip-

I apologize if I took it the wrong way...or something, though I'm sure I read it right lol Regardless, I left WoW for this game at launch so I know how that community evolved (or devolved, really) in the years I played it. There are players like that here but you will find them anywhere. I don't see there being any real difference though when the "next big thing" comes out in a few months. People who end up liking TESO or Wildstar will leave and stay gone most likely, and those who don't will go back to their other game(s), business as usual. That will either prove beneficial for our community or do nothing.

Oh ye, true

I remember when the game first launched and I started playing, almost everybody was helpful and it was a lot of fun to group up and do random stuff. So what happened?

PF is full of nothing but people trying to sell carries for HM's / EX Primals, even going as far as joining other peoples attempts to get a legit group together and causing them to fail.

Right now I see people trying to sell "Crafting Powerleveling service for 750k" ... What the hell is that?

You can't put something on the market board without it being instantly undercut for 50% of the average price, so making any kind of profit from anything you do is near impossible.

Seriously, what happened?

Yoshi's "vision" happened. Please look forward to it.

We all know that Britney Spears is responsible for the outbreak of "Toxic."

Feels just like every MMO out there. Didn't really notice any difference.

i have to be honest, i never noticed the toxicity in the MMO communities until the decline of wow's subscriptions. and ive done alot ofMMO'ing over the last 15 years.

I know this, once elder scrolls online comes out you are gonna see a big dip in players on this game.

Here is one big reason that's killing it for me, FFXI was all about being geared, this game is becoming the same thing, You are after better gear that is your focus and less story line and quest to progress.

Then you have Titan Hard mode you cant win because people leave and when one person leaves they all leave, you have the AH in shambles, people are getting abusive with those kicks I have seen people kick someone for absolutely nothing. game is going down hill quick plus content is rinse - rewash fights and dungeons get repetitive.

I love to burst your bubble like this but, ESO is utter trash. That game is boring and slow and not that impressive.

Skyrim is slow, I love it.
FFXI was slow, I loved it.
Fallout is slow. . . Oblivion, Secret of Mana, Dragon Warriors/Quests, Suikoden, Zeldas... all slow; all loved -- and there are many more "slow" games.

And if you want to talk boring... ffxiv is boring. There isn't even individuality between one person's dragoon and another person's dragoon. Everyone is the same. I like ffxiv, but sometimes I picture the SE team viewing us all as ants with money.... the irony is that we're just like ants in the game; each the same as the next.

ESO is great if you like TES, it isnt meant to be a button smasher like this game turned into. button masher battle systems are garbage. The battle system is much better, you actually have to aim properly

Yeah but I meant slow AND bad. The mages are ridiculously boring.

1. Summon pet.

2. Have pet kill while you read a book.

3. ???

4. Profit.

I played this game in the Beta because I figured "sure, why not?" It's not as great as everyone seems to think it is and their forums will be complaint riddled just like this one.
