So, I see alot of ''negative'' threads on this forum.

But I will ask you, the amount of time you spend to get eso caps every week, which is 3510 eso for full left side, then you need 1875 for full right side, not including the weapon. 5385 eso! And you have 450 eso per week, so 11-12 weeks if my calcuations are right. More if you want to include weapon. So that's almost as long you need before a new patch is due, then you have catch up which is letting you upgrade gear and has weekly drop again, so 10 weeks for full upgrade, which is almost much as doing weekly cap for both full right and left side for eso gear, means another patch is very close to happening again. Do you consider this as reward? I mean farming takes more than the actuall use of it? Or you just ignore the fact you get better gear but don't really care about it, since you do the dungeons for fun? Which leaves me to next question, would you do anything in this game and not get any reward for it? Like you could easily do a dungeon or primals without any reward, lets say the weekly cap of tomestones?

What you are describing here is called "the treadmill". It never ends. In order for there to be any real "use" for gear there would have to be content that requires good gear and is either repeated for vanity reasons (glamour, mounts, minions, titles), repeated for randomness (pvp), repeated for fun or not beaten at all due to difficulty (pointless, maybe fun to some). Doing content for the gear is just taking another step on the treadmill. Honestly I got tired of the treadmill a long time ago and stepped out. Now I'm choosing to use my gear to obtain vanity and to experience content for fun. The eso capping? That's for glamour, dude. Full SMN and AST glamours, and MNK in progress. After that probably PLD or DRK. I haven't bought any right side gear with eso.

As for your second question, yes. I recently did the Crystal Tower series in good company and it was superb. Really recommend it to everyone. I also help my bf with maps without always joining his party for loot. And I level jobs to 60 without any intention to play them at cap, because the quests are fun.

In my opinion, this game returns enjoyment proportionally to how much effort a person is willing to invest in it. And by effort I don't just mean time but also attitude and social investment. I think the people who have nothing to do are quite often not looking very hard and the people who get tired of the same content are usually not involved in very many aspects of the game.
