I Remember having a SUPER positive review about this game back when i had about 800 hours.
Alas . . . those days are long gone.

Seeing a game i loved playing for years degrade instead of improve was sad.
I was about 4000 hours in that i realized soon i'll be leaving it , the only thing that kept me playing it for a couple of hundred more hours were my friends and the "hope" of improvements which it never happened.

Seeing ZoS ruining the game just like what they did with Fallout 76 over the years was just painful.

For the first 2 years i was just doing PvE stuff probably around 1500 hours , at the beginning it was flawless then weird loading screens started , dungeon queue bugs started and ZoS allowed toxic players to roam around.

Then i was like , you know what ? lets try PvP maybe it's better and that is where i spent most of my hours.
The first 1000 hours was just F***ing awesome i wholeheartedly enjoyed it , became emperor a couple of times and was always on top 5 for like 7 months straight and i'm not self-praising just trying to say that i played A LOT , whoever plays this game knows becoming emperor multiple times on a campaign that is not dead is no easy/fast task.

To be honest i didn't have much problems with PvP until Necromancer class was announced besides some minor stuff that i tolerated , there were some things people complained about(like loading screens and desyncs a few crashes here and there) and they were right but i tried ignoring them and just preferred enjoying the game instead even though i was experiencing them myself.

After a while , seeing past through their empty improvement promises i started to lose more hope day after day.
It was at a point where they would say we're improving the performances and servers with this patch and once they release it your game would get even worse lol.
There was this time i remember they said we're working on fixing the crashes with this patch , then the patch dropped and everyone was crashing every 30 minutes and it took them almost 2 weeks to fix that and by fixing i mean it just went back to how it was before.

I almost forgot to add , playing during prime times both PvE and PvP was just pure frustration , you'd be in a trial and your skills wouldn't just simply go off immediately , had to press the button like 10 times for it to register same thing with PvP , you'd be fighting a group of enemies and it's not the battle of skills and numbers there , it's a battle of who got better luck/ping/performance in this lagfest.

They changed the way how some sets/skills/classes work a couple of times mainly to balance it for PvE players , i mean it's good to nerf or change something that is not performing correctly or it's super OP but sometimes it would be some unnecessary changes which it would force you to change the way you're used to play and take off some skills/sets and create stupid metas for both PvP and PvE , and when there is a meta in a game it means you can't be creative with your playstyle anymore , you gotta follow a certain way which i extremely detest and if you don't follow it that way you can't simply perform good enough.

I think that's it for now , might add more in future and if you're one of those Fan bois defending the game with all your power know that i was like that back in the beginning so you will get here eventually and realized you wasted so much time and money on this game. . .
