I am going to be honest here. I played the game for hours and I enjoyed the game a lot but right now, the current situation of ESO is very bad and I have decided to leave this game for an extended periods of time.

-First of all, ZOS keeps doing very questionable changes that usually ends up badly. Just look at the Vampire skill line reVamp.(ha) Before Greymoor vampires used to benefit from many great passives with a drawback of fire and fighter's guild skill weakness (notably, dawnbreaker) and it still had many people use it. These days? Vampires are really bad and unfit for serious content such as trials. (will be downright awful when the Blood for Blood gets nerfed to ground next patch)

If you want a more notable change, just look at instability of set changes. A set that you farmed for so long can and will get nerfed to ground later on. (Tooth of Lokkestiiz for example) This change also causes end-game meta to be thrown side to side because of the inconsistency.

Also I am really salty about Rapid Manevour place changing next patch. It was completely unnecessary and will only cause suffering to those with alt characters that are magicka and PvE based.

-Second, you've all heard of this one before, I am sure of it: PvP.
I am going to keep this short. You can't really except to do anything if your skills have a cast time of 2-5 seconds because of the server lag. Also in the next patch, they are also nerfing multiple class spammables just because they have AOE in them for some reason. Lag is horrible and makes PVP in Cyrodiil unplayable 0/10 not recommended.

-Third, this will be a bit subjective but, achievements do not matter. Achievements only give some useless points and some of them give dyes and even fewer give titles. Yes I am aware of dungeon and trial related ones giving skins and all but what about the others that require greater patience and time spent? Please, just look at Dominion/Pact/Covenant/Tamriel Hero titles that require you to complete hundreds of ♥♥♥♥♥♥ base game quests. all they give is a fancy title and a dye that you would probably not use. Also, I have great respect to those that achieved Master Angler title. That's patience right there.

Conclusion / TL;DR:
- It is only really worth it if you are after the storyline quests, other than that I do not recommend this game unless ZOS stops being so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ inconsistent and upgrades their servers instead of nerfing skills to reduce their ♥♥♥♥♥♥ server's stress.
