ESO is a better ES game for me too.

For me the issue was that the game was not built the way it should have for what they were intending of it, which has led to them stumbling plenty of times as they look for solutions and workarounds to improving the game. The combat has little hiccups for example as a result of it being driven by tab-target and them culling some of the most immediate mechanics to deliver an experience that acts like soft lock. They have refined it and worked on their network to minimize it, but it's a vestige in the engine that short of replacing outright they are not going to be rid of all the little errors.
It's not that alone, as there were a multitude of design mistakes and backtracks with the game that has led to such errors and issues being riddled about.
However, they also didn't abandon the game just because they made mistakes. Zenimax decided to do whatever they could with it and continue to progress the game and add new features where they can, work on the code where they can, and improve what they could. While I don't like how they originally handled the game, I do feel they have resolved to do better and they have shown that they are, regardless of if I like or dislike the title.
So if they turn around and announce another game I will look at that game based upon it's own merits and the effort/quality they have chosen to put into it's design. They have shown they can learn from their mistakes, so might as well see if that progress carries over to new games.

Coupled with the fact they declined my refund request (while granting them to others selectively) I asked to be removed from all future offers or communication.
Definitely on the do not buy list. (it's a long list)

Enjoy and know the truth always comes to light!
I've been playing them since Arena first released. Back in those early days in addition to mainstreaming first person action combat in an RPG, something that was very rare back then, they were second to none about giving NPCs a semblance of individual lives making the game feel more alive than those of the competitors at the time.
But they've been simplifying and resting on their laurels a bit too much and others (Witcher comes to mind) have been beating them at their own game for a while now.
They need to bring back the complexity, give their NPCs an AI makeover and for Pete's sake, update the graphics engine so it looks great out of the box, un-modded once again.
And oh yeah... the spell crafting. Why the hell did they ever get rid of that? It was one of the best and most unique features of the game. Because it could be abused? As if modders don't make invincibility mods the moment the game releases lol.

Please do not respond to me, even if I ask you a question, its rhetorical.

With that said, I don't see how ESO can be considered a "catastrophe". I would buy another Zenimax product if I feel like they've learned from mistakes (which they probably won't).
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

yeah but you are modding it. You would have to compare it to unmodded Skyrim.
