An Amazing Game Isn't a Game-Its an Experence

I know I'm late to the party- but let me elaborate on ESO

Pretty much I think ESO is and will be a good MMO, but it isn't Elder Scrolls enough for me. (I've played WOW and the Beta tests btw, so this isn't from an unreliable source)
Why?
Ok, Ok let me tell you.


1. Looting.

So, in previous TES games, once you killed someone, you got ALL of their loot, right? RIGHT? But not in ESO! Nope! Instead you get worthless junk and some coins. I can understand that they don't want everybody to be uber-powerful on the launch day- but still, If everybody is powerful, then it levels out the playing field.




2. Sneaking

HA HA HA! D'you know whats funny! I wanted to be a stealth based character (In beta testing) Quickly I learned that the sneaking in this isn't normal. Well, close, but it still annoys me. Why? Sneaking uses stamina- Kinda fast too- which means that you can't really sneak through a dangerous dungeon- which sucks, because that was my favorite part of Skyrim.
But again- I understand the MMO aspect, as well... It would be kinda hard to do in a MMO, but still D:

3. Quests
 Why should I not like the quests? Oh yes. THEY FEEL EXTREMELY SHALLOW. Instead of, I don't know, learning about the characters, slowly gaining their trust..., We get... Shallow Quests ;_;





4. Cost
SORRY SORRY OK SORRY
But the cost is.... A LOT. Come on Bethsenda! You know very well that WOW is going to the dumps because of its pay-plan! You have to BUY the game, then spend $15 per month to play it? The GW2 Model is working for them- why can't Zenimax and friends understand that IT WORKS!
