They are too focused on the numbers and not enough on the creativity to define things. The combat team is so obsessed with fine-tuning things and miscalculations involving "sticky dots" that they fail to capture identity. Using the "Provide us data, not just anecdotal feedback" maybe that's highlighting a core element. The results of these changes and the basic fundamental math disproving the combat teams' plans and ideas do not take a professor to expose. It highlights to me that Gilliam may not be the one who needs to man this position any longer. They treat us with comments that feel so slighted and condescending. Saying you're looking out for them and then handing them a letter showing they're receiving the biggest nerfs in history. (See 8.1.0 for information on Heavy attacks) Heavy attacks being a big thing the casual player base enjoy. They are, deliberately or not, misleading their casual player base with deceptive comments. The game is painful in terms of the treatment of their community. I enjoyed making content creation for ESO, and I'm unsure if I will/want to continue doing so. I'm unsure how much longer I can deal with this before I jump ship. They have done nothing but cause staggering shifts, conflicts of identity, and devastating blows to player morale. Gilliam and the Combat team are completely out of touch with the games community and our wants. The fact as a community we have to plead and get enough drama stirred for news outlets to start covering our dismay towards these changes is enough to highlight the failure of communication within ZOS.

What even is the point of us wasting hundreds of combined hours providing data and testing this information if it's always treated as a "well we're sending this" mentality? These cycles are too short, and the data is vastly ignored. Nerfing Maelstrom 2h AGAIN was unwarranted. Wardens shalks are dreadful and harm a key identity to their rotation. Werewolves might as well not exist at this point. Not to mention the scaling of the "sticky" DoT's sets like the Perfected Master Bow does not work, and many of the core elements that are upsetting the player base were ignored. Incredibly disheartening how poorly this was handled.

Wardens and Sorcs were mostly uncared for the damages caused to them, They still snuck more nerfs into the situation despite that not being needed. It is sad to see how few of the problems were addressed. I know many don't agree but I'm happy with the new jabs animation, but it should do more damage than Flurry as it's part of their "class identity" that is not cared about these days. Im sad to leave, but you pushed me to do it. Watch out for when AoC comes out cause it will steal any remaining players.
#ANOTHER WORD FOR UNNECESSARY OR UNWARRANTED PATCH#
This game is just dying a slow death, and this patch seems to be the deathblow. You cancel the Class Rep program, the only sliver of direct community feedback, when you should invite the community to have more influence. You have another team that nerfs the dmg, and fails to create their stated goal of accessibility You have teams that dont seem to communicate, one team creates content and sets that increase group dmg higher and higher with each patch for years

I dont wanna slander, but its just incompetent. Instead of allowing these valuable wells of knowledge guide you towards a better game you stubbornly go out of your way to implement changes that have the opposite result of your stated goals. You have a whole community that have suggested many better ways to achieve your goal of creating accessibility, based on their vast experience of playing the game for years. This is it, canceled my ESO+ subscription.
