NOTE:
I only wrote bad things about the game, game is not bad, if it were I wouldn't spend 8.5K hour of my life in it
I wrote this to people see bad sides of game they wanna buy
(I have around 2K hour playtime in Launcher, so around 8.5K playtime over all)
please notice that I am a Hard-Core and PVE player who plays a lot and update my builds and my game-play each patch to be most effective and Top Tire and this is from this kind of player point of view

I just love this game, I spend 6 year of my life in this game and i'm not sad about it
have everything u want, literally, lots of Story quests, Dungeons and Trials, Arenas, PVP content and Role-playing content like Housing and ETC...
But as same as every other game it have bad things

Story quests:
There is lot of them, atmosphere and story side both are beautiful, BUT if you are a End-game/Hard-core player, they boring and easy as hell, quests design to be doable for literally everyone! so enemies and mechanics in fights are weak as hell...

Dungeons (4-man content):
There is lot of Dungeons and Trials and its getting more each year
They have 3 difficulty, Normal, Veteran and Veteran-HardMode
Normal Difficulty is a bad joke, a 10 year old kid can finish them
Veteran Difficulty is normal, and doable for casual/new player
Veteran-HardMode is most the time Good, but usually for 4-6 week after release, after that usually they get significantly nerf! so everyone be able to get achievements, which is understandable, but 5 week to enjoy a content is not a lot TBH, especially when first week the content is full of bugs and ETC...
I said "Veteran-HardMode is most the time Good", cause there been Dungeons that even in release dates they were so easy that we got Trifecta achievement (NoDeath-HardMode-FastRun in one run) in second try, some teams in first try...

Trials (12-man content):
Same as Dungeons they have 3 difficulty, Normal, Veteran and Veteran-HardMode BUT they have Score!
Exactly same things I told about Dungeons Difficulties are about Trials too
But Trials with Scores and Leaderboards make things fun cause no matter they nerf or what, u still have motivation to play them for score pushing. but there isn't a lot of active score push teams in the game cause TESO don't have any kind of reward for people in Leaderboard so there isn't a hard competition, cause only Hard-Core/Addicted player like me spend their time for Score pushing for no reward and gain...

Arenas (1/4-man content):
They only have Normal and Veteran Difficulty and they have Score/Leaderboard like Trials, same as Trials and Dungeons Normal Difficulty is doable for 10 years old kid so I only talk about Veteran
In Arenas there is Sigils that they help u, using them decrease your score and not using them have achievement
Surprisingly, most of them have good balance, veteran is quite fun no matter you are Casual or Hard-Core player
But there is a problem, there isn't a lot of them, like only 2 solo Arena and 2 four man Arena overall only 4 Arenas! which 2 of them are around 6 years old so they are so nerfed and were made for old setups and DPS which make them no challenging at all and unpleasant to play, other 2 new one are getting old too
One man Arenas are made for Only DD Characters/Players, u cant do them with Tank/Healer Character, and doable for PVP Characters/Players
I said "most of them have good balance" cause there is one Arena that is a shame, most resent one man Arena, Vateshran Hollow... is a joke... even Veteran Difficulty is easy as hell, me, a Tank player, I did Trifecta achievement (NoDeath-FastRun-NoSigil in one run) in 4-5 try, most of my DD player friends did in second try...

PVP and Role-playing:
I don't do them so i cant comment about them, as i know they have good things and bad things too like every other games and contents
I know Role-playing in TESO is fun cause never seen a sad Role-player. Housing IS fun cause even me liked to do some time to time

TY for reading! I'll try to update my Comment time to time be good for things in game
