Because that's all I want while I'm roaming around, is thousands of whiny kids. Immersion be dammed. There's already plenty of MMORPG powerhouses out there, it's a tough market and I think Bethesda is gearing up to lose a lot of money.
Yeah I'm at a loss for why they're doing this as well. Hit the nail on the head, Bethesda is known for its single player. Now they're trying to change the formula of their success, and frankly I can only see it ruining the entire universe they've created. I was recently paying for a subscription to the old republic, the only reason I played it was because I loved the previous games. But after a couple months I realised, I don't love the franchise any more because they've totally got rid of what made the previous games great. The fact that it was single player. The same seems to look like it'll happen with ESO.
I'd just like to say I actually still like the old republic. But I think if you ask any existing fan of the series what they would of wanted, an MMO or a sequel, the answer for 99% of people would be a sequel. The same goes for the elder scrolls IMO. I don't understand why they've chosen to go down this direction, I certainly didn't see anyone calling for it.
