.... a detailed reason not to play the game
Isarii is/was a very active member of Tamriel Foundry and longtime beta tester. Last month, he wrote a detailed review of the game, and even more recently, he submitted a "farewell" post on his blog.
While he may come of as slightly bitter in some areas, he has reasonable and valid opinions about the game. It also shows the tricky position Zenimax is in, because it's so incredibly difficult to please both the TES and MMORPG crowd.
Warning: this shit is long, like it took me a large portion of the morning to go over. Its a really solid writeup, and I found myself agreeing with most of it.

However, this points out why I won't be playing TESO in much better terms and with far more experience than I have in playing the game so far:

Also, the Author just posted this on the forum that I found this, he clarifies some points:
I do think that a large portion of gamers will enjoy this mmo.
I can see where folks will go nuts over it, I just won't be one of them, Single player Skyrim, heavily modded, is where I will be
(Or the Remakes of Oblivion and Morrowind, using Skyrims engine WOOOOOO)
