Warframe VS Elder scrolls Online
I am into these 2 games, but not sure where to focus my very little time for gaming.
Would like to play a game with an active pop and healthy future.
Although WF has more active players on steam, witch one do u guys think is the most populated?

Warframe probably has the more active pop and a healthier future, though since you said you have little time for gaming, I wouldn't think the games future is an issue, as both will certainly be around for years to come.
With that in mind:

Go for Warframe if you prefer third person shooters or hack and slash's.

Go for ESO if you prefer RPGs.

I've played Warframe before, it lost interest to me since it's just the same thing to do in every mission. Downside is that for every beginners out there will be have a hard time doing those hard/moderate side quest and game events if you don't have overpowered tools to begin with unlike everybody else they've already been advanced. Crafting weapons will take time and feels like demanding that you need a real currency to buy those.

For Elder Scrolls Online, never played it but I did have experience with Skyrim. It has more freedom there.

I cannot stress this enough. Warframe is free, and if a game like warframe is free, the devs are making money off it some other way. On like the fourth main mission its just "Do This!" like a tutorial and then you realize that this mission is either "Pay 5 bucks to get it over with and get the items required" or "play through literally half of the missions before getting the items"

It's a Pay-to-Win tactic. Effort in this game will still not suffice that's why I didn't enjoy all my hours into it. So sad my clan kicked for a long time because of my hiatus. It was good while it lasted.

Edit: Made a new account from my PS4 and I thought I could migrate my old one here in steam but no it's impossible. Went back to level 0 and invited my friend over, we felt bored about it for a worthwhile.

If I was to pick game, considering playing Warframe from the scratch, I would pick TESO.
Warframe is so pressured on grind, and even after getting some basic better stuff, it's still grinding

Warframe isnt worth it if you ha e the money to buy other games. It's a good game but it's not worth the grind and the idea of grinding in this game.

I disagree. I haven't put a penny into Warframe and have some of the best gear. Effort made me over 1k plat, if you know where to get mods that sell well, let alone if you get a riven mod work over 2k plat.

Wait on weapons is not long either, about 24 hours. Mats are usualy easy to get as well.

I have all but 3 or 4 frams too, all farmed. Only frames I bought were discontinued Primes of my favorite ones and that was from plat earned in-game.

I have and play both.

ESO is slower, but a far larger world with a lot to do. As an open world, you can explore all over.

Warframe is good for quick bursts of play. I'll play if I have little time and want to do something quick solo or with friends, but it is also fine during long stretches.

By playing both, you are less likely to get burnt out on one as well.

ESO has far more lore and story to it though. A lot has already been established and stuff comes out in nice sized chunks.

Warframe is a bit slow to grow, so you may find things lacking after you have done most of it, since all there is to do is farm until future content is released.

In the end, it is up to you, but I hope by thoughts and opinions on these games help. :steamhappy:

Well I didn't know how long when you started playing this before but in my point of view it's kinda hard for new beginners to be on those missions with limited weapons. Selling mods and earning platinum/s may have a point.

I have a sudden urge to list you in here.

Even the worst weapon is viable for awhile. It is mainly the mods that keep them going and the level you get the mods to.

I used the same Braton MK1 for awhile. New weapons are easy to come by and there are even some available for credits in the store.

Most (If not all) blueprints are purchasable in credits as well, with most having materials that you simply get through playing the game, no grinding. Prime parts are the only ones that required any grinding due to relics and they are more of an end game type thing.

I played around the time it originaly came out ten stopped for a few years and went back. Started playing again around last Thanks Giving.

I actualy see ESO as more of a pay to win, since you can't buy anything in their store through in-game currency or get their premium currency in-game.
