Why do you do Veteran difficulty content (MSA, 4 man dungeons, trials)

Guppet

Just wanting to find out why people do Veteran difficulty content. I'm often questioning myself of why do I want to do it, why not just stick to normal level. So wanted to see why other do it.

trials for group stuff and its epic
4 man pledges for the helms and shoulders and raising undaunted for my alts
did msa once,not even close to fun.

I do it for fun at this point.

Speaking of fun, today's silver is Vaults Of Madness. Shame it doesn't have veteran version.

Smileybones

For the shinies and also it's more fun that normal modes.

For the difficulty

For the challenging runs with guildies really BUT there is a level at which it stops being a fun challenge and just starts being a pointless time wasting frustration like running vMSA with some builds...

Dubhliam

For the loot

I voted loot, because that used to be my drive: getting gold keys and a chance for a helm.

But the recent introduction of the Cyrodill vendor has drastically reduced the amount of time I spend in dungeons.
Gold keys have no value to me anymore, and I don't have the will to farm a specific dungeon for a helm anymore either.
I bought all the Helmets I need.

The only dungeons I still run on a semi-regular basis are vWGT and vICP.
And those runs are loot driven (non Monster sets), although I like the challenge.

The level of challenge is great. Don't care about the loot, though.

Hard to answer your poll as you ask for multiple different things.

vMSA I do purely for loot. In my opinion it's the least enjoyable content in this game, so I enter it thinking "I hate it, I hate it, I hate it" and then in the end when I get a robust winterborn ring I know I just wasted time and potions.

vMoL I do for the challenge

nMoL and SO I sometimes do for the challenge (with 5 or 6 man groups)

AA, Hel'Ra and DSA I currently only do for loot when it's weekly (miss the times when dsa was actually challenging and fun content :'( )

4 man dungeons I currently mostly do it to either level undaunted on a new char or because I'm on ts with nice people and want to play together with them. But I'd love it if they would pose some kind of challenge again.

InfaM

For the loot

First time to discover and for the fun , then for the loot and only for the loot , once I get what I want I'll probably do it again for the fun with better gear/optimization to improve my runs and do better score/time.

As I'm still stuck on the loot part , I'm actually doing it strictly for the loot.

ArchMikem

I dont

I'll do it if I'm interested, (which is very rarely), or I'll do it if my Guildmates suggest a run.

Otherwise it's nothing but Questing for me.

I don't know

My mum makes me

Kendaric

I dont

I only quest and RP. Not interested in the endgame stuff at all.

for the difficult for the first month, then when it gets nerfed to dust then for lack of other things to play with friends.

Guppet

I don't know

Nice to see varied answers, seems it's not only me that merely endures it. Guess I'd probably be happier just dropping vet difficulty, there's only so many times you can get one shot by random mechanics and still accept it (cough round 7).

Did the silver daily today, never done the vaults of madness before, was great fun. Even had a level 19 dps, that only did single target dps. But it's much easier to accept that on normal, as people may be new.

For the difficulty

No reason to do trials other than its a break from grinding Cyrodiil all the time. The loot was good a year ago but since it never scaled up, there's no point really.

Still working on the vMSA. Been a dedicated healer for 2 years so it's a bit of a shift.

For the difficulty

It depends on the content.

It's a combination of "for fun", "for the challenge", "for the loot", and "because my friends do it".

vMA: First clear was for the challenge and not wanting to feel left out being surrounded be people who have cleared it. The next few clears were to make sure that the first clear wasn't a fluke. After that, I do it only for the loot and would not keep running it otherwise.

vMoL: Attempting to do it mostly for the challenge and because I really like the people who I run with. I don't care about the loot since it doesn't really excite me.

vICP/vWGT: First clears were for the challenge. The next few hundred clears were for loot. I now have 3 sets of SPC (one of them in perfect divines) and I've given up on bending over for RNGesus for Scathing, so these days I run them only when friends ask me to.

Other 4-man content: Mostly for the loot (helm farming or pledge key farming). But now and then I will solo or 2-man them for fun/challenge.

Achievements. Content is boring, I want to play with my friends, weapons aren't all that great and RNG sucks.

magnusthorek

I dont

I used to, almost every morning. But Maw of Lorkhaj started dropping white items on EVERY... SINGLE... CHEST and this, plus the fact I've got myself messed with something else in RL, made me stop.

I used to like to run for achievements. I still need speedrun in Sanctum Ophidia and the veteran stuff of Maw of Lorkhaj but in my timezone people just don't do them, so screw it

Vaoh

For the loot

I run these types of content because they are usually a lot of fun, but mostly for the loot/experience with friends.

I run Vet dungeons solo when I am looking for difficulty

lonewolf26

For fun. Challenge is a close second. I prefer something cooperative over solo content like VMA though.

For Achievements.

Jaronking

Because my friends do it

Because my friends like doing the content.Personally I hate it and would rather be in PVP but they like PVE.

For fun and achievements.

Farorin

For the loot

For the loot, but also just to see if I can.

Lumi

I do trials with my guild for fun and accomplishment and 4-man dungeons for achievements and experience (daily random). I would do WGT for loot but I think it too grindy to get the pieces you want...

SlayerSyrena

For fun.

love the group content and have so many build ideas always needing new helms and shoulders and trials are just epic when i can

At one stage the dungeon devs said they wanted to add a veteran version of all of the regular zone dungeons but it has been awhile since Vet City of Ash and Arx would be next but maybe one day...
