I feel like nightblade was just rushed during development just to make extra class. Imo,they didnt really put on much thought about skills, only a handful are actually useful. You might think why dont I re-roll to another character? I did, i have vr1 Templar and lv 30 dragon-knight. But for some reason I keep going back to my NB, why ? , it is because i put on most work on this character, and its my first really. cant ditch that XD.
As a returning player, I totally agree with the OP.
I used to enjoy Cyrodiil, but it's completely out of my reach now.
A new vet<14 campaign would make a lot of sense.
As is, I cannot recommend any friends to come back, because the PVP is no fun for anyone not decked out.
Hopefully the advent of smaller objectives will help.
