Why not have difficulty levels for night market too, so we can all enjoy our game ?

The mobs should have been more like 4 person group dungeon difficulty not 12 person trial difficulty. I can sneak and streak around and do some of these. Probably I'll sit most of this one out.

I never ever said to take it away...i said why not make it like overlands where there will be different levels of difficulty. You can go spend all your time killing endless adds/mobs on hard mode no problem but let us that dont want the hardmode type content to not be excluded.

If you enjoy it im happy for you

THIS. I am quite frequently seeing the knee jerk reaction of anger and borderline disgust when a player asks to ADD content. Not change it. Not take it away. Why is it only okay to ask for whatever passes for "more difficult" at ZOS? I really don't have a horse in this particular race, but it appears to be quite the widespread attitude.

Adding difficulty modes to Night Market would make all the instances less populated. Instances being empty is already touted as a problem.

You mean the way the difficulty isn't totally already making instances unpopulated? Instances are empty because people are coming in, getting absolutely annihilated by trash mobs, and leaving because they can't get anything accomplished. People who don't like grouping aren't bothering because it's content they can't do on their own.

Making a toned down version of the NM or heck, just lowering the health on trash mobs and turning down the damage a bit in the current version, would only encourage people to take part. Making a Normal version wouldn't split the population, though, when the difficulty alone is already keeping people away. The people who'd go to a Normal version aren't contributing to the population of the current Zone anyway, so making an Normal version won't be taking them away.

Because otherwise with how it is now every time harder stuff is released. There's activity for several weeks, then eventually people either get bored, annoyed, or obtain what they wanted. At which point the content becomes VERY hard for the average player to get done since so few are doing it. I'm talking things like Dragons and Harrowstorms. The NM as it is will most certainly go the same way if nothing changes.

Why would the people who enjoy challenging content leave for the easier instance? Isn't the challenge the thing that's fun about it right now?

In the easy instance, I'd expect people who have big difficulties getting along right now despite being interested. Or those who have given up completely already because they don't think they have any chance anyway. I've seen 15 or more posts of different people in the past 2 days stating exactly that: They've been killed by a trash mob immediately, so they don't believe they have any chance to get anything done in this zone - and so they've given up on it. I don't think these people will try the current instance again. But an easier one might bring them back.

Yep, this is me.

I want to do the content, because I want the rewards. But, I realized that, since I am subclassing, I can't actually adjust my build yet, not in a way that I could get used to and actually use for this content (I was going to go back to a previous build in which I was slightly stronger).

But, since I have been finding it difficult to find a group, I just haven't had the desire to load up ESO, and instead am playing a new free game.

I will be back, because I want to unlock the functionality for the house, but... I don't predict it is going to be super fun for me. Especially once I get all the quests done and now have to start doing them as dailies to get more favor. (ie, when the quests aren't new anymore)
