I can't give feedback
On something I haven't tried
But I can say why

I haven't tried this
Because it holds no appeal
And no reason to

I play for story
And for being the hero
That saves Tamriel

Not to get beat up
By trash strong as a World Boss
With fast respawn times

Whose idea was this
Who thought this was what we want
Because it is not

Some claim it's easy
And we just need to get gud
That is not the case

A game should be fun
And give goals that can be met
By more than a few

This is the worst thing
I have seen happen in years
I fear for this game

If this is the way
Things will go moving forward
I can see the end

    They said it was too easy....
    Now they write haikus
    Zos then: Vengeance is just a test bro

    Zos now: Do you want Vengeance permanent or permanent...

    Role players are certainly a different breed. They're usually the ones complaining about immersion or mounts being too flashy.

    On topic:
    Just play something else
    Or do many crafting writs
    Night market go brrrr

    EP zone questing,
    pet fragments and wood-chopping
    fill my leisure hours.

    Sweaties can keep the
    Night Market. Leave me to do
    my grinding in peace.

    The house is nice though.
    Small and fun to decorate
    with tome furnishings.

    It's a tradition, or an old charter, or something...

    This is why I play
    Because there are many things
    That I still enjoy

    But the Night Market
    Is a bad indicator
    Of things yet to come

    Turn this trend around
    To what the Elder Scrolls are
    While there is still time

    Dude. It's not an "indicator of things to come". They literally have a road map of things to come this year. 2 solo friendly quest lines and a solo friendly ship combat system. The sky isn't falling because 1 single content drop was group oriented.

    Market is Scary
    But it is oh so much fun
    Spooky creatures rise

    Spooky creatures fall
    A thousand eyes see them all
    Shinies for the call

    New Comrades come out
    A brawl causes a ruckus
    I watch from shadows

    Clever girl earns prize
    Battling a Glimmering Goad
    Puzzling Riddles Solved

    Join the Night Market
    It gives as much as it gets
    Friends, fiends, and freedom

    Welcome to the [snip] Market

    Welcome to the [snip] Market, lights are kinda dim,
    Solo player queued up, but the odds are looking grim.
    "Just find a group!" they say, like it’s easy as can be,
    So I’m staring at the finder like, "Is it finding me?"

    Got no guild, no Discord call, just me and my doubt,
    Queued into chaos like I know what this is about…
    But the system says "you’re ready," so I guess I’m in too deep,
    Now I’m learning boss mechanics while my character can’t even sleep.

    Ohhh welcome to the [snip] Market show,
    Where you go in solo but you’re told to go with bros,
    And if you don’t have friends, well, good luck, here we go…
    Is this fun or is it punishment? Nobody seems to know!
    Ohhh [snip] Market, what’s the plan?
    Queue with strangers, hope they understand…
    But half the time it’s chaos, wipes, and "lol gg bro,"
    And you’re asking yourself why you even came here though.

    They say "content designed for groups," yeah I heard that line,
    But the group finder gave me silence, and I’m running out of time.
    "Just adapt, just learn, just improve," that’s what they say,
    While I’m dodging boss mechanics like my sanity’s away.

    And rewards? Oh yeah, a monster set, how divine,
    After 40 wipes and confusion in a straight-up decline…
    But don’t worry, it’s "fun," at least that’s what they claim,
    While I’m staring at my death screen memorizing the pain.

    Ohhh welcome to the [snip] Market show,
    Where you queue alone but it’s "group content," don’t you know?
    And if you ask for balance, they say "you’re just too slow,"
    So just suffer, learn, repeat… that’s the cycle, here we go!

    "So… you have to stay dead while playing the game… to play the game?"
    Lol.

    Ohhh [snip] Market, shining bright,
    Where frustration meets "it’s working as intended," right?
    But deep down we all know what they tried to do,
    Just wish the fun part made it through.

    The Nightmare market
    I hope to wake up soon yea
    From this sweaty stream
    It's the worm cult's dark dream

    The nightmare market
    Where huge spiders roam
    and us solo sleepers groan

    Wake up, wake up friend
    This is not the end of us
    We shall kick a fuss
    In the light of day
    We are here to stay, not obey
    The deathly rules of the market

    If anyone is unfamiliar with a Haiku, it is a traditional form of Japanese poetry consisting of three unrhymed lines with a 5, 7, 5 syllable structure as outlined below.

    5 syllables here
    Then 7 syllables here
    Then 5 at the end

    Fresh air, new ideas
    ZoS looking to engage us.
    Some work and some don't.

    ZoS is trying and
    Silverbride is unhappy?
    This is my shocked face.

    SilverBride is fine
    I don't do things I don't like
    Like the Night Market

    But there should be more
    For those that aren't into that
    New things for us too
