I'm worried for this game. I know a lot of friends and guildmates that have already left the game.... mostly because of VR.
1. You can't PVP and level effectively through VR.
2. PVE is the only way to go and it is a very long grind, I have been listening to quests and I'm at 6 days played and only VR2.
3. The VR system seems to have been thrown in last minute and only to please those that wanted to venture to other factions on one character.
4. Faction pride is lost, what is the point of my Ebonheart Character? I don't every hear anything about it through the VR. I was all prideful during my faction but after that I'm no longer an ebonheart member.
5. The mystery that surrounded other factions like it did in DAOC is lost.
6. Did I mention that VR ranks are thrown in quickly to add more PVE content? I mean we are wearing the same armor through all 10 ranks which blows. They couldn't even change the aesthetics of it.
You don't need to make it easier but give us options. I get no XP from exploring in VR the kills give ***. I end up skipping mobs, not exploring anything. just do caves, dolmens, and main quest. Everything else is terrible and the PVP gives terrible XP aswell. People can play how they want but can't level how they want. It is very frustrating and ZOS needs to find a balance. Don't make it easy just give the players more options, right now you only really get 1 choice and that is to quest through other factions lands even if you don't want to and you just want to stick with your faction.
