hit V12 recently. im a player who plays the game for PVE content. so i went the road of endgame pre-craglorn. in doing so i arrived in craglorn at v10. not to be overwhelmed with the "endgame" zone, i joined a few "grinding groups" to check it out.
was mostly underwhelmed by this. grinding xp has never made much sense to me... (dare i say, a bit of a WoW way of going about things if all u want is pretty gear)
anyway, i hit v12 soon after... (this was way too easy to do in my opinion and in no way entertaining). but what concerns me is VR.1 players step into craglorn and grind all the way to v12. again this makes no sense to me... cheating yourself out of content to get to an endgame you are in no way prepared for skill-wise by repeatedly killing the same trash in a group of 12.

now i know its early days for craglorn but this is still all we see.
no one is doing the content of the area. of course if u manage to have 12 buddies in game you can get it done.. but im the first of my friends to get to V12. and of course v12s doing dungeons want pugs who "know the boss fights".
no one is qeueing for the other dungeons because a grind is easier.
where was the thinking when it was decided craglorn should be open to anyone under V10? in my opinion this is a fatal error. i can see many players moving on once they hit V12 as there will be nothing to do.

i am quite literally sitting in craglorn bored as hell... scanning chat for anyone who is prepared to play the content, as a first timer without demanding experienced players.
(if i use the group finder for location i get thrown together with 1 maybe 2 VR1s who quickly decide they cannot survive in any dungeons or get any quests done.. so off they go to grind)
you might get an unstructured group of upto 3 people but in most cases its going to fail as every pull in craglorn is a mob pull. so i cant really go and solo some trash to pass the time. ive snuck through a few dungeons but this involves a good deal of corpse hopping to shards and quest objectives. but theres no way in hell the bosses can be killed.

craglorn is a flop. there is no endgame. and if u dont have atleast 3 friends on all the time with you, your going to be doing a lot of standing around. so dont rush to level cap... apparently there is no point.
