People have talked the combat and quest difficulty to death, for better or worse. I’d like to focus on how cool the design of the market itself is.
Fargrave has always been a unique area with a lot of potential, and it’s always been a shame that there’s no reason to go back there after finishing the quests. Now the NM brings a lot of that flavor with a lot of interest. It’s filled with weird little guys doing weird little things. Just going around the different faction bases and talking to the NPCs is a good time.
I’m having fun with the Night Market in general, and I appreciate the effort that went into putting it together.
I even find groups at 6 am in the morning...and in the afternoon there are so many groups in the finder and they close so rapidly that its hard to orient yourself...so i don't know if its server or platform dependent...
When I was playing earlier (NA ET afternoon), the group finder listings were filling up quicker than I could click on them. Sometimes it's slow during off-peak times, it happens.
these posts are so funny lol every time i check groupfinder there's over a dozen different groups running around. Or I make one and it fills up in seconds.
I don't usually do quests in ESO because it bores me (too much "medicore" writing and a generally un-immersive experience). I don't feel the need to post 999 tantrums on the ESO forums about it. I don't feel the need to call out hardcore questers (because everyone has the right to watch "medicore" TV shows or read sloppy novels).
Note: I'm not a huge fan of NM – I don't think it's the pinnacle of group content design. It seems tedious at first, but once you figure it out, you can quickly get what you need. It's also in a weird spot in terms of difficulty: it's both too easy and too hard. The difficulty is somewhere on par with older DLC dungeons (obviously not HM - it's so funny when some people compare it to vet trials or HMs XD). The problem is that it's too easy for people doing group content (you can steamroll through it with pug blindly, bc most of the mechanics are re-used + are not very punishing). And it's too hard for die-hard questers who simply don't understand how weak they are at the game (the problem is not that you are not in the elite 1%, but that you are in the bottom 10-20% of players without realizing it).
In short: less tantrums – more git guding, or just don't play the content that's not for you.
Okay, so I also went to the crown store in-game, clicked on the Join ESO Plus option there which wasn't greyed out, and bought 1 month of ESO plus through that method. It activated ESO plus on my account, gave me the 13 months worth of crowns and tome tokens (12 month sub + 1 new month), and gave me access to all ESO plus benefits. I am glad that this has resolved the issue for now, though I do still expect compensation for the 17 days that I received nothing and was left waiting endlessly.

Nooo honestly, this ring is unhealthy in PvE too. Normally I don't like nerfing things, but this one i make an exception for. It needs to be exterminated.
