Cyrodiil VR NPC's

I am sorry, I don't like to complain, but I have to say I am very irritated by this new update! Don't get me wrong, I love this game and have been here since early access. I am a casual gamer and not the power leveler, so I just reached VR 1 the other day. I WAS looking forward to actually questing in Cyrodiil as the NPC's WERE at my level! Now you have destroyed that!
Everything is VR5 now which is ridiculous! I'm sorry but you just released Craglorn as the advanced VR rank area, why in the world did you feel the need to deny us lower level's the ability to quest in Cyrodiil now! I had been looking forward to exploring and doing PvP in Cyrodiil but thanks to this new patch I am now going to have to wait even longer, and that is if you don't decide to level them up again come next patch!
Absolutely stupid decision on Zeni's behalf!!! Heaven forbid you give us causal gamers, who WANT to experience the story and questing that Elder Scrolls is known and renowned for, the opportunity to play and enjoy the rich gaming atmosphere, when you can throw everything your designers can think of at the power players who blow through every quest and story in mere days!
Please for the future, do not just cater to these players! Yes it is important to keep them happy as well, but isn't that what Craglorn was for? Why kill other parts of the game to appease those few who power level! Shame on you Zeni!

    They screwed up somewhere else too which could make it possible for one person to defend a keep against a 50 man zerg..

    I'm not entirely sure... but I'm not sure the VR 5 vs VR 1/2 will actually be too much of an issue.

    The questing dailies in the five Cyrodiil towns should still be very much completable, and though it won't be as easy as it was before, it will be a very nice change to people who didn't like having to grind outside of Cyrodiil.

    I'm only VR 2 myself, and will check on this when I get home later.

    If PvP is the issue in Cyrodiil, since MOST PvP'ers tend to be higher VR levels, then increase the NPC guards around the forts and temples, etc. But why kill off Cyrodiil dungeons, quests, etc. for those of us who would like to dungeon delve though.
    Don't get me wrong though, I enjoy a good challenge in a game, but when I have to now only hope I pull 1 enemy at a time with my tank build to compete and not get butchered by a 3-4 VR5's at once is really annoying. Especially in an area where I can only Re-Shrine at a far corner and then run half across the world to get back to where I died! :/

    I agree with the OP, this change is stupid and I have not ever heard or read anywhere that people complained that Cyrodiil PvE content was too easy for higher VR players.

    If you ask me, it is just a cheap attempt of Zenimax to push us even more into the VR grind, as if the extreme disparity in character power and survivability between VR1 and VR10 wasn't jarringly enough...
