Explanation: Since so many complaints on the forum seem related to endgame content and VR grind/difficulty--it would be nice to have a snapshot of how many who frequent the forum are actually at VR levels in this only 6 week old game.

    Only level 28. I played this character since early access, but I can only play when my boyfriend and his friends get online to play so I don't outlevel them. Very frustrating sometimes because I feel stagnant. But I don't feel like making another character.

    Yeah, the categories here are far from uniform in terms of time in each group. From what I've experienced and heard, I'd say uniform categories would be more like
    * 1-25
    * 26-40
    * 41-49
    * VR1-VR4
    * VR5-VR7
    * VR8-VR9
    * VR10
    * VR11
    * VR12

    This is far from perfect, but should be closer to uniform slices of time. Corrections welcome.

    VR1 Templar. It's Daggerfall and got sent to Auridon for VR and I hate AD zones so I dropped it.

    40 Nightblade.

    33 Dragonknight.

    1 Sorc .... I did have a level 15 Sorc on AD but, as I said, I hate the zones so deleted it, started again on Ebonheart.

    I'm hoping they may make levelling in PvP viable by the time i've got those to VR1.

    So, more than half voters so far are in Veteran Content. I wonder how that compares to the "average" player (who doesn't frequent the forum). It could explain why overall, the forums seem so negative about the game, since VR content has issues. I suspect forum reader's are more often fast levelers, whereas after less than 2 months, most players haven't hit VR yet so don't see the problems.

    I've got 16 characters ranging from level 8 (barely out of the starting islands, but all have completed the Prophet's lecture quest) to level

    Yeah, if I didn't have so many alts I could definitely have a way higher level main. Or if I didn't spend so much time crafting gear sets for all of my different alts.

    I like alts, and taking my time! Plus, I craft a lot sooo....

    13 Breton Templar wood/enchant (DC)
    12 Orc Templar (AD)
    8 Bosmer NB (AD)

    I will probably drop the Bosmer NB, though and reroll in a different faction. My hubby likes the AD, but I seriously can't stomach doing ALL those early quests yet again........

    Also hoping by the time I get these fellows to Vet, there will be other options for leveling rather than doing the quest lines of the other factions.

    I'm an altaholic who refuses to attend "Altaholic's Anonymous" So I have several lvl 10's and 2 lvl 20 something's and I enjoy playing all of them equally, it will be several months yet before I'm VR on one of them.

    Please for the love of all that's hard in this world don't make content so easy that I fall asleep at the keyboard. I'm not referring to the recent change in difficulty of VR content being reverted, or being able to group in the main quest delves if you choose to, I just want challenging content that requires me to think way outside of the box and to be able to feel the satisfaction of beating said content..

    There's always the possibility that there is a big difference between the real percentage of VR players and the one shown here. Considering only a few (for a representative poll) have voted so far and/or perhaps the average level of forum posters is higher than that of the actual complete population of players.

    Or just bad luck, I really do not know and wouldn't mind some real numbers from @Zenimax so we can see whether or not the focus of the new content should be mainly focused on new VT content like this patch did, low to mid level content or an equal focus between all levels.

    Many mmo-players never reach endgame in any mmo, not even if they play those games for years simply because of their playstyle. But how many is "many"? Many rush to max level or stick to one character and therefor by now have are also VT players, but again... how many is "many" in this regard?

    Will the actual numbers, those only seen by Zenimax atm, paint a completely different picture than any forum poll will ever do?

    Until they come out with those real numbers and percentages we will never know.

    When I enter Cyrodiil, I see VT players everywhere and I am cannon fodder for them (still having fun though, apart from the unplayable lag yesterday which I hope is gone by the time I enter that zone again today). However when I make a new alt (yup I am an alt-aholic and not ashamed of it either) then I see the starting zones, including the starter islands and tutorial Coldharbour packed with new characters. Most of them not bots either!. :sweat_smile:

    Edit: forgot to say the level of my characters so... 33 NB healer, 28 DK dps/tank and a variation of alts between 1-10 that seem to be in constant delete and restart phases.

    I play a lot, but still searching for the roses to smell and since there are beautiful flowers all around, but seemingly no roses, it may take me a while to ever reach VT1, let alone max rank. :cold_sweat:

    This I concur. Starting zones are really really packed. Though I can hardly differentiate what's a bot and what's not anymore.

    Checked the botting videos on youtube and they seem to be functioning as a normal player would.
