Can anyone explain how exp boost obtainable thru Crowns AND ingame gold is P2W...

Bassically only exp boost that non paying players cant obtain is ESO+...which is 10%...which in turn is 100k xp for every 1kk xp u gain which instead of 10days playtime u need 11days.....so little i dont even care...

Am i delusionall and dont see the bigger picture???

A thread currently focussing on the notion you are asking about.

Well the XP boosts from potions and from the basic 10% stack, so it may be a little more than 10%.

But still, with the upcoming changes to VR, the CP system and its diminishing returns, this is nothing to make a fuss about, and MILES away from p2w. What has been the balance, will remain the balance, and it is similar between most MMO's: more time invested results in a stronger player. Duh. A few percentage bonuses don't change that, even in a system that has no hard cap (CP, 3600 will never be attainable and by the time it will be, well if you still play ESO it will be a single-player experience).

Also ESO is very far from being a truly competitive game. The gear/stat cap to complete stuff is not at all near the hard- or softcap and minor stat differences don't even matter one bit in duel-style PvP, let alone in mass zergs that 95% of ESO's PvP is all about.

I agree.

.but i disagree with the competitive part...if it was up to me, gear wouldnt matter in pvp and everyone would have almost same stat so that skill prevails and not how much grind you made...but zhats another story

XP boosts are more like foolishness. Yes, they give you a 10% XP gain bonus. SO?
In effect, that means a boosted player will earn in 54 minutes what a non-boosted player does in an hour, right?
Is saving those six minutes really worth it???
Aren't the ones who pay for that not just wasting their money? Just to get there a little faster? Well, I suppose if its worth for them... me, I wouldn't call it PtW, not by a long shot...
