    Topic says it all. Game is being ruined because its soooo easy. Why can i kill things 7- 8 lv's above me with ease. Not just one or two but three mobs at a time 7-8lvs above, and im playing a melee sorcerer. Most times i don't even have to move, just stand still and hit right trigger. Quests have no meaning, i mean who cares what your killing when its all just fluff in your way, a lv 20mudcrab will give you the same fight as a lv 20 Troll. Why would ZOS do this? LVs 1-50 need a huge overhaul

    How long have you been playing? Do you have veteran chars, and have applied your champion points to the low level chars?

    Your missing the point completely . lv 1-50 is a joke, which is where all the story is and majority of games content.

    My point was that for a new player, it might not be as easy as it is for you. If you find it too easy, you can gimp yourself by using lover level armor and weapons, and not applying those champion points to your alts.

    lol... this statement used over and over.

    Why the fudge would anyone wanna do this?

    A HUGE, massive, major factor of MMOs is the gear upkeep, upgrading, and participation.

    Nerf ourselves?
    Because its too easy?

    Whoa man. Just whoa.

    Why develop our character at all?
    Lets just go all stamina with a mage.
    At least we'd gimp ourselves in that avenue.

    That's right. Let's do it. Let's go ahead and up the difficulty to a level that only the most experienced and "best" players can play it.

    What a great idea! That way TESO can be an exclusive club for only one kind of player and we can have our own little clique and look down on everbody else!

    Fortunately, we can then alienate the other 99% of players that are casual players so that they quit and never come to TESO again. Good riddance to those pathetic losers. >:)

    Is that really what you take from that post? Think your taking it to the extreme. I am just asking for more options, to accommodate more players of different skill levels not just one, which is frankly set at below average.(just the truth)

    The game is pretty easy - and it's definitely easier than it was when I started playing.

    My favorite example is Doshia. Back in May-June of 2014, you could die fighting Doshia. If you weren't playing attention to how she was healing and planning for the fight ahead, yeah, you could easily die. You had to attack the orbs to even survive.

    Now I just hit her with two to four hits and she's dead. I've said it before: it's one of most anti-climactic moments in the game.

    But when I've suggested it in the past, I get the same answer. "You've learned to play the game," is a common chorus. Maybe, but that doesn't explain how the entire difficulty of the game has dropped down. Zeni seems to be on a quest to make the early game easy or streamlined. The beginning tutorial has been cut back to next to nothing, with entire chunks of dialog removed, all in the interest of making the game more "streamlined'.

    I would love to see a difficulty setting. I doubt they can use a slider, but a more difficult instance of the game ... call it a challenge or an ironperson mode or whatever ... would be a welcome edition.

    Yeah. Let's be so arrogant and think that 99% of the player population isn't capable of handling decently challenging content. Yep nerf it further. They are clearly inept..Clearly only the elite 1% of the player base can figure out the intricacies of wasd movement and a 5 skill 3 stat game system.

    It is very ironic.Most of the: "for fun" ,"casual" ,"immersion" crowd I have encountered are mostly cynical ,judgmental ,arrogant and have a extremely low opinion of the player base.
    They are also critical of any play style that is not their.

    Agreed, ZOS has very low expectations of player skill.

    The community has had a lot to say about the game over the last year and almost all of it was wrong.

    Difficulty, diminishing returns, balance issues.

    Players are terrible judges of what's actually good for the game, and there's way too much stuff that's still way to broken to make a proper balance or difficulty pass on the game.

    But the current state of things isn't a question of CP or addons or elitism or anything of that sort, the solo PVE game was too easy at launch and it's absolutely trivial now.

    My 6Y/O doesn't die in solo PVE.

    I don't die soloing group challenges.

    It's broken.
