Frustrated by not being able to find enough people to do trials.

GnGEmpire · September 2015

So basically, I've yet to do any of the trials. Aetherian Archives in particular., and for the past couple of weeks been trying to find group members via all the ingame tools I could. Had different people posting in different zones, posting in all guilds chats, used the group finder tool (which actually never worked for me) and it seems to be impossible for someone who wants to experience that content / unlock the achivements/dye rewards to do so.

Is there something that I'm missing?
Have any of you been able to do any of the trials lately? and if so, how did you find a group?
Are there specific player guilds for this kind of game content?
Do you think maybe this should be changed to a 4 player group in order to make finding a group more possible?

Doing trials in a PUG is too much work. Join a guild that runs them weekly.

The reason you can't find anyone to do trials is that ZOS has not updated them to V16. Not having endgame gear makes trials no longer an endgame activity and reduces the inventive to run them.

This should be a warning to everyone about "endgame" activities. ZOS has never pledged to maintain their current endgame and may let certain activities wane into non-importance in order to push new DLC by raising level caps.

The same issue is happening to Dragonstar arena. There are some very un-comforting trends in itemization and gear restriction right now.

ZOS seems willing to hurt the replay-ability of their own game in order to push new content.

But don't worry, ZOS said they are getting rid of Veteran Ranks, by adding more of them..

@GnGEmpire Glad to see your posting! I've never done any of the trials yet either, but always wanted to (especially the Archive). If you happen to play on PC/NA (EP or DC), feel free to send me a PM about how I can contact you in the game

At least it would be 2 already, maybe we can find some more to get it done^^

Join a guild that does PVE. They might have Trials on hold at the moment because of IC.

Also it doesn't scale to V16 yet so people don't want to farm for the loot.

Thanks for the imput fellas, even tho it's very unfortunate that this type of content is getting neglected.

@Moonshadow66 Sounds great mate, however I play on the EU server..

It's quite telling when the leader boards aren't even getting filled anymore! Free yellow loot and people don't even want to bother for that now the gear is worthless....
