... I am reluctantly forced to admit I do not like it. I know others in my guilds do like it, but not me.

Of course I just leveled my main to vr 10 (I hate grinding and leveling a vr char is grinding) so that is probably why I don't survive 10 seconds in a pvp encounter... even though I seem to last a lot longer and way better in regular pvp. I even reset all my skills and abilities today for survival (heavy armor, stuns, and knockknacks and such) and it didn't really seem to make a difference. When I do finally level a char to vr16 I will probably like it better since Ill have the edge.

I will say that I am one of the few that have a harder time playing with keyboard and mouse and play better with controller for action games. So when controller support comes to ESO next month I will probably like it better and be able to play better. And yes, for pvp, ESO is an action game for me. Personal Preference and ability is all.

On the other hand, the additional crafting styles and armor sets really give me something to work forward to, especially as a crafter. So I am not saying the DLC is bad, just that I don't like IC right now as it is.
As a casual player I was satisfied that at one point I had a char max level and near max crafting with almost all motifs and I pretty much lost interest. Then ESO discovered DLC's and now my main is just a wanabe and I am happily pulled back into the game.

    I actually keep hearing that opinion here and there. Imperial City is a DLC that leans more towards experienced players, and especially IC PvE dungeons.

    I love people who skip all the content and then complain that the game is... lacking content. (Pro-tip: You'd be around VR14-16 if you just did all the quests on your way before reaching Craglorn. You don't need to grind for that at all and especially now when they lowered XP per VR rank from 1m to 850k.).

    It's not lack of VR16 that kills you, but lack of proper playing skills.

    You seemed to miss my point. Although you do have a point, sometimes the lack of experience isn't the problem.

    In all my years of playing pvp in mmo's, I have learned that keyboard and mouse combo DO NOT WORK FOR ME as well as it works for most others. In fact, I play a game with keyboard and mouse, and then I play the same game with a gamepad controller, SURPRISE, SURPRISE, the controller works better for me and I perform way better than with the keyboard/mouse combo.

    As for skipping content, SURPRISE SURPRISE! I am not. I am still grinding my way through VR content and doing every single quests I can. I am more like a absolute completionist than a skipper, as that is the only way to keep your vr levels appropriate for your area. Grinding in my case is the fact that it seems boring to go through VR content. Its alot more fun leveling up a char to VR level than actually do VR levels.

    I am sorry but when 1 VR16 player can hold off 9 VR1-13's, there is an obvious advantage to having a VR16 char. Last group I was in had several EXPERIENCED players leveling new VR chars and they were not doing that much better against this guy than I was. I actually don't think the guy died once before we gave up and ran away. It was actually hilarious that 9 people were essentially being ganked by just one player.

    I started PvPing in IC with a level 16 character. I alternate doing main quest/skyshard hunting with IC, so at any given time his combat related passives are maxed out. Amazing what a difference that makes.
    Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
    Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
    Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.
    ***
    Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
    House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
    Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis
