Grinding spots

Vtek716

Okay i know zos has nerfed majority of the best grinding spots but im asking why? This is a mmo and the quests were great the first go but doing it two times to level a alt is ridiculous and i can only imagine a 3rd which i wont do. If i wanted to watch a 50 plus hr movie two times id be insane. But let me be clear here i come from EQ,EQOA,EQ2, in those games you could quest and grind. I prefer the grind which they practically stripped from this game. All i ask is to accomodate us grinders too. I mean cmon 1 through 50 was cool but then you hit the vet wall which requires 4 times or more to lvl. Im not asking for instant gratification im asking to accomodate my and other playstyles. Giive us good camps to grind

I agree with this. The few spots left are pretty much so crowded on the weekends it's pointless.

Actually, I have a suggestion. Play the game.

No, this is not what you think. I'm not being a ***. Last night I was playing normally, questing, and I discovered an awesome grinding spot. I kept looking around for the other grinders and there was no one else there (okay, maybe one other person). I ran around for about 30 minutes, just grinding, without anyone around. I easily leveled up in that time and I swear I could have gone another hour without any interference.

Fast respawns. Lots of mobs. And seclusion.

That's like three of the top four things one wants out of a grinding spot. You'll figure the fourth out when the time is right.

The fourth is pizzazz!

So this was a vet ranked grinding spot?Curious if so cause 90 plus percent are nerfed between 3 factions

Yes. It was for my V3 level character.

Now ... you are correct in that most of them have been nerfed. In fact, it was directly between two other spots that have old YouTube videos which I know have been nerfed. That's why I kept looking for other players ...

Maybe Zeni overlooked it? Maybe they thought someone wouldn't use this as a grinding spot? I don't know. Or maybe I just hit it at a lucky time. I was questing and not looking for a grind spot. Suddenly ... an opportunity presented itself ...

Okay thats cool you found spot to grind out. I have looked a lot over and over but if its so rare to find a good spot to grind why hasn't zos accomodated ppl who want to do the grind? It shouldn't be a secret or a youtube thing. It should be there without nerfs or anything secret. This a mmo and grinding should be part of it. If people want to quest so be it but there is a grind crowd also. I just want to be heard

Agreed.

Unfortunately, I feel Zeni sometimes has a knee-jerk response to correcting problems. I hate their solution to perma-block; it ruined stamina builds for many players. And there were other ways to fix the problem. But this was definitely the easiest.

In the case of grinding spots, some grinders were acting like jerks and ruining it for everyone else. They couldn't just back off and give another player a chance. They had to ruin the game for everyone.

In these cases, Zeni is like an freshman astronomy professor I had as an undergrad. He used multiple choice tests and discovered someone cheated on one of them. His solution was to have everyone take the test over - even the students who didn't cheat and did well. Some of them got lower scores and they were not happy.

But that's what happens when you punish the innocent and the guilty at the same time.
