Yup, never understood the sense of entitlement grinders get when they're the ones screwing others over. Strange the hypocrisy that goes on too. They're usually the most selfish players around. They have no qualms ruining things for others and tell others to stop whinging, yet when someone has the audacity to infringe on their grind, because you need to kill enemies to progress quests, the grinders get all precious and cry the loudest. I don't mind grinding areas if they're out of the way of quests because they have little bearing on anything, but only good can come out of quest related areas being nerf'd.
Myself, i have always just ignored the cries of grinders. If they have an issue with what I'm doing they're free to leave the area. No idea why they think they're more entitled to be there more than anyone else.Edited by Prof_Bawbag on October 5, 2016 1:30PM9 -

The same goes for you, what makes you think you´re more entitled to a certain area compared to those who grind??? If we take cracked wood cave as an example. This location has no quest associated to it, only an achievement or two. So in that case, grinders isn´t an issue in Cracked wood cave, since they aren´t hindering any quest-progress (am I right)?
Let´s take the Auridion grinding spot with the cursed bears/wolves (Everyone knows about this farming spot at this point so I´m not revealing any knew farming/grinding areas). This place have a quest located were you need 1 bear to complete the quest (Not sure about all the details but I know you need to caputer 1 bear to cleans it from corruption or something). If I were to do a quest there and people were grinding there (aka killing all bears/wolves) and woulnd´t let me have a bear for the quest: Well, they´re being douchbags but it´s something I´ll have to deal with. Yeah sure they´re blocking my questprogression but they have all the right to be there and farm/grind if they want. You´re not more entitled to do your quest than someone else want to grind a certain area.2 -

And people like you would have just been killed by me and my grinding buddies. However, if people came and asked (no matter what alliance) that they simply need to kill the boss or whatever, we would always let them do so. No point in griefing others. Assuming every grinder is selfish and entitled is a bit too easy on your part.
It's a give and take in public (PvP) areas my dear.Susano'o

I don't think I'm entitled to anything other than to get from point A to B to progress any given quest, hence the reason i choose to ignore the requests of the grinders. I pay the same money as those guys and unless I'm missing some obvious rule(s) in the TOS I'm free to kill any npc I wish to kill. I don't tell others they can't grind and by the same token, they can't tell me what I should be doing. Grinders tend to take ownership over their grind spot. That was my point. Like me, they own nothing. Whether it be pixelated goblins, wolves etc, they can't dictate to anyone who does what. Yet that's what many of them do, tell others to GTF etc.
As for the other guy who quoted me, if I'm in a PvP area, then yes, I accept you and your group of buddies can lay my toon flat out on his ass.
This just so happens to be in a PvP area, but lets not kid ourselves this happens in PvE areas too or used to.Edited by Prof_Bawbag on October 5, 2016 1:28PM4 -

crowfl56✭✭✭✭✭Once again to me grinders are just exploiter's and in some cases should be penalized.
Now on the other hand they may have paid for their game or their parents did
.
That doesn't give them the right to yell at anyone over their so called grind.
The simple fact is the game was dumbed down and made easy so the whinners can get to top lvl with little or no effort.
Do the quests, they get u more xp faster, so u can be top level in 1 day without much trying.
That in its self is the worst thing for any game, why not just allow them to click a box and be top level ?
Feel very sorry for all those " I want it now people" Life isn't going to work out to well for most of them.

Exactly, there is an achievement for the bosses, which a lot of people want to get. It isn't anyone's personal grind spot, it's a public location with achievements linked to the bosses, and a skyshard. Sure by all means kill people who come in, it's in Cyro after all, but it isn't anyone's "spot", it's a public area. Some people just want to go in, do the bosses, get the skyshard. And tbh if you are in there grinding and another group comes in grinding, it doesn't belong to either of you. Either fight it out, or stop whining about it.GM - Ghost Sea Trading Co - NA PC

FluffyReachWitch✭✭✭✭✭Ah, Cracked Wood Cave. I once ventured there fresh out of Auridon, seeking a Skyshard. And I was swiftly cut down as a couple of enemy alliance players ran into the first room, pulled every goblin in sight, and began using dual-wield attacks. I had no idea what was going on at the time, but it made my quest for skillpoints a little more exciting. 1 -

I never meant to sound rude (even tho I can see why it may seems so), if I´m grinding a certain area and blocking someones questprogression, and they ask me to pause for a moment so they can do their quest; I will pause 12/10 times and wait for them to do their quest.0 -

Yes, all spots...but SHUSH, I need to grind a new toon and I don't want them super flooded yet! (Joking).0 -
Florial✭✭✭Very happy that I never have grinded in ESO and have reached CP cap by just playing the game. Not criticizing grinders because some folks love that part of game play. And I have had some epic grind sessions in other games but mostly grouped up with friends and such. However when I'm cussed at by running into some area to advance a quest or gain an achievement, my patience with folks wears thin.
Communication can go a long way on both sides. I think that many grind groups would be okay letting someone run in and advance their quest or whatever. Can't comment on Cyrodill since I was lucky getting in and quickly getting the skyshard in that particular cave. My less than optimal experiences were in Alikir.....
