So VMA was basically a colosol waste of time.

They bring in trait change, then nerf the biggest set of weapons that people actually wanted to change traits on.
How ironic of ZoS, what a waste of people's lives.
To think the amount of people that have done VMA for their PVP builds, the countless, wasted hours.
What a disrespectful change.

✭✭✭✭✭@Krayzie ...i'm not an arena participant, but, I've always coveted those weapon drops for pvp...
I think I understand the nerf - weapons no longer buff a players overall stats - just that particular weapons stats...
is that basically it, or, was there something else?Edited by geonsocal on September 18, 2017 11:56PMPS4/NA & EU (Cyro & IC): This Must Be The Place...Traders RefugeThe Purple Gang

@Krayzie
Do you watch eso live and follow datamining here and Dev comments as well as patch notes?
Everyone knew MSA, dungeons, trials, etc would have changes but no one knew exactly what.
It was requested to
1. Change the grind
2. Offer tokens or allow trait changes
This shouldn't have been a surprise as VMSA was the highest complaint for grinding as well as traits on all other drop sets.Edited by NewBlacksmurf on September 19, 2017 12:57AM-PC (PTS)/Xbox One: NewBlacksmurf

There is moving on it's called Destiny 2. Join the wave, life is better when the game your playing has higher than 5 FPS.
Played ESO since first day of release 900+ CP, 500+ Maelstrom runs since it first dropped. Been playing MMOs since WoW first dropped, these balance changes are not good for the game. Long time players can tolerate and adapt to nerfs/buffs but when every 3 months your changing the complete fundamentals of the entire game it's not a good thing. Especially when your changing it to create skillless heavy attack rotations no one enjoys and on top of that show no signs what so ever of fixing or caring to fix trials on console. No one even running VHOF or VMOL on Xbox since release of HoTR it's just a complete lag fest. This is like the 10th time since I've been playing that content has literally been unplayable on console due to game performance and it's well documented across the console community.
Plus use some common sense why is crafted gear even remotely close to on par with VMA, master, trials, dungeon gear. What kind of incentive do you give for players to strive for hard to get gear. Only MMO I've ever played that literally crafted gear that is accessible to everyone is better than gear you need to run something 100+ times to get in the right trait.
Rant over, games dying quickly and many are truly tired of ZOS and the complete ineptitude of showing any signs at all of fixing this game.

No offence man, but if you don't want game changes and evolution, don't play MMOS. As it's always part of the process. And if people wanted to waste their lives, time im vMA that's their problems, tons of threads have been around on the subjets of poor % drop rates etc.. here, and other forums.. and they still did it... so they got to deal with it... if they wanted to run 1 000 times, that'S their problems... i did it 87 times and got tired of it... if i ran it 87 times it's because i wanted to waste my time doing it, even though iV'e read about the drop rates. That's my opinion. -

✭I know this opinion can be a little .. flammable, but you are all crazy for farming that in the first place, it was an insane thing to do considering that RNG.
Maybe they can give some compensation for the players that ran it a lot of times.

That's cool that you're okay with being slapped in the face.
