BBOORRRIINNGG!
Run around waiting for things to spawn with a few other people racing to get them too, then run somewhere else without any challenge what so ever.
This is the least entertaining thing to have ever been implemented!
CHALLENGE ME GAME!!! Whoever implements game content give me something to hold my interest, not just run to point x and collect y over and over and over and over and over and over and over.....
You get 1 more month ZOS, 1 more!.
Feels like you are TRYING to fail this game.

✭✭✭✭✭The dailies, like any open world quest in this game, is not intended to be challenging, by design. This will not be changing anytime soon.
If you are interested in a solo challenge then vMA is the place to go. In a few weeks it should become more challenging for some.7 -

VMA is NOT challenging, I can light attack through that place now.
If not challenging then should be faster to save the boredom of running to places I've already run to 5 billion times.
Unless ZOS's idea of challenging is a personal battle of not falling asleep and forcing my brain to accept lazy ass quest writing. ZOS is king of copy/paste quests.1 -

If you are light attacking your way through vMA, and you demand a bigger challenge than that, this may not be the game for you. The majority of the content is aimed at a more casual audience. There are some things for those looking for more elite content such as vet DLC dungeons and the ahievements associated with them, but if even those are too easy for you, then you are in the top 0.01% of elites. It's highly unlikely that ZOS will design content for that small percentage of players as nobody else would be able to complete and/or enjoy it.9 -

✭So you guys are saying you are happy with the level of effort ZOS have put into the Murkmire prelude dailies?
@theyancey yes I have all the stuff but I also have put the time and effort in to get it, all 15 character slots geared and levelled for every facet of this game, over 1200 cp, millions of gold and mats. That's 1 account I have 3.
What do you need?

✭The New Life Festival dailies prove that they are capable of making them interesting and enjoyable. These ones are just horrible - boring and long-winded. I don't think they need to be challenging but they should still engage people, if only for the first few times. These weren't even fun the first time.PS4 EU6 -

Grab the free starting item from the Crown Store. Finish the questchain you got this way. After that you can get the dailies in Shadowfen.0 -
Carl-lan✭✭✭✭I have done 2 dailies. So far I have found them enjoyable.
This is because my son does not sleep until really late at night. This means I have very little ‘Car-lan’ time (that’s me).
It is therefore important to me to enjoy life and the opportunities presented at present. And not whinge about them.
So my advice would be, have children. Then you will enjoy the dailies.
But you’ll have no life. And you’ll be like, ‘maybe I shouldn’t have done that.’ But you can’t say that. Because it’s bad to say that.
Don’t be bad.
Good luck to you and your family.Edited by Carl-lan on October 13, 2018 9:58PM13 -

✭✭✭OP, going by everything you've stated, it seems you've hit your plateau in ESO and see typically busy work as boring now
Short of PvP, there essentially nothing left for you to do except wait for the next event or raid tier to be released for ESO to have anything to do but since ESO is slow in this department, it might be time to step away from ESO, even if only temporarily, to give it time to get back some of its spark for you to rekindle your enjoyment again.Argonian forever3 -
Shardaxx✭✭✭✭✭First time is ok, then I noticed you have to do 150 for the full achievement. They are way too boring for me to consider doing that, I think I'll stop at 10.PS4 - Europe - Shardaxx - Wood Elf Nightblade - Aldmeri Dominion0 -

Port to Vulkhel Guard, Davon's Watch, or Daggerfall City wayshrines - there is a quest-giver adjacent to each of these, who will first send you into the local Outlaw refuge and then eventually send you to Shadowfen. Once you have completed both of the intro quests, there are 6 daily repeatable quests from the argonian quest-giver outside Stormhold in Shadowfen. The Dailies take you to various other zones.0 -

There's no real need to do the full 150 dailies. However, the double-XP Witches' Festival event is coming up, and doing these dailies is fairly quick if you want to get a bunch of extra xp (assuming you have have maxed mount speed and rapids). Some of the quests take you into delves or to a World Boss that can earn you a dremora plunder skull too, so not bad as a two-fer.1 -

✭✭✭✭✭I would have liked the dailies if they didn't purposefully make you run from one side of a map to the other. Like, why does the Nord storm woman have to be literally on the opposite side of the map from where you have to shout? That's the only thing that was pointless. (Yes, you can take wayshrines, but somehow your quest objectives are never actually CLOSE to any of them. LOL.)
Otherwise, I think the dailies are fine.0 -

I started playing 6 months after release and have seen the majority of the content become easier and easier.
But dailies have been more or less consistent in the way they use up player time rather than effort so the Murkmire dailies in that respect follow the same principle.
The more game smart and capable players will always look toward the more challenging parts of the game and when with experience these parts over time will naturally become less demanding. There is a need for harder content otherwise these "premium players" will look to other games to satisfy their need for challenge.
We already have Normal, Veteran, Vet + Scroll levels to modify content difficulty.
Also the +0 to +3 principle for some trials
One way to expand these difficulty modifier is to have additionally have a scalable level such as 1 - 9 where 1 is the current entry level and levels 5 to 9 should be very very hard.
Examples,
Mobs can all attack at once (like with the horn in HelRa)
Multiple mobs may spawn (like the initial mobs in HelRa)
One or more boss may spawn from within the mob
A boss may resurrect
A boss may split into several copies (like the wisp mother except all copies can become primary)0 -

I've seen most of Europe and "lived" life a hell of a lot in my younger day ....
