    No I do not enjoy questing in ESO, and here’s why
    Well, it Is not the quests that Are bad, they Are acutally very well written and lots of them tells awesome stories. It Is the difficulty which Is ridiculously low especially after cp160, that makes them boring. You running around from place A to place B And killing everything (including bosses sadly!) In 3-5 seconds just makes the questing one big reading festival which gets really boring after while,sadly. If they manage to increase the difficulty somehow (veterand overland, scalling etc.) And the quest Will become challenging then it Will be fun, but not like this. Its really a shame.

    TLDR: Overland content needs a hard mode.

    Long version:
    Used to enjoy questing. That's what brought me into the game, to find a less sh... version of Skyrim.

    I promised myself never to take part in group activity due to bad experience in other games. Then I learned that group dungeons can be soloed. Started that. Switched to grouped play. Got sucked into Undaunted pledges. Got great gear from that, started twinking to make use of all the sets. Now, I have 18 characters that are completely overgeared for overland activity. Questing now has no challenge, which makes it boring.

    I think most of you forgot how it feels when you start something you have absolutely no idea about:)
    Because I remember
    I started in July and yes it was difficult to play for the first time, trying to figure out what is what, adjusting your powers etc
    Now of course it feels easy but this happens in every game.
    You learn it, it is easy...
    Even if I start at level 1, now it is just easy.
    Because I know what to expect, when to expect.

    Content is trivial and the rewards are abysmal.
    The quality storys often times pales even in comparison to sw:tor at launch or just about any singleplayer game.

    The main culprit for me is however, that questing is outright harmful if you want to progress a character towards endgame. Grinding XP and Skyshards is faster and more rewarding than questing.
    This however means not that grinding should be nerfed. It means that zos should look into rewarding questing and exploring more.

    I wouldn’t say “very much” but yes I enjoy the quests and stories.

    As a complete sucker for TES lore, I really enjoy the quests, even if their writing isn't always excellent. Tbh, when I do quests I don't pay attention to the quality of its stories. Then again, I do find a way to enjoy everything ^^
    Before I did any group content, I completed questing my alliance zones first. Sure, the leveling is slow af (I think I finally reached 50 at the end of the last zone, including guild & main quest), but I have no ragrets.

    Love questing. Agree with @FierceSam that when a new zone comes out nearly all guildmates give up on pvp & trials etc and go questing! To the OP - this is an MMORPG - questing has been an integral part of the game for the last 5 years and you get upset about the Q4 release now???!!

    For those saying that overland is ridiculously easy & you can solo a world boss at level 10? Well, good for you, but the majority of players can’t. And that’s not because they have to ‘git gud’ or any other such nonsense.

    There used to be a harder zone - Craglorn - and it was generally dead. Which is why they changed it as no-one was wanting to play at that harder level.

    If making things harder overland (or giving a toggle option - there have been numerous threads discussing options & feasibility) was a viable direction for the game, then that is where it would go, as that would bring in more revenue. But it seems that it is not the case.

    Questing is the reason I enjoy RPGs. I like exploring the world, following the stories and learning about the history and the lore. Good combat along the way is a bonus, but I'm mainly interested in the quests themselves.

    I used to Love questing. It took me a year to reach vet 16 because I only leveled through questing.

    Cadwell’s Silver pretty much beat the Love of questing from me.

    By Cadwell’s Gold I had become a true grinder.

    I try to enjoy newer zone story’s main quests, but inevitably find myself grinding through them as fast as possible.

    Setting aside the astonishingly biased OP...

    Yes, I enjoy questing.

    What I don't enjoy is the global level scaling.

    I do enjoy questing in ESO. It is almost as good as in Skyrim. However my main pain point is how easy all fights are, even if I run around naked with no CP.

    I haven't done quests in a looooong time, but I've recently gotten back to my Templar, who was stuck halfway in Coldharbour for over 2 years (I think?), and resumed his adventures.

    Currently doing TG and DB, having a blast again :)

    I do enjoy it, RP with my characters, become immersed and invested in the stories, etc., but... in small doses. For me it becomes tiring after a while, so I prefer to quest for a little while here and there, in between my other preferred game activities.

    Yes, I love the quests, just as in any other MMO I have played before. They are my absolute main reason to play at all. And before somebody tries to send me to Skyrim: I own it, and have never even installed it. I also own Morrowind, Oblivion, the Mass Effect games, the Dragon Age games, the Witcher games, KotOR 1+2 etc. I simply can't play them without become bored sooner or later.

    I used to but don't really anymore. With the older quests, I've been through them so many times, they're boring. The newer quests over the last two years, while having a few high points, are mostly boring from the start.
