what you keep demanding is people justifying why they find something fun or not fun. and honestly, its just sad.

Seriously? All you are doing now is arguing to argue. I am going to give you a concrete example, knowing full well you will just poo poo it. But, here goes:
I no longer want to play this game because of this change. I never PvP'd because I don't like it, and never wanted to engage in the activities like Battlegrounds. I have done 1 1/2 BGs, since this change, and 0 Duels and 2 of my Alts are 4 in PvP, and that is only because I was trying out PvP. Correction, one was almost at 5, and I won't talk about how much time I spent LFG and chasing battles to get over that hump to 5. Time I did not want to spend to get back something I already had.
However, I used Rapids everyday while PvEing. And, don't respond with the argument that Rapids if a PvP only skill, it would not have been usable in all zones if it was, nor would have been unlocked with a simple introduction to PvP that the game offers every character at L10, by doing PvE activities.
This rapids change sucks, and I no longer play this game because of it.
Moving Rapids back or giving us another way to get the skill without would do nothing to hurt your gameplay or bother you, so I am not sure why you are so against it.
Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

sigh. lets see. I enjoy decorating. i do NOT enjoy how long it takes me to get around some of my houses without rapids. it takes time away from decorating and adds on pointless travel. especialy since inside houses, WE CANNOT MOUNT.
here is one example. yes, it bothers me this much.
not having a tool you have come to rely on can make an activity less fun. DOES make an activity less fun. ever tried to... lets see... cook something? and say you are used to using very good, sharp knives, and then those knives are taken away from you, cheaper duller knives given instead. its just tool, right? except.. now the process is more frustrating and less fun, because THE TOOL sucks.dirty worthless casual.

It was a thought experiment, to ask how you would feel. The fact that you have failed to engage with that but instead wanted to focus on what is/isn't a skill, rather than the impact it would have on you as a person, suggests that either you are not wanting to understand other peoples points of view as much as you say you are, or you are not a very empathetic person.
I get your thought experiment, but using an example of something that would never happen doesn't bring the idea home. This has nothing to do with empathy, and I will not have my character questioned on a gaming forum.
My opinion has been all along that the impact of not moving fast is minimal, and doesn't stop you from doing anything in game. If people would give specific examples on how this has ruined their game play, it would be a lot easier to understand their view. Just saying "It's not fun any more." doesn't tell us anything.
Why would anyone waste extra time exploring nature from a horse? Second, why are the useful PvE skills Rapid, Vigor, Caltrops, Warhorn, among the PvP exclusive skills? Need cannon fodder for PvP players?
Third, something you had and what you are used to, someone took it away from you. Today RM, tomorrow something even worse. Enjoy your meta equipment, meta builds, perfect skill rotations and let us play our imperfect and boring PvE game.You are so perfect at chasing PvE players who are forced to collect skyshards in Cyrodiil and other PvP zones.

All I've seen are things like:

"I don't want to have to PvP to get it."
"It takes me 2 seconds longer to get from here to there."
"But I've always had it."
"They can't just take away something we've had for 6 years." (Yes, they can.)
"I'm going to unsub if I don't get it back."
"You don't use it so you aren't entitled to an opinion."
No one has said anything like these:
"I was unable to do a dungeon because I don't have rapids."
"I was unable to do a trial because I don't have rapids."
"I was unable to complete a quest because I don't have rapids."
No one has shown any proof whatsoever that basic game play has been negatively affected in any way.

except as pointed out MULTIPLE TIMES, stamina characters did have other options. maybe not as good as vigor, but there were options. even for nighblades.
so we are back to "i personaly find it more important, ergo its more important"
your whole argument is that nothing is impossible without rapids. and i'm saying - nothing is impossible without vigor., and yet. ZoS moved vigor, because it made some things EASIER for SOME people. so why is this a good reason when it comes to vigor... but not rapids? double standard much? oh... right... for YOU its not as important. that is the only "hard fact" you have. personal preference.Edited by ZOS_ConnorG on September 4, 2020 3:39PMdirty worthless casual.

Not really, you can easily do content without vigor including soloing dungeons. Stam characters already have class and weapon based heals, but I guess its a different story when it’s something that affects you.

In the total amount of time I have spent arguing on this topic I probably could have unlocked Rapids on one alt.
The total amount of time I have spent in game is usually doing dailies and some farming, that's about it, and that is if I feel like being in ESO. Sometimes I do, sometimes I feel burned out. I've been feeling a burnout for a while now, but that was because I was doing delve dailies on 5 alts for about two or three weeks straight.
I have to give myself a break too!
Starting tomorrow with the IC event (why???), I'll be doing the bare minimum on my main, who has over 136 days of cumulative time spent. I don't think IC dailies give that much AP anyway, so I doubt this event is going to help me earn rapids on additional alts.

THAT is an actual reason ZoS gave us. except if you are going to make an argument referring to whether content is doable or not? well then vigor didn't have to be moved, because all content is doable without it. which makes the whole argument about whether content is doable or not - POINTLESS to this discussion and trying to derail it from its actual point.
that point being that playing without accessible rapids is less fun in a wide variety of content for wide variety of people.
offered solution - and I repeat it yet another time. make both rapids and vigor accesible at the same time. rather then continuing to tell people that "they are having fun wrong"
or.. you know, actualy balance the specific stamina specs that were lacking stamina specific burst heal to have it. they are not above adjusting skills to have stamina morphs - heck they just did it with one of the sorc skills in this very patch, to give stam sorcs more class options.
for example... instead of having two magicka morphs for strife... one not make one of them stamina based. or adjust malevolent offering yet again. there are options. switching places for vigor and rapids was NOT the only way to do it is the stated goal was to give stamina players a stamina heal earlier in a game.Edited by Linaleah on September 2, 2020 9:53PMdirty worthless casual.

No one has shown any proof whatsoever that basic game play has been negatively affected in any way.
There are a few situations where the lack of Rapids can profoundly and negatively impact gameplay. Some of them are going to be more common than others.
World Bosses in a high traffic zone or during a high traffic event. What I mean by this is, for instance, the Summerset event. You would have a world boss spawn with several groups gathering to fight it. On many instances, I was a part of a group that had to tell everyone to hurry up because someone outside of the group LEEROY JENKINSed the world boss. This happens all the time, sometimes to the point where it is necessary to wait until the World Boss respawns. This can be a time consuming and even frustrating affair, as not everyone has 25 hours per day for ESO. Numerous things can limit someone's time in game, such as real life requirements. Someone out on the West Coast might be more prone to missing the Daily Quest reset time, as in local time it happens around 11 PM (10PM outside of DST).
Harrowstorms during a high traffic event. Shortly after Greymoor launched, the fastest way to get 3 Harrowstorms completed for the daily was to do them in Blackreach. Because those storms respawned relatively faster than the ones top-side, many people opted to camp out at one until it popped. This has the result where someone posts that a Harrowstorm is about to come down, and there being about 30 to 40 seconds before it is entirely completed. Yes, they can go down that quick - I have timed it (fastest was 28 seconds from red fog). My strategy was to instead camp out near a wayshrine, that way I have generally an equal distance of riding to the Harrowstorm, and I still missed a few even with my agile riding skills. Without Rapid Maneuver, I would not be able to do this, I would have to instead opt to camp out at a Harrowstorm location, which would make the task of completing one significantly longer. Due to the random nature of Harrowstorm spawns, a specific location, even in Blackreach, may take up to an hour to respawn. I have seen it jump from Miners to Gloomforest and back and Nightstone was quiet for the entire time. Due to the Greymoor motif dropping later this month, and also the Lost Treasures of Skyrim event possibly involving this daily quest, a high traffic event later this year is almost certain.
PVP in Cyrodiil with a large group. Capturing keeps and resources requires riding across a long distance at times and keeping up with a large group. The best way to do this is to use Rapids. Falling behind is almost guaranteed to happen, because you cannot rely on groupmates providing you with rapids - it affects 12 people at most, if you're in a 24 person raid then you're out of luck. Even in smaller raid groups, sometimes the distance between groupmates extends to the point where you are just out of range of getting rapids from one of them. Falling behind then results in arriving later to a battle - this affects the battle itself because the group isn't going to be fighting to its best when members are trickling in from Chalman. If the group is instead able to keep a tighter formation, success is more likely - many lost battles are because the group was just too spread out to be effective at anything. The lack of Rapid Maneuver is going to greatly increase that on alts that do not have Assault at 5. Resources and sometimes even keeps and outposts may even flip before a player could get within range for the AP credit, whereas with Rapid Maneuver they would not have had much of a problem. Because PVPing in a large coordinated group is my preferred method, the lack of Rapids effectively discourages me from trying to regain Rapids in this manner.Edited by JoeCapricorn on September 2, 2020 9:55PMI simp for vampire lords and Glemyos Wildhorn11 -

What evidence do you have to support this?
ZOS have never stated it was being overused. And if this was the case, they could nerf it without making it harder to get. Give it a 30 second cool down for instance.
This method in no way nerfs it's overuse. People can still get it and use it at the same rate. The only thing it does is make it take extra time to get. And it is that extra time spent for no reason that, people are complaining about.

Nerf it/change it. You guys MUST learn this and not complaining.
What evidence do you have to support this?
ZOS have never stated it was being overused. And if this was the case, they could nerf it without making it harder to get. Give it a 30 second cool down for instance.
This method in no way nerfs it's overuse. People can still get it and use it at the same rate. The only thing it does is make it take extra time to get. And it is that extra time spent for no reason that, people are complaining about.
i rather say under the time youre trying to defend your precious skill. you could have farm the AP. ;D

Vigor: This ability is now first in the skill line to unlock, and has swapped places with Rapid Maneuvers in efforts to help builds focused on Stamina to have a healthier leveling experience. Previous XP gained in both of these skills will be retained, but if your Assault skill line is too low to obtain the 3rd skill, you will have to level it in order to gain access to Rapid Maneuvers again.

That says nothing about people over using Rapids, which is what you stated. And no one, NO ONE, in these threads are sayings its bad that people now get Vigor easier.

once again just stating. zos might do bs sometimes. but they DO know what they are doing. And when they do something with an ability. they do have their reason. dosent matter the reason. you must trust them and accept it. or if you not, you make their job harder. and surely they are not that evil corporation as some people describe them. to make you pay for feeding your horse or something like that. this overall topic(s) is just making you all into the [snip] of ESO.
im really over wtith reading this. that was my final answer. (and yes. you just did defend it.)

✭ZOS has made mistakes in the past. This isn't anything new. A game like ESO requires constant adaptation, but also an appreciation for things that ought to be set in stone. The fact is, Rapid Maneuver was a basic skill in many players' repertoire. That this thread alone has topped 19 pages should speak to the enormous amount of controversy changing the skill's requirements has generated. I am also not surprised to see a surge in posts and comments about this issue, because now this stupid change made its way onto the Consoles and now those players are also logging in to this rude awakening.
It is not going to go away until ZOS reverses course, at the least by returning Rapid Maneuver back to where it was: Obtainable from the start. The moment I can log in and put it back on the bar of ALL of my alts is when I will restore my subscription. End of story.I simp for vampire lords and Glemyos Wildhorn10 -
Wytch✭✭✭I've been giving this some thought over the last few days. Let me clarify a few things and then explain the only way this is ever getting fixed.
First, no one is saying you shouldn't get Vigor sooner or as easily as Rapids, just not by RIPING RAPIDS AWAY FROM THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN REFLEXIVELY USING IT FOR 6 YEARS! Let's put that to bed right now. This could have been done better.
"a healthier leveling experience." This excuse it grating on some people for a reason. If you have a lowbie toon, log into it, look at the tooltip for vigor. During most of the "leveling experience," vigor is about as useful as a screen in a submarine. It's not until you get into the champion points that it becomes useful, so that excuse was a straight-up LIE.
Who does this change help? The FEW people that actually cared about Vigor for whatever reason.
Who does this change hurt? EVERYONE THAT USED RAPIDS! That includes pve folks farming or bouncing from delve to delve etc and also the pvp folks out in the massive expanse called Cyrodiil just trying to keep up with the zergs or get from point A to point B without getting ganked by a would-be proctologist. But get this.... it especially hurts the pvpers that loved cyrodiil b/c now not only does this make it take a lot longer to get (relatively speaking since natural pvpers can surly get it faster than others) but it will also mean it will take them a lot longer to get to the MORPH they want if they don't already have it waiting for them.
We are NEVER going to hear anything official in response to our outrage about this because they KNOW they were wrong and just making a cash grab with this change. Make no mistake, it is a cash grab. There are a LOT of people that hate pvp or are simply too lazy to grind it out on their alts so they will suffer thru it on one toon and then BUY the pvp skills with crowns for 30 bux per alt. Think about that.... 30 bux per alt per account for every person too lazy to grind or too hateful of pvp. You really think that this change isn't a cash grab?
[snip]
That is my current strategy and I plan to stick to it until they either fix this mess or until I find a new game to settle into. Gotta say, there are a few that are looking pretty good.
