Nerfing Content to appeal to the masses the wrong way to go about it

Now some of us have been involved in these sort of games for 10 years or so . Honestly it's nothing new this whole nerf thing. I'm shocked that it is so early and I am shocked that it is so completely across the bored.
1 thing about the 1-50 I think I did a level each forty minutes by purely AoE grinding . That wasn't fun - the questing was too easy and rewards not good.
Anyway ZOS you need to reconsider this for another week or two to really understand the reaction.
Blizzard made the mistake of going with the masses to their detriment.
The reason is it is the top 5% of players that make the community - the other next 10% of that (so now top 15%) support them - end game and organised PvP. It is the bottom 85% who aspire to be there but who may never get there (colourful names for these people rhyme with rubs )
Harsh as it is without the top 5% engaged the next 10% won't get organised and the bottom 85% will not see the game as valuable and also drop off.

Stratti✭✭✭✭✭Lol
They shouldn't close this it is a legitimate point . Difficulty plus high reward is what drives MMO. That's why people want to be heroic raiders in WoW. It is challenging with high reward.
They didn't consult - they just knee jerked reaction and now the back lash is on
Bottom line they needed to beef up the rewards so everyone is happy to push and make bonds with strong players to help them through.0 -

✭✭✭Yeah but you mentioned WoW so they could close this one too saying your advertising another game.0 -
Blud✭✭✭✭✭Nerfing VR to make it FUN is absolutely the right thing to do. People should want to keep playing the game instead of unsubbing because they hit a wall.
The most difficult content of the game should be in dungeons and pvp.
This is best for the long-term health of the game and will keep a bigger population active to complete world bosses, dolmens, etc. in the VR+ and especially ++ zones.
Good decision ZOS!

Wow really I wouldn't imagine ZOS they might that created the behemoth of Skyrim would fear another.
Honestly I don't care really I'm pretty much 90% done with this game. WoW I never thought I'd say this but they may have just had their first failure.0 -

Really that's your answer.....
Some people play candy crush - we should have something from them
Some people like Ez mode fps - we should have something for them
Some people like console games that are 1 hour on and then off - something for them
Some people like proper MMO with difficulty and grind and toon development - o wait have we got something for them?
