It's the lazy way out as always.
Instead of fixing class & build balance and adding better progression and rewards for completing tough content, they're just going to drop the HP & damage of mobs and think that will fix everything.
They haven't factored in the sub times too I'm sure mine will require renewal in the coming weeks. I've hit v12 I'm pretty maxed on stats ready to tank and now I really don't see the point, the point was the challenge , now... I can't see myself re subbing at this point and the game will lose a good tank while leaving behind the scrubs
Honestly all the talk used to be nerf this class and nerf that class now ZOS is so fed up and confused that they decide just to Nerf Everything .
Who thinks this is a knee jerk reaction ?

All we can do is give it a try and hope for the best. Maybe they won't hamfist it. Maybe it will be subtle? I don't know, I am extremely disappointed in this decision as it is about the worst thing they could have done (ruin the fun because people that want to stand in fire and never change their abilities complain), but my sub doesn't run out until the 10th which gives me three days to test out their latest experiment.
Still, it feels like a loss to the "dumb down all MMO's to faceroll status" WoW crowd.
You see, the thing is I feel quite sorry for Zenimax. And indeed any games company. They are absolutely damned if they do, and damned if they don't. You have loads of people with different opinions, all convinced that they are right and nobody else's opinion is. They know how to fix the game!
Vet content is too hard! Too much of a grind!
What people have to remember is veteran content is partly on them. Back when ESO was first announced, with the factions, you weren't able to travel to areas outside your faction. People were up in arms about it. Zenimax changed it and tweaked it. People dislike the veteran content because it's too hard or too much of a grind.
Zenimax are changing that.
People still hate it. I mean, there's so many armchair developers offering their solutions, and Zenimax is *clearly* listening to their players. And people still aren't happy. I wonder if *anything* would make most of the people happy at this point, or the hate is going to carry on to such a point that the game fails completely.
It's a new MMO guys. 3 months out and it's a work in progress. All MMO's are. No MMO ever comes out complete and in perfect working order. They're trying things. Fixing things. Yes the game has problems but I think it's a genuinely fun and good game to kill a few hours a week on, and I think Zenimax are now starting to really listen to people, take stuff on board and communicate more.
There's bigger things in the world to worry about, surely?
