Greetings.
After several months of practicing and maximizing of gear and tactics, our guild have beaten the top records in AA and Hel Ra citadel and are currently leading the leaderboards in AA, Hel Ra and the weekly on the leaderboards in writing moment.
After all of this changes and hearing about times on the North American servers where rumours says that necrotic orbs and skipping the first boss was used to do this, we basically started to lose interested.
So I'm asking on behalf of Baby Face Bananas, world record time in Hel ra and European record in AA holders that something is done to fix this. Reset the leaderboards and give everyone the same chances.
On top of this, something really needs to get done about the rewarding system since the end game of this has become completely worthless for many people.
1. The loot has been BoE for a week which means that anyone with some money now has some of the best gear in the game.
2. Holding world record in AA or Hel ra gives nothing rewarding what so ever. Not even an achievement of having the top time in an trial.
3. Weekly top 1 feels insanely worthless since it doesn't change anything compared to being number 95 even.
4. Work on all these bugs such as walking bug, combat bug, platform bugs and crash issuses so that people can do proper speedruns where they not need to hold their dumbs that no one has issues.
5. Make it more rewarding. Farming the same boss over 60 times and getting the same item 10 times while other items never drop isn't really rewarding and will make it feel repetively and completely worthless.
The Finesse system where you need to be "flashy" doesn't really work to well if your character data get's saved. We feel like we get hit in the face because we are too fast.
For those that doesn't understand this, here is a summary sent by mail from a ticket I made when I wanted to know how the loot system worked on the Mage and the Warrior.
Greetings adventurer Caph and thank you for contacting the Elder Scrolls Online Support Team.
I am Sir Rick and it saddens me that you fell under this situation, but I shall oversee your plea over this matter.
As from the chat that we just had, I am sending you this reply with some information that may help you in getting the desired items you are missing.
Remember to force load different data scripts by performing a soft reset: Log out of the game and close the launcher and wait for 15-20 minutes. Travel to player and /reloadUI while near the entrance of the dungeon/raid may also help.
Take some time between runs to give the game time to set a different set of pool items for the loot.
Besides that just be flashy for the finesse system to work in your behalf. Actively interact in the fight and do a bit of everything.
We just all feel that our weeks of practicing, late nights and dedication has resulted in the same things as farming gold has. Others might not be on top of the leaderboards but that is just minor seeing as it's a long list of names that most people don't even connect to.
Few ideas to fix this:
1. Introduce some sort of reward for being in place 1 for AA or Hel Ra, or just put something extra for being top 1 in the weekly to put a weekly competiton to it where being best matters.
2. Introduce something that will show which kind of guild that this is done by. (Allow the raid leader to set a main guild used/allow everyone to set a main guild/automatically set it to the guild the most people are in, or something similar)
3. Make an achievement that you get for holding rank 1 and give some sort of reward like a costume or similar (just like the hardcore PvPers get emperor, title, colour and a cosume, why can't people who do hardcore PvEing get the same?)
On behalf of Baby Face Bananas and as it's guild master, we ask for you to reset the leaderboards so that we can allow everyone to fight for the times with equal conditions.
Here is pictures of the times if you want to know the times (Caph is the name):
Here is our AA record run:

We don't have any video from Hel Ra as our streamer has FPS issues while streaming.
Make this game interesting for us again and reset it so that that all these supposively bug abused times on NA server and whatever there is on the european sever doesn't need to represent our end game content.
Our guild is also making it mandatory for all our members to put in /feedback suggesting this. Anyone who can do this as well, please do it!
