I pvp in orginized groups, I dont mind grouping for a group dungeon or such, but questing and exploring it just doen't work, I dont want to be grouped for every little thing I wanne do, waiting endlessly for afk'ers, wasting time on a pug group where people just leave and you have to abandon the whole thing, ... thats not my idea of fun

Solo players... you're telling me that you would love to continue paying $15 a month for a SOLO gaming experience that FORCES you to be online?

Every time i see people begging for "more solo content" it amazes me that they want to continue playing this game alone and pay $15 a month for it. Would you do that for Skyrim? What about Dark Souls II? The cost of the game + $15 a month to solo along in that too with the occasional online interaction?

The people that think this game should cater and provide even MORE content than the 3 alliance regions and delves really need to re-think the type of game they are playing. The continuation of this attitude will lead to gamers being OK with any game labeled "MMO" charging sub fees simply because they are online.

This game needs more reasons to be called an MMO. More timesinks, More group focused content that is not exclusive to raiding/trials. As it stands now, the players coming here expecting an MMO experience like myself will gradually realize they are just playing TES VI online with a fee and no real value added by the other players they may see on the screen...

Just my 2 cents. Carry on

In a word.... YES !

A single player RPG will always be a single player RPG, an MMO can be both !

It's having the option there that is what's necessary. I don't want a solo rpg, that bores me, but let me do some things solo even if the majority are group (which I do enjoy very much).

Craglorn is an absolute failure. It's safe to say that with population what it is. People laugh at me if I tell them I still play this game.

While I appreciate that folks enjoy different things...

..$15 a month for a solo experience is..

...well, crikey, if they pitched it during the marketing meeting they'd have laughed at the idea of folks willing to pay that much.

Thankfully, I can bet that such folks are the minority. If not then.. Beth/Zeni have no reason to release a stand alone single player game set in the ES world anytime soon.

I would happily pay a subscription for a Solo Experience that allows Solo Players to get the same high end loot as Group Players. I would still be able to interact with people whenever I wanted to, without being forced into a playstyle I don't like.

The number 1 thing that could cause me to cancel my sub, is being punished for my playstyle with inferior rewards "just because."

I want a "Play How You Want" experience, which means being rewarded top end items as rewards for completing Solo Content.

I am a "solo player", to be read as "solo MMO player." That means that I spend most of my time being the lone hero in a game filled with thousands of other heroes.

I do not like forced content, either forced solo or forced group instances. I think that every forced solo instance should scale up to a group and most group instances should scale down to a single player. When I say "instance" I mean places where no one else can go once the door closes behind the player or party. I do not mean areas where people can freely come and go at any time.

When I want more solo content, what I want is more content that can be soloed, not content that requires that it be done solo. I don't care if groups can also play in it, scaled appropriately. I actually prefer that individuals and groups be allowed to do content because it provides a second reason to do that content. The group content should be different and more challenging that the solo content.

But, more than that, as a solo MMO player I want less solo content where I am required to be alone. I don't care if I am alone after the door closes, but if I have a friend, mentor, or understudy, I should be able to bring them along, or have them being me along.

I am a solo player (read "solo MMO player") because I choose to be one. I do not like being told that I have to be solo, or cannot be solo. I want to make that decision.

I do not speak for everyone. There are solo players that have no interest in the MMO at all. There are people playing ESO as a single player game, and I think this is true of a lot of MMO games. I think they are a small minority of players, though. Some, if not all, would be gleefully happy if they could just solo the group content.

Yes! And fortunately, you're not the one who gets to tell me how I should spend my time and my money.

Solo players...

Can I pvp in a offline singleplayer game? No... I play mmorpg pvp solo because of the awesome fun.

You seem abit ignorant Just because a person doesnt group up, does not mean the person doesnt want the option to group and interact with other people.

Just because I chose to play a different way than you doesn't mean I'm wrong.
If you ask me, pvp is what screws most mmo's up, and causes them to be nerfed to oblivion.

Being in a group is a real pain and fun at the same time.

Pain because the group may want to move slower or faster than I do. Pain because I may forget something at the beginning of the dungeon and need to go back, but I feel bad about dragging everyone else along with me. Pain because I may not be in sync with what the others in the group want. Pain because after I finish a dungeon I may want to quit the game for a while, eat some dinner, then start to play again, the group is not going to wait around for me to do that. Pain because while I usually play around the same time each day, I don't want to have to view the game as an appointment I need to keep just to support the group.

Now, grouping can be a lot of fun. The best are the ones that just sort of happen, where a player comes along and we start to sync up out attacks and moves and things just work. I also like helping others in a battle, and I like getting help in some battles. Can have some nice chats with people in the group.

However, making content that is only grouped or only solo is not the answer. Make it so that if a group enters the dungeon, then it's scaled to a group instance. If someone enters the dungeon by themselves, then it's a public dungeon where anyone can enter the same instance and fight with, or along side of, or completely away from others that are in there. Just like it is now for most PvE dungeons.

In a word, yes.

But my thanks to the OP for his concern which I can assure him is entirely misplaced and based on a failure to grasp the difference between single-player offline games that are largely fixed at launch and soloable multi-player online ones that are constantly evolving.

Oh that's a good one.

Me like that one.

right now this game is way to easy in every aspect of the game, solo/group/trails and people have been yelling nerfs from day one.

I know the 2nd Best European trail team has all almost left the game, and one of the best pvp guilds has just closed shop like 1 week ago.

its sad to see this going on, on what could had been an amazing experience for everyone

Different stokes for different folks as the old saying goes, I am not completely a solo player but yes 14.99 for a game I enjoy I am fine with it. I solo I group I do many things, and if it was just a solo experience in a world I like no problem, entertainment has different value for different people.

They aren't telling you.
They are telling the developers.

How others wish to play is of little concern to you. You do not make the game. It isn't your money these players are spending. It is theirs and they have requests just like you.
