So what do I do? (Solo Player here)

Once update 5 lands, you'll only need around 1 million Vet Points/Exp points to gain a Vet Rank (instead of the current 5 million), so you can level up a lot faster... but Craglorn is an Adventure Zone, specifically made for groups. It's not possible to do it solo. It sucks, but that's how it is.
I wish it were solo too, since grouping for quests is absurdly long (all anyone does is grind, Trials or Arena) and it can take weeks to find a group for the quests. I just ignore it and PvP.

I think one thing you need to take into account is that ESO is still fairly new on the MMORPG scene; other games like WoW and LoTRO have had quite a few years to mature with numerous patches. Patience is key here. I would love to see more content for PvE and RP but I also understand the need for more PvP content.

I don't mind doing dungeons every once in a while, I am more the explorer and the gatherer and the "treat this like any other ESO game and take my sweet time"

But with Craglorn and all its glory - I am told I can only reach vr 10 with out grouping for Craglorn.

So .... What do I do? I will not group for Craglorn, I refuse to group for a zone, I believe in grouping for dungeons, raids and world bosses but not for zones. I believe that ESO should have been like other - yes Ill name it - games like WOW, where you can quest to x level THEN GROUP to do end game content.

Some can and have argued that Craglorn is essentially a giant dungeon. Others have compared it to a Raid.

Regardless - if you don't do it, you cannot get to vr 14, people are telling me - quit your b!t#$ing and do PVP, there are quests there. I would, But I don't like PVP.

Others tell me "This is an MMO, Grow and group or GTFO" But the title carries so much more then just MMO, ES games are inherently Solo.

The point I am trying to make is this: I'll group for Dungeons, Ill group for Raid, Ill group for end game content - I will not group to gain levels. I will not group to do a zone. I will not group because I am forced to, in order to do a quest.

I will how ever group to do dungeon quests, raids, world bosses, anchors, really hard quests I cannot seem to figure out on my own.

Questions:

- Why are you forcing me to group to explore a new zone?
- Why are you forcing me to group to do non dungeon specific, non raid specific quests
- Why are you forcing me to group to gain levels? - No other MMO does this.

Whats a Vr10 Templar, who's not a healer - DPS for the win - Suppose to do? What was Zenimaxes logic behind this?

I hate to group as well. when V14 1st came out I solo'd both lower and upper crag and got maybe 10% of lvl 12-13 in 4 hours. I bit the bullet and found a Anomoly Group (probably the easiest thing in the game to group on) and gained the 90% needed for 13 and 100% needed for 14 in one sitting...about 7 hours. I would strongly recommend you do that..extremely easy.
