    @Amsel_McKay:
    I just had a conversation on these forums that VR1 mobs and VR14 mobs are the same and should give the same experience and loot drops so I guess the player base does not know what it wants...

    You mean that they should be the same?

    If it's that, I agree. As of now, they're definitely different, if only in that they have more HP as their level increases.

    And, I guess, that's the ultimate point of the Champion System... but that's at least a month away from being reality, and I'm being generous in the estimation.

    No I think they are not the same but people think they should all drop the same loot (so they can farm) and have the same exp (so they can farm exp). If they are going to keep the level system VR1 - 14 they need to have different loot or no loot and less more more experience... A VR14 should not be able to get loot and grind experience on a VR1 mob

    I'm not seeing any announcement in game at the moment.

    Somebody should go check Reddit and report back what's going on. I would, but I've got to get back to my own testing because I don't work for ZOS and I can't push patches that don't work.

    The fix for that didn't make it for 1.5.3 http://www.reddit.com/r/elderscrollsonline/comments/2lv4io/patch_notes_v153_link_to_official_forums/clyf911

    Unbelievable that the answer to a basic is posted on reddit, but not the official forums. I would not object to posting it in both, but preference for that audience over the people using the Zeni tool is confusing.

    The patch not applying is really a stunning development.
    We said in our post last Friday that we are adjusting the XP you get from difficult quests, but do not currently have an ETA.

    Yet you could take the time to tell them it didn't make it.

    Im stunned that ZOS seemes to take this VR xp "bug" lightly. There is literarly no reason to level VR1-14 since it would take lightyears to gain 1 level. I waited patiently for a small week now hoping that they would fix the EXP by now, as it would seem the only logical thing to do. A major part of this game is gaining exp, especially for us who arnt VR14 yet. WHY in oblivion would I want to spend hours and hours every day (while my gf gets even more mad) when Im not getting any credit for it? Theres no point in playing now, and it's suposedly "ok" to wait even longer, without no ETA?

    This is a subscription game, not f2p. Time to man it up. Sorry for being so negative but I just keep losing it after all these patches it's the same story all over with new bugs introduced while old ones still remain at large.

    But no you just had to take away our exp :(

    "it's important to state that our decision to go with subscriptions is not a referendum on online game revenue models. F2P, B2P, etc. are valid, proven business models - but subscription is the one that fits ESO the best, given our commitment to freedom of gameplay, quality and long-term content delivery. Plus, players will appreciate not having to worry about being "monetized" in the middle of playing the game, which is definitely a problem that is cropping up more and more in online gaming these days." - Matt Firor

    Being pushed out of stealth when weapon swapping really screws up PvP on my Nightblade. So much that I opted not to even bother with it until it is fixed.

    Instead of Hot fixing it like any other MMO developer would have, you wait an entire week for the next patch in order to finally address it... and it doesn't even work?!

    Do we have to wait yet another week now?

    I don't want your Icewraith / Dwemer Orb pets for your loyalty program... the perfect loyalty reward would be to stop breaking fundamental game play every other week.

    Every patch, something major is broken. I am starting to think that it is just impossible for ZOS to handle maintaining this game in the long run.

    The sky isn't falling and there are many new players that i see often in the lower level areas like myself. Maybe it's time for guild recruiting/socializing and stocking components and such while this gets fixed. The biggest part of a successful MMO is the community. Content alone only goes so far because it's never fast enough without major time sinks that aggravate many players.

    You realize you didn't even understand his statement, right? You pointed to quest xp changing, and he was baffled by the fact that reddit, and not your official forums, has a response from you saying that things didn't take in this patch even though they're in the official patch notes.

    I am truly confused by this company and their constant miscommunication and lack of communication.

    I just checked the unofficial official ESO forums (aka Reddit) and nothing new has been posted apart from Gina's earlier statements about broken quest XP and missing audio cues.

    Oh my stars. You mean this patch was not even meant to address the XP faux pas for VR levels at all???? May I ask what the Hades you people are DOING over there? And with all the other things people are saying this patch DID NOT fix I am frankly afraid to even log in!
