Saw a documentary yesterday about War Poets. Apparently Tolkien got some of his inspiration for LotR from the Battle of the Somme. Seems like Zenimax are doing the same for EsO, with large battles being just an inferno of indiscriminate killing. I'd like them to change course and bring ESO back to a basically high medieval setting with some magic, in which castles and foot-soldiers actually make sense. Severely restricting AoE magica would be a good first step. Instead it seems they're going to pile in even more magica to counter blobs. Somehow they're convinced the modern audience only enjoys games with high energy destruction on a large scale. Sadly, they may be right.
