Okay it's a game, not a job. Noob might have been more appropriate, I actually work 50 hours a week to afford this gaming PC. I'm anything but entitled.
I basically acknowledge, I'm a noob. I love ESO. It's a beautiful game. I just don't understand, what am I supposed to do with the thing?
What do you do at VR for fun that also offers progress?

I'm not having any real performance problems in Cyrodiil as long as it remains connected. My guess is you're either playing on an old processor with not enough CPU cache for so many players, an old GPU that just can't handle the sheer number of textures (I have played on a Core2Duo GTX460 through a i5-4670-K 760 on this game) a slow internet connection; or one that is geographically not ideal (in which case, you should just accept your loss and move on, there are games you can play).

I dunno. Maybe play the game like the rest of us did? Complete the quests/zones for cadwell's silver/gold? Do the Craglorn group content? Work on achievements?
A word of warning, though. The champ system is launching next year and all vet XP you gain now will be thrown in the trash when that launches and make you equal to a fresh level 50 so if you progress now it will only benefit you temporarily until it's removed later. If you complete cadwell's silver/gold content it will be used up and you won't be able to earn champion points from it later (huge XP loss). You are better off working on an alt that is pre-50 or canceling and coming back later IMO.
I never did that. Not even silver. I leveled through Cyrodiil. I twas different though in the beginning. All of us out there were leveling. Since then I've tried to level atleast 4 different toons multiple times. I didn't come for the quests though. I came for pvp and skills drenched in ESO lore.[...]

I've seen the assumption that the quest XP opportunities will be lost. That's an assumption. They could address this somehow. Let's wait and see?

Hindsight is clearly rosy for you. Most players aren't soling V1 dolmens the moment they hit V1. Unquestionably solo isn't the fastest way to do any of the content in the game by any definition; unless you're bad at agreeing which arrow you're chasing; in either case the game needs better grouping tools.

Actually, no. It was much faster for me to solo. The more people you add the more complicated it gets as to who needs what quests completed and then nobody has the same quests completed so you end up doing things twice (not saying there is anything wrong with grouping but it's not as efficient time-wise).

They keep saying veterans will still have ways of gaining XP, but even if they increase rewards for activities that currently aren't an effective way of levelling up, the fact remains that they're all group and/or PvP content. Aside from mob grinding, Cadwell's quests are the only thing you can do solo.

How much time does that take. Why do that alone in a massively mutliplayer game, when you could just spend the same time playing a multiplayer game and actually have meaningful interaction the entire time?

It doesn't take any time at all. It's not hard. I didn't say you *shouldn't* group with other people but the bulk of that leveling content is easily completed solo so it's just more efficient to do it solo.
I'm not saying you shouldn't group with anyone. By all means do it but you don't *need* others to complete most of it. I did group for some of the content like world bosses but I didn't go out of my way to find people or wait for them. I prefer more challenging group content which you will get from 4 man dungeons and Craglorn.
Okay so, I played for months. I enjoy the game. One of the reasons I bought the game and love it is for the PvP.
Originally, the PvP was advertised as being a level playing field, scaling players of different levels. Of course, that isn't the case. So I guess I need to be VR1014 to be max level? At least half way there maybe, VR7 to be "competitive" against the widest array of players- at least stat wise? I mean, you can never counter everything; but losing just because someone has 400 hours grind worth of health more than me feels ***.
So how am I supposed to play the game? Am I supposed to play hundreds more hours of PvE quests? Is there really no faster way to level up? I want to try the new content that was added.
How do I do that? There are 0 players in my VR1 zone. I have played 8+ hours since I resubbed and I have not seen a single other player. The content is so easy it's boring, but the enemies are all damage sponges; making every quest take AGES unless I avoid every mob I can. Then, when I finish them I get 1/30th of a VR level at most?
No continuing the sub. I might try back in a few months, but this is terrible. Weapons are still disappearing when I swap them, occasional disconnects and both times I tried to play PvP a major de-synch happened after spending minutes to ride to the battle.
Also what the *** is up with light armor? All abilities still use magic, and the only good way to build magic regen is to wear light armor, so basically every player not doing stamina crit is wearing at least 5 light? Still?
