Stealth Nerf Grind

✭✭✭
So with the latest patch Rkund was stealth nerfed from 20k xp to 1800xp.
I'm not complaining, I just don't see how an instanced dungeon disrupts other players like the Scorpion grind did.
My point of this thread though: ESO has some really creative players, if someone finds a new awesome grind spot. Instead of sharing it in the forums or in zone, can we come up with a way to let players know WITHOUT letting ZOS know?
Tricky I know but "LFG VR GRIND" will only keep getting stuff nerfed.
They read the Reddit forums too. So open to ideas.

I wonder if having lots of duos constantly zoning in and out of an instance, disbanding, making new instance, etc. was contributing to system lag. Maybe not; maybe they just didn't like how cheesy it was.

✭✭✭✭✭Its actually a very poor decision on zenimax to keep nerfing the grinds, the only people using the grinds at this point are players with multiple max level characters, giving them more playability in different factions or classes. Nerfing the grind will force them to play the extremely dull and boring quest system that this game has. Which will reduce the playability from those players and they will end up quitting or something along the lines.
It may be a good idea to stop nerfing your game as we dont want to do the dull questing a thousand times over

Odds are they're preparing for 1.6. The idea is that everything should be equal, so they don't want grinding to yield more CP than any other in-game activity. Hopefully, it encourages people to actually play the game.----

If that's true: So, we can't quest to reach vr 14 because we won't get credit for the xp if we're already at capped CP, grinding is yet again being nerfed, PVP is broke(and has nothing to do with *** deer to start with), it's like they want us all to unsub until after 1.6.

You're not going to keep people hanging onto subs by forcing them to level via questing.
