Well, previously I would say "by the eight, no". But now... I couldn't care less. Sure, why not. Make whatever you want. IMO you can't disappoint players even more.

Oh I'm sure ZOS can come up with something. They seem to be pretty good at it.

You may want it not to be but your wanting doesn't make it not so.

How about the fact it does conflict with the "You won't be able to buy anything you can't get in game" promise, unless you know of an item that raises you to VR14 in one go.

Your choosing to add "in one go" is an irrelevance, because the 'thing' the money would buy is a VR14 character.

The MEANS isn't what the purchase price is paying for, it's the END RESULT and clearly THAT is available by in-game means.

Not everyone has time on their hands like you seem to have. I work aswell, and just like him my play time is pretty limited. It would help out after level 50 to be able to buy exp boosts.

If your play time is limited you won't get as far as players who invest more time into the game. And the circumstances of other players' available spare time do not matter at all. I hope that ZOS will never introduce such level skipping purchases as available in WoW.

I have limited play time as well due to a 9-5 job and my highest char is VR11. I'm absolutely happy with that and will work on progression whenever I've got the time. Should I never reach VR14, so be it; it's only a game.

Laugh it up, folks. Didn't you guys laugh when someone talked about ESO going B2P? Look where that got you. Honestly, as satirical as the OP may be, I would not doubt for a second that in the future ZeniMax Online could introduce a level boost in the Crown Store.

mcurley · January 2015

I'm in the same position as the OP. I have almost no time to play now that I'm a real person with a job and all and I really want to just push through to v14 so I can duel/pvp (which is why I got the game to begin with). I spend a lot of time theory crafting builds but I can't see myself being able to make these builds anytime soon because I have so much less time for gaming than I used to.

I also know that if I instantly get v14 I'm just going to be brutalized in Cyrodil over and over and will become frustrated with the game very quickly. Playing the game makes you good at it. The top players/pvpers/duelers got to where they are by playing a lot and learning everything they can about their characters and the game mechanics. Same as every game there has ever been.

It's probably going to take me a year or more to get to where I want to be in this game. But when I do, at least I'll be competitive.

TheBull · January 2015

I made a thread about this a few months ago. I'd pay 50$ for a v14 with 150 skill points w/o a second thought.

Compared to Cyrodiill, questing is way too boring and grinding is even worse. As things stand though leveling in Cyrodiil isn't really possible. So yeah I would.

Matter of fact I going to add it to the Crown store wish list now.

It takes to long time to level for people like me who work all day long...
i can't play every day, and when i can spare time i have around 2 hours playing time. I'm V4 and i will never reach V14, it starts getting booring to play because i know that i never will reach max level where the fun starts.

All i ask is; Would it be possible to give people the options to max level an charachter from no matter what level they are or from level restrictions as 50 / v1 to v14? Not for free but maybe though the Crown Store which comes soon or for money such as 50 euro or something like that.

Why do you think the fun only starts at max level? There are plenty of fun things you can do at V4.

My main alt is V4 now and I find myself playing her more than my main now because I'm thinking "she'll get XP from this". And I'm having fun refining my play with a sorc rather than a Nightblade.

MornaBaine · January 2015

As I've already said elsewhere...
No. Absolutely not. This should only be a possibility IF you have already leveled one character to VR14 the conventional way. THEN you should be able to purchase a level 50 character with the full skill points of its level and none of the skill points available via skyshard as it will be ridiculously easy to go get those yourself. I understand wanting to bypass questing over and over through the same quests. You want to get to end game. Fine. But once you are AT end game...you need to go through getting to the top tiers of it yourself. One assumes you want this in order to play other classes anyway. So learn the class and play the game.

Sure but with the caveat you have to wear clown shoes so the real players know your full of newbness.

^This guy gets it.

I'm a real person with a real job and a family as well. Guess what? I played the game and got the v14 title and working on a second and possibly a third. It can be done.

BBSooner · January 2015

Though I'm against both this and the XP boosts ... to play devils advocate:

Pretty sure it's been established by the powers that be that free XP is considered convenience - not p2w. Whether its an XP boost or an XP purchase approval of one should elicit tacit approval of the other.

It fits all the requirements:

Provides convenience for those who don't have the time to "keep up".

Provides nothing that doesn't already exist in game (XP can be found on every corner of Tamriel).

How can you "win" at leveling anyway - it's a time sink and has been argued that "time != skill != winning != something that matters".

They could even tie it to a requirement that the player must kill a single mob to receive it. It would be a "+X% XP boost" where X is the % needed to reach level cap.

The OP is not asking for an Xp boost (which, btw, you'd get as a plus subscriber post-1.6). He asked to skip levels entirely.

Yes, I must have so much time, with my V11 main and my single level 18 alt. Lol.

I simply don't think that the amount of time I have to play should allow me to skip through the leveling process. Or anyone else, either. How selfish of me.

Btw, my husband works a full time job and has like four v14s. We have two kids, ages 3 and 4, to which he is quite attentive. So, yeah. I don't buy it.

Play less, progress less.

Lukati_K · January 2015

Hundreds of thousands of others, every day, have the same "real jobs" and "real lives". How we all choose to fill our 24hrs/day is up to each of us, but don't count your RL choices and their consequences on your available time as justification towards being able to buy your way through the game.

Just suck it up, and realize, "If what I was aiming for was more time to play games, I have been making some horrible decisions."

Akiho · January 2015

Whilst I don't agree with being able to buy vr1-vr14 I'd love to buy 0-50 , as this game is no different from any other mmo iv played and it's incredibly boring leveling from 0-50 and around 100 hours I'd prefer to spend in dungeons and cyrodil playing with friends instead of solo leveling from point a to b and so on. Sadly this is a part of mmo's that will probably never change.

Also I don't consider this time as getting to learn my class, mmo classes are not that hard to learn.

Desdemonte · January 2015

Okaaaaaay... Purchase a game, and then pay more to *not* play it......

Sounds like a great deal for ZOS.

Beerbill · January 2015

Time = Money
If you can't use your time to grid vet 14 you should be able to use your money, right?

daswahnsinn · January 2015

Can I get godmode for PVP? I just to not have to try hard and don't want to enjoy the game.

Really, just play the game, vet ranks will be gone in june/july so you sohuld have the time. But it's not that big of a deal, if you like the game play it, grind it out. That's what everyone did and does.

On the note if you have the money, I should be able to by it. Well if that's going to be the case I'm gonna be OP in the game, because I have time and money. Open the cash shop and let me the ol mighty OP. WTFO grow up.

If you sub or use the xp boost available after Relaunch, it will be a little quicker. Wait and see.

SIN-X · January 2015

I don't see this happening at least not until a massive expansion but if it did you can expect players like me to force certain achev links or go on about your biz

Morshire · January 2015

Now this has got to be the most hysterical, ROTFLMFAO moment, and the saddest news yet, all wrapped up in one pretty bow. I am against this in more ways than one. However, everyone says that it won't happen in this game. Look right here and see exactly the threads that will begin to come into the forums, and watch the game changes that come from it. ZOS cannot, IMO, justify the sub at this moment and where do you think that is going to make them turn for revenue?
Look, I work 60+ hours at a "real" job, and I went from VR6 to almost VR10 in my "weekend". I don't even get your couple of hours a night (14+ hour days at work or traveling to work) and I did it. The buy end game character is a symptom of todays "consumer" mentality. We buy everything that makes our lives "easier" why not in the game too?

Surely the END RESULT for a game is not the level, but the fun you have.

But I refute that the "in one go" is an irrelevance, that's the whole point of what you are asking, otherwise the answer would be "just play the game man".

I get that a lot of people don't have loads of spare time, but skipping the levelling process is not a good way to go for any game, otherwise why have levels (or attributes you can increase, skill points to invest).

Lynnessa · January 2015

I'm VR9 and I've had plenty of fun so far. Granted, I still like to run four-man dungeons for the fun of it and now that I'm on Cadwell's Gold (the Gold is the Pact lands for me) I'm finally in zones that make me go "whoa, cool!". But I doubt I'll reach VR14 before March 17 either...

I don't know if it's a good idea to sell max-level characters. I really don't have anything against it, other than if a brand new player does that they will have no idea how to use their character.

If you are bored in-game and want to hang out, hit me up. We'll run a dungeon, or I'll show you that a group of lower-rank characters can do just fine in non-instanced Craglorn.

Emencie · January 2015

Oh hell yes!

After 2 vet characters I would buy this in a heartbeat it it were priced reasonably.

I personally don't feel leveling is important to end game, It teaches you none of the skills you need to succeed at PvP or end game PvE. Hell my second character used 1 build, 1 weapon and 3 skills from about level 10 all the way through vets.

Gather mobs
burn them down
Gather mobs

Such engaging gameplay...

Pay to skip the grind. Yes please.
