    This is a game, not a competition, and not a job. Play for the fun of it. Anything you achieve is going to be temporary, and nothing you do in the game actually matters, because it's a game. You are supposed to enjoy the ride, not rush to the end.

    People who describe it as "pointless" to keep playing just because a future raise of the level cap was announced ought to focus more on the journey and less on the destination. The destination will probably always be a moving target. As a PC player, I'm disappointed that the new content has been delayed for so long, not that it's finally arriving. Having had the level cap stay put for so long is an anomaly, and I never expected my current VR14 gear to be the final piece of armor I would ever need.

    That VR16 gear, if you decide it's worth the effort to craft it, will not be the last gear you ever need either. Don't expect your leveling efforts and gear purchases so far to last for months or years ahead. Heck, it's doubtful whether the game will even be around in a year or two from now. Just try to have fun for as long as you feel it's worth the effort.

    lmao... not sure why you would do that knowing eso live was coming. also this is how MMOs work. gear gets out dated, what you expect them to just have v14 forever?

    I have been playing about 10 hours a day since ps4 launch and have only made it to VR3. How in the world did you play enough to get to VR14 without completely burning yourself out?

    I'm fine with vr16. Most of my gear is vr12 anyway, simply because they aren't available for higher levels. My wish is, that they might add vr15 or 16 versions of my favorite sets. That would be very nice. Fingers crossed #necropotencevr16

    Have to agree with the majority. Updates happen. They make the game. The experience more interesting. Skills get nerfed and characted builds get swaps around.

    If you're over it now, then things aren't looking promising for you.

    Simply put, you burned through the game too quickly. I probably played on the slow side, at 26 now, but I stop and smell the roses along the way (do all the content and explore every part of everything). My son has a lvl 35 but has more time in than me.

    Yea still not buying it. Im sure you crafted some sweet 8 trait gear too since this game doesn't have a research trait timer. Regardless your op reads like this. I rushed through a game ignoring all content and am now upset they are adding more things. Why doesn't a game cater to the 1% who can play 24/7 and hate rpg's.

    I crafted full hist bark it requires 4 traits (easy) and you seem to not be able to comprehend the point of my post if you think its troll. There is nothing to do right now but wait until vr16 content because all the rewards (DROPS) at the moment are vr14 which will be irrelevant with vr16 content and also barely anyone is vr14 anyway and even if they are their gear is nowhere near where it has to be for DSA and trials. My point is its too soon for console. is that too hard for you to comprehend?

    hist bark endgame gear lol. it takes 3.75 days to research 4 traits on 1 piece with max research points invested, so double that for a full set of hist bark and thats provided you get the traits on the gear you want staight away and unlocked all research traits 1 week in. yep still calling bs

    It's not a comprehension problem, it's a personality issue. You chose to buy a game with over 300 hours of pve content, skip all of it, complain about having nothing to do but wait for new vet gear. But please, enlighten me. If they weren't adding v16 what would you be doing? Wait better question. What can eso do to suit your unique needs? Wouldn't anything they added be blown through or ignored by you anyway?

    Eric said, they'll be adding new sets. And I'm not happy, since I know, that 1 set will deal extra damage against damage shields. Probably everyone will use it. Maybe not in open world, but I duel alot and you can just change gear before a duel and then it's going to happen......

    But I pray to Auri-El, they will level up a few sets, Necropotence is my dream. Imagine they would allows such dropped sets to have random traits O.o omg I would scream like a liddle school girl.

    To keep it civil friend let me just say this. From what I've read of your playstyle, no game in existence, even mmo's, can keep up with you. Your options are unfortunately to slow down or buy a new game every day. That's it.

    I don't want to do the dungeons and trials when they have vr14 drops whats the point they will be irrelevant

    Since you're a hardcore PSN player, can I assume you've played Destiny? Then you know that old gear always gets outleveled by the new stuff. Look at the drops from Vault of Glass compared to the basic armor you get in House of Wolves. HoW eats the raid sets alive. That is how MMOs operate; you enjoy what's there now with the knowledge that something in the future will be better. The only game I know of with a limitless gear ceiling is Diablo III (Seriously, the math adds to something like a billion hours of playtime to reach max level). Just because Bungie crumpled under the pressure from fans to allow old gear to level to current values doesn't mean everyone else will do so. Destiny is a shooter first "MMO" second. And shooter fans are more prone to immediate gratification. MMO fans know that's not how it works.

    What did you do in ESO? I'm 172 hours deep on the XBox one version and I've played every day for hours a day, and I'm only level 43. But I've maxed out some of my character's skill lines and collected more recipes and lorebooks than I care to count. It's my guess that you've missed a lot of the game. Don't avoid content because the future will weaken the rewards. Enjoy the dungeons and the puzzles and the lore. Make your character hunger for the lorebooks or skyshards or whatever. Because if you're going to play an MMO and be a gearfiend, you will be sorely disappointed at almost every turn.

    Actually there is a very good reason to do Dungeons and Trials, whilst they are still VR14 and that is because they are not all 'walks in the park'.....

    You will definitely benefit from learning some of the more complicated mechanics, so when VR16 hits you are not the only person in a 12 or 4 man group that hasn't a clue what they are doing. :)

    Gah I feel like such a white knight lately But wow man. V14 in less than a month. I kind of feel like the op was in jest to prove some point. If not...I can't take you seriously. At the rate you desribed leveling in eso you haven't slept in a month. And your crafting is maxed as well? No sir. I don't believe you. And if you are being honest, I suggest you find another hobby. You'll always be dissapointed with gaming. 300 plus hours of pve content in a few weeks...psh

    I grinded most vet levels it doesnt take long and with it crafting levels from deconstructing drops

    Its entirely possible, especially with ESO plus and xp pots. Ive done the same thing. The only problem you run into is research timers.
