    *** are you guys on about. You have to grind to Vr14 to wear more powerful gear. You have to grind your skill line levels up to use more powerful skills. You have to run around getting skyshards to morph to more powerful skills. You have to grind dungeons to get more powerful gear. EVERYTHING IN THIS GAME IS REWARDED FOR TIME. Yet everyone wants PvP skills to be easily obtainable? Hell no. I want to be able to simply make a new toon template and PvP instantly as a Vr14 without grinding, but that's never going to happen.

    I hate grinding as much as the next person, but every single damn game has grinding, especially ESO, whether it's grinding exp for levels or grinding AP for skills.

    And no. People in zergs do not get the most AP. AP in zergs is utter ****. When you see someone with a high rank its because they run around with 10-15 people not 40-50.

    Sure, they can move vigor down to rank 5, but they SHOULD make a new rank 10 skill to replace it. What breaks a game is when you DON'T get rewarded for hard work, not when you can't achieve something simply because you don't have the time.

    1. Assault/Support rank 10 already is a longer great than there is for any other skills in the game.
    2. Yes, you can get more AP in groups of 12-16 if you focus on that than someone running in a 24 man group. But that does not mean the ones in the larger groups don't get many AP when theyÄre farming, it just gives them a way to earn their ranks with even less skill requirement.

    It's a longer grind sure. But it's a grind like any other. Saying that one shouldn't be rewarded for time is silly. There should always be something at the top of that grind to strive to achieve, if not, then its pointless. People wanted vigor at rank 5, and they're getting it. Now they need to put in a replacement for the people that actually put in the time.

    And I laugh. People cried to get Vigor down to rank 5, but no one complained about Guard. YOU GUYS DIDN'T WANT AN EASIER GRIND. YOU JUST WANTED AN OP SKILL SERVED TO YOU ON A SILVER PLATTER.

    Pls no.

    The required rank to unlock Vigor is just being decreased in the next update. Why would we want to a) add another important skill that only a minority of the playerbase may ever use or b) adding a useless skill for nothing?

    And we really don't need anymore passives right now, tyvm.

    Why make it easier? make everything harder! People work hard for there pvp rank why not be rewarded for it? Why does the skill have to be useless? What about a pvp negate or a a giant circle which increases stamina recovery for everyone in the area for 5second. Make them both cost a huge amount obviously and clearly these are just things I made up on the spot, with time useful skills could be thought out.

    Yah to encourage zerg guild blob that they farm AP in tower resources.

    oh cool another bad@ss who thinks he's superior to everyone because a group of 4 is giant to him... get over yourself

    Keep zerging.

    keep trying to make yourself look better by saying negative things about the way others play a video game lol :)

    *I* wanted a fair playing field. And I certainly don't like any grinding whatsoever. Why not reward players with some cosmetics or horizontal progression. Why do you want to make balance even worse by adding new powerful skills to (only) those who are already powerful or play in a way that makes the game less fun for others?
    And yes, I don't see why anyone should be rewarded for "time". I don't think you always can or have to prevent that, but it's certainly nothing I would strive for in the designing of this game.

    Everyone has access to high level abilities as long as they put the time required to get them into it. That is fair. No one ever said that certain people are not allowed to get to Assault/Support rank 10, its not class specific, race specific, alliance specific, it doesn't cost crowns, you don't even need gold.

    The balance you speak of is found one place in ESO. On the PTS where you can make a template toon. Why do we even bother PvPing on the live servers anymore when we can all just play templates on PTS

    I feel a lot of the people complaining that new skills would be hard to get have never played another mmo. Most stuff in the game is easily achievable. Once you hit level 24 there is no point pvping on a toon anymore other then dyes or title. Im mearly asking for the inclusion of something useful. Also yes I don't support account wide pvp ranks (alliance wide I support though)

    If they did make new pvp skill we would just hear even more QQ from PvErs and ZoS would immediately rush to make it so you have to play 2 hours of pvp to get them.

    The skill lines to get every single last Alliance War passive and active max out at a small fraction of the alliance points that Alliance Ranks are awarded up to (Rank 50). This has been a longstanding complaint of mine... I'd like to see smaller increases/passives/less-globally-useful skills added as additional milestones and carrots for exceptional PVP'ers/dedicated PVP'ers who reach higher AP totals.

    Vigor is supposed to be a group skill but it is mostly used by solo gankers. Strange.
