For people that have complete it at least once on their account, pls!
Grinding to VR14 is already punishment enough, that having to do the main storyline quest more than once feels like I've done something terribly wrong in a previous life to get this kind of punishment.
I'll gladly live without the skill points you get from the quests.. and they can even keep Soul Assault !

Thunder✭✭✭I totally agree, brother. It's not just the worst aspect of ESO, it's the worst aspect of any MMORPG I've ever played. Let me quote myself from another thread...Consider for a moment if instead of 10 VR levels they'd simply capped characters at 50, yet still allowed players to travel to the other factions to quest. If you think like the developers then the first thought that popped in to your head was...
"Why would anyone quest through the other factions if they weren't forced to?"
EXACTLY!!!!! Why do you want to force players to do something you already know they don't want to do? This is a game! It's meant to be fun, it's not a side job for extra Xmas money.
If you're trying to come up with ways to force players to play your game, you're doing it wrong.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Technically, I didn't think you HAD TO do Cadwell's at all, I thought there were other means- PvP, Craglorn and such in order to level. However, this IS an MMO and grinding is the means of leveling and is not the worst means in any way compared to other MMOs. Try DCUO, where the ONLY way to level is by repeating the SAME EXACT missions over and over and over again, just to gain gear so you can repeat this process when the next DLC comes out.
Also, Cadwell's was not even a part of the original plan, but because of the LONG delay in console launch and so many PC players having nothing to do, they added this feature to give players a way to continue questing with their main character. But not everyone hates questing, some of us love it and wish they had more; can't wait for Orsinium!
In fact, I've only reached Cadwell's Silver on my main but haven't pursued any missions there yet, instead, I've gone back to work on other alts and all my alts are in the AD and I've tried numerous alts to get a feel for the character, class, etc... which means I've repeated the AD quests at least 10+ times in the past couple of months and I still enjoy running them.CP: 2105 ** ESO+ ** ~~ ***** Strictly a solo PvE quester *****

I get that.. alas I'm not one of them... although I have to admit I sort of thought the quests were ok when levelling my first character to VR14 (did it via questing).
But after doing a gazillion quests, I now much prefer to just grind it out, which went ok getting to VR6, but now everything in PvE lands is too low level to grind, so either I join the rest of the server in CWC or drag (yes DRAG) myself through Cadwell's Silver, so I can find a spot that still gives ok XP for my level.
Or just give up and delete some characters so I can play some more BWB...
About that last bit, ZOS pls add extra character slots to the crown store!

Sorry totally disagree. First of all you're not forced at all, go grind or pvp or do dungeons. I actually liked being sent to the other zones to quest. I didn't want to have to roll up another toon in another faction just to see those zones, pretty much the best mmo to date in this aspect. I'm in no rush to vr14 and wish there were 4 more zones to do to get me there. Now I'm forced to grind to get my last 3 levels.1

✭✭✭✭It's supposed to eventually be open access once you complete the main line quest, without the need for the linear progress.Just because you don't like the way something is doesn't necessarily make it wrong...
Earn it.
IRL'ing for a while for assorted reasons, in forum, and in game.I am neither warm, nor fuzzy...

To use your own words: "you're not forced at all, go pvp or do dungeons"
See what I did there?
Anyway giving people that have completed it once on their account the ability to go to Silver/Gold without redo-ing the main quest, doesn't take away the possibility to still do it for those that DO want to play it through again.
