MMO´s these days are build in such a way, that many feel that only max level content matters. This is then usually supported by the fact that only there you can gain specific perks, items or amounts of gold.

ESO isn't any different there.

We can not gain CP´s, highend gear or huge amounts of gold & resources as a level 1-49. There is no treasure that might await us after a quest in the second zone or anything. Besides that, content updates (Craglorn) only aimed at max level players, so that some people might feel they miss out if not maxed out when it hits.

What we also have to factor in is, that anything you do below max level, seems like a non important story element. We don't suddenly get a house from an NPC, a house we might still live in at VR2. We also don't find a companion that joins us or gain reputation with factions & NPCs.

Its all about just getting it done, nothing really stays - items get swapped every few levels, NPC´s come and go - only a few stay for more than a zone, its kind of sad somehow.

As for me, I no longer rush anything in games - they can add as many Craglorns or CP systems as they want, I keep my pace and level slowly Even if a bow I find is just like any other, I make it a special one, just for me and in my head

I actually regret reaching VR with my Sorc. Non-vet Pvp is such a blast at any level while Vet pvp seems to only be entertaining for people at VR14 WITH a plethora of Champion Points.

Unfortunately, if you're interested in PvP, you need to be max level to attempt to be on equal footing. That doesn't include CPs which imbalances things even further than level and build.

Some people opt to continually reroll new characters to play nonvet PvP, but personally I think that's lame. That said, with IC coming, not sure how much better vet PvP will be.
