I say NO because in my opinion its already a *** to get a group in craglorn or imperial city as it is.Until this game can field groups for that content in mass or close to it I can't really get on board with more raids/group content.

Still a little fuzzy on what you mean or really want. But the raiding in this game is considered end game content. This doesnt mean you need gold gear or the most effecient set up. What it does mean is that you must have the competency and vr14+ gear, along with 3/11 other players to complete the content by learning the mechanics and continuously improving yourself. In terms of progression in terms of player skill;it is always there, until you maybe get into top guilds but then even there you are geting better. In terms of gear, the should have the mobs, chests, and weeklies scale to vr16.

I like the fact that I don't have to do tons of raiding to still be able to get the best gear in the game. I've done waaaaaaay too much progressive raiding in other games to welcome it in ESO. Trials is as close as I want large scale pve raiding to become.

Trials to date have had an interesting relationship with gear and other play styles. Of the actual final boss, special gear drops, only a few have actually been BiS for any particular trial build. 4 pieces of the original Aether set (during the days of v12 max and dynamic ult.) was a must for the caster DK trying to get extra crits to build the next standard. The Two-Fang Snake set was good as 2-piece rings for the few stamina users of the time. The "improved" sets from Sanctum Ophidia aren't really BiS for anything. The Infallible Aether set does have some group functionality, but it's worthless for more that one person to run any of the set, and only 3 pieces is needed to get the added spell pen. The Vicious Ophidian set is fun for grinding, but outside of that, it's pretty worthless; at it's release is was like a better Hundings, but it was nerfed several times.

Now, other gear set that drop from trash and the lesser bosses can actually be worthwhile (or it could before the cap increases). Silks of the Sun, Warlock, Skirmisher, Dreugh King Slayer, Unassailable, Storm Knight, and others have been used in common builds for plenty of activity outside of trials. Likewise, many of the BiS pieces for use in trials have been from PvP (see the 1.5/1.6 hawk/morag bow build).

No, I like that there is usually many different ways to get good gear.

I'm not a huge fan of raids and dungeons so it bugs me that a lot of games out there I basically hit a wall when I get to end game...

Progression raiding should be just one of many ways to earn end game gear...

This is essentially my viewpoint as well. I mean, it is more than ok for there to be difficult group content with good gear as a reward, but it shouldn't be the ONLY way. And it certainly shouldn't become paramount in the game given the wide variety of players the game now hosts.

I disagree with you. Although you may not have the time to put in effort to raid there are many people who do. Just because you're unable to do the content dosent mean it shouldn't be there. End game content is like hard but suppose to be rewarding it gives that little extra juice to keep playing. Along with it being fun it brings 10/12/20 players together to defeat a boss together. There is going to be plenty of solo content avaliable if that's your thing but consider the game as a whole not just your own perspective

I'm probably going to sound dumb,but may I ask what "progression raiding" is? :}

I have the same question. no idea what it means

Its basically doing trials to get gear and working through them slowly because they are challenging

My boyfriend and I bought this game because it didn't have progressive raiding.
We bought it to replace GW2 now that they introduced raiding.
I hate it.
I hate the set schedule you have to have (which is hard when you have a second shift job, or a job where you bounce between shifts, or when you don't have a set dedicated time that you can play, but guilds require that 90% of the time).
I hate guilds.
I really hope this game doesn't add progressive raiding.


Edit: I'd be perfectly okay with progressive raiding if you could still get the best gear outside of raids, through a harder/more time consuming way. As long as there's a way to get it other than raids, I'm all for progressive raiding for other people. It's when the best stuff is locked behind that massive raiding system that I can't stand it. We tried WoW but couldn't get into raiding because we hated everything about it, but we like to be able to get the best stuff, no matter how hard it is/time consuming it is to get. There should be craftable options that don't require raiding.

GW2 Raids are not even out yet....

It seems to me like you're just not interested in it for the same reason most other people are not, time. You're forgetting that this an MMO its not suppose to be where everyone can get gear easily its supposed to be difficult through raids that include rich lore.
