This is a very bad poll.


Because there is no evidence that they care about anyone.

casual players can't get the gear because it's hard
And "elite" is being ignored in terms of game balance etc

There have been many Kings of certain countries, in the past, who have had better gear than their heroes. They have purchased this gear or have had it made for them. This is a more realistic situation, and I'm not saying that this should be the case. But this is a game. How is it where only ppl who are able to complete this content, either be it by great skill or the fact that living closer to the server making it easier to get it, fair? I will probably lose every time anyway but at least it would be nice to say it wasn't due to the gear unavailable to me. I know that in real life too, that some cultures had to fight against others who had better gear, and so be it. But it was still available for those who have the better gear to sell to those who didn't. Why am I not allowed to argue for the right to buy? Your saying I should put up with it and not try any avenue I can? Sometimes the use of words when losing a battle may be the only hope, and in a rare occasion, might just work. ;P

I am very successful in real life and just want to enjoy a game creating new characters and experimenting with different possibilities. BOP limits fairness and possibility. Show off the magnificent achievements with great costumes and create level a playing field is what I'm saying.

Because the great weapons are only available bind on pick up to pll who can manage to complete Maelstrom arena, giving ppl who can complete it access to these weapons and no one else who may want to buy and cant do it, gives these players an unfair advantage so proving they only care about elite players.

So doing something the many can't do shouldn't be rewarded? That doesn't sound right, that sounds like everyone should get the gold star of participation. The weapons really aren't that good anyways, have you tried them on PTS? Also what would you think the price would be if they were hard to get and BoE? Remember the Rings of Agility and how the prices of those went up over 500K? I'm sorry but if Maelstrom weapons were BoP you would have still made this thread just with different context.

Stop asking for everything on a silver platter. Why do some people just want everything without working for it.

You are basically suggesting P2W or that the best items in game should be sell-able with no discernible level of skill required to getting the best gear in game. Where's your progression? Your Reward?

@ShadowDisciple I'm not a new player just not very good. sorry if I'm not as good as you but if we useless players didnt play you would have no one to beat up

thats soo wrong dude...twisting my word completely...im just saying only hard content in this game is VMA...everything else is easily achievable for everyone if they really want to put in the practice.. noone is useless.

and your question wasnt if you are good or not...you asked if zos caters to elites oor casuals.. and this game is preety casual..i dont think it caters to anyone really, but if i had to pick..it would be casuals (as it should)

p.s. im not a very good player xD...at least not in pvp. pve is easier so i manage to get by

Yeah sorry I agree my question wasn't very good. I didnt expect such quick responses as soon as put up to tell you the truth. Became too late to change.

Mate, what build do you run, and are you referring to Monster sets as well as Maelstrom weapons?

Well really it all should be bind on equip and ppl who are brilliant should get magnificent costumes so the game remains fair for all. I wont get into the argument of which gear is best or not thats another issue. or even titles as you do in cyrodiil. anywho ive said my piece now and im very pissed (drunk)

No you should be rewarded there are many ways to reward someone, and even if it is with these weapons useless or fantastic, BOP is the problem. I could argue that these great ppl who can get through this very difficult content, are being shafted because they cant sell their well earned reward. Once they have their well earned reward what incentive do they have to redo it again once they have all the rewards available? none its just decon rubish. Let the market decide the price. If the gear is not that great no one will buy it anyway. Some ppl enjoy the game by just trading. Whats wrong with that? Variety is the spice of life.
Hey look I like the arguments being made tonight by most ppl. Its great. I would not have made mine if I didn't like the game in the first place. But the best games are the ones that have the most level playing field, and no Im not saying that all abilities should be homogenized, the use of combos combined with skills (which i am sadly lacking) should be where its at.

This is true and everyone has been outraged by the BoP system with the last DLC. I would say the economy would have been better and would have been thriving still if BoP wasn't used to the extreme that it has been done. I like hard solo content and even harder group content, but when it comes down to rewards ESO/ZoS have always been on the low side, to the point were it's sad.

I was not trying to read like I was attacking your point, but a lot of players have been overly needy lately with wanting something for free or close to it. The more QQ'ing we have in this game the more ZoS will listen and if the QQ'ing isn't constructive then the game changes will be destructive.

If you deserve it, you will earn it. If not, then don't cry because you can't buy it, you just probably won't know how to use it anyway.

Did he just get wrecked or what?
Epic reply!

The game is certainly casual friendly.

However, the higher end stuff is "how much play time" friendly.

I guess that's not too unreasonable... personally I haven't set foot in Maelstrom arena and barely into dragonstar arena and don't do any pve raids because it's just a bit too time consuming all in all; I don't even do the undaunted dailies for the same reason.

Thing is, I'm ranked relatively high enough in pvp and have no competitive disadvantage even with a somewhat limited play schedule. This is a good thing, a really good thing. Just because I might not be free to log in every day doesn't particularly effect my ability to have fun in pvp and be competitive at it.

The only thing past all that is that if you want to best of everything in ESO... you will need to be a full time player (or at least putting in full time hours in the course of a week). I don't think that is too unreasonable a thing if that's your thing.

If they cared, they would have not allowed people to transfer PC characters to whatever system.
