From the players who have "too much AP" to ZOS

✭✭✭✭✭I completely agree, the AP issue has been a bit of a thorn in the sides of PvPers for quite a while. I don't know if it's a design direction issue or what, but it also seems like their efforts to reach out to PvPers and talk about the issues never actually leads to changes. It's not that there's no communication, there's been a ton of guild meetings. It's just those meetings seem to be more like announcements, as opposed to conversations.Men'Do PC NA AD Khajiit

Dreyloch✭✭✭✭✭When enough of the PvE raiding guilds have had their fill on beating lackluster trail raids. Have gotten sick of making alts, and have decided to man up and come to Cyrodiil, only to get stomped relentlessly and start to complain? Then and only then will PvP get the attention that it needs."The fear of Death, is often worse than death itself"2 -
Sureshawt✭✭✭✭I'm overall happy with the direction of the game and I'm also glad they don't listen to the 1%. I want the game the game to stay as casual friendly as possible.
The only issue that prevents me from re-subbing or spending in the crown store is performance. Everything else I can deal with by adjusting and adapting.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Commenting just to support Crowns request for a statement from ZOS. Also here to laugh at the fact that while ZOS claims they moved the thread about Fengrush's video off "general discussion" because it was "PvP related" and then closed it because of personal attacks, they are now CENSORING any attempts to link the video on any post.
The video ITSELF is actively getting censored. Not just a thread or a comment about the video. Mods, have you ever heard of the Streisand Effect? Please educate yourself.0 -

I don't think ZOS is really giving hardcore raiders what they want either. The target audience seems to be ultra casuals who buy DLC collector editions and convenience items, playing ESO in between other games. I see this game turning into a combination of Skyrim Online and The Sims.
I mean no disrespect to ultra casual players. My beef isn't with this audience, but the fact that ZOS is neglecting audiences it previously courted. ZOS leadership seems to have poor ethics. Mrs. Firor, if such a person exists, should be wary!Edited by zyk on March 18, 2016 9:36PM1 -

✭✭✭✭✭In the last ESO live, a statement was made regarding the reasons for not making *good* gear available for AP.
The primary reason was that you didn't want those of us with "too much AP" to get things right away.
We're a few days into the patch, and we have it anyway - because we make a LOT more AP than most.
The result, there are now about 20 of us in each faction with the new set(s) that everyone wants in min/max configurations, upgraded to gold.
I had no idea they thought this would work.
Only way to actually stop people from getting stuff too fast are locks (raid locks in PvE for instance), or a strict hard cap per day of whatever currency is being metted out (RFTW in this case.)
Without that anything they try to do accomplishes nothing.
If that's the goal anyway. Not so sure it should be.0 -
JDar✭✭✭✭✭I think ZoS has the "Everybody gets a trophy" mentality...the most undeserving people run around looting urns and doing pretty tame PvE content at no risk and get all kinds of valuable motifs, while PvP'ers who take on the most difficult content in the game -- battling other human beings -- get the shaft. There is no merit involved.1

Matt actually pretty much confirmed your statement:
