Lately I'm having trouble finding groups to run dungeons, especially the ones from the new DLC. I previously had no difficulty finding people in guild chat and Mournhold was full of people. But for a few weeks there seems to be significantly less people in town and in guilds too. There is less dialogue on chat. Are they scared of the dungeons? Is it some sort of seasonal change in late summer? I've only been playing since October so I don't know what was happening this tame last year.

Hum , d'ont know , but on my guild , we take a break . in 1 month ... all HL people did these dungeon with 100% of sucees , and 100% of reward ... but as you know ( or not ? ) they are very easy because they are for PVP boy because they are PVP stuff in . so ... now for PVE boy the game is boring ... still raid to do but ...we have 2 month to wait before the Next update .

Also, if you are in the Silver and Gold Instances, the zones tend to be emptier. And, the players who are in the zones are just there getting through the content or farming. One Tamriel should help with this.

August is always a quite month for online games, and now we in the UK at least are finally enjoying Summer weather (or enduring it in the case of those like me who dislike heat and humidity) it's not surprising that people are doing other things.

That said, while I've been playing less than usual because of the weather, whenever I have been in the game there have been plenty of other players around as usual. I don't do groups, guilds or PvP so cannot speak for those activities, but just generally in the cities and open world including dolmens etc there seem to be plenty of players about.

I'm stuck in vet today. Really hard to find people who don't die like flies. Did it the 2nd day it came out. On hard mode. Last week could barely find a group competent enough to finish on normal mode, after 4 hours. That's why I'm complaining about the lack of people

Maybe I should take a break too. I've just taken about 6 days off in the previous 11 months

Most of our guild has left, I don't play as much either.

Plenty of noobs around to pug through dungeons though.

Legion is about to be released soon aswell, and while many ESO players hate WOW, many ESO players also like WOW and will play it. The release of a new expansion by Blizzard will affect the overall population of PC users. That's just how it is. Nothing to worry about however.

For example, I still play ESO at the moment, but I play less. And I'll be playing Legion, and so my activity in ESO will be more sparce.

i personally havent been on cause long loading screens seem to be back and it's offputting

3 months on, and people haven't learned the SotH dungeons:
- on Monday I struggled with 4 different PuGs in VCoS, because they failed every mechanic possible, even when I explained them in detail. 3 hours wasted in total.
- on Wednesday spent 2 hours at Xal-Nur because people still weren't able to put that spice in the spring despite the boss and the trolls being safely taunted in the center. Actually spent like 30 minutes before going in dungeons searching for people.
People don't want to learn the mechanics and don't want to run those dungeons. I've wasted my crowns on that DLC, not because I can't play, but because others can't.

I'm not using group finder anymore since it's buggy - sometimes auto-disbands without reason - and most people I get have even lower skill than the ones I find in chat. I also have no use for the extra XP as I'm well above the CP cap and 100K XP doesn't really make any difference when the next CP is almost 900K XP.

I'm asking people in my trade guilds and in the capital city areas, specifically for the said dungeons. My main PvE guild is still small ATM and I don't always find people to run the DLC pledges with, especially SotH. And it's not even low CP people, it's CP 500+ people that simply don't know how to play, and they don't pay attention to my explanation and the mechanics. VRoM can actually be done pretty quick, if you sneak past the mobs. There are only a few choke points and of course the bosses where you have to fight, but the dungeon can be done in 30 minutes unless you attempt the hard mode, which of course is a whipeathlon even with very good players. In fact the speed run timer is set at 30 minutes, while the VICP ones is set at 40 minutes. Even if they are of the same approximate length, you can't really skip much in VICP, except the watchers.
