I've recently finished the 3rd (gold) part (lvl 320) and I really think I'm just gonna give up the game now.
The reason ?? The new difficulty settings !!!
After the new update, I am unable to solo in ALL the areas of the game. I mean, even in Auridon, I cannot get a single boss alone. The game is supposed to be fun for every level and every playre and I get the feeling that I need to get at least lvl 500 and get full golden equipment, in order to continue playing. Since I'm not a hardcore player, I'll probably just drop it...
Sorry Zenimax, but you blew it this time ...
world bosses aren't meant to be soloable. ZOS has stated that they are balanced for a group of 4 now. if you wanna kill a world boss wait for others to arrive. the idea that a single person could kill em was outright silly anyway
All fine in theory, but before the update hit, how long did you have to wait just for a single player to pass you by never mind a team of 4? What happens months down the line when the majority have stopped boss farming? Do noobs just walk on by? It's also fine people saying just go into towns or ask guild members to help out, but realistically how many high levelled players will want to boss farm months from now when they have all the gear they need? You see the same *** in public dungeons. There's one in the daggerfall faction that requires 2 players to trigger the group event. Good luck wasting an hour or 2 of your life waiting for someone to come along and help you. It would be akin to sitting watching paint dry.
Don't confuse the current trend of populated boss areas with what will inevitably happen a few months from now. They will revert back to being dead zones. Next to no one will shift from Mournhold etc to help some random defeat an over land boss. They will be too busy grouping for dungeons with their fellow high level buddies.
For a moment, I thought this post was about how easy and casual oriented ESO actually is. But reading the op wall texts I was like "What? Are we even playing the same game?"
ESO is ridiculous easy. Even Maelstorm and DSA can be EASILY mastered after a couple of runs.

To you.
Trumpeting your experience and skill and willingness to adopt the latest meta as the only experience, Is why I, and hopefully others, hate people like you. (And that's not even counting the grind for best in slot gear and so fourth.) You tear the rift between Casual and Elite wider and wider, and make pinpointing what is -actually- a problem that much more difficult for us, and the devs. You actively damage any attempt to ballance the game by screaming that it's easy. For you.
Not everyone plays the same. As someone who plays with a controller due to motor control damage, not all of us are capable of your amazing feats. Some people learn different, some people play different, and some people just disagree. Get over it. Not everything is a japanese style test of your honor.
If you have nothing reasonable or constructive to contribute, that is to say, something to say, say nothing. Dissent is fine. But idiotic bashes against people and telling them the game is easy isn't Dissent, dissent has a point and evidence to support that point.

I sat here for while, reading your comment, you assumed a lot of thing about me. Yets, let's make a few points clear firstly.
Being a elitist and thinking the game is easy are two completely different things. Btw, they are pretty much the opposite, if I'm a elitist it means that I think that the content is actually hard and I need the best players to run it with me, don't you think? There isn't any determinism on that, there is a lot of differents elitist players out there. Therefore, the metonymy that you applied - the whole [people that think that the game is too easy] for one of it's parts [elitists] - is shallow and poor.
Concerning my in-game ethics, you assumed a lot: a) did I ever say anything about my experience? No. I didn't. Actually, just to let you know, I'm pretty average. I take two hours to finish the Maelstorm, never made more than 22k dps on my stamblade, only have three toons, I'm still 100 cps away from the cap etc etc; b) did you ever saw me "LFM CP561+ STORMPROFF GOLD GEAR FOR FG1 VETHM"?No, because I'm no elitist neither. Even tho we are not here to discuss my ingame ethics, the amount of thing that you assumed that I am was just...awkward.
The last, but not less important, your semiotic analysis of my comment. Well, indeed I didn't say much. I could argue, bring up some evidence, hipothesis, results, but I didn't. Is there a problem in that? Tecnically, no, it is just another comment lying in the forum to be forgotten by the endless amount of information that we stack here every minute. But you are right, I didn't try to make a point, if I was willing to bring up more people to agree with my point of view, I should have done that indeed. But at the moment, I didn't really care to make one and just want to express my point of view without really worrying about developing it.
Tho, the fact that my comment is not substantially develop, doesn't justify the huge amount of things you assume about me, the elitists, and the people that think the game is too easy and that is soo cheap as my three line comment.
(edit: minor typos, english isn't my first language, and I forgot to mention you @Doctordarkspawn )

Those opposed, seem to be the late comers who will obviously have less experience, less CP and are used to post-launch nerfing difficulty. This might fly on PC, but consoles are a different demographic and I would bet a large portion of the latter player base will ditch ESO for something more casual/fun based.
