    Master Angler achievement
    If I could chose multiple I would but currently I'm working on the Master Angler achievement and it is the worse. A close second was veteran level grinding. Those who started the game after the removal of veteran levels will never know the pain we suffered to hit max level. On multiple characters.

    Farming lich when it only dropped in cyrodiil, and groups would try to gank you when the chest dropped

    Maelstrom, no doubt about it. Why is it that the most worthless of all the weapons that could drop, is the only one I get. I'm obviously talking about the 1h and shield crap. When I finally get a weapon that I would use, it's generally also a crap trait, which in ESO means trash since there is no way to re-trait an item..

    Getting ALL Monster Collectibles. Master Angler is a piece of cake compared to this. It's easier now, with OneT and all level requirements now removed, but still RNG madness. And at the end of it, no title.

    Leveling (Past or Present)
    Getting that Vigor and Caltrops is a real pain in the ...
    To even step foot on vMA I need Vigor(as stam character). I need to PvP to get Vigor. PvP=running around house 20vs20 and waiting for destro ult of my fellow comrades. Not to mention the 15fps or lower on high end PC with 300-400 ping.
    I still don't understand how people can enjoy it.

    Other than levelling new characters, none. No idea why people do dull and laborious *** in games. Do enough in real life without doing it again in something that's supposed to be fun. I do grind, but nothing I would do if I felt I was just wasting hours/days/weeks of my life. Never gonna get those weeks back, so I'd rather do *** I garner at least some enjoyment out of. Plenty of other games out there I'd rather play than spend weeks attempting to get a sharp vMA dagger etc.

    Saying that, when I played Borderlands 2, I did over grind some bosses for heads and skins.

    @Dexter411

    I was like you up until a month ago. Hated PvP. The lag, the inane childishness that you see in chat and the sheer amount of try hards all amounted to one unenjoyable experience. However, I ventured into Cyrodiil to get vigor and have thoroughly enjoyed it. So much so, my pvp skill lines are around 8 or 9 now. I stand no chance 1v1, I suck at pvp, but it's a fresh experience for me. If I was still playing PvE, I wouldn't be playing ESO at the moment as all the PvE content for me has been the same old, same old for months on end now.

    Don't get me wrong, there are still plenty of try hards and the lag is atrocious, but it's all rather exciting knowing I could be ganked whilst riding to catch up with the rest of the group who are situated outside an enemy keep.
