What do you consider a waste and could be stripped from the game?

They could remove the entire Vestige quest line and it wouldn't affect the rest of the game other than the Soul Magic skill line that could be integrated into the 1-50 leveling.

While I agree with you I feel it is a shame that I feel I can.

I think the Vestige story line was a good idea, badly executed.
It should have stayed faction specific, rather than cross-faction with Cadwells.
And it should be extended upon in some way with each new content drop.

As it is, it feels like a quest line that was left mid-story somewhere back at level 48.

Free up development time AND not one person would miss - doubt such a thing exist.

As far as things I'd remove regardless of anyone else, I'd say:

PVP - trying to balance what constitutes PVP in this game (duels and mass zerg / lag fests) seems like a fools errand and wastes limited development time on a futile endeavor.

Champion system - allowing massive power gaps to grow between players simply based on time played while expecting those same players to compete against and complete cooperative challenges with each other is pretty dumb, create progressively difficult end-game content with progressively better gear rewards instead.

Guild traders - just get rid of the backwards and annoying system already that is way to easy to manipulate and give us a simple unified marketplace with fees for listing / commissions on sales.

People.. they should make it single player instead. Would be a much more pleasant experience.

Because of One Tamriel.

-material tiers could be simplified to wood, metal, cloth and consolidate some runes too

I'd keep the material label tho and use it to select artwork within motifs

Basically this addresses request for weapon dyes a bit and addresses ppl concerns about losing old material tiers but allows crafting of all visual types and sets up opportunities to change or restyle drops

And for item levels they could just use quantity of material....

Most of the "l33t" pvpers in this game do nothing but crit rush and dizzying swing spam.

PVP players need to l2getonwithit.

Or ya know: Shadowy Disguise, Ambush, Incapacitating Strike, Surprise Attack etc. constantly. However, I get on with it because I know I suck at PVP, due to 999+ ping or whatever and the fact I'm a PvE'r doesn't help.

Yes get rid of PvP please so I can stop playing this game everyday, it's the only reason I log in.

If I could get rid of anything it would be rng it's just horrible. I would like a more known factor, let's use refining as an example. If you refine x amount of ores you have 100% chance to get a green then x amount more a blue then a purple then a yellow then it starts again at green.

Or add a damn token system to vMA so we know no matter what if we keep doing this we profit at some point not this endless cycle of getting a training resto staff crap. Same can be done with over land sets and dungeon gear, get a token every time u kill a world boss or dungeons boss after so many runs you turn in tokens and get to pick the item you want in the trait you want. Still have to play the game and run this stupid PvE stuff over and over but at least there is a light at the end of the tunnel with tokens.

tl;dr tokens good RNG bad

No I wouldn't say remove it - just change it. RNG is absolutely horrible, yes. It took me 5 lockpicks to open a chest with a 60% force rate... The thing that needs to happen is the addition of Pseudo Random Distribution (PRD) for things. Things like Aetheric Cipher, Dust, Weapon drops with good traits, Lock picking.... OH AND PROC SETS!

PRD is so useful. If lets say you have a 10% chance to proc a set when healing, right now it can easily happen in 1-2 heals, or maybe 20 heals. True Random is a bad thing for games, hence why most games are turning to PRD.

With PRD, you have a 10% chance to proc a set when healing, instead of 1-2 heals, or 20 or whatever, it's likely to be done on the 9th or 10th, sometimes 11 or 12th heal. It makes it more likely to proc at the percentage it's meant to be if you've not had it proc for a good time and whatnot.

Not sure if that made sense. tl'dr: add PRD.

Agree to remove it and we can turn you bi-yearly bath into just an annual one. Most of the time it's just cleaning honeymead out of that thing.

Really nothing can be removed without someone missing it. Everyone has their own interests.

Some aspects are systems with a purpose. Armor repair is intended as a small cash sink which is good for every game. Though I expect no one would miss it, is has a good purpose in the game.

The fetch quests tied into the Wrothgar World Boss quests. Very tedious and make it very hard to keep WB groups in sync. You always have uncomfortable decision to pull next boss when most of group is there, or wait for the handful of stranglers to finish fetching 578,012,456 pieces of meat to finish off prior quest. It would be different if this was purely skill based. But it is a lot of RNG with how much of fetch items drop from mobs, whether a different group just wiped out all mobs in area and you need to wait for respawns, etc. The World Boss quests should be about killing World Bosses. Any fetches should be a a small number of always available items, like sacks near Hews Bane World Bosses or urns near Minotaur cave on Gold Coast. Much faster and easier to let everyone collect those and move along to next WB with group united and quest objectives in sync.

The lack of active skills on thieves and dark bortherhood lines. I understand why they did it this way, but such a waste.
