Alright, so i will go ahead and elaborate on my idea for getting rid of leveled gear and changing traits. Now i am no game designer (though i would really love to go to school for it) but i think there is a way to make it so items are not behind a level wall, but yet players still have to deal with cheap gear and then aim for the god like awesome gear for end game. My idea (that is not perfect) would to be; go back to old school elderscrolls gear, sort of. Have low tier material, mid, high exct. since thay added light, med, and heavy looks to all gear it wouldnt be too hard to have iron and steal equivalents ( i think they even already do?) and then it just goes as normal orcish or dwarven, ebony, glass, deadric. All normal content has like a .005% chance of dropping ebony and glass maybe. And vet content has an 80%-100% chance for ebony and glass and a small chance for deadric (all monster items considered at least ebony if not deadric?) there could be new ways to get the ever sought after monster gear and deadric (deadric dailies?) but we also dont want to add more RNG bullcrap that you have to grind for weeks. Of course crafting is still a thing and just got so much more valuable, because crafters can go out and farm the rare glass and ebony ore and make some sweet sets, and you dont have to grind a dungeon 5 times to get an all ebony or glass set (deadric would maybe be the equivalent of crafting a legendary item?) There could be an imbalance of new players getting really good gear right off the bat, but i think considering how much gold people will sell their glass and ebony for it will be unlikely. But maybe thats why dungeon gear (at least vet dungeon) should still only be shareable to your dungeon group, final boss item should either be super rare so you would only sell it for ridiculous amounts of gold or binds on pick up.

And then there is the traits, well guess what!? crafters can now reinforce, re-fit, devine, or what ever, your gear for a jewel and a cost! Or mabye this is just an NPC that does it? and can also upgrade the quality of jewel sets and sells sets that drop in that zone Also i think, even though the traits are improved, they should all be pretty dang useful. example: prosperous should give a percentage more gold from all sources, or at least quests as well, and why not make it so training still gives xp from all sources except to crafting? or maybe combine some of the existing ones.

This could maybe upset PVP? idk, with battle scaling i feel like it would still be fine, but if it were up to me in Cryodiil you would get a uniform from your faction that you had to have on that makes everyone's gear essentially the same. At least in the overworld, maybe in imperial city and new PVP areana allow PVP sets and such. But thats just my opinion on the matter.

And one more thing, why not make it so there are quest reward OPTIONS on at least what kind of piece of gear you get like a light belt, a heavy chest, or a medium shoulder, or all the same item, differnt armor class.

I think the game is really getting enough content players want to play through, to not have to grind the same content 10-20 times to get what they are after. There are other reasons to go do dungeons, and things like dragon star and malstorm should still drop the uber awesome legendary weapons.I would like to see less of a focus on gear grinding, and more of a focus on character/ build development and player skill. Also with less of a focus on playing the whole game just to get gear, it can allow the game to grow into some fun group/ solo (soloing should be harder IMO) content with a truly immersing story,more epic places to visit, and characters to run into.

Thanks for reading, let me know your thoughts!

I WISH THEY WOULD FIX TRIALS ON CONSOLE

Good suggestion?

idk, i have it for xbone as well. but i only got to lvl 15 before i went back to PC because... well... addons. its like trying to go back to vanilla skyrim after playing with 50+ mods anyway, hope they fix that for you, if not, come join us on PC and add me!

Dolmens scale to the number of players at the dolmen but the scaling is limited. it will not scale up to 10 or 20 players probably because the amount of damage a dozen players can do can vary by a couple hundred K DPS. [/quote]

i know it scale somewhat, but they definitely could work on it alot. I know there are groups of 50+ farming the things and you cant even get a damn hit in. so at least let it scale all the way up to 50, adding 5-10k health to each mob per person at the delve. sure it wont be perfect becuase CP, role, gear all come into play on how powerful the group is. But i think everyone can agree that the things are just way too dam easy as it is. The final boss is a complete push over! i;d like to see something a little more traditional world boss like... at least make on of the three dolmens a bigger, badder one, that opens half as much as the other 2. or make the last boss an actual fight, even the special bosses feel like fighting a glorified elite mob.
