Letterman speaks out about Dolmen grinding

The other day I was harvesting mats from my month's worth of survey's, and started in Alik'r Desert for no reason other than it's first alphabetically. After grabbing my 15th wormwood I look up and ran right into David Letterman. I honestly thought he was still in India working on solving climate change, but here he was, farming dolmens just like everyone else in Alik'r. Since he's a close family friend, I walked up and asked him, "Dave, why are you farming dolmens? Is this how you want to spend your in-game time?".

Dave gives me a knowing smile, puts his hand on my shoulder as he always did when I was growing up, and said, "Ray, lemme give you my personal Top 10 list of reasons why I farm Alik'r dolmens."

10. Most intellectually stimulating zone chat
9. Hoping to soon figure out what is making those damn horses so restless
8. Love socializing with my closest friends while doing end-level content
7. Leveling in the public dungeons is way too hard
6. I can't find anyone in Craglorn who will carry me through Skyreach.
5. I left my horse in Aswala stables
4. It’s the most effective way to level mage's guild
3. All the Sentinel guild traders are the best
2. Everyone knows the best gear is in Alik'r

and the #1 reason to farm dolmens in Alik'r is:
1. Came to practice my skill rotations



So there you have it, if you ever wanted to know why people farm dolmens in Alik'r, Dave has the answer. Thanks Dave, and give my best to Paul!

Sincerely, Ray
Ray

    So to be completely up front and honest, I pointed out to Dave the lack of goats in his list, because I too was skeptical about their absence. He gave a little shudder, stepped backwards. His famously solid grin melted, replaced by a look of dread, almost fear. I thought he was having a medical emergency.

    And then he said, ever so softly, almost to the point where I could barely hear, "They remind me too much of Paul."

    Who the fudge is this David Letterman you're talking about? Nevermind.. who cares. Anyways, this thread seemingly portrays humor, so I will add a joke to the dolmen grinding in Alik'r and elsewhere which is overall a joke in itself.

    I definitely don't do dolmen group grinding, but yeah.. ha ha ha. When majority are just spamming light attacks while some others are just standing around and doing nothing. I have seen some still sitting mounted on their mount or just riding round and round the dolmen throughout the brief period that the dolmen lasted. To each their own, but there will always be slackers and shammers in real life and also in-game ESO. There will always be people who wants things quick and right now. Also, sure, definitely a good way to practice your rotations when the dolmen lasts a very brief period of time. You want a good practice of rotations, hit the world boss pit, either sololy or with another or two. Crazy arse people doing grinding; same crap repeatedly over and over again for hours on end. How is that entertainment and fun for a game?? When you constantly grinds for xp and mats, heck, it's not a game anymore then, it becomes a non-paying job. No Sir.. no thank you, Ma'am.

    You'll remember him with the beard, really.

    I thought I heard he is coming back, something netflix?

    Of course beard and turban works good for dolmen farming in the desert.

    Not sure why people don't just answer their question.

    He was a weatherman for a local television station in Indianapolis.
