Launch when levelling and learning. Having Veteran Ranks to aspire to.

These days sadly the levelling side just goes by and doesn't excite.

Levelling is a chore on some characters, particularly my tanks. But once they hit the cap I feel they are pretty much complete and fully usable.

I enjoy it all but a character doesn't really come into focus for me until I see how she does after the 1-50 'combat leveling' stuff. Only beyond that can I really see how well she does. And it is a pleasure to have all the skills needed and gear that doesn't quickly go obsolete via leveling.

Happiest when I can just play and not be concerned with advancing various numbers.

Although I like my endgame characters and the activities they can participate in, I do enjoy the feeling of a really fresh character, especially levels 1-10. I like the old alliance starter islands and seeing the old quests, and watching the other lowbies running around awkwardly swinging their tutorial greatswords at alits, bandits and crocodiles.

It is interesting to see the difference between an experienced low level player and a total new player to the game.

Enjoy? What is that and how do I get it?

When I hit veteran ranks and the overland content wasnt a faceroll. Sadly that has gone the way of the Dodo bird...and polymorph faces.

I've never been a fan of "leveling" - grinding levels is boring.

I have always preferred "action rpgs" and hack n slash genre type games.

with that being said, I had enjoyed all my time playing my ESO character with leveling experience, PvE endgame, and dedicated PvP experiences blending together and delivering their own unique styles to my portfolio.

I quite enjoyed escalating up to cp160 on my first character,

I like making different builds for each of my toons, and feel like I cannot really do that till they are max lvl. Been playing for a while so past the cp max point.

....do miss getting a cp point and then spending it straight away of the skill tree/points.

After thousands of hours in & many characters, it really doesn't get fun to me until the 1-50 grind is done and you get your champ point level.

There's a point around level 40-50 that you've learned all the necessary skills that you have access to. Skill points pile up faster than you unlock new ones. That part really takes the fun out of leveling up for a while.

Aside from that, I've had fun leveling all of my characters. I raced to CP 160, but after that I just don't pay any attention to my champion points. Sometimes I go days between allocating my points. Even on my sorc that's been wearing the same gear for almost a year I can really tell the difference my last 100 CP have made.

I'm not sure how I'll feel if/when I ever hit the cap.

The first year I played, when I had 4 characters at Sub Vet Ranks was the best. I could see and feel the changes as I went from one level to the other, heck, from one part of the zone to another it was different. When I got to Vet Ranks, it seemed like most of the progression went away, and it was just get the character to V10, or V12, or V14 or V16. The differences between V1 and V16 did not seem all that much.

Now, I enjoy all my characters the same, as they are all really Max CP Ranked as soon as they are rolled, if you can gear them up right. But, I won't call it leveling anymore.Its Scaling

I blaze my characters trough levels as fast as possible in normal Maelstrom until they hit 50 then I rotate trough dolmens until I level every skill line, skill and preferred morph to IV, then do a whole skill point reset and only spec what I need. After that I can give them good gear and start questing, exploring and getting sky shards, books etc. I like questing fully leveled since all rewards and drops are already leveled.

I recently completed my 5th play-trough of all 3 Alliances, Coldharbour, Fighters and Mages guild, Cyrodiil, IC and Wrothgar and fully unlocked Assault and Support. Next I'll do the dungeons for Undaunted and skill points, concurrent with Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood. I have another 2 characters who haven't completed Morrowind and Clockwork City yet so I'll probably do those concurrently on all 3.
