    Yes balance pvp only.
    There are lots of community heroes who will adapt a build to better suit their needs for pve.
    Besides cp is enough to run down story quest and overland content. Its just that the new players dont have cp.

    Focus around PVE. Remove all PVP items. Balance PVP by only using battle spirit.

    It's plain idiotic to continue to try to balance them together. It's an endless tug of war that will never be won.

    If ZOS keeps trying to balance the modes together, it's going to ultimately do much more harm than good.

    This isn't a serious question I hope.

    Anyway, no. Both sides need balance and neither side should sacrifice balance for the sake of the other. ZOS needs to make a better effort to balance them separately. This could be through battle spirit, alternate ability tooltips or just having abilities that only work in pvp or in pve. Anything is better than trying (and failing) to balance both together.

    PvP is a hot mess that will never be balanced, PvE is suffering because of that. If anything PvP should be ignored and focus should be on PvE the thing they are doing right

    PvE is just you and your stats vs dumb preprogrammed mechanic, there is no balancing here except of adjusting TTK (and only when it gets to easy, otherwise we would see only buffs from PvE perspective because bosses won't feel they are UP), rest is just memorising mechanics.

    PvP is more complicated and there is many ways to win.

    Now you can bash me, because no matter what you say PvErs are majority here ;)
    I'm done with this game because of ZOS pushing us into Vengeance, because they don't know how to fix Cyrodiil.

    Just ignore PvE and their brainless pre programmed health sponges. "Balance" is irrelevant in PvE.

    "Can every class finish the content"? -> yes -> PvE "balance" DONE. Anything above that is complete waste of money and resources.

    Balance should be done like this:

    noCP PvP then CP PvP then PvE, in small increments. Sadly ZOS doesn’t seem to have the will nor the staff to undergo such a time consuming and tiresome procedure.

    So I assume You are proud owner of all high game end achievements since it's all just You and Your stats vs dumb preprogrammed mechanic then pros like You have done everything without a sweat ? The thing is balance in PvE is there so there wont be 1 build that can do everything like it's nothing and rest that will struggle which basically means making all builds more or less viable when attempting to do certain type of content which is excatly the goal of PvP balance also. Saying there is no such a thing as PvE balance is downright ignorant.

    dunno what Battlespirit is for, when its not used to properly balance the 2 sides anyways...

    Have to disagree most players in this game still play PVE, even it its casualy, semi Pros or Pros, while the PVP players are split into CP and Non CP groups, so balancing for first PVP group (25% of the players base) then for the other half of PVP (25% palyersbase) and then for PVE, which holds the most players (50%) sound super bad
    Dunno how the actual percenteges are, but jsut to illustrate the problem with this logic I used the numbers above.

    Dont get me wrong, balancing arround PVE only is just as bad, as only arround PVP
    They finally have to use Battlespirit for balancing aswell, rather that to try and balance everything together

    There is a class that cant finished some PvE content? PvE "balance" completely irrelevant (except for "elite" dummy epeeners)

    Actually they should either remove CP completely or rework it to give utility/non combat stats/skills ONLY (treasure hunter is fine or 20% inspiration... ... ...)

    Balance PvP only in the game where majority of playerbase are PvE players. What could possibly go wrong ?...

    The thing that needs balance the most is that mutual hate that PvP oriented players have towards PvE oriented players and vice versa. One would not exist without another in game like ESO so balancing the emotions towards different type of content then the one preffered by someone is the main balance needed.
