Character BoostR..... why NOT?!

I don't really get why there is no character boost in this game. I don't mean just bringing your character to level 50, but also giving you skill points and guild skill line at max lvl. I think there are ways to make it balanced, many games have it already

✭✭✭✭✭A lvl 50 character is pretty quick and easy. Many had their necros leveled to 50 on the first day.
Zos has added sky shards to the crown store and pretty sure they said this was a test. I expect they will offer guild lines in the future. This will allow players to pick and choose what they want and how much they are willing to spend.

You are aware unlike other games with this this is a sandbox mmorpg and a lot of the pve content consists of the open world right? This would litterally complete the game for you.
A level boost should not exist, espically not one with that level of completion, may I also add, considering buying skyshards alone.
Your looking at paying like £100+ per character. It would annoy almost every player immediately. Specially considering how pay to win it would be considered
Nah, I think a class swap function would serve this much stronger.

Yea, the character grind itself isn't hard or struggling, the problem are guild skill lines and since they added skyshards already as a way to grind less I don't see why they shoulnd't add a boost for some skills"h*es" stay quirky, I stay unemployed

So you're asking ZOS to add something you don't want?
In your first post you say that you don't know why the game doesn't already have a character boost, that it could be balanced and many games have it already - all making it sound like something you not only want but expect to have available. Now you're agreeing with someone saying even skyshards is going too far and these things should never be in the game at all.

I actually think they should add a Character boost. ZoS is going thru the way of P2W game, at least the character boost is something much more useful than skyshards and as P2W as skyshards are. I don't know how can some people actually accept the skyshards in game, but refuse character boost because considered cheesy"h*es" stay quirky, I stay unemployed

I can almost get the skyshards thing, becayse if there is a zone (ie Cyrodil) that you just HATE, you can bypass it as long as you have done it at least once.

Honestly, meanwhile what you said makes sense, I don't really agree with it. You don't have to unlock ALL skyshards on ALL your characters. There's no point in doing that, at least in my opinion, so you can literally just avoid zones you don't wanna grind skyshards in"h*es" stay quirky, I stay unemployed

We are actually on the same page here. I don't see me ever paying crowns for skyshards, but I do understand the thought behind it. In fact, I don't have one single character out of the 9 that I have active that has ALL of the skyshards.
My personal line in the sand is gear and levels. It may not be everybody's line, but it's mine.0 -

✭✭Go and play an asian MMO if you want too pay your way too endgame... Or WoW. But those are the games... And frankly... there is a reason WoW is dying and why Asian MMOs are not popular in the west. And P2W is one of them...
Sure, ESO is walking a fine line currently. But we are still within Pay for Convenience. Not P2W.Cleared Trials:
- vAA HM - vHRC HM - vSO HM - vMoL HM - vHoF HM - vAS HM - vCR HM -

Levelling in this game is too easy to have a character boost. There's so many different methods you can do to level faster. You can use all training gear, farm the most efficient spots, get a friend or use the abundance of XP scrolls gained from daily rewards.
As for skill points, get the skyshard addon and get all the overland ones. Doesn't take that long, even if you have a low mount speed.

✭✭Not sure what the big deal is about selling instant level tokens, honestly. A lot of the biggest games in the market have them and aside from some players' disdain for those that use them, the boosts barely have any impact on gameplay. The usual users tend to be players who have already leveled at least one toon and want to skip the grind on alts, especially for classes they don't enjoy playing at low levels.
I've used them a couple of times in GW2 for classes I couldn't stand-- and couldn't stand once they were leveled, either
Also used them in SWTOR.
Limit the skill points to those you'd gain by hitting the level up button and you'd avoid the whole P2W argument. Players would still have to seek out the skill points they'd need to be on par with other players. Plus, those skills would still need to be leveled and morphed. Don't give anyone starter endgame gear with the token and that removes the other p2w argument I've seen in other games.0 -

And then that "new" character joins up for trials because that's all they really want to do.
That very thing happened to wow when they started selling boosts.
