You didn't explain why we need to stop the dolmen grind or curb xp gain though.

Time wasting immersion breaking AFK-ing…
And CP gain just feels way too fast with the listed advantages. I can understand wanting to get to gear cap, but after that it's just a rush to complain that the game is too easy.

If people want to grind, let them. They only way you'll ever get somewhere in the game that isn't "immersion breaking" is if you take the time to make a lore correct housing instance and never let anyone in.

The people that complain about the game being "too easy" would just complain about something else anyway.

Why are you triggered by people just leveling up their characters or CP? because the lore breaking argument its total BS, one would think that if there is a portal from Oblivion dropping Daedra every single moment non stop, the citizens of Tamriel would be on them just like the leveling train runs.

That's not the ONLY thing and I'm not "triggered".
Why are you triggered by someone making a suggestion?

You are making a suggestion about people minding their own business and progressing their characters. If you are triggered why the suggestion? does their XP gain and leveling hinder your progression? are they blocking your way into somewhere? are they using bots and everybody else can’t do the dolmen? Because by the size of the groups people seem to be participating.

No thanks.

This idea just seems like buying a level up token, except you need 50 of them, and you get to do your unbuffed grinding at level 50 instead because you have an EXP debt.

With One Tamriel, what's the point? It's not like the difficulty of overland content will be substantially different to level 50. You still need to grind out your exp debt via Skyreach or Dolmens (or my preferred method of tanking random normal dungeons). You still have to level your skills via this grinding.

Here's a big problem: it screws with groupfinder in the beginning. You'd end up in the max level BGs with the CP 160-gear players and almost no skills. You'd end up with all normal and most Veteran dungeons unlocked, while you are still unlocking skills. At least the dolmen grinders are unlocking skills as they go.


I'm generally opposed to the idea that we should now need to pay for level-up tokens. I actually prefer ZOS' current method, where there's in game options and the exp scrolls are pretty regularly available for free for new players. I've had max CP for a long time, but we get new players all the time who face a pretty daunting climb if they want to do end-game content (which doesnt fully unlock until CP 300) or CP PVP.

For all that ZOS seems determined to monetize just about everything they can in ESO, its almost refreshing that EXP buffs are one of the least monetized things at this point thanks to the Daily Login rewards. In that sense, this suggestion is a huge step backwards.

If you played the game shortly after 1.6 you would know what it was like to have to grind up accounts...Not only was any good source of XP nerfed (because CP was uncapped), and you also had to level up to VR16 to get max level.

What we have now is much better. If someone wants to farm Alikr dolmens to get whatever amount of CP they feel is necessary for them to enjoy the game then let them. I find dolmen farming very mind numbing, but I don't have anything against players that want to do it.
