I wasn't playing before One Tamriel but I imagine how annoying it would be to go through the same quests again and again to be able to travel somewhere

I really like being able to adventure and quest where I choose and earn XP and rewards on characters of any level. The only thing I would change is that quests part of the main alliance story arcs wouldn’t be available out of order.

Absolutely not! Never want to go back to where I'm playing content that I've already outleveled. I'm a completionist, and so I was always doing green and mostly grey quests when I entered a new zone. Thus, no loot from mobs when you're over the level for a zone.

Plus, who wants to go back to those zones and have fights be completely worthless. Even when you can steamroll things, you at least still get loot that's at your level. Before, even it you hadn't completely outleveled a zone, any gear you managed to get, even quest gear, was below your level.

Players already complain about how easy overland content is - let's not make most of it completely irrelevant. Well, I guess the gold zones would be relevant, but then that's limiting players to certain areas - gold zones or DLC zones. If you want to farm, say, Seventh Legion, you have to have a toon whose gold zone is DC. I really don't want to go back to those kinds of limitations.

Not to mention only being able to farm mats in certain areas. Or the fact that you HAD to complete your faction's questline before being able to go to any of the other alliance zones - would make certain holiday events a hassle, esp. for new players.

Hell no.

No "other" option or I would have picked that.

I would like to see leveled zones come back with a base level, and once you are leveled higher than the base it would scale with your level all the way up to cp160.

For example, a level 40 zone would stay level 40 until you hit that level, then it continue to scales up with your level to a max of cp160.

I feel like ESO is missing the sense of progression that existed before One Tamriel. Being able to safely go to any zone and do any quest line on a level 3 character is not a good thing.

The replayability of zones is much better this way. I also wouldn't mind seeing areas in zones with tougher enemies or something but between pretty and post One Tamriel for the most part I prefer post.

Uh why would we want to go back to old and dated systems

Yes & No. Yes if its the players first play through. No if someone has done it before. The reason why is I think going through the story and quest pre T1 I learned more about the game. Now new players are popping in, getting power leveled and aren't really prepared for harder content even tho they are higher level.

The game was hot garbage before One Tamriel.

I love being able to go anywhere, any time. It means all my characters can level up differently instead of having to follow a set path. It also means they can break off from the base game content and do some of the additional content before level 50 without then finding that they have out-leveled the base game content they were doing before.

as follower of harder overland difficulty, i strictly against leveling zones.
All we need is overland Battle Spirit toggle with a bit more params than healing cut. This will not harm new players. Don't know about PC EU though, it seems everything can cause meltdown of it )

No.

I would like the zones to be more individual, though. Less cookie-cutter. Many of the zones are the same, with the same difficulty, same resources, same... sameness.

I'm pretty sure there are already more zone-to-zone progression MMOs on the market than you can shake a stick at. If I wanted that, then I'd play one of those.
