" For example, priarily solo questers in a random normal with an end-game group PvEer trying to farm transmute crystals."

And what's to prevent the end-game PvEer from popping over to the causal "fork" to farm? Because I'm telling you they will do that unless something prevents it, since queues will be massively longer especially for DDs.

Please do not, imo this is a terrible suggestion and not good for the game at all.

Dcuo and black desert kinda already have this. Characters can log in with any character on any server and different rulesets apply to each server one on black desert is where pvp and guild wars happen while other servers are for casual pve and some minor forced pvp. Dcuo has a phase changer that turns world wide pve and pvp on or off in pve mode you can duel and play as you see fit. But on pvp mode all pve content is still there but heroes and villains can attack eachother on sight aka imperial city kinda deal. I would love a pvp fork for eso that allowed all pve content as well as open pvp across world just toss in a toggled attack other players on off button so you don't accidentally kill a random doing his own thing if that wasn't your intention. Could even add zone wide guild capture points that do something beneficial currencies unlocks whatever. And players can duke it out accross all of tamrial. While the pve players just log into the pve server and are left alone to do their pve content dungeons trials farming grinding. With the server load broken up and pvpers scattered across the whole map fighting eachother the lag may be minimal in that content. Make capitol towns pvp safe zones mournhold, wayrest, eldenroot, stonefalls, new wrothgar, kavatch etc but lesser towns say narsis and what not be capture points. It'd be ambitious possibly a whole year expansion to add in but would be hella fun instead of cramming a million zergs into cyrodiil in a war of lag out. Newbie towns already laggy enough with new players and alts. But seperated into their own servers that they can go and play in without restriction would be a great way to revive pvp and pve the servers could even have the battle spirit automatically active on the pvp server except in pve content like trials arenas and dungeons because of course that would make that content stupid easy with bonus health or stupid hard with reduced heals. But let players select what server they wanna log into at character select. And if pvp nerfs are incoming they can add those nerfs or buffs to the pvp server and not the pve server.

Just my thoughts.

Except that's not what OP is asking for as far as it is even possible to decipher meaning from this wall of text.

Just have two forks. Normal and vet

So convert the exiting game into a similar model Elite Dangerous uses? Well I don't know how much it would benefit the overall game. I'm sure it would make you happy along with other people. But how would that increase profits for ZOS? How many more dev's salaries would they have to pay in order to support 4 game modes every patch? How much would it increase customer satisfaction? by 300%? Would it cause ESO to jump from 6th most played MMORPG to number 2 or 1? I just don't see how this will help in the long term. It would require a lot of effort and resources from ZOS upfront to make that sort of change, and I don't think the numbers that ZOS follows for metrics show it would improve anything significantly.
