VR10 already? How?

Katkon✭✭✭Fastest way to level is to do quests above your level (particularly easy at 40+, I've found) and to "kill everything in your path". That will greatly expedite progress towards leveling. I'm only a 40 but think I'm going too fast, personally - need to slow down!0 -
I never understood the concept of end-game content. Isn't the stuff you just blew through, technically the end game content? How is adding more content onto the end going to be any different? Won't people just blow through that as quickly as possible also? It seems silly to make your game cater to people like that, people who don't really care about the game or story, they just want to win the competition of completion.
Basically, the way I see it, if you cater to the people who view level 1 to VR10 as a tutorial, you're turning your game into a tutorial. I don't enjoy playing 50hr tutorials, nor do I enjoy grinding to the end just to get to the good content.
They complain it isn't an MMO (not a persistant world, ignoring the fact it's a virtual world) and play it like a single player game anyway... it's interesting from a psychological stand point.
So far most comments from those who are attaining the levels quickly come from a need to be/feel "special" or different than their peers. The underlining issues for it would have to be discussed in therapy.
Also, I agree with the math done which would tell me there's A: a Personality/Mental Problem the person holds B: an Addiction C: or an intense competitive drive (again healthy or not would require more attention...).Edited by robertbmilesb14_ESO on April 22, 2014 3:13AM1 -

Game is boring, not resubbing.
For those who like quests, you'll love VR ranks, it's about as quest grindy as you can get.
Love it. The guy who admits to blowing through the content calls the game boring, and isn't resubbing.
the majority of players in a MMO doesnt care for story.
Why buy the game in the first place?

Wow, some of the posters here have mental issues, and would benefit from therapy.
I don't like quests, never have. I played this game, and kept playing the game to explore places, and see new challenging things. I find the story silly, so why is my play style somehow "incorrect."
The math shows you are most likely sitting behind a monitor playing one game for hours on end, no this is not normal. Yes this is "incorrect" in the sense, unhealthy for a myriad of reasons. Maybe you should think about your initial advice.
It'd be wise for you to also list why you bought the game so you can make a better purchase for yourself in the future.I'm not resubbing because I found it all very underwhelming, there's nothing mysterious or dark and deep that you wonder if any other player has ever been there. Mostly because the game is linear and on rails. You're ushered from one zone area to the next, with quests to complete to progress from one area to the next. It's silly design for an MMO, even previous themeparks, such as EQ and to a far lesser extent FF11 managed to elicit that exploration feeling in me, I never felt it in ESO. They ado managed to create believable persistent open worlds, I feel ESO has failed here too. Add that in to the fact that this us the most social unfriendly MMO I've ever played and well.....
There's just something missing from the game, and I don't care about quest content, I just don't. The AZ info looks depressing, leaderboards blah blah blah... Give me something mysterious and exciting.
Most of this would come about in participating in actual backpacking and hiking. Also take a look at the opponent-process theory of emotion.Edited by robertbmilesb14_ESO on April 22, 2014 3:25AM1 -
moXrox✭✭✭I'm curious how people get to VR10 so quickly. Do you guys just rush through the quests? Grind for xp in a particular area? Become emperor of Cyrodiil?
It's not that I want to copy your process, I'm happy plugging away at my own pace. I'm just curious how you do it so quickly.
How ?
By skipping the whole game content and only killing mobs with AoE.
My condolence to such players.Music Channel:

SexyVette07✭✭✭Grinding 1-50 is doable in 2-3 days. Its so much faster than questing that its not even funny. VR1-10 is done by questing and veteran dungeons.
I saw my first VR10 on like day 4 or 5. Ridiculous how fast it can be done.0 -

This. Just go to areas with a high enemy population and respawn rate and just kill them over and over. But honestly, whats the point in skipping the whole game just to get to lvl 50? Thats just stupid if you ask me. Thats not playing the game.1 -

Dude, there have even been bans because people used an exploit with mob tagging when they grinded to v10.

He still has a point though. And I knew someone would jump that train. Anyway, his point. Lemme explain. Plain simple actually. Questing is simply a timesink to decrease the speed til you hit max level. When you hit max level, devs need to deliver endgame content. Problem is, due to extensive amount of time spent on questing content they fail to deliver endgame. Oddly enough this is practically always the case for every new mmo. except wow. new xpac new raid included. always.
So you admit that almost every new MMO has little end-game content implemented at launch, and I agree. These so-called MMO vets should know this, and maybe think twice before rushing to level cap instead of whining about lack of content. I don't know. Just a thought.

However...
You are skipping the story....
Basicly you are jumping from humble beginning to final conclusion... Are you worried at all about paying for story and skipping all the juicy details and backstory?
What if there was a required quest later that requires your previous story? You then have to go back and do it all... what if that asks questions about the random books in the world... will you use online guide cheats to answer... or go back and enjoy the story presented?

Id rather watch all seasons of a television show than only beginning and end.... Imagine Game of Thrones without all of the getting to know characters and watching them die....
I guarantee you had more thrill in seeing Joffrey choke to death on poison because you knew what kind of boy king he was.... otherwise you would just think of him as the mad king who we know little about how he became the mad king.

✭✭The only way people are able to do this is through grinding mobs. Grinding is still quicker than questing if you know how to do it.
There's videos about it and guides for each zone.0 -
Well these day 1-2 50's was using rings of mara and doing a daily kill 20 people mission which was bugged letting you do it over and over all day the first few game days. This was an exploit and should have ended up in a rollback that never happened.0

That's the one im pretty sure. I seen in chat at early launch was a zone chat about something to do with 20 kills was endless and off they went.0 -
Thevenin✭✭3 things combined :
- playing an insane amount of time (some people don't have real lives)
- skipping everything story-related (not listening to a single NPC, merely following compass and using dulfy guide when compass is too vague)
- using exploits (like the bugged adds of Darkshade Caverns)
That's the price one has to pay if they want to smash the fun out of everyone else in PvP. Oh well, that was to be expected, but I'm quite convinced lead developpers don't play their own games on a regular basis, so they once again didn't see it coming.0 -

Really BS??? You're delusional too?
What do you want? My rank, my rate, my grade, whether I've been NJP'd or not, how many spooks I know, where I'm stationed, when I'm PCSing, my PRD, whether I've passed my PFA, PFT or whatever the hell they're calling it these days, my UIC, how many ARIs there've been in the last month, if I'm an NCO or not?
Just what "validates" it for ya bub?
