PLEASE CHANGE THE ZONE BOSSES THAT HAVE TO SUMMON ADDS FOR CREDIT.

This is a neat idea for a single player game, but for an MMO, it is a problem. Lesser Circle in Alik'r Dessert, and Summoner's Camp in Bangkorai are a couple examples in DC. I'm sure the other two factions have similar zone bosses.
The problem is that you have to wait for the first elite to spawn to summon adds. Then you have to kill the boss and the adds in order to get credit towards map completion for the zone boss. There is a significant waiting time before the elite summons the adds, and since this is an MMO, there is ALWAYS someone new wandering into the area. They see the elite sitting there and naturally think it's just like most other zone bosses, and they attack it.
This is leading to huge groups of people standing there for hours sometimes waiting for the sequence to finish. Then you have everyone yelling at each other, insulting each other, and blaming each other. It is a very poor design.
You can't blame the person just coming in for killing the first elite because that's how 99% of the zone bosses are. You see them and kill them. For every 10 people standing there hoping nobody kills the first spawn, someone ALWAYS wanders in and unknowingly kills it.
Please change this. Make them all spawn at the same time, or make the summoner immune to damage until he/she has completed the summoning. It isn't fun or challenging or unique. It is a hassle.

squeeze✭This has just happened to me. I also had no idea about the conditions. Solo'd the elite and got no Veteran Points nor achievement for it

fiftypercentgrey✭✭✭But you were yelled at for sure
It would be great if those map bosses were fixed or if you could get the achievement for killing the summoner as well as for killing the summoned monster. It IS kinda smart to kill the summoner before he can summon the evil, powerful daedra.
Or make the death of the summoner spawn the daedra. In that case his lifeenergy/blood/soul/whatever has fueled the summoning and the daedra can appear and run rampant. or something.ἀπόκρυφος0 -
TheRealDoc✭✭✭Agreed.
People who dont read zone chat
People who don't speak english on a EUROPEAN server
Trolls
Idiots
Psychopaths
All of these people completely destroy the design decision and wreck the achievement for everyone.
And one of them comes along every 5 mins in these areas.....
Poorest design decision I've seen in this game yet.
I really want ot love this game, but this sort of thing drags me back to the reality of MMO's every hour or so..... which is why the longevity of the game will suffer....0 -

Yes, this is poor design, plain and simple. No excuses.2 -

Actually, outside the British Isles, very few Europeans have English as their native Language... Population-wise, German is probably the biggest European Language, followed by French.

tair88b16_ESOSoul ShrivenThe problem is, even if you kill the boss + summon, you don't get the achievement. Killed the one in Bangkorai like 4 times and still no update.0
