    This is too much bad idea. Each people have different interest against ESO.

    ZOS must consider about diversity.

    No one is forcing anyone to do anything. If you're not able to decide for yourself that you need to skip stuff in the game when real life is more important, that's a "you" problem, not the game.
    Sorry, but that's not completely true. I really want a particular mount, but don't want to gamble on the crown crates to get enough gems, so my only other option is endeavour seals. I also don't know how long the mount will remain in the crown store, so I'm more or less forced to do as many endeavours as I can manage, or I may miss out on getting the mount. So ZOS' monetisation policy is forcing me to spend more time on endeavours than I'd prefer. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one in this situation.

    You aren't being forced.

    You WANT the mount. You don't NEED the mount.

    If it was a mount that gave a speed bonus or inventory boost that was being held behind a paywall, something that gave you a benefit other than cosmetic, then you might be justified in claiming you're being forced.

    If anyone is forcing you, it's you. Yes, there are many predatory practices put in place by Zos to encourage buying eso+ (the current event is a great example of this) but it's up to you to not get drawn into it.

    I've seen that the antiquities and resource weeklies seem to happen about once a month, and a couple of times twice a month.

    Those are the only ones I will do. I'm not fussed about getting SoE; there's just not that much in the crown store that I really want.

    I don't like all the thrashing around of pvp so usually avoid it except for dailies in Cyrodill (and then not so much). This is the first time all three weeky endeavors have been pvp. PVPers can always do overland without a problem if there are no pvp weeklies, and i'm fairly sure there is always one overland. But for those of us who don't enjoy pvp we either have to pass on the points or endure pvp this week. So I tried ramdom battlegrounds and it was more useless than I expected. But I played 4 and got the weekly after wasting an hour. ESO, please no more weekly endeavors which require pvp.

    Yeah they're so bad this week. I can do normal Maelstrom Arena I guess but it takes ages. /yawn My favourite is the harvest resources. A good opportunity to do those surveys. Or even better, complete x amount of quests - need more of those for us casuals! Don't do trials (I've been around since 2015 and never done one once lol) PvP, arenas or even dungeons much nowadays. I kindly request, o benevolent ZOS, grant unto me some less sweaty weekly endeavours. :)

    For those who have not done arenas before, I'd say doing normal Vateshran or Dragonstar arn't very hard. Vateshran is a solo one, and it got less instant death than Maelstrom does. Dragonstar is a "group" one, but can be soloed by many. (I often use it to level companions).

    If I weren't busy this week, making it hard play at a specific time, I'd offer to take anyone here through Dragonstar. My shedule is sadly only giving me free time on sunday.

    Also for those nervous about arenas. Maelstrom and Vatheshran have save points if you take the quest, so you can work on it little by little throughout the week rather than doing it all at once.

    Unfortunately I suffer from panic syndrome, and generalized anxiety, toc, and these "Trial, Arena, Battlegrounds" content make me anxious, and I've had anxiety and panic attacks because of these, I'm an extremely casual player in content because of my limitations, and this week unfortunately I feel excluded from the possibility of earning these endeavors points... maybe I'll try, but I'm afraid of crises...

    Not sure if you belong to a guild, but in one guild I'm in very often members run through Dragonstar arena solo and then invite others to join for the final boss. Usually that fight last seconds with a full group and there's very little involved but run across the area to the stairs, wait, obliterate, then go up the beam of light. You then get a chance at some decent weapons, and it counts as an arena completed.

    If you're on PC NA I'd be happy to pull you into the final group. No talking with group members needed, just smack the bad guy silly and done.

    Resource ones are obviously simple more so with surveys. Still miss the use ultimate 40 times who is very trivial on sorcerer or warden. Public dungeon group event, the public dungeon in Alki'r is your solution as its reset fast.
    Dungeons, you can solo normal fungal grotto fast if you don't want to do pledges or random normals, nFG1 is easier than newer DLC public dungeons. Arenas, normal maelstrom is easy but a long and slow.
    The antiquities one is more grindy than nMA but nice if you want to level up alts for the chest passive.

    Also if you have an friend, duoing normal dragonstar is an very fast way to level companions.
    We tend to invite guildmates for the last boss so they get weapon drops.

    Bering in an social guild is nice for this also for normal trials or pledges.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    Horrible options this week. I considered doing two nVHs, but I don't usually have the patience to go there more than once in a while. I chose BGs, taking advantage of tasty cake, and was surprised when none of the four matches were deathmatches. Two dominations (my favorite), one crazy king and one chaosball. Despite being very rusty, I didn't do as badly as I expected. Holding the chaosball, almost dead and wearing a set not very suited for that task, as my team reached 500 points gave me some euphoria I had forgotten about. Almost makes me want to go back to doing BGs regularly... almost.

    My experience was SORTA like that of @Carcamongus. Although I normally don’t pvp I did the 4 Battlegrounds. All 4 combined took around 45 minutes. Sadly, 3 of the 4 were deathmatches, my least favorite, and 1 was one of the more fun options. 3 of the 4 my team came in 2nd place so the dbl exp from the cake was nice. 1 we came in last but it still counted towards the endeavor. I did try my best, but I still felt sorry for my teammates being stuck with someone who normally doesn’t pvp. I might’ve helped my team more if I’d found a corner to hide in so I wouldn’t have gotten killed as much! 😂

    I have never done PvP, but seeing as I suck at arenas and won't hurt the team by doing trials, I had to try and do BG if I wanted the seals. I just grabbed a newish character (lvl 10) healer, and even though I only used my resto staff skills I tried to keep some of my teammates alive.

    My team placed 2nd twice 1st one and only got 3rd once. All told not to bad a run and I felt like I contributed at least a small bit by not sitting at spawn and didn't get yelled at for having to L2P.
    .
    Long story short, so long as I don't need to do them all the time, I don't think I will care. Not my cup of tea for sure, but I'm not gonna cry about it either.

    P.S. My opinion may change if I get a toxic team though.

    I tried a Battleground for the first time on PC EU tonight, for the daily endeavors. I could have easily done a different endeavor instead, but decided that doing one for the daily endeavors would count toward the weekly endeavor. I had no real idea what I was doing, and the other teams' players kept killing me with relative ease, but I think I killed a couple of them as well, and the experience was a lot more fun than trying (again, still unsuccessfully) to complete the seventh round of Maelstrom Arena.

    I made a kind of test dpssy healer lobie templar (resto staff, Julianos, Seduder, 2 Trainee) and tried him in 4x solo que battlegrounds and bunch of guild random normals. Surprisingly fun and smooth considering I have not done healing or battlergrounds at all before in eso and still lag in my end. Started at lv 11 and ended at 18, with no exp boost. Four BGs did not take long and I did not even feel completely useless after a match or two.

    I'm shocked to the core... Normal content is no more difficult than overland content, just try it. Go through nVH or nMA and you will see it. Or even shout in Craglorn and you'll be taken to some kind of normal trial. I just don't get it, this game probably needs another sub-normal difficulty mode for content.
