So , lets get this right , you want them to nerf it , so that others are FORCED to play the content with you ... great.

madmacb16_ESO · June 2014

Yes exactly - play the game not farm a chest for gold, materials and gear every 4 minutes

Mate , i dont really give damm about the gold , only the exp.

I wont play the group content ... which means , i dont really have the exp to get to vet12 on the solo content. I zerg , because i wont be bothered to group and this will remain true one way or the other , if there is no anomally to zerg , you can be damm sure i will either exploit something else or dont even play the game till they add such means.

RivenCsky · June 2014

I think your missing the underlining issue. Players want to get to the max level as soon as possible and these same players have been leveling up solo (not in dungeons) since level one.

ESO all of a sudden at Vet level expected everyone to switch play style and become exclusive dungeon raider for end game with no incentives.

The players have spoken with their actions, now the Dev's need to take notice and adjust.

madmacb16_ESO · June 2014

Ok ill wait for "Changes to anomalies" on Monday see what happens before I decide to jack it in

I guess I wouldn't mind NOT doing CONTENT as much if I got a share of the XP farm/exploit mobs get - but that isn't going to happen without changes/nerfs

Anyway my annoyance rant is over I will STFU

davidetombab16_ESO · June 2014

anomalies are the only good things of eso.

Natjur · June 2014

There are still tons of easy farms for 37k per kill once the Anaomolies are nerfed. They just require more skill instead of a wave of 12+ players just charging in spamming anything.

This.

NoMoreChillies · June 2014

maybe if quests gave the same XP per hour as anomalies currently do then players would enjoy all the content.

Venithar · June 2014

Anomalies were great for the PvPers that want nothing to do with PvE as it allowed them to level up relatively quickly and skip all the crap ZoS tried to shove down their throats

Qumulous · June 2014

I hope they get the nerf and craglorn gets some sort of progression restriction. They really need to get quest progression restrictions in the game so people stop exploiting ways to gain exp.

Do the quests, I've done them all solo asked for help maybe on 2-3 quests. Please put the wussified gamers in check if they want easy and fast then let them go play those games.

+1
and i´am not playing an MMO to play it SOLO...
that is what is completly wrong about ESO

Bloodfang · June 2014

Anomalies will get nerfed. However there is plenty wrong with all the world events in ESO anyway. But the biggest problem is the mmo playerbase, they are just not used to having to make an effort to reach end level, and guess what ESO is not so much about the end game but the journey..

Seriously?....if running from one anomaly to another with absolutely no risk, no challenge, no thought required is the best thing in the game then you really need to find another game.

Jeseril · June 2014

I agree with the nerf. In my guild we have at least 5 players who rushed to get to 12
for the trials. Now they are talking about going to anouther game because the rest of the guild is playing threw the PVE content and their tired of waiting for them to get to 12. Ive done the Anons many times -- what I dont like is the focus on 12 man groups to get the max Exp. Leaving every one else, who are in smaller groups or soloing, getting almost no Exp. Their also seems an inbalance to the loot drops. Ive been playing a Sorc and cant get any drops with Magica or Health on Light armour. Been working on Anons for a couple of weeks now .. and all that drops are pieces that have Sta. on them in -- Heavy - Med- or Light armour. I have gotten staffs and maybe a chest piece once or twice, I vendor or breakdown more STa pieces than anthing else. this need to be balanced more.

Kalika · June 2014

Point is this... People are paying to play this game. I applaud ESO for the time they spent on developing such beautiful content. It is very clear that a lot of love has gone into making this enjoyable for all types of gamers. I have to "strongly" disagree with removing an aspect of a game that, paying customers, want to be able to enjoy. If people wish to "grind" or "farm" their way to higher levels, you should let them.

dbishop · June 2014

You should see someone about your depression. Its not healthy to have it from a video game.
The Anom game is not for you or many others BUT the people doing it are happy. They have paid to be there. They have quested to 50. They have beaten Molag Bor. Once they ding VR12 they go back to PvP or move on. That's what those people enjoy. Apparently you get a little dopamine buzz when you do things like leveling so that's what that crowd is after. They don't want to do all the questing again.
Do what makes you happy. If no-one wants to roll dungeons with you then you need to switch guilds to find a more active one.

you are a complete fool if you think its wise ever in any situation to FORCE people to stop doing something they choose to do in the belief they will then start doing what you want them to do.

That might work if you were their boss and were paying them a salary... however these are paying customers you are trying to force into actions they dont like.

you know what i do if a shop decides to remove strawberry ice cream cos the owner feels i should eat vanilla?

i take my money elsewhere.....

smercgames_ESO · June 2014

Not everyone loves questing. Personally I hate some of these quests. "Please go grab that book from that table then grab an apple from the other side of the room" SO EXCITING! One reason why I hated the first 10 levels was I just wanted to kill stuff not turn into a messenger. If they let you level in PvP then people would be filling Cyrodiil and the campaigns wouldn't be so darn empty. Let people level how they want. The problem isn't anoms, the problem is the guys looking for groups don't have enough people around to group with. I really don't care what everyone else is doing, I just want to compete with all the legendary V12s out there so I force myself to do a boring grind to level up the quickest but I lose out on skill points and gold so why should I be forced to play how YOU want? It's amusing when people think "play how you want" means everyone should play exactly how they specifically want instead of letting people do their own thing.

If you want to do group content but can't find someone, roll a DK and solo it

captain_awesome · June 2014

Unfortunately it is weak and it is an exploit - it's obviously unintended gameplay and therefore a cheat sonny. It's why it will be patched out, you know it, I know it, hell everyone knows it. I suggest you try to play the game as it's intended, you might enjoy it more than running from one anomaly to the next every four minutes for hours.

Lord_Draevan · June 2014

I do find it annoying that most people only farm anomalies/burials since I have 3 quests (Shattered and the Lost, Warrior's Call and Elemental Army) I've been trying to complete for weeks but never get 4 people... I occasionally get 1 or 2, but it takes too long to get the required 4 so they leave.

I undertsand not everyone quests, which would be fine if I could solo these quests, but you NEED a 4 player group to do them.

Tavore1138 · June 2014

I got back from anomalies and am back to the tedious braindead futility of receiving instant death from nowhere in the laggy quest zones from trash mobs they haven't been bothered to fix and refuse to acknowledge are still broken.

I can't group with people because no-one is there and if I try to group with my wife or other people I know it inevitably doesn't work because they are not in the precise same 5 milliseconds of the storyline.

People went to grind because the grind of hitting a red crystal & actually getting something from it is massively more interesting then being repeatedly killed for weeks only to get 300g & a token number of VP which doesn't even cover the inflated repair costs from the mob that killed you while you were stuck trying to swap weapons or trying to get another bugged ability to fire.

jonasa100 · June 2014

do you guys even understand that they/we are loosing players left and right. anyone that is thinking nerf to anything in this game should understand a simple truth: nerf anything at this point = loss in subs (get it right the first time and maybe test it before release). for you pve guys out there you wont have anyone to group with because they are going to other games. pvpers same thing. this game should have never went to market in this condition period. now that we have nothing but broken game play, we have to live with it or move on. as a pvper these anom's helped to get the levels so I could start playing kinda the way i wanted? which was the intent I thought. next time your in game look at all 5 of your guilds and see how well this is going....I had so many high hopes for this game but it has failed horribly and the fixes /lol are just helping everyone to move on to the next game.

you would think after a while mmo companies would learn they are an entertainment company and should actually listen to their clients, ZENIMAX LISTEN TO THIS PAYING CUSTOMER, YOU HAVE FAILED AND CONTINUE TO FAIL, START BEING PROFESSIONAL AND LISTEN TO YOUR CLIENTS THAT YOU HAVE LEFT BEFORE THEY ARE ALL GONE

Give them a chance to fix the issues in the main content. Abusing a loophole in the content should never become a de-facto way to progress.

And there are just as many people calling for the anomalies to be nerfed as there were complaining about it so its not as though there's a general agreement that it should be left as is.
