Can we stop nerfing the grinding spots please?

Schallen · June 2014

It seems that every time there is a VR grinding spot you guys nerf it. Why? Can it please be my option to level up quickly so I can do PVP? A lot of people would say just go level up in PVP. Well, it takes decades. Just because they doubled the XP inside PVP, doesn't mean i'm gonna be able to level up quickly. Theres a bunch of VR12s now that have done nothing but grinding to get there. Why should I have to go do a bunch of boring un entertaining quests so I can PVP? I bought the game for PVP, and intended to play PVP. Now days I cant play PVP without getting four shotted by a Dragon Knight VR 12. The balancing in PVP is a whole different topic for another time..

But like to be able to feel like more than canon fodder as a Nightblade in PVP. To be completely honest, if you think I will sub longer because it will take me longer to get VR12 if you nerf the grinding, I wont, because I am getting incredibly bored quest grinding. I just plain and simple don't want to do it anymore. The stories are more or less the same, the quests are more or less the same, it just feels like the same thing but it tales for ever.

If by grinding spots you mean the anomalies then I'm afraid the answer is "no".

They are nerfing the ones that allows random zergs just spamming anything but keeping the ones that require a group to be formed and some skill.

So any instance that you need a group of four, you can still group up and farm the bosses there for 37k each, but the zerg farming, they are nerfing but not into the ground, just to try to make it not the fastest option.

The daily quests give lots of exp but they need skill.

Well , if it deppends on me entering a group to play like that , i would rather unsub :P.

Still got one zone left , before in theory i will be stuck on lvling since vr11/12 requires said groups and not the zergs anymore , better be a long , long zone , if zen wants my sub.

I'm assuming you are talking about the easy button to Vr 12 that is anomalies. In that case, no.

Sorry you'll have to play the content like the rest of us. If you are in this game only for the pvp, you are in it for the wrong reasons...and honestly if you bought it just for pvp you made a poor choice as there are other games out there with far better pvp that don't require a sub.

Players like you who just want to rush to max are the last thing we need, because they encourage zenimax to to release pvp only content, when what the game sorely needs is more pve options..

buff the quest xp above anomalies and watch the playerbase flourish

If by decades you mean less than two months, then I guess I only have about 3 months or so to live.

Sadly, this is how I feel as well. I enjoyed the anomalies for the past few days because I could participate without having to be in a group. If I needed to go afk, I wasn't inconveniencing anyone else by having to do so.

Just to be clear, I am not one of those players who demand a fully solo experience. I tend to be a dedicated raider so I appreciate group content. The only progression path from VR10 onward should never be forced group content.

Inco · June 2014

Yes.. Now all the VR1-VR8 will need to actually complete Cadwell's missions instead.

Dang it.. I was so looking forward to leveling another VR12 via Anomalies and skipping every "Rescue cat in tree" mission for the last two alliances.

SBR_QuorTek · June 2014

Honestly... we are meant to play the game not archieve max level in 2 weeks... on the other hand make the Cadwells gold give a better reward... like maybe 10 more attribute points granted once finished it all and dunno 300 points to all stats as well or something making it worth while.

It is not cadwells quests that is difficult at all.

Recap · June 2014

Yeah playing the first story line was enough for me. I dragged through DC, and I haven't done an AD quest in like 3 weeks. Glad I got to grind before they nerfed everything because the quests get boring.

Recap · June 2014

Not all of us want to spend weeks upon weeks completing mediocre quest lines.

Give your head a shake! It was not grinding, it was flying through levels!

*grind spots* LOL

This isnt wow! Haha!

The whole idea of ESO is not to stand at the same place, killing the same thing over and over again. Havnt you understood that by now?

Your reply is kind of ironic considering that I literally stand there and kill the same thing over and over again on repetitive boring quests. Even if its not the same thing it sure feels like it.

Don't worry, I just bought Skyrim for the PVP. I'll be okay. The commie *** really showed me the light.

So what your saying is that I absolutely have to group up to get to level VR12?

For a moment I thought I was playing Elder Scrolls.... Sheesh!

To the op! I'm in the same boat mate. I joined to play PVP, but the grind is far too much. The last few days I have spent more time on Nether.

I want to play ESO, but they make is so I don't want too...

Nathano · June 2014

Perhaps they should concentrate on making veteran leveling a less painful experience then people wouldn't be searching for ways to skip it. As it stands I am struggling to get 1 character through veteran content. There is not a chance in hell I am going to do it with another character.

Perhaps they should scrap the idea completely and give every player that hits 50 a free XP boost to VR10. and every player that has already done it a unique title and free pet.

Then follow it up with an apology for being so bloody stupid. It is beyond belief that anyone thought that it was a good idea. In order to play the 'new' content, I have to put hours and hours of time playing other factions that I don't even want to do.

What do they think will happen? Most people only have a couple of hours a day to play games. Is this just a game for dossers that don't work? Am I destined to just be playing catch up the whole time I am here?

canghai · June 2014

lol i love how ZOS advertises the 2 other zones as if it were actual significant content, its just a way for them to recycle old content, it is boring and a chore and worst of all not fun, without anomalies lvling to vr12 would literally be like washing the dishes

and im talking about the dishes that have dried sauce on the corners where u have to scrub it real hard and sometimes it still wont come off, so u have to soak the dish in water for a few hours so it becomes soft and scrap-able

Hilgara · June 2014

V12 should be earned not gifted. Otherwise you might as well just give people maxed level characters on day 1. I do concede that you should be able to gain more X through PvP if that's your thing though. But you should have to play the PvP content not exploit it.

Artemiisia · June 2014

do shade tear full dungeon, gives 1.000.000 xp no kidding, tested it twice, but the catch is kill everything, and dont wipe

Very wise words I completely agree.

Personally I would also support people being rolled back for having cheated their way to vr12 using an exploit, but zenimax did an error they should had hot fixed it at once instead of letting it go on for days.

People are not allowed to complain about an exploit being fixed either.

methjester · June 2014

They're just looking to lighten the server loads. it's working.

Still_Mind · June 2014

Let the "griding zones" burn in hell. Had enough grinding in LA2 and Tera (it was pretty much the *only* way of levelling), and I certainly don't want grinding to be the best way of levelling in ESO.

Making people do actual content is a nice way to do it. VR dungeons already give very nice Vet XP, but no, there's always the vocal individuals who want to follow the path of least resistance, and would have it no other way.

SBR_QuorTek · June 2014

Dunno VR Quests in VR zones actually give a butt load each... buffing them up more would be too much... if you do some pvp at the side line from vr1 to 12 and pve at the same time... you would get xp quite fast.

Completely remove grinding spots would be good and let the good XP require a group not a zerg.
