The loneliest mmo of all time...

Soul Shriven
Hey all,
Like many of you, I play mmo's to play with other people. And having other -snip- run around killing trash mobs in the same general vicinity as my quests does not qualify to me as playing with other people. Not only are there literally ZERO incentives to group in this game, nor are there any zone-wide group quests like in guild wars 2 and wildstar (besides anchors, which are meh after like the first 3, as they are in every other mmo that has used that tired old mechanic), but the game PUNISHES YOU FOR DOING DUNGEONS BY GIVING *** XP!!!!
I will make this real simple for the people at ESO. I want to be able to play with other players on a regular basis before having to sink 100 hours into the game to get to vr10 and do craglorn, but you just won't let me. PVP is just a total mess, its unbalanced and just really not fun to me, and anyway if an mmo's answer to me wanting to play with others is "go pvp" its already a fail. I want solid pve I can do with strangers since I have no friends that play this game, and I need other random players to be incentivized to play with me for that to ever really happen.
But no, this game gives almost no xp for dungeons. I got like half a level after doing 3 *** dungeons, spending about two hours total with the *** LFG system that isn't working because NO ONE WANTS TO WASTE TIME ON DUNGEONS GIVING NO XP BECAUSE THEY WANT TO GRIND THE 10 BILLION LONELY HOURS IT TAKES TO CRAGLORN SO THEY CAN FINALLY PLAY WITH OTHER PEOPLE.
I want this game to be good and to work, I really really do, and if they would just fix this stupid no xp for dungeons crap I could justify sinking in the exhaustive man hours it takes to reach craglorn and the end game content.
And btw, doing more quests in other zones is the shittiest excuse for end game content I've ever heard of. I love that it is available to do, I like pve, but it gets soooo boring since NO ONE has ANY incentive to group up for quests or dungeons. Here and there you get someone to play with for a few quests but overall its just not worth it and people don't do it.
For all the fan boys that are going to say a lot of stupid *** to defend the game, no I don't want to sit in home city and spam dungeons. I want something to break up the monotony of these sometimes ridiculously *** and lame quests.
Incentivize us to play with each other, don't punish us. Duh.
Fix it.

✭✭I find it hard to get some alone time tbh, not sure what you're doing wrong apart from not levelling.1 -

✭If you "play mmo's to play with other people" what other incentive do you need?
What you really meant to say was, "I play MMO's to be rewarded for playing with other people."
Otherwise you'd be out there introducing yourself to those "nubtards" questing in parallel with you because you like grouping. Not whining about there not being enough incentive to group."As an online discussion of Tamrielic Lore grows longer, the probability of someone blaming a Dragon Break approaches 1." -- Sheds' Law
Have you seen the Twin Lamps?3 -
tell me a reason why there is no incentive to group up in veteran areas? as a squishy templar healer i sometimes am in the need of a companion. But it seems to me that everyone is too egoistic in their personal questing to begin with. I have yet to receive an invite after my plea of help in the zone chat. So Iahwhite i have yet to meet any of your kind of player, if i do find one anytime soon i might take you seriously someday....1 -

iahwhiteSoul ShrivenI am constantly inviting other players around me to group, but most of them deny because they don't need to. I have spent a long long time trying to group with other players but it just never really works out, and I think its because there is no reason to and the quests are clearly not designed to be done by groups.1

DireKit✭✭✭WE CAN OFFER YOU HUGS, HUGS AND EXPLODING POTATOES.
The exploding potatoes are heavily fortified with Vitamin B6 and C as well as Vitamin NITROGLYCERIN!
Exploding potatoes, they do a body BOOOOOOOOM!3 -
iahwhiteSoul ShrivenLol I love how -snip- just can't accept when something is wrong with their game. It's like no matter how much you explain and point out, they just always find some stupid thing to say about it like "oh well this isn't that kind of game" or "you must be doing it wrong".
Well, guess what -snip-, I know exactly what kind of game it's going to be. Free to play.

For me, phasing problems are why grouping with random players to do quests is never my first choice. There is nothing worse than to start attacking a group of mobs and your group member has disappeared because of phasing.1 -

✭✭✭✭✭I group regularly in the world and for dungeons. I find that having a friendly, moderated tone usually helps me find group members and friends.----

Phantorang✭✭✭✭How about you spend some time to get into a nice PvE guild? There you get to know otherplayers who also dont know anyone else in the game, myself included. That way, if you are a decent person, you will most likely be asked to join alot of stuff in groups made by the guild.
You should try it, its recommended.Fimbulwinter Recruiting true Vikings | Campaigns score | EU PC0
