Well, you can eventually - any event tickets you don't use right now carry over to the next group of events, which I think are in the summer - but yeah, I get being discouraged by that. (I probably shouldn't tell you about the Summerset event that was just in September or so, huh?)

That's as may be, and once I get there I'll probably wander off to other games. However, I've been playing for 7 months now and it's only been with the Halloween event's XP boosts that I've even got *one* character anywhere remotely near endgame-level. There's still so much questline I haven't done, still like six areas I haven't even been to yet, never mind the DLC questlines... :)
It works for me, and it's a bonus that it's (as MMOs go) so cheap. Sorry it was a drag for you.
MMOs have a metric kind of like butts in seats for schools, and it tends to overpower fun a lot.

I have one at endgame-ish. One of the cool things about ESO is you can mix and match and still be kind of effective, though various nerfs have, I've heard, made you more dependent on specific builds. The high-level one is a storm sorcerer with heavy armor and a two-handed sword, because leaping into battle with lightning flashing is never a bad thing.

OMG is this really a workable thing?! I feel a lot less weird about my 2h magplar with heavy armor that I've been head-canoning as a paladin (I've been given to understand that you only do heavy armor if you're a tank. Which is kinda sorta the plan for doing the little bit of group stuff that I do...)
That sounds awesome.

Workable-ish anyway. Was pretty freakin' awesome a couple of years ago. Haven't played regularly for a while so not sure how balance has changed, still need to do another required respec for most of my toons after some update. My understanding is that the original idea of allowing you to do anything you want and still be viable is basically dead, but I'm a filthy casual so what do I care.

I am spending a lot of time right now "working" and trying to learn this place and others (just started Prolific yesterday), so less time on games. I had some fun with ESO and I try to keep it updated, but I'm not sure I want to do another deep dig to see what all the new metas are (another thing I hate about MMOs, I'm lucky to have a friend who experiments with ship builds in Star Trek Online or I'd have left ages ago, the DPS Queens have kind of ruined that endgame).
