The veteran ranks that one must climb in The Elder Scrolls Online after reaching the maximum level are for many players a reason for criticism. Once you reach Rank 1, it feels like you’re hitting a wall. Before that, everything went relatively smoothly, but starting from Rank 1, the difficulty increases significantly, and going solo became much harder.
While the increased difficulty can be seen as a challenge, for many players it was simply TOO hard. They felt forced to level up in groups, and “forced” is something you really don’t want in a game. The developers seem to agree with this, as the veteran system is being completely overhauled.
