The fantasy MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online has presumably addressed the community’s concerns and has more strictly regulated the planned experience point potions.
About a month ago an image surfaced that data miners had found. It showed an EXP booster, a potion that promised 50% more EXP. This caused a bit of excitement. Players were mainly concerned that it could have an impact in “PvP” if players progressed significantly faster than everyone else. Overall, there were also concerns at that time that the game might tilt towards a “pay to progress” direction due to the cash shop.
Now the same potion has been posted again by a data miner. However, it now has significant restrictions. It can no longer be used by players who have already reached veteran rank. So it can only be used in the first leveling phase up to 50.
A Zenimax employee spoke up in the thread in the English-speaking part of the official forum and reiterated that this is “datamining”. Therefore, it is neither live nor official and can be changed at any time. However, they appreciate the feedback. The community in the official forum mostly reacted with relief.
