You haven't even bought the game and you're chiming in on the subject... My god.
Do me a favor, buy the game...level up to 35ish and head to one of the 3 zones these mobs spawn in. Spend 2 weeks camping the spawns with hundreds of other players like I did. Watch the rare mobs spawn and then Immediately get insta killed by said other players on several occasions. Then after the mobs are killed, enjoy the mass spamming of "WTS vampire bite, starting bid 30k" or something similar by the people that just killed the mobs. After you've done this, come back and tell me if you are having fun and enjoying your "hardcore" mmo experience.
Because I've heard/read complaints just like this in every F___ING MMO I've ever played and the answer is always the same. If you don't play their game (the people camping) they will give up. Period.
This sort of camping is killing the game for me I think . I wasn't aware it was happening with werewolves and vampires but I have encountered it with people farming dungeon bosses .
So there is currently a big issue, at least in my mind, with the vampire/werewolf system.
There are currently many guilds/role-players camping out the werewolf/vamp spawns and immediately killing the mobs so that nobody can acquire the skill lines. They do this to either simply grief players or to drive up the price on buying a "bite" from someone who is already a vampire or werewolf.
Because of this issue, I finally gave in and decided to buy a bite.
There's no way to avoid being scammed since the use of the skill isn't tied to the trading system. The "standard" is for the biter to get all of the gold up front because they hold all the power. If you don't want to give them the gold up front, there's an infinite amount of other customers who will.
So, I paid some guy 15k to get bitten. I traded him the 15k and then in chat he said, "Now repeat after me...I am a moron" and then logged off.
I'm not at all salty over 15k gold since it isn't very much. I understood that getting scammed was possible and I felt 15k wasn't enough to not go through with it. I just find it disheartening that ZOS would encourage such actions because of how they designed the vamp/were system. I of course reported this player immediately with a screenshot of the last bit of the conversation (that quote and then him leaving the party and logging off). This was 5 days ago and I have yet to hear a response from ZOS. I highly doubt anything will happen to this player and I highly doubt I'll get my 15k gold back.
How do you guys feel about the way vampire/werewolf works right now? I personally don't find the current system fun in any way. It isn't fun camping a spawn with 200 other people that you know are just going to screw you over. It's not fun risking your currency to buy a skill line from another player. And lastly, it isn't fun playing a game that has a community of scammers and griefers. Scamming and griefing is 100% acceptable in full-loot sandbox MMOs...but ESO certainly isn't one of those.
Thoughts?
Wowww, that is actually pathetic for them to do this. I don't agree on scamming and griefing is a 100% acceptable in any games, I'm not saying it should be completely controlled, but there should be a justice system. Seriously these type of people is what's wrong in the society mainly.
Whatever happened to gamers just helping each other out? selling vampire and ww bites is just very silly concept to me. I give WW bites for free to anyone in game who needs it. Its my FU to all greedy people.
So these mobs they can't instance specifically to a player so they can get them, but they can put friends in separate instances when they're trying to help each other out/play together. Awesome.
Seriously did they not think things through or what?
This kind of shit should be in a solo instance.
Why do I write, create, fantasize, dream and daydream about other worlds? Because I hate what humanity does with this one.

Not stolen, given away by a dummy.
Reminds me of when I purchased a horse in UO and 10 minutes later realized it was summoned
*poof*
Although it didn't hurt the pocket book as your virtual non bite did
