Durability in an MMO is nothing big although it could cost a little less. The idea is dying needs an actual setback and losing experience is too taboo in today's market (item/corpse loss like EQ days even more so). It is expensive at times but not unbearable.

Combat varies depending on how you play and build your character. as you level up and get new skills or upgrade them it helps and 5-10 skills (at 15 new weapon slot and its skill slots unlock) isn't near as bad as some fear as many skills do multiple things all at once.

I'm actually enjoying dungeons more in ESO than I have in years. It can be hectic as AoE taunts are from what I've seen is nonexistent so tank has to actually try, FPS may need to focus fire stragglers but more, and even some trash have skills/spells that have to be interrupted or maneuvered away from (big pulls in dungeons can go wrong easy especially if rare patrol comes along). It isn't too difficult with a good tank or healer but quite refreshing compared to some MMOs.

Plus boss fights even early on have a few tricks to keep you from just tank and spank the whole time. Some are easy like that of course but most require more thought and attention to do right.

My highest character is only 30 ATM but ran 9 real dungeons and if they are just the beginning I look forward to later ones.

There's nothing special about it. Just another MMO based on PvE.
