When you enter a PVP zone, expect PVP.
Does getting ganked while you are loading in at a door count as PvP?

Kill them and when they send a hate whisper, respond with 'L' once and then watch them fume.
Re: It's time to remove the ignore resistance effect of Javelin and its morphs

Because it was; before hybridization, ZOS toyed with classes and sets getting 1-2 skills with dynamic scaling or ignoring armor. This was also before CP 2.0, which was very hybrid unfriendly. Back then, you lost like 4k penetration, 11% magical damage, 20% direct, in addition to not having the right resource/damage/crit, so any skill that didn't match your side of the coin, hit like a wet noodle.
With update 5.0.5, the same year as the Javelin change, they gave dynamic scaling for Sorc on Streak, NB's Summon Shade, DK's FoO, etc. I bet this was the year they made the Storm Fist monster set have the shock portion ignore armor, so stamina players could actually use it (this effect was removed with hybridization/cp2.0 at some point).
They noted in update 5.2.5 that the armor ignore for Javelin was to give the abilities a unique auxillary effect.
Re: Can we please have The Master Weapons as outfit styles?
Largely never noticed or bothered about these, but I've always loved the look of the Dark Elf staff, I was so disappointed when I first found it and asked about the style.
Looking through them now, the Breton staff is also really nice.

They look awesome and we got other arenas and trial styles, such as Maelstrom's. I always wanted to get those staff styles, for instance. What do you think?
Re: What does "Deal Damage" mean?
There are two types of PvP damage Endeavours;
'Deal Damage' means damage to other players.
'Deal Damage with Siege Weapons' means, damage with Siege Weapons only.
In isolation, the Endeavour context is confusing, but when you see both, it makes some sense.
I think ZOS should change the tool-tip to make it clear what it relates to.

Re: What does "Deal Damage" mean?
Should be anykind of damage. But that doesnt mean much if the endeavor is bugged.

That’s not how the crit cap works. It’s not a set threshold programmed into the game. 125% is what people have suggested for years because it’s the maximum amount you can reach before you start running into diminishing returns. With the new mythic and subclassing, that doesn’t matter. People are running around with 150% crit damage and hitting for every bit of it.
If you meant that critical damage shouldn’t go any higher than 100% period, then people will just spec more into w/s damage and still hit like trucks.
Well, not really. It is a set threshold programmed into the game - 125% is the maximum crit damage in PvE. Any amount higher does nothing.
In PvP, people have crit resist, and the cap is applied AFTER Crit Resist is accounted for, so you can push closer to 140% or so and still not worry about reaching cap. It's still a set threshold, its just that much like Pen vs Resistance, you can go over the cap because PvP has counterplay stats taken into account before the cap is applied.

Subclassing isn't balanced, will never be balanced, cannot be balanced.
The decision to implement subclassing probably influenced the decision to experiment with Vengeance.
