No exp Jubilee Cake in PVP!?!

Why can't I use the HAPPY 2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY DOUBLE EXP BUFF WHILE in a PVP zone?

Do I not earn exp while in this zone? When I turn in quests does my exp bar not go up?

Is there a reason I have to leave Cyrodil to activate this 2 hour buff only to spend 5 minutes of it waiting in a queue to get back to the part of the game I enjoy best?

    Because if it work in pvp, or if you don't lose the buff when you die, then the campaign would full of pve players farming IC and cracked wood cave and the queue would be 100+.

    Cuase they care less about us pvp'ers that wanna grind and use the DLC that was intended for us.

    That's okay though. I used Activity finder and gains half a vet level from one dungeon. Then did maelstrom a couple times and gains a level and a half. Went VR 11 to VR 13 in a couple hours.

    But I agree. We gain our exp in Cyrodiil and IC. Why the hell cant I use it there and why is it disappearing once I die? Stupid

    They can farm all they want, i'd then farm them.

    It's a annoying reason, pvp players can't use it in pvp because pve players?

    It's not about farming each other, it's about the popular cap. How can you farm them if you can't even step into Cyrodiil? A campaign only have like 200 slots per faction. People who really want to go to Cyrodiil for pvp will have to wait in a loooong queue just because pve players want to farm mobs, which they already have the rest of Tamriel to do.

    There should be 0 pve in pvp, including in IC.

    Basically because of pve, pvp players can't have double exp in pvp is what your saying.

    I'm just saying the thing that ZOS has decided, with a guess about the reason why they do that. It's the better of 2 evils. You rather wait for an hour in queue, or wait 5m to log out, use cake and queue back in?

    Well considering my home campaign rarely get 2 bars population of DC even at peak hours, i won't be waiting for anything.

    Because to ZoS PVPer's aren't "everyone" we are more like the red headed *** children and they don't like us. They would rather tend to their PVE players and sell them a new mount\costume so they can make extra $. Or maybe... just maybe this is so they don't have to hear about the lag that is still in PVP and how that will never go away.
