ZOS PvP Combat Experience Team,

Hi, I'm writing this in order to share some feedback regarding PvP in Cyrodiil.

Allow me to open this by saying I've had many years of PvP w/ ESO, including Cyrodiil. Over the last two or three years I've found myself logging in to Cyrodiil PvP less and less. I had already stopped logging into BGs consistently because of the Ice Warden groups and things of that nature there. But Cyrodiil has over time become something of a brick wall. It used to be fun when there was plenty of people logging in and we had big fights and such. Now, it's become rather stale. In (2) out of the (3) Cyrodiil servers, it's basically consistently dominated by (1) faction. DC on Ravenwatch and AD on Blackreach. So, with this said, there are some problems here.

The first issue is when you have a faction that just totally locks everything down, no one wants to deal with them. Everything is just uphill and it's like there is no healthy competition. Greyhost still has some competition because people login regularly (when they can) but for the other servers it's like, I really just can't justify trying. Even if like let's say we don't care about the score, it's hard to fight for the faction just for the sake of doing so.

Which brings me to the second problem, many times in places like Blackreach or Ravenwatch, if I do anything I'm jumped by like 3 to 10 people. Meaning like, for every one of us not part of the 'global' faction the odds are massively stacked against us. It's just hard to play the game, it's hard to do anything with uh 5v1 coming after us for every keep or rss we take. It's for this reason that factions stay gated for days sometimes. And then there's the sorc problem.

Sorcs are absolutely out of control powerful. I'm just in awe at how strong the Sorc class is over everyone else. I mean my DK is built very strong and they still CC me and kill me consistently. That's another thing I don't like, the fights aren't fair, its CC and kill. Um... why do we need so much CC in this game? Meteors have been basically one-shotting me recently too. Its like all they have to do is either use curse or meteor with CC and that's it. It doesn't matter how much mitigation I have, or impen or nothing. This is out of control. There's no contest. Your PvP is not balanced. I can't even think about making a damage build because I wouldn't live long enough to use it.

And let me be clear, this isn't me mad because I don't win all the time. Isn't about that. I just know that if I don't go into Cyrodiil with full mitigation then I don't live long enough to get CC'd and then die. I experimented with like a medium build this last week and generally speaking all it took was a single meteor to kill me. And all this is before we even start talk about ball groups. You know, you have a real moral issue here and you guys have created something that is just not playable. I'm sorry but its not. PvP in Cyrodiil is really not even worth trying except on Greyhost but even then you have many of these same problems.

I just don't understand why I should keep logging in when there really is no sport in PvP anymore. Its whoever has the ball groups or whoever has the best Sorcs, with a couple guilds, whom have really turned alot of people off with their attitude and bias towards others, running the show when they should not be. You guys have a real issue here and unless something is done, you're going to have two dead PvP servers. I know several others who have left, and we want to PvP, but things are REALLY one-sided on these servers.
