This is usually the first thing I look for. I love ganking and going treasure chest hunting in Capstone cave. Memorized the locations of all the NPC spawns. First thing I do when I enter is look to see if the usual NPCs are up.

✭lol I went in there once to kill a boss for the ap boost, wasn't interested in the mobs, just wamted to get in and out asap but ended up losing my way a bit in my haste. I streak past these 2 guys twice in about 30 secs while trying to find the way, and immediately get a /w "dude pls". Had no idea what he meant at the time, it only occured to me later. Wished I'd hung around for a bit now, probably could have had some fun.PC | EU2 -

On the other hand, two people is about the max that place can handle before xp plummets for everyone.
If people are routinely asking you to stop leeching, then it sounds like you are nerfing them and yourself by grinding when there's a group already there, and you really should, out of courtesy and just common sense, go somewhere else so that you'll get more xp, and you won't nerf theirs.Winni

✭You are right, they don't belong to me. However because I am a polite and civil person, who appreciates how annoying it js when your XP gets halved because people come in and start leeching from you, I take the philosophy that if I go I to the cave and it is already taken, I will go elsewhere. Maybe everyone should do the same.
Of course if people do come from my faction and start leeching and messing up my rotation I just pay some friends from another faction to come kill them. Job done.Lastobeth - VR16 Sorc - PvP Rank 41 (AD)

You know some of us have killed him, I am sure. The one dev of them all that obviously plays in cyrodiil, judging by the things hes said over the last year or so.
We will never know who he is, hell he might be someone you know in TS and everything and not realize it.
But im sure hes been ganked many times.
PS: To the OP, I own whatever cave I am in, feel free to try, and I say tryyyyy in a long manner there, to come take it from me.Edited by Rylana on June 24, 2015 8:35AM@rylanadionysis == Closed Beta Tester October 2013 == Retired October 2016 == Uninstalled @ One Tamriel Release == Inactive Indefinitely

Atirez✭✭Cyrodiil: The fight for Cracked Wood Cave
Hi, now you have reached level 10 you are eligible to come to Cyrodiil where massive PvP battles rage across the landscape. It is your mission, to push the enemy back past Cracked Wood Cave so that your alliance players can grind in peace.
Set traps and ambushes in the gulleys, Trebechet would be grinders from other alliances perched atop higher ground. Gank those evil doers in the depths of the Goblin infested cave.
Choose your campaign, your Alliance needs you.

That's because PVP can be stupidly expensive. Having to buy siege, soul gems, wall repair kits... it can end up costing a hell of a lot of money, and you don't get too much out of it. Cracked Wood is pretty much free than some armor upkeep.So, the biggest attractor in Cyrodiil isn't one of the massive keeps, strategically placed outposts or valuable resources. It's an underground goblinpile
Heh, there's a lesson here in terms of what will actually draw people into a fight.

That's pretty much what I tell guildies when I take them to Cyrodiil for PvE. On the way out, though KILL ALL THE THINGS!!!!TBH this is a mechanic which still bugs me about MMO games.
Come and join a game and play with millions of other players, however if you play with more than one other you will get less EXP and thus should be more anti-social in our social based game.
How do you solve that, though? Should mobs really give more XP the easier they are to kill? I'm amazed that ESO even gives you an individual XP boost if you are in a group of two. In every logical sense, a mob should have a fixed amount of XP and it should be divided by the number of players that hit it.
Yet in ESO, total by mob XP goes up till at least 4 players (I haven't tested past that). That's really very nice of them.
