The wonderful people that are XP Grinders in PvP

mtwiggz

Absolutely love grinding in CWC. Decent mix of grind and PvP. Stand your ground and they won't come back. If you can't kill them then maybe they belong there and you don't.

I would have come back endless times until they gave up or I beat them. Not going to be chased out by some entitled loser. Must be the Marine in me.

I can never understand grinding mobs of random enemies when Questing gets you as much XP, but without the repetetive boredom...

Sure, I have plenty of time in EverQuest, Ultima Online, Asheron's Call, and a whole host of early MMO's where the grinding of mobs was necessary; but it's not necessary in ESO.

Maybe I'm just old, but I can't fathom why this would be attractive as an option for players...

It would have been funny if you came back with more friends, then he had more friends appear, then you brought more friends, until the largest battle on the map wasn't over a keep, it was over CWC. Then Lord Lag would appear, and all would tremble....

I don't care what you're doing, If you're in Cyrodiil, people will kill you. That's the risk of grinding there.
Guy was being a baby, but had every right to kill you.

There should be more grinding options in PVE zones(or more alternatives to grinding because grinding is stupid), but it's not like that right now.

Problem is, didn't ZOS make a concerted effort to devalue all the best grinding spots? Doesn't ZOS realize how stupid the Vet levels are and that's why people grind XP? Of course they do..

Of course ZOS realises that, so they are taking away Vet Levels so you can grind CP instead...

Girlfriend and I planned a night of XP grinding in Crackwood, all was going fine till some jerk showed up.

Aforementioned Jerk then verbally abused me telling me to F*** off as he wants to grind that our presence is ruining is grind and the such before threatening me, I just ignored him and carried on my grind. Few minutes pass and he says that he gave us a chance and now we are going to pay, thats when his v16 DC friends show up and kill us.

First off, what a lovely show of faction unity! Selling out your fellow AD to DC just for a bit of extra XP, well done!

Seriously why do people feel entitled to claim areas in this game, so many times i've been told to leave from people grinding and roleplaying as if Im not allowed in that area??

Do people not understand that with the XP event going on that most grind locations will be busy? Yeah it sucks that XP gets reduced and that people will want to use their stacked buff to full potential but you still get more XP than you would without the buffs.

It annoying, I always get asked by potential players how the community is and I always try and defend it but recently its really shown how toxic some people are. Especially with ZOS just giving them a slap on the wrist or 5 minutes on the naughty step.

I haven't touched my cake just for this reason. I'm waiting till this cake phenomenon calms down before I use it. Sorry that happened to you all.

Just to let you know the cake is reusable all week so even if you use it once you can keep buffing your XP all week and once the week ends the cake loses its buff and is just for show so I would use it before it's too late.

Oh wow ty. Oh my gosh lol. I thought it was two hours per slice so I swore I was being clever by saving my slices lol.

Oh, right. Silly me.

While I am not upset that PvP happened in a PvP zone, there are a few players that act very poorly towards others. I don't usually grind in CWC but I understand how it feels to be on the receiving end of unsportmanlike conduct that breaks the spirit of the game.


Sometimes it is frustrating when someone ruins your grind, but usually a little whisper and some coordination works it out. For instance CWC has two chambers, I have split those chambers with someone else. Or if someone is just coming in for the clear achievement, I will intentionally leave the bosses up for them so they can clear quickly then they will leave and be out of my hair. A little kindness goes farther than vitriol in most cases.


However we have some types players that won't bother doing that. Besides getting cross faction friends to wipe you there is another bad mannered technique I have ran in to in the imperial city.

They will group with you, run a few rotations of the grind, then tell you they are moving to a different campaign, (which is supposedly better for grinding). They send you an invite and as soon as you port, they drop you from group knowing that they have a good 10 minutes before you can horse all the way back to the campaign they are in.

This is disgusting conduct and I wish I could call out the names of the people that do this but I will abide by the naming and shaming rules. However I do know that those people now on multiple peoples Kill on Sight lists and have tarnished their reputations even within their own faction.

Karma gets them eventually.

Unfortunately naming and shaming on these forums always seems to work in favor of the suspect. Like protection for his outstanding reputation.

Lol. I heard from my PvP guildies that tbagging is now a bannable offence. LOL! I guess the "we're so offended" craze has moved from the campuses to the game world.

Try Old Orsinium or Rkindaleft! really nice XP there.

You should of told him you were roleplaying....well we all know the kind of trouble you can get in when you interrupt Roleplayers now don't we.

I admit i send hate mail while grinding in the sewers. But its only to obvious moochers and people that steal your chest and go right back to mooching off you. They are easy to spot. Usually dramatically under leveled, cant survive on their own and sit in corners until someone strong walks in and then start following them making sure to get a hit on everything

Go with invisibility potion slotted, wait until they make that hit, then use potion, sneak away, and laugh at them having to deal with the aggro?

someone tell me which campaign op is playing so i can kill him

Been seeing a lot of crap with double xp grind as well. Not just in pvp, but pve areas also. Going along minding your own business when someone shows up thinking they are entitled to the area. Then they pull every npc group on top of you, get their tagging in, stealth and run off leaving you to kill off the mobs. I don't mind sharing xp and any area, but dang it at least help kill your mobs and be more respectful. Needless to say, there are a few rude, entitled jerks out there that think everything revolves around them.

You lost any and all sympathy after the word "grind".
