I don't intend to PvP, but I will have to go to Cyrodiil eventually to fish. I've already looked up the best places and times to go (or rather, what to try to avoid), but I am also wondering if there's anything I can do to make myself boring or just not worth the detour to come interrupt my fishing.

    I've never seen anyone go out of there way to harass a single fishermen . I wouldn't stress . If you over plan and have too many people there and drop a camp then people might investigate that far off from objectives .

    If you're alone and I'm in the mood, I'll take on anyone, even an emp. Especially an emp.

    When you're in cyrodiil, it's best to be able to rely on yourself. I'm confident that I can beat any single opponent that would ever come my way. If you don't have that, the next thing you'd want is to be able to escape any opponent who comes your way. If not that, survive any opponent. If none of the above, avoid any opponent. I'm going to guess you don't fit into the first category. In the second category you can find a clever NB that can avoid getting revealed, or a speedy stam sorc that can outrun non-mounted players. If you can't do that, try a super tanky healer that can live longer than the average attention span. If none of those work, use and abuse invisibility/speed pots as necessary as a vamp (or using that one set to ignore sneak speed penalty).

    The generally amicable yet sporadically salty magplar that may or may not have 1vXed you in Sotha Sil. Who knows?

    I guess I'll just make a rule for myself that I'm done fishing for the night if someone attacks me. I'll just stand there and let it get over with as quickly as possible and then try again another time. I'm not interested in fighting or trying to outrun or outhide anyone.

    If you time it right, you can fish while in stealth (or at least you could back when I was doing it) - it just takes some practice with the timing. To start, crouch, and get the cast out before the eye closes. It will close and stay closed while the line is in the water. You pop out of stealth just for a second each time you reel in. You need to re-cast before the eye closes again, or you'll have to fish exposed until you re-do it on your next cast. Helps while fishing in IC, too.

    wear tank gear. A fully unkillable tank that does no damage will bore most people within a minute. Of course there is always the chance they will call a zerg just to kill you...but its unlikely, most likely they will just continue on with whatever they were doing before they saw you.
