If you do not want to ruin 3 other players battleground experience, get 3 pve players to do this with you.

Profit.

Use your brains folks, there is always a way to win.

uh... the shortest quest is 1k personal medals. 5 bg is only worth it if you enjoy bg, cause that will take you give or take an hour, sometimes more. 1k medals is one maybe 2 bg tops.

I said nothing about time spent, he said he hates everything pvp. This gives you the ability to get tickets with literally 0 pvp.

how is doing 5 bg - doing zero pvp???? /rereads. oh wow. I litteraly hate people like you. pvp is not my favorite, but when I do join in, I actualy make an effort to participate. people like you - ruin it for everyone who is actualy trying to play.

and... its still 1 hour or more wasted.

The scouting quest in cyrodiil involves no pvp whatsoever, and takes less than 5 mins to do...

if you read early first page - I said exactly that https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/comment/5745430/#Comment_5745430

what you replied to was response to someone recommending essentially ruining 3 other people's time by being a drain on their BG team.

The one event for tickets that’s pvp and people start losing their minds. Did you forget that every event is pve except for this one. Smh.

Aimora

I am not a fan of PvP either (although I have joined a couple of groups during this event and had a blast!) that being said it is possible to just do the PvE quests in the towns and still get the tickets- which seems fair!

I haven't had issues with town quests when I've done 'em. Tho I don't do them every day either.

Neither has I, you want to go to an fairly populated campain for this and go to an town deep inside your own area.

Loralai_907

Look, not all events are going to make every single person happy. I stress out so bad for the dungeon event myself. I haven't ran enough of them to be past that whole omg this is awful feeling. But I would never think the right thing to do would be to demand that since I don't like them that they should cater to me in any way.

I like that they have a variety of things going on that are going to 1. appeal to a wide variety of players and 2. encourage people to check out areas of the game they don't normally play. How things are set up now completely makes sense.

Knootewoot

You don't have to PvP for this event.

Go to a town, do a quest. Zero PvP.

My wife doesn't like PvP either, yet she has gotten tickets everyday by doing one pve daily quest in any town which was safest to quest.

She encountered 1 enemy player who did not attack her.

DovahkiinHeart

The saltiness...

I've been doing BGs for this whole event, each day. Won some, lost some. Had some fun, but overall it was just another grind for me.

Just two more tickets to go before I can wash my hands of this pvp as an event. It is less boring than the fetch quests for the New Life events, and that's about all I can say for it. Just business as usual lol.

I really don't understand this entitled attitude - PvP is a legitimate part of the game, so why not have a PvP based event?

I'm not a fan of PvP either, and it seemed to me I had three options.

1. Don't do the event.
2. Don't do the event, but post on the forums about how unfair it is that I'm being 'forced' out of my comfort zone. (this seems to be a popular option)
3. Suck it up and try some PvP.

I went with option three, thinking I would spend the whole event being repeatedly murdered in Battlegrounds - but I did about two minutes of homework on Google before I went in, to see if there was a more PVE-friendly way to earn tickets. As a result of this, I have been doing one town quest a day in a low population map at off peak times for the whole event...and I have yet to see an enemy player. Even when real life events have meant I've had to log in during prime time - still no enemy players.

Max tickets - no actual PvP.

vivisectvib16_ESO

Damn, so many personal attacks for what amounts to my personal opinion on something. Classy posters y'all got here, ZOS.

Pretty selfish. Some people don't PvE. So it's good to have this event. Also there are a lot more PvE events than PvP. I might as well complain I don't get to play as much as other people, so ZOS needs to cater for us gamers who don't get as much time on the game.

Tan9oSuccka

It’s really easy. Do a scout mission.

You don’t need to be Yolo Swag PVP try hard to get tickets.

grkkll

perhaps passing judgement on PVP during an event is unfair, it isn't normal game time.You can't expect an environment to be sized for a population that exists for 4 weeks out of 52. I've always been PVE but decided to build a character for the event and I've enjoyed it immennsely. OK I've been zapped a lot but that's de riguer for a noob in a harsh environment. I've really enjoyed the battlegrounds, even occasionaly been on the winning team. I'd like to see more PVP events not less

Didnt see any pvp players whining about previous events..

Danikat

Just adding another voice to those saying you could get tickets during this event by purely playing PvE in Cyordiil.

I went into the below level 50 campaign (because I'd heard it was the emptiest one) and each day I picked up either a scouting quest or, if that required going further than I felt like travelling (especially if it was too far into enemy territory) I went to the nearest town and did one of the daily quests there.

I did that on 10 different days and I got killed by another player once (when the town was under enemy control and we literally ran into each other). I think I only saw an enemy players 5 times and all the rest were far enough away that they were easy to avoid...or maybe they were PvE players just trying to get their daily done as well.

And if even that is too much like playing PvP there's always the option of getting tickets from other events. It's been possible to earn more than 10 tickets in each event so far and there's no reason to think future events will be any different.

(Or for an absolute last resort you'll be able to buy them from the crown store soon. Probably at an extortionate price, but if you really want an indrik and you're short of tickets it's probably better than nothing.)

Town quests. They are really simple, and you are in and out in 10 minutes or less.

You don't have to PvP at all. I'm a PvE person, and didn't have any problems with this event. Also, I went to a quiet, no-CP campaign in the off hours.

I thought the same as you, until I actually gave it a go and realized how painless it was. Maybe in July when they have the next Midyear Mayhem you'll consider it.

BlondyIronBlood

I hate doing PvP 'cause it gives me major anxiety, I just go to Chorrol literally every single day during this event, kill some things, then get the tickets and leave, it's super painless and causes next to no anxiety, I seriously recommend it

dem0n1k

I enjoy PVP but if I have no time to play ESO & just want to get the daily tickets fast, I do what most people have already posted... go to a town (I use Cheydinhal) & do one PVE quest & then logout leaving the character in the town so I can quickly repeat it the next day. (as long as the campaign player cap doesn't kick you out).

Mr_Walker

PvEers need to stop crying about PvP events, and vice versa. Either/or takes literally 5 minutes of your time. The incredibly, enormously valuable time that you are using (squandering) sitting on your arse engaging in a leisure activity.

Damn, be adults. Sack up and quit whining.

AcadianPaladin

@vivisectvib16_ESO I'm sorry there have been a few snarky/insulting comments to your original post, but most of the comments I see here have actually been trying to be helpful in describing easy ways to get those tix while avoiding actual PvP. And, as you can see, most posters do not begrudge our PvP brethren just this one event that is primarily about them.

@Mr_Walker I only see one post in this entire thread of 50 posts that could be construed as crying about PvP events. Almost every comment here is supportive of the event and offering constructive suggestions to the OP. It seems clear to me that most players are fine with this event as far as its nature and flexible options it provides to earn tix.

do NOT do town quests. I'm not even kidding, town quests are prime ganking grounds.

scouting missions are your best bet as pve player, if you would rather avoid any and all pvp.

I did 1-3 PVE town quests every day during this event. I didn't get ganked once, and I only had to fight an enemy player one time while doing them (it wasn't a gank attempt by either of us - we were both doing town quests, we saw each other and fought).

Of course, I also did a bunch of PVP during the event, so I did end up doing a lot more PVP than I usually do, but my experience with doing PVE town quests was almost entirely PVP-free. Hell, there were a couple of occasions when I had to ride right up into the faces of enemy players and give them a couple of light attacks before they got the hint and killed me so that I didn't have to ride a long way back to a keep.

Neoauspex

Routines, the comfortable patterns that human instinct gravitates towards, kill the $#@&+!? soul. Get out there and try some PvP.

Perfect example why we do need vote kick in BGs.

Most event tickets are tied to PvE.

Get. Over. It.

Matthros

During the event I guested into a low pop server, rode to the closest Town, did their 5 min quest, and rode out. Easy as that. Ended up with a berry and two more feathers.

I enjoy PvP so I guested back into a more populated server but for non-PvPers the Town quests were the easiest ways of getting the tickets.

hmmm... maybe gankers got it out of their system early on in the event? or just my luck that I ran into some "nice" folks.

I didn't have a good time going anywhere near towns, but scouting missions worked very well for me, on days when I didn't feel like battlegrounds, i got killed... once? on my way to a scouting location and that's mainly because I came too close to an enemy held location. was able to skirt around and avoid any further contact.

Knightpanther

PVE player here who actually loved the event.
Yes its easy to do the scouting quest and if you keep an eye on your surroundings there's no way in hell you will get ganked.
That said I got into the spirit and actually enjoyed the PvP, don't take it too seriously and just follow instructions and you will be fine.
Don't skimp on the siege weapons or you will be standing around like a lemon whilst everyone else does the work and chucking burning arrows at a group of players is way to much fun to pass up.

Be safe
