What a ridiculous thing to say. You write that as if these players can't be defeated. Of course they can.There ISNT a chance to git gud, you can’t “just change gear” or “adapt” or “expect to fight” when you die in the time it takes to load into an area because griefers are setting up seige and unavoidable ground AoEs and CC in front of doors
The problem is that you guys aren't even really trying. You don't want to try because you don't like PVP and are just there for loot boxes that you want to grind as fast as possible with completely unprepared characters.
In addition to preparing your individual character, you also have the option of working with other players to defeat the players causing you issues and overcoming the challenge they have given you.
But hey, we're talking about people drawn to the worst quests in the game in an area they don't enjoy being in because they're addicted to scratch cards.

Of course ZOS ultimately owns all of the problems associated with this event. Still, the players who choose to go to Cyrodiil to complete them must own their decision to do so. If they want the prizes, they must overcome the challenges involved.ZOS designed these dull town quests to be the undesputed best ways to acquire event rewards, that’s on ZOS for making the board rewards slow and tedious even more so than fetch quests.This has been something players in Cyrodiil have had to learn to deal with from the start. It is a poor design to be sure, but it is not close to impossible to overcome a setup like this.And you’re a damn liar to say anyone can simply adjust their build to survive being seiged down in a load screen. Exploiting the vulnerability of players incapable, not “unwilling” not “unprepared”, literally not able to fight back because they are still stuck in a load screen. People can enter all at once and they have meat bags and ults drop on their heads. The only way to clear anyone out is to send in half a dozen full tanks and hope they can outlive the damage long enough for the first AoEs to disappate so another half dozen can slip in and try to duke it out with seige still going off
Regardless of the ethics and sportsmanship involved, these players are not not exploiting or breaking any rules. They have chosen to fortify and defend this area which they are 100% entitled to do. When this happens, players who wish to complete those quests must either defeat or somehow negotiate with them to do so. That is perfectly legitimate town gameplay.
The main benefit they have is that they are organized and are executing an effective plan. To overcome it consistently, an equally organized group with a plan is probably required. The game provides the tools to overcome a door camp. I've successfully been on both sides of such farms.
I'm highly critical of players who seek out easy wins and good groups that routinely pug stomp in any context, but it's not griefing or exploiting because all players are fair game regardless. Further, I may not like noob hunting in general, but I am glad that players are having to earn their loot boxes in Cyrodiil. So kudos to those providing them with that challenge.
This is really no different than the position I was in last week. I hate almost all PVE content because I find it to be critically boring, so I skipped all event activities during world boss/delve week. I suggest players who have a bad time in Cyrodiil do the same this week.
That was your decision last week to not participate. These players have decided to give it a go and are being prevented from participating by trolls.
No they're not. There are bounty quests you can grab to Kill X Players of Class Y that reward you all the same. Campers are blocking the badly designed PvE slap-on quests found in Cyrodiil, not those. Questers have every capability of grabbing the other quests that actually involve PvP, but they don't want to do it that way.
It's their choice to limit themselves to only doing the badly designed PvE quests contained in a PvP zone for the PvP event this week.
The loading screen chokepoints are absolutely terrible design, but that's the only problem here; not that players are killing others while they quest in a PvP zone.
You are missing my point. We need more people in PvP. Events like this can be a way to get new players to PvP. Trying to finish quests for achievements is what got me into PvP. A small group of us got together and died a lot but at least we had a chance to fight. Even took a few players down with us from time to time.
Dying before you get through the door isn't going to entice anybody into giving PvP a go after the event. Wouldn't be so bad if they did their ganking outside where at least there is a slight chance to fight back. Maybe they should do to Burma Chapel and other buildings like they did the towers. Just remove the doors. At least then you could fight instead of dying while loading in.

I didn't miss your point, per se. I wasn't arguing for or against your point that it's not a good way to attract much-needed new PvPers (though I do agree with you on that). I was only refuting the statement that I quoted out of your post. The questers are, in fact, not being prevented from participating in the event. Hindered? Absolutely. But certainly not prevented. They have very reasonable options to still participate. Them not liking those options should be placed squarely on their own shoulders.
Maybe I'm nitpicking a bit too much on that statement, but I just feel it's a very important distinction to make.
I'm waiting for dungeon week were my 35k dps char gets kicked out of every dungeon for his pvp rank.
I will be here blowing up the forums about how pvers are such mean jerks. Repeatedly.
Even if you get kicked you’re still not even remotely locked out of participating in the event, because you can enter pledge dungeons solo and be entirely left alone, and get rewards the same as everyone else.
No one is going to be allowed to prohibit you from getting a pledge done. No one is going to be sitting at the boss waiting for you to show up then nuke you every time you try to kill it. You’ll never have to change instances to get away from a griefer because you get access to instances that are completely private to you.
Even if every. single. person. kicked you from the dungeon on sight, you still wouldn’t be stopped from getting rewards.
Norma trials? No one cares who you are as long as the bosses are dying
There’s no valid comparison to be made

Lowkey though, using AOE or siege to camp people zoning through a door is pretty cheesy IMO.
Dear ESO players,
Stop spazzing out over idiotic loot boxes that motivate you to do things you dislike like go to Cyrodiil when you don't enjoy and/or aren't prepared for PVP.
I find the whole spectacle to be disgusting. It's very sad to me that gaming has been reduced to this. This game has produced an army of scratch card addicts.

Thank you, I mean I tried to come up with a comparison, I'm usually pretty good at that, and I completely failed.
By the way...CAN you change instances? Is that possible to do without just happening to luck into having a friend who loaded into another instance?
inb4lock for baiting and not being constructive:
1.Attitude like this will surely make your empty campaigns throughout the years get filled with more players.
2.Most players that have entered event do not have money or mats to create PvP sets. Simply due to the fact of a lot of new players coming into the ESO, it is very nice way of showing them what community is like and giving them a hint whether to stay or quit for good.
3.Even if they have PvP set 10-20 PvP'ers dropping 10 Shooting stars on players that just enter Bruma Chapel or started talkin to NPC's in CHEYDINHAL for example which is not even objective in PvP last time I checked is just being plain idiotism and disregard for other players that have obviously just came to get their event done.
4. Sure all of us know it is PvP zone, but it doesn't hurt to act like proper human being and letting us enjoy event at least in the towns that are not PvP objectives.
5. There are no mistakes happening when whole groups chase poor lad that doesn't even fight back.
6. People going just for PvE players that do event in non-capturable towns are just going for easy kills to tickle their own ego.
7. If your arguments is "it is PvP zone, stop QQ" than go do some real PvP against people that fight back, not attacking players that just stand near daily NPC's, it is not Player versus Player, I would compare it to PvDoor or attackin a target dummy.
8. Hate? What hate... I just wonder what happened to the awesome community who had silent mutual non-agression pact in the past to let people do their event... It is just feeling of disappointment.
9. Going by your logic, you would even attack players that go for Master Angler achievement just cause it is PvP zone, glad I did that a while ago when players were still more understanding and kind.
10. At first days people said do not fight back, block and stay still they will surely see you are for PvE only and now you say: "Why don't you even fight back?!" or "Make a set and google decent build". Quite a fast change of mind eh? <smirk>
11. You folks say we kick you for not having gear etc etc. TBH never seen it happen in the past 2-3 years of me playing through dungeons and trials, I personally even take the time to explain mechanics if somebody is not knowing how to do this and that. Of course obvious trolls are exception (jumping around platforms in the AA instead of standing on it for 5 minutes straight for example). I guess it is a matter of joining proper guild/finding proper friends? Not really a hard thing 'cause almost everyday in major cities I see people recruiting PvE newbies for their guilds.
Awaiting:
You guys can not compare apples to oranges here.
Sure SOME pvpers aren’t prepared for pve, don’t have proper gear( let’s not forget you have to pve to get the pve gear in the first place, only exception is crafted sets) but they still TRY. That 10k dps guy in heavy you all keep mentioning(I’ve literally never seen this but you guys bring it up a lot) is at least still TRYING to beat the dungeon.
The anti pvp pve’ers don’t even attempt to try.
You could literally throw on shacklebreaker with impen and any other crafted or pvp set. Pvp sets are super easy to get usually and you get a lot of them from pve which you already do.
You can’t win if you don’t fight. Or is it just an excuse you WONT fight because then you have an excuse for losing?
You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.
"Hur dur the purpose of cyrodiil is pvp" is a complete and utter nonsense argument for justifying what people are doing. There is no shortage of actual pvpers to play against, the fact that you are ignoring those people and are instead coming to the towns and attacking people trying to do the quests proves you are not interested in actual pvp, what you are interested in is making other people miserable because you are mommy's little sociopath and that is how you get your jollies.
You guys re the ones that are ridiculous. This event is not pvp exclusive. One of 5 weeks is in PvP. No one is excluded. You are free to participate or skip anything you want. If you go into Cyrodiil you should be prepared to pvp , if you go into a 4 man dungeon you should be prepared to fulfil your role. It is really that simple. The motifs and style pages can be traded and sold in guild stores and the tickets all you have to do is eat cake..
You’re the reason I enjoy farming you questers 🙂. So much tears so much crying... so much AP to be made
