Make PvP areas that PvE players have to pass by in order to continue doing PvE

PvP when MMOs first started was very different than the way it is now.

I remember times where you could harvest for hours in open PvP zones because PvP was just a tool and not a end in itself. PK's have been most wanted virtual criminals and any good guild had them on KoS.

There was no difference between PvE and PvP. But as in real life you dont use a gun just because you have one.

ESO sieging is the first time in years i play some PvP again as long as it is about playing the campaign. I have no need to play a selfglorifying murderer.

Damn, you just made me aware of why I don't pvp anymore, yet when I went into Cyrodiil the other day and got involved I had a ton of fun. I haven't been able to put it into words myself, I just said I wasn't interested in pvp.
But I used to be, not majorly, pve have always been more my thing, but enough that I dedicated time and resources to it and to becoming good at it. Then I took a hiatus from online gaming for a few years and when I came back I just couldn't get back into pvp. I just assumed it was me and my tastes that had changed in the interrim but now that you said this I think it was more that onsome level I realized that the pvp scene had changed, pvp had become its own end rather than the tool it used to be.

Thank you for this. And I'll still be heading into Cyrodiil after the event has ended, it's the first pvp I've enjoyed in years. Enjoyed myself so much in fact that I immediately rolled a new toon that is meant to in the long term become my dedicated pvp toon. I luckily have another that can stand in in the interrim.

Congratulations on another thread designed by PvPers to entice PvErs into PvP, only for the PvPers to remind the PvEers why they don't PvP in the first place.

Honestly, the event right now is enough to remind me and probably many others as well. Just today I got ganked while in conversation with a town quest giver - I was dead before I could even blink. Now, obviously I expected this to happen at some point and it was no big deal, but the thing is, it wasn't a single person who killed me. It was a whole group of 6 or so people. Which really makes me wonder, why would you do that? Kill a lone person who is pretty obviously a quester (meaning very likely a PvE player, considering the event) and who doesn't even fight back?

It's especially weird, since two days ago the exact opposite happened: I was approaching a quest giver when someone from a different alliance rode up next to me to talk to the same quest giver. I was a bit alarmed at first but didn't make any aggressive moves, of course. The other person didn't either. We both talked to the quest giver and then went our seperate ways. All good.

Now, granted, that person was probably another quester, but it does kind of illustrate the mentality of some PvPers that has been brought up in this thread. Which gives me the urge to want to point out again that the whole question "to PvP or not to PvP" is much less one of can or can't - it is a question of personal preference. It doesn't have anything to do with gear that I could craft if I wanted, or with my CP that I could reallocate easily, and it also doesn't have anything to do with me not wanting to learn to do it. It is simply that I don't want to do it at all in this game, period. It doesn't appeal to me and the second the game would try to force me into doing it, would be the second I left, no looking back, and judging by the other responses in here I am not alone in that. Certain people in this thread just need to accept that everyone has a different notion of what is fun for them and what isn't. Live and let live.

Calm down. People in PvP regularly get ganked and jumped. Its not supposed to be a personal attack on someone. There are players in PvP that can 1vX groups so its not rare at all that multiple people jump on a single player to ensure they go down.

I am calm. I said it wasn't a big deal and that I expected it, didn't I? What I didn't understand was, why they would attack me when it was pretty obvious that I was just a quester (you know, talking to a quest giver, and during the event right now, that makes it pretty likely, I would not be some PvP-monster able to take the whole squad down, I think). That just perfectly shows the attitude of some PvPers we've been talking about here. Jumping on someone from behind, who can't even defend herself, because she's in dialogue? That's hardly what I would call fair to begin with, even had I been prepared for a PvP fight and had it been just one person instead of 6.
