Thank you ZOS for not forcing PVP down our throat!

I enjoy Cyrdiil and IC (when there are people there) a lot and am warlord rank on my main.

However I dont want PVP in my PVE, nor PVE in my PVP.
When I am questing, I want to be left alone to enjoy that.
When I am PVPing, I dont want some boss spawning somewhere in the way that we have to kill.

If ZoS had had forced PVP everywhere, this game would be dead, period because 80% of the playerbase would have quit the minute it was implemented.

Forced PVP MMO games dont survive.
Sooner or later most, if not all of them die because people dont want to be ganked and greifed trying to get crafting or a few quests done. Look at how many MMOS opened PVP servers then closed them a few months later because the were a barren wasteland with no one there.

Some one posted that it is fine for PVPers to be forced to do PVE but not fine for PVEers to be forced to do PVP and that wasn't fair. The difference is that when a PVPer comes to PVE, they do not have to look over their shoulder every second to to avoid being ambushed while trying to get something accomplished. PVPers in this instance may be bored but they are not losing out on anything. On the other hand when a PVEer is forced to do PVP, which they in many cases either are not interested in doing, or are ill prepared to do, they become frustrated and irritated. They then trash talk PVP in this forum and decline to participate in any further PVP events. That is why PVP zones are pretty dormant outside of Mid Year Mayham.

ESO is a game with components of both PVE and PVP. It attracts adherents to each type, as well as those who like doing both. Instead of trying to find one size that will fit all how and that size is either PVE or PVP, how about accepting that both play styles are legitimate and it is OK to like one over the other but not OK to try and eliminate the one you do not like?

There’s a reason not many watch ESO on twitch lol
PVE isn’t entertaining for the average person, they want to see action which is what PVP is.

PVP will bring popularity and competitiveness to a game that PVE could never do

Remember when people were brought over from Dark Age of Camelot to Zenimax Online Studios to make Elder Scrolls Online with the endgame focus being the Three Banners War? A culmination of the stories of your faction that lead you to participating in the struggle for Cyrodiil and capture the Ruby Throne.

That sounds beautiful

So sad it didn’t go that way

Actually i'm so glad it didnt go that way- cause there been soo many MMOs with three factions war that failed horrible. It still are enough of em left so if one choose to focus on PvP, a PvP MMO is easily found. ESO luckily focussed on its lore and story (PvE parts mostly) which makes it an interesting game.

In its current state with everything they are saying it will do, Ashes is 4+ years away, my guess is it will never hit release.
Its all hype just like EQNext was and they were unable to pull it off.

Be Safe

Are you overlooking ZOS forcing everyone who wants Rapids to have to grind out 5 AVA ranks in PVP, for each character?
