I want to know why they much think they need to force more PVP onto players in this game. Come up with a new system that taken the transmutes crystals. and the only quickest way to get them is in PVP.. Do they not have the players to do the PVP.. Or they just want to push other players into it so that the others have someone to kill and kept them happy.

    After the twitch stream announcements today for the upcoming update 28 in November, there are a lot of changes coming to transmutes which might alleviate all of your woes. Let's see what they have in store for us.

    So basically, Zenimax should develop a completely impossible system concept that caters to each and every single player's personal preference, want, and need because they don't like something? OK then.

    🙄

    i despise pvp in all forms, but even i can deal with suffering for about 30 minutes in cyrodiil with my 2 healers to get 25k AP.
    i get wrecked constantly and i do not care one bit.
    i spam heals and capture something.
    its literally a non issue doing this every month.

    if the new pve ways are more rewarding and more efficient, i will never go to cyrodiil ever again, and i would prefer that.

    (at least cyro will run better with no pve carebears in there)

    The title says Zos is forcing PvP onto players, meaning there is no way to avoid it yet the OP quoted here does not speak to how we are being forced into PvP for crystals, but merely that PvP is the more efficient way to get crystals.

    I never understood why people play an MMO if they don't want to PvP. Why play a game with thousands of other players logged on at the same time if you don't want to fight them and only fight computer generated pixels.

    I get anywhere from 3-8 crystals per BG. I get 1-2 from PvE.

    Not sure if that is what OP is talking about, or something else.

    pvp is never forced on anyone. in fact its the lower end of population of the game and pvpers get neglected in terms of balancing and performance. if you want transmutes there are tons of things you can do like dailies and such. plus if you want 50 free transmutes then its super easy to get tier 3 rewards in a single day and not touch pvp til the next month, per character might i add. so idk why youre worried or complaining about pvp. youre not forced to pvp by any means.
    RIP skill based PvP days. . .

    If you run pledges everyday, you get the same amount as one day's rewards for the worthy, right? And the 50 crystal geode is soooo easy to get from end of campaing rewards that it's crazy. Just lfg or fix some walls. Or... start playing pvp, it's great. We want you. Uncle uummh Sheo wants you.

    So true. wish some people would understand that everyone is "forced" todo something they don't want to do. which is more true to the pvp crowd as mostly everything they need for pvp comes from pve

    Because the main part of ESO is PvE mit story and dungeons. Thats the main selling point and thats what the game is designed around. PvP is just an extra on top.

    MMOs are for the most part about a community and RPG elements. That does not explicitely include or exclude PvP. In most cases PvP is just an extra, if it even exists in the first place. In the end its a matter of taste and personality.

    I don't feel forced to PvP at all. For PvE, rapids is not necessary but for stam players, vigor can be handy - simply doing the Cyrodiil tutorial basically now gets you there. When I want transmute crystal I solo the simpler alliance zone pledges on normal. No problem. Though I'm a solo PvE player, I have no problem with the game having group content and PvP as well. There is plenty for all and I'm not forced into anything to still very much enjoy the game.

    Note: I'm not endorsing or complaining about the move to swap rapids and vigor but simply making a point. I don't really care where either skill fits in the tree.

    Go do vma. It gives you 4 crystals per run. Do trials and get 5 per run. Or do random daily dungeons and get 1 x whatever amount of characters you have.

    Just find 11 people that dont want to PvP either, go into nCR+3 and nAS+2 on 5 chars peer week, clear them in 2/3 minutes there you go 50 transmutes a week in less than 30 minutes.
    Politeness is respecting others.
    Courage is doing what is fair.
    Modesty is speaking of oneself without vanity.
    Self control is keeping calm even when anger rises.
    Sincerity is expressing oneself without concealing ones thoughts.
    Honor is keeping ones word.

    You don't have to PvP at all. Just work on your pledges and on completing the gear sets you are trying to work on and you will have enough stones (at the lowest cost, an item will cost 25 transmute stones to craft).

    Also, unless you plan on just deconning everything including what you are wearing, you probably won't need to do anything for a while.

    This system is mainly to get those "I want to try this some day" sets out of our inventory.
