Just my opinion.

FG1 takes 5 min solo. IA arc 1 takes 15 min. If you really want the rewards it’s not much effort.

I will do it, I am just suggesting a way to improve the system. I already spend a lot of time in PvE for other things.
By the way one arc of IA takes me way more than 15 minutes. More like an hour.

An HOUR for arc 1? What are you playing as your dps, a healer?

The current Golden Pursuit seems to be geared towards "super fans" getting the costume. I do think it will be a stretch for a great many players to even get the statue.
Ideally, every time they introduce a golden pursuit all game types would be covered.
But since they don’t seem to want to do that, let PvEers have this one. As you noted, the last two were both all about PvP.

That's 16 Golden Pursuits which can be completed without leaving Cyrodiil, if Cyrodiil is where you prefer to spend nearly all of your in-game time. The fact that they don't specifically involve PvP and can just as easily be completed outside of Cyrodiil doesn't negate the fact that you can complete them in Cyrodiil if you wish.
You'll still need to leave Cyrodiil to claim your event tickets, since the cake memento won't work in Cyrodiil (at least, I don't think it will; I haven't actually tried it). And while you can complete enough Golden Pursuits to earn the statue, you'll need to do at least 4 more Golden Pursuits outside of Cyrodiil to earn the costume.
Basically, what I'm trying to point out is that the majority of these Golden Pursuits are (in my opinion) accessible or "friendly" to players who prefer to spend most of their time in Cyrodiil, which seems a lot better than if most of them could not be completed in Cyrodiil and forced players to spend a lot of their time outside of Cyrodiil.
The point is that none of them require PVP. If you are the kind of player who needs forced victims, this is significant.
Why not make additional tasks for other/all playstile or reduce the number of tasks to get unique item reward so all playstiles can get them and do not have to change playstile.
When thinking about Golden Pursuits, we do try to pair them with activities happening or have general themes. This time, with Anniversary Jubilee happening, it was a good time to focus on PvE events. Not to mention we just had two PvP pursuits in a row.
While the next few Golden Pursuits are mostly locked in at this point, we can pass feedback along about having some PvP and PvE tasks in one Golden Pursuit can be considered in the future.

I have mediocre to sub-mediocre DPS on my main characters, and am planning to skip the Golden Pursuits involving Trials, Arenas, Infinite Archive, and Tales of Tribute. With about two weeks still remaining in this event, I've already collected the statue and am close to collecting the costume. I'm thinking most players should be able to get the final reward by the end of this Golden Pursuits campaign, unless they start playing ESO somewhere mid-campaign and can't complete all of the pursuits that involve collecting daily login rewards abd earning event tickets. And even so, we can skip up to 8 pursuits and still get the final reward, so players who join mid-campaign might still be able to get the final reward, or at least the statue.

Actually, both are genuine and both are satirical references to previous genuine comments.katanagirl1 wrote: »It’s just I will have to do group dungeons, arena, trials and/or IA to finish out the 20 items and those are fairly time consuming so it cuts into actual PvP.
They are time consuming for non-PVP people, too. Especially if the player is dependent on one of the group finders because they don't have local guilds or in-game friends that they can call on to do all of that group content.
I don't know if there just aren't enough players using the dungeon finder, or not enough server resources to satisfy all of the people attempting to do dungeons through the dungeon finder, but I really feel sorry for anyone who can't solo Fungal Grotto I ten times. They are going to spend hours staring at "Queued"..

As long as there's enough total pursuits to ensure that non-PvP folks such as myself can still get all the rewards. Like 35 things to choose from but you only need 20 for the top prize. I think the first or second one was balanced like that and it worked well so I could have fun with the PvE ones without setting foot in Cyrodiil.

The balance is one of the harder parts of a Golden Pursuit. We don't want this to feel like a burden to complete, so your feedback is noted. Just for a look behind the curtain, we are still learning and adjusting how we develop Golden Pursuits based on your feedback. The system has only been around for 6 months, so there is plenty to try and still learn from. So we are taking feedback and working with teams to make sure these are fun and rewarding. Every Golden Pursuit won't appeal to every player, but we want to make sure the content is fun and complementary to gameplay.
All that to say, keep up the feedback. It's helped in shaping Golden Pursuits into a more refined aspect of your experience in ESO.

@ZOS_Kevin Just as feedback for the team - I think that people often feel that there is a push towards content they don't want to do when there are tasks which take multiple days to achieve like 'collect x tickets' or 'collect x daily rewards'. This makes them feel like they 'have' to do the other tasks because they want the reward faster. Potentially just adding tiers which take less time to achieve, like for example have a 1, 2, 4 and 10 day task for the daily rewards / ticket collection as 'additional' tasks on top of the others would allow people to feel less like they need to do the ones they 'don't want to do'.
Also on the PVE vs PVP topic. I think in gaming these days people need to really understand the fact that rewards are optional content. If you want an item you need to do something to get it as part of the gameplay loop. This includes things that you potentially don't want to do or enjoy doing. What it comes down to is the 'effort' involved. For example a PVPer might not 'want' to do a trial but killing 1 trial boss is more achievable then doing an entire trial. As long as there is a mix of tasks where you don't 'have' to complete all of them I think its generally fine.
Also imo don't be dissuaded from doing targeted rewards like during the pvp test. This was very clearly a 'push' towards the content you wanted people to do for the test. Perhaps if the reward's were also said to be obtainable at a later date too then this would stop the FOMO from players who really objected to it. As in 'You can get this now, but they will be coming back at a later date for those who missed out'.
I'm a numbers guy, show me the numbers. People I talk to would have me believe that tens of thousands of people play the pve side of ESO every day. Some would even have me believe that hundreds of thousands of people play the pve side of eso every day. How many hundreds of thousands of people play in cyrodiil every day? It is my personal opinion that there is a massively more amount of people that play the pve than the pvp. In the many years that I have played this game, seems like the devs cater to the minority. And on the other side of the coin....
I would say that yes, in fairness for sure, there need to be a way for people that ONLY like to play in cyrodiil to FULLY participate in the Golden and not have to leave Cyrodiil and play the game in a way that they do not like. I play both sides of the house and I have met people in Cyrodiil that just have zero interest in the pve aspect of the game.
It is my personal opinion that Zenimax gathers it's ideas and decisions from it's chosen fan-groupies. The method that zeni uses to interface with it's player base is biased. Communicating with Zenimax feels more like talking to the mafia than talking to a friend.
