I voted yes because PvE in this game is boring.

If it were up to me I would have made the main story line TOTALLY separate from the 3-way war that is going on and would've made the whole world available to everyone prior to completing the story.

From my point of view we should have a "neutral" faction as in when you start the game everyone is neutral and as the game progresses you can choose to take part in the war by joining a faction (like in Skyrim ,I liked that idea) and once you join a faction you unblock quests related to the war and get attacked by guards if you go in an enemy controlled zone. Also allowing PKing for players while giving the option for players to put on a Bounty on other players head for murders would be awesome.This way "neutral" players could become bandits that rage all across Tamriel.

This may be a bit off topic but this is my view on the game in general so I'll add it here anyways : Stealing gold and crafted items from other players should be implemented in the crime system if it is in the inventory and NOT if equipped. I understand that it wouldn't be a good idea to be able to steal rare loot.

BTW I am not a PK but I would like to face off against one without having war as a reason :P .

Anyways this is my opinion and you can agree or disagree I don't mind and I don't think it will be taken into serious consideration since it would mean changing the game in almost it's entirety. Oh and I also like the 3-way war that is going on that should be kept in my view of the game.

I would like to be able to choose, or to have people have the option to choose (since I probably wouldn't be doing it a whole lot) to do world PvP, but I'm not sure that separating realms is the right way to go about it. I'm not a huge fan of dividing the community like that, since I really like the whole idea of a mega realm.

Personally, I would prefer some sort of toggle if you want to give people the option to world PvP. That way everyone who wants to participate can just flag themselves for PvP but all players would still be on the same realm.

Thanks Kinsaven. The idea is similar in principle, it would give you the choice at logon - you could join any of the two "channels" - so to speak - with the same character at any time. Your character would not be bound to the channel you chose at first.

No, because the Justice System will be introducing optional world PvP and I personally think that's about as good as it gets. No splitting up the player base in instances required.

Every 'poll' has 2/3 of the people responding to it saying it isn't wanted. And it's the same 1/3 people here going on and on about it, thread after thread, as if it's going to happen.

Strange, because when I started I was not interested in PvP at all, but perhaps I'm an exception, I now belong to the 1/3rd + 1 of the population (which by the way is a lot).
Cyrodil looks great , but I always wonder how it would be if I could be screwed up anywhere in the world.

Well players are being split in instances anyway, be it dungeons, cyrodill, quest line phasing etc.
You could choose where to play anyway - each time at logon. I don't think players could be split more than now in fact I think they would be more satisfied and perhaps more friendly.
Do you really think those who fight each other in these forums on the opposite sides of 'World PvP barricade' would miss each other in game? I don't think so.

I don't think it's boring, but I would love to see something different.

Yes but two thirds of players against open world PVP are much much bigger in numbers. I am against this primarily because of what happened in EVE Online, with Goonswarm essentially taking over as the vocal minority and pushing out the majority of PVE players, forcing anyone there into PVP regardless. This must not happen in ESO, and I am glad that Zeni is listening to the Majority not the minority.

Options are nice and all, but I don't want them putting resources into optional world PvP when they could be doing something else.

Cyrodil is already massive and depending on the shard/campaign, can range from minimally active to slightly popping. (though wabbajack and Auriel's bow seem to reach full capacity ant random times). From the sieges to the skirmishes, I can't help but wonder why PvPers are not content sometimes.

I don't think all PvPers are griefers or anything but I simply don't quite understand why the pressure of constant possible ambush/danger are so appealing to PvPers that they have to have it in more than the place already provided.

I certainly don't want it pushing back other features, but it does one day come out, I suppose i'll be fine so long as it is optional. I may one day complain about the Cyrodil population though.

I would support a dueling mechanic in PvE however

That's just Guild-based tuition for those who aren't very good at PvP, or the attempted griefing of innocent lowbies by players who should know better !

PvP zones are the best place for PvP, unless you have a separate PvP server - and the evidence from other PvE-centric games (which this one is, contrary to what some PvPers dream) is that those are the least popular servers. World PvP is for FFA PvP games, which TESO is not, never was intended to be, and never will be. Dream on, world PvPers!
