[Dead Horse]PvP XP

Actual PvP xp accrual is so incredibly low that it's painful. Normally this would be a non-factor however now actual character progression will be involved with the Champion System. I recorded the amount of XP I have earned in active PvP while in Cyrodiil fighting large groups and even some small scale fights. 6,372 xp for my lv26 alt during that period of time and I have around 28k xp left to gain until lv27. Granted, the xp gains might differ once a player hits certain levels or ranks however the xp gain is atrocious. I killed a vr3 player as a lv26 and was only rewarded 64xp... Just to let that sink in SIXTY FOUR EXPERIENCE POINTS! Get it that time? I'm almost certain I gain more xp from killing a mudcrab or a wolf.

Zenimax PvP Team,

Please don't cause Cyrodiil to be a wasteland. If this poor xp rate continues when the champion system arrives then why would people put themselves at a disadvantage to earn these valuable points in PvP when they can easily gain it elsewhere and at a higher reward rate? This is an MMO and people will go where the XP is plentiful and that is NOT Cyrodiil. If you're worried about kill trading then I suggest that you figure out a preemptive system to recognize that behavior and prevent it.

Please figure out what you're going to do with Cyrodiil. Thanks a bunch in advance since I can't possibly see you letting this continue into patch 1.6.

    You didn't watch ESO Live 8, right? ZOS said that they will boost exp.
    Make sweetrolls, not nerfs!

    They have said that they will boost xp/vp in Cyrodiil before. It wasn't noticeable when they said they did.

    Well, they said that in 1.6 it will be noticeable. You can just wait a little and check it. I don't think they will do anything else befor CS.

    You didn't pay attention to ESO Live 8, right? ZOS said they are increasing XP for the daily quests. They never mentioned increasing the XP for individual player kills as described by the OP.

    God I hope the increase in XP is true.

    It took me a full month to get from VR13 to VR14 in Cyrodil. That's with a couple breaks of PvE content.

    Of course not. My post was obviously a kind reminder to not screw it up when the Justice System arrives.

    Yeah, you're correct in that. I'm not sure how they can think that beating up goblins, trolls, Imperials, bandits, necromancers or other NPC is considered PvP. :D

    Think its the PvP quests, however they are a bit to random, so fun to just get locations who is owned by you faction or deep into enemy area.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    PvP should reward XP for killing players and taking objectives... Not for doing PvE in a PvP zone. :P
