Why isn't 10% more AP included as a booster?

LonePirate · January 2015

If ESO Plus subscribers are going to receive boosters like +10% XP, why isn't there a +10% AP booster for those of us who spend our game time in Cyrodiil? Is this yet another instance of ZOS completely ignoring its PVP community?

Don't worry. That'll be an option in the cash shop as a temporary booster. That way you buy more AP.

Then they'll add "lockboxes" that contain set amounts of AP.

Just wait...

Probably. However, I suspect it has to do with the potential abuse of farming AP. I guess, but I feel we'll get this answer when we get an answer to the mount reward they let slip.

Because they don't care about PvP players. DUH.

Because people would consider that pay to win. The XP booster will be cried out as that to some degree already but you can't really buy gear or implements with it the way you can with AP.

because cyrodiil will be closed due to server issues with the f2p hordes :P

Hmm, good question. As a non-PvP player it doesn't directly affect me, but wouldn't it be fair if they're providing bonuses to XP, inspiration, and gold to also provide a bonus to AP?

Nope, I'd wager it's 100% because if they DID add AP gain to ESO Plus then people would scream "Pay Wall" feeling forced to sub monthly in order to keep up with AP gains. That's also likely why they didn't add +10% Mounted speed (like Rift does for it's Patrons), because of PvP.

Ah, good point. You'd pretty much have to pay to subscribe if you ever hoped to show up on the leaderboards, wouldn't you?
