Two weeks, now: Put your new v16 pants on, turn in your saved up trophies for 2 pieces per chest to complete your agility or willpower sets.
Let's go back to Cyrodiil. Its better there.
Side Rant: IC is the biggest wasted potential for Alliance War I have ever seen. The zones are f'ing awesome, bosses are neat. Why can I not enter the dungeon on one side, fight though, then pop out deep in enemy territory on Cyrodiil map? How come I can't control districts and contribute to the Alliance War score? Why aren't there new "scrolls" to capture inside the IC, which I have to run out to my keeps? Why are there no transitus connections to zones that I capture in IC? Why do players get instant, brain-dead, respawn in the IC? Sweeper bosses are cool -- but why dont they hunt down the huge groups and ignore single players, adding to the danger of running through IC to get somewhere?

First they removed completely the commercial value of AP from the game and replaced it with TV stones and trophies which can only be gathered in IC.
Then they made v16 gear possible to craft only by farming in IC. Dungeons still drop mostly v15 gear and the RofW drop rate has been reduced so you can't rely on either of those to farm mats.
Then they made the new v16 jewelry sets automatic choice as they are the only v16 jewelry in the game. And you can only try your RNG luck by farming trophies in IC.
Then they made the districts to be like a death match where you can die and spawn there fight away and re-enter the fight. No time penalty like the horse simulator. No TV stone penalty if you went prepared to die and respawn (i.e. with no CP)
And finally they made IC access free for all, not something you have to fight for.
So, go to Cyrodiil for what? It's horribly skewed at the moment and while it stays as such, there's 0 incentive to be there, apart form like once a week for nostalgia's sake.
Why are you in IC?
Gotta get all that sweet ass gear bro to pvp!
(later) Got all your gear yet?
Yup, got everything I wanted, but I'm just focusing on getting the CP up a bit. You know, for the pvp's!
(more later) You coming to pvp yet?
Yeah... I will be tomorrow, I need to make some more gold man. I spent it all with upgrades, trophies, repairs etc
Wheeler, get your ass up here and pvp, we are a keep away from crowning Firor
Its so beautiful down here... and its.. so bright up there.. and so wide. So much space.. I don't know man. I like it down here.. YOU CAN'T MAKE ME DAMN YOU

As long as you can continue making 4K stones(50K gold), 50 crafting mats (25-30K gold), 2 CPs, and 20-30 trophies(5-150K gold) an hour while grinding (plus AP and bonus stones from open world PvP) why would you go up top and lose gold to gain AP doing PvDoor or PvZerg?

Completely agree. First, I was super disapointed when I went in the sewers through the EP side and discovered that I had been ported to the DC safe zone. And even better, if you want to go out of IC to defend a keep, your only option is to get back to home base in Cyro
As for districts contributing to the global score, that wouldn't work because it's a DLC and people who didn't buy it would be at a disadvantage. There should be a local score just for IC though, that would encourage PvP in there.
I have only a single vault key so far. Everyone turned carebear or what?

I'll come back to the alliance war when the devs give me a reason to. As things are now the rewards are too infrequent, and not good enough for me to bother, and AP is next to worthless now as well.
Screw you all. I'm farming for another week or two or three or four or five. I have so much grinding to do and it makes me happy.

So if anyone asks, I'm RPing as a guy who got lost in the sewers until such a time as I've farmed 750 rubedo leather....
Look forward to joining the Cyrodil war again
I'm grinding a broke ass magical dk so I can finally play a class everyone agrees isn't OP. I'll stop grinding and PvP when people decide some gyro fights aware worth their time. That or ill finish this grind and quit the game lol. Wonder which will occur?
