Well here we are, and now we do. And everytime there is an update, I do tend to look at the forums just out of curiousity. Invariably I see posts about removing veteran ranks, nerfing skills, and capping champion points. I have to say... WOW! All of the ways ZOS tried to make this game awesome with, it seems like people just want to vote out! And then I look further into the forums, and loe and behold.. its all PVP Guilds and guild owners organizing this. I am a strong PVE player who enjoys the lore friendly Cadwells silver and Gold, with a side of Imperial City PVE/PVP, and I just cant believe these spoiled brats are getting their way! I cant be the only core Elder Scrolls player that feels this way, can I?

Well, fact is I havent posted once until now. Im just wondering what thw draw is to pvp and why it turns people into pleading crybabies. Its worse than my 4 year old girl after we tell her no dessert.

Wut?
Also just checked your forum account, It says "Joined 2:24AM". Sooooo....
I think they meant actually play in cyrodil where other people are playing, not just on your factions buff server.
Imagine if everytime you stepped into Eastmarch or went into a dungeon or delve with your pops and started fighting mobs your FPS went to single digits and your ping rate shot up into the 1000 to 4000 range.
THAT is the current state of PVP. Fun but broken.
And to be honest, I think most of the nerf this or that threads would be gone if people could reliably get skills to go off. There are emergent ways to deal with class imbalance, zergs, etc but you can't count on them in a lag storm.

Sadly PvP has ruined many a good mmo over the years
The whining and the nerfcries never ever...ever.. stops.....o.O
I would actually pay a massive sub fee if someone could only make a decent mmo without any pvp at all

This stirs up frustration in people cos on the one hand you have this game which could be the most fun you've ever had fighting real people on the internet, but in reality it's mostly unplayable at peak times due to lag. But also on top of lag you do have imbalances between builds and broken mechanics that only present themselves in pvp, as in you'd never know they were there in pve. Much of the whining is butthurt spoilt kids wanting an easy ride, but most of it are genuine complaints and frustration at zos for breaking their game. You need to pvp to be able to distinguish between the two.
I find it odd that you openly admit to not being a pvper but still come across so perplexed. Maybe you don't share pvpers issues because, ooh I don't know; you're not a pvper? This game and it's forums are full of "us and them"; stam vs. magicka, class vs. class, console vs. pc, and pvers vs pvpers. Well done, you fit right in.

I have actually been intrigued by pvp and have built a deltia style NB just for Imperial City. The reason for the nightblade is that after reading the forums (and getting ganked by nightblades in IC itself), I realise they are probably better than my v16 master crafter (yes i can make psijic ambrosia)sorc with all abilities unlocked.

I have to give you credit @Massive_Stain. That's a good troll. As much as I want to, I'm going to refrain from commenting anything else because I know it's just a troll. But, GG.
