I'd assume they are not working there to reduce lag and prevent confusion. But since you don't get any loot drops in pvp, I don't see why you need them there. Just take enough buff food and potions with you before you start to fight and you'll be fine without banker / merchant.

As i know nothing i can only assume. Probably has something to do with loading up allies or yourself while being seiged etc, just like how u can't grab some mailed items?

I guess we'll just have to wait a few more years for the legendary tailgate parties.

They act like pets (not the sorc ones). They actually take the spot of your pet while summoned. There's no pets in cyrodiil, so assistants won't work their either.

I would think it would be due to Tel Var Stones. There's a port stone that sells for 10,000 AP that would be completely useless if you could summon a banker assistant and easily deposit Tel Var stones. You wouldn't even have to return to your home base in the sewer if that were possible.

As far as a Merchant, that would be handy as you could easily repair anywhere in the city since the NPC's do some pretty mean damage. That could be the reason though but I fail to see how that would differ from having and using repair kits.

it was not allways like this,
infact, early eso we could have our pets with us at all times in cryodiil.
i remember people allways saying in zone chat:

"PUT YOUR PETS AWAY IF YOUR STEALTHED NEAR US!"

then the devs coded it into eso so that you could not even have a pet at all in cryodiil. so, yes, your correct its being treated as a pet.

these things should be allowed in cryodiil and not only these things but also hirelings and followers and also "pets"
should, be, allowed.

Do you understand specifically why pets and such are not longer allowed in Cyrodil?

Didn't you hear The Bankers were the cause of the great Morrowind crash, cut their bonuses the fat khajjit.

Actually, there are plenty of mobs that drop loot in IC & the sewers. Up top in Cyrodiil there are mobs that drop loot in the dungeons and overland, you just have to look for them. I can see PvPing in Cyrodiil and rarely if ever getting loot from a NPC, however in IC & sewers, NPCs are going to find you sooner or later.

they will replace the pet slot and as we all know non combat pets are not allowed in cyrodiil it would basically make the devs rewrite the code in order to make this happen and that would take too much time and resources to maybe make it work without breaking something else.

The lack of guild traders in Cyrodiil is the real issue....

Why are there no guild traders in the 5 quest hub cities in cyrodiil?
Why are there no guild traders at the main 2 bases for each faction?
Why are there no guild traders in the main base in the sewers for each faction?

AlnilamE · February 2016

Yeah, if they at least worked in Cyrodiil Delves, that would make them so much more useful!

Theres lots of guild traders in Cyrodiil. It's easy to forget about friendly keeps being claimed and accessing their store, since the majority of claimed keeps have a barren store.

Thank goodness you can't!
Would spoil my PvP 'mursion

I check the traders at the keeps. The big PvP Guilds all have stores and if they own a keep their store becomes public. I've even gone around claimed resources and found some awesome deals because people were putting stuff up at 'guildie prices' not realizing that the store would be public if someone claims a resource.

Unfortunately not. It was the first place I tried them at.

I think the reason is that you cannot use them to distract the enemy - summoning them would have an effect like an illusion spell which creates fake images of oneself - it is another optic, but the effect of distraction would still be given.
