What a waste of time!

My alliance just took just took the Elder Scroll of Alma Ruma! Even "better" I had the quest! You'd think you'd be rewarded generously for accomplishing such a daunting task right? Wrong! 750 ap and 330 gold. That's it? WTF? Sure it provides bonuses for the alliance, but come on! Don't even bother having the quest if it gives such a pathetic reward. It should be 7500 ap and 3300 gold!

Guess what you get for carrying a scroll for half hour across the map....NOTHING!

Now you see why Curodil is so vacant ...even when it's crowded and why PvP folks want arenas instead of Cyrodil and IC.

Time spent doing something you enjoy is never wasted

I assume ofc. you enjoy it....why else do it at all?

Would it be wrong if they reduced the size of the map of cyrodiil? Reduce the map by 20%-30%.

Players are tired of playing "horse simulator 2.0" and would rather get to the action faster.

Obviously there would be balance and respawn rate would be reduced to prevent zergs to spam areas to attack / defend. The districts already provide non stop action for certain factions in certain districts.

I've always thought this would make things better.

I'd be open to view pros and cons for a discussion, maybe a new thread entirely.

Could it work?

Size of Cyrodiil really isn't what this thread is about at all, in fact the guy was complaining more so about rewards for doing things, so I don't see how the two are relevant to eachother here. (I apologize if anything I say tonight sounds extra salty, I'm just tired but can't go to sleep, so I'm here lol). But yeah I do agree that it would be nice if some of the rewards would be better, I don't even bother picking up any of the Cyrodiil quests for this reason.

My main beef with IC which is still preventing me from buying it, is the loot drop upon death. There is just too many ppl using cheat engine and macros at this point so no way im going to waste my time farming loot then loose it to some random jack off. Until the game is balanced properly and they can block out third party programs, which is never, loot drop upon death will not become a viable playstyle for me.

Yeah the get scrolls quests should be like 5k ap each with a limit to 2 a day or something.

The player carrying the scroll should get like 5k/10k ap for doing it, it takes time and is a pain and an overall ap loss

The only "loot" you drop is 1/2 your telvar stones. They are stupid easy to come by.....

Honestly I have over 75k tel var stones in the bank without even trying, and after buying some of the different armor sets to try it out. There isn't really anything to spend them on except for the occasional repora. Well there are the armor boxes that can drop the polymorphs but I'm not one to buy loot boxes. My point being you can collect and lose but you will come out ahead. Just buy a few sigils of retreat so if you get a good haul of stones you can port back to base.

I love how the thread started off as a "Scroll Quest rewards are crap" to a thread on IC and Cyrodiil size.

Honestly, considering the amount of time and effort a scroll run requires and the overall usefulness of Scrolls, one would think that the quest involving their capture would offer a much better reward than any of the mission board quests. Killing X class offers much more XP, AP and gold than a scroll run which is just stupid considering that killing players is easy to do by comparison to Scroll Capture.

Scroll capture quests should reward you with a random lock box from the PvP vendors on top of a much more substantial amount of AP/XP/Gold.

You don't need to do anything though to complete the quest. You could spend the whole time they are bringing it back redguarding in your base.

I agree.

If I go into Cyrodiil to adventure, I'm doing it for the adventure. That keeps it very fun for me.

Of course, I'm broke and none of my characters has their horses maxed out and I have few folks who know most traits.

And that's okay, because I'm having fun.
