Lowbies and CP People in Cyrodiil - Give Lowbies a Break

WuffyCerulei · August 2016

Even though there is a Cyrodiil campaign dedicated to low level people, you will still run into them in CP campaigns. Even though you can't tell how much cp they have, you can tell how new they are to the game by armor, mount, or the way they fight. I run into them on occasion when running in Trueflame or Haderus, and I can quickly tell if they new people or just alts. I don't usually engage unless they attack first, then I wreck them if I can (scaling can be a *** at times). However, if they don't fight and just want to grind, quest, or explore, I either help them or go on my merry way. I don't see many other high cp people doing the same, which is a shame. We have a major advantage vs new players, and it hurts to see a poor lvl 15 newbie be wrecked.
With this, I ask any other CP players to do a few things with little babies running around in Cyrodiil:
- Tell them to go to Blackwater Blade, where it's safest for them.
- Leave them alone if they're trying to flee.
- Don't be a jerk to them by harrassing them. They're just babies compared to a capped player.

If a lowbie is running in a zerg, they're fair game. If they try to attack me, they're fair game. If they have attacked me before and I'm alone and they're with several others...my memory is long and they're fair game. If they're just trotting by on their horse I generally don't attack from stealth.

I agree with this. If they're looking for trouble like this, then by all means, fight back.

Also after being zerged down, and they didn't even look in my direction, let alone contribute, and they teabag me, I will remember. When they have saved up that 50k AP to buy that Morag Tong prosperus shoulder, I will be there.

I whisper low level players who are obviously lost and very politely suggest they might enjoy BWB better.

And how is this received ?

Sandman929 · August 2016

It seems like every time I give some lone lowbie a pass, they turn up later in the night with a mob. Still, I try to be nice. Unless their faction has annoyed me that day.

White wabbit · August 2016

Pffft how many times have I walked past a lowbie thinking I'll let them be only for them to go hit me in the back , so nope alls fair in love and war I say so KILL them all

Stoopid_Nwah · August 2016

Ahhh see I would love to do this, it's just...I tend to hate everyone in Cyrodiil

But on a serious note, I usually try to avoid lower levels when ganking (unless I know it's an alt). Yet, if I gank a high level in a group and it's the lower level that sends hate tells...well, their days of pve zombie farming in blue's sewers are long over

Chances are if I see you in IC or the surface of Cyrodiil, I'll either attack you or evade you, depending on how I feel.

But if I see someone in a delve, I won't attack unless attacked first, that way someone can get their skyshard without being bothered.

Rohamad_Ali · August 2016

Don't know about this . I've seen low level characters 1 vs several in Dolmans before . Battle leveling puts everyone at CP150 range .

I toy with lowbies. My group came across a level 10 argonian the other night and killed it with entropy spam.

Through its Phoenix proc.

It was glorious.

What's sad about this post is that it is a microcosm for what many competitive ESO players actually consider to be glorious.

I have only very rarely encountered kena, so I have no idea. I wasn't really taking a shot at him but the 'farm randoms, ap/hr, taking candy from babies' mindset of competitive ESO players.

Personally, I get more enjoyment from wiping a group with randoms than wiping randoms with a group.

In my day, when one reached the point of owning public servers in an FPS, it was time to join a clan and value was based on success against other clans. Public server achievements were meaningless -- no one talked about pubs because no one cared.

I'm disappointed competitive GvG has never really manifested itself in ESO. At least not in NA. Instead it's 8 hours of "let's see who we can goad into this choke (like we have been doing for 2 years)!!!!!!!"

Sharee · August 2016

I attack everyone, but if i see the guy has no idea what to do i usually bring him down to 10% HP and walk away.

@God_flakes You're such a drama llama

@KenaPKK I wish I was there to see that ahaha epic

@zyk w0t m8? There used to be competitive guilds and dueling back when the game wasn't complete dung. Many players that came to ESO for it's competitive aspects have thrown in the towel after realizing it reached the point of no return with regards to bad performance & mechanics.

Then don't say anything in the first place. You don't even know the people I hang out with.

Let's see titles, rivalries, public bragging rights, etc... I'm sure 'friendlies' happen on occasion, but those are meaningless skirmishes. It's not a match unless something is on the line.

Let's face it. Generally speaking, competitive ESO players prefer to shoot fish in a barrel. It's been that way since I started PVPing in Aug 2014. Perhaps I missed something awesome before then, but I doubt it.

Entirely inaccurate.

You forget.... We were briefly in the same guild.

Hey you kids, get off my lawn!

*equips a rake and chases low levels*

The other day I ran up to a level 11 that was on his horsey and I just made my kitty roar at him, then I did some sweet spins and ran off. I bet he was confused. I should have whispered him something about bacon.
