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.

Everyone is fair game in pvp. Especially PVErs

Take the recent 50,000k TV grief in IC. A group member cross faction messaging a streamer to setup a bomb to his own group/faction to score good boy points. That should be a permaban for both of them.
The PvP mechanics for Cyrodil have such potential but the factions in current form are meaningless. A guild reputation system that rewarded faction loyalty would help but we're instead jumping the shark with housing and dank duels. /yawn. At least spellcrafting is still not completely dead.

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)!!!!!!!"

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

This reminds me. Does anyone else find it annoying that you can enter Cyrodiil at level 10, but you can't weapon slot a second weapon until 5 levels later?

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.

And lastly, if you're in a 50 person Zerg ball with 134 CP and the guy next to you has 531 ... I'm killing you first even if you weren't in my way. Sorry.

You don't get better by competing against lesser skilled players, you improve by taking on superior opponents.
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.
