Maybe if we had better servers instead of the cheap crap they hire, lag and unstable/unpredictable servers is bad enough in 'normal' game zones, but in Cyrodiil it is for most far far worse, to the point its unplayable for many and a waste of time to attempt to acheive anything, hence alot avoid it, but its not for not wanting to take part.
I don't mind in the slightest that PvPers represent a disproportionately loud voice on the forums, but I do note that the mods are always busy moving e.g. crafting and skill related topics from here to their appropriate forums while I can't recall a single PvP related topic ever being moved from here to the PvP forums - not that I'm questioning moderation, merely making an observation.

@Lumbermill_Emperor
It's in the psn trophies.
It looks like it's 92% now that I'm double checking. That's still a good amount of people who have never even got out of coldharbour.
Cheers!

This so much.
I can handle PVP QQ, but when every thread is posted in General Discussion and not in PVP section i gotta wonder if these players really have any knowledge at all...
Lmao the devs don't read the pvp section that's why.
Howdy...big disclosure - i got no facts...
the only thing I'm sure about is that I have an achievement which shows that only roughly 13% of all eso players have ever captured a resource...
if you've played in cyro for even a few hours, it's a pretty easy achievement to acquire...
unless I'm missing something (always a very real possibility) - that means more than likely, active PVPers only make up about 8 to 10% of the overall eso population...it just seems like there's more cuz we're sooooooo flippin loud here on the forums, and pretty aggressive in some of the zone towns too...
given the competitive nature of PVPers - and their strong desire to gain an edge, my guess would be that researching tips on improving their game would lead a decent percent of those players to the forums...it wouldn't be surprising to me if the forum consisted of around 20% pvpers...
So what's my point...if you are a pve type person reading this thread - come visit us in cyro...we're not all loud ganker, wacko types...
with one tamriel soon to roll out, try your hand at some dueling, see if ya like it - then find yourself an active, evenly populated campaign and give it a try...
this is my first mmo and I had little desire to check out cyro when I first started...however, after entering and getting a feel for the place, I can still vividly remember the rush of adrenaline I had the first time I was riding my mount alongside another 10 or 15 players going from one keep to the next...it felt like a moment straight out of the wild bunch (must see sam peckinpah film)...it was the coolest feeling I had ever had playing a video game...
if ya got any questions - let me know...happy gaming trails one and all

Still does not change the lovely people that partake in it. Ohhhhh dealing with PVPers is a loveeeelyyyyy thiiiiiing.

So, not in the in-game listings of trophies?
Just trying to be specific here, because this convo has more than just ps4 players.

im thursty of noob blood in cyro!
I know, it is interesting.
When I play a game, I want to play all it can offer, but my favorite is PVP
Unfortunately I haven't had much time to play recently to get into the campaigns but Even during the IC event I found it interesting that often it was hard to find players, but I go to do my daily writs, and at any time Stonefalls is full of people just chatting and running around town. in Deshaan there are constantly many, many players looking to do dungeons, and I even see many players grinding out in the open world, and I do wonder why more of them don't go to the PVP zones

PVPer (50% or more of play time spent in pvp) - 7-10%
All arounder (Play PVP but less then 50% of play time) 27-30%
PVEer (may rarely play PVP but mostly PVE) - 56-60%
it does not take much to see that PVPer's in general are a minority in gaming, however PVPer's are much more likely to use the forums of a given game as most PVE players when then run into an issue just file a report and move on to some other PVE aspect where as the PVPer cannot move on to a different PVP aspect so must come to the forums about it.
